Finished

Set Trachtenberg
Mikveh Israel Cemetery

Set stood in front of the rather ordinary headstone, clutching a necklace and a bouquet of pink carnations. His hat and cane lay at the side of the grave and he seemed to have no trouble standing without said cane. His thoughts drifted back to his past, Vietnam, meeting his wife, having their daughter and of course, his wife's eventual death. He stood for a few more moments before sighing and laying down the bouquet at the foot of the headstone. He picked up his hat and cane while shoving the necklace into his jacket pocket. He made his way back to his car and started the engine, but didn't start moving quite yet. His eyes drifted across the street, a favourite shop of his wifes sat, staring at him like a challenge. His eyes narrowed as he turned the ignition off and got out of his car.

Set entered 'Starbucks' looking about as out of place as a toaster on a fence post. He swept his long black jacket back and reached into his pocket before pulling his wallet out of said pocket. He eyed the menu that was stationed above the counter before making his decision. He gave a courtesy smile to the young, pimpled attendant, a courtesy that was not repaid.
"An earl gray tea please" Spoke, Set. The attendant went through the usual speil before getting him his order. Set paid and began drinking it as he exited the establishment. To him it had too much of a 'hipster' feel to it, he certainly didn't get what his wife saw in the place. After his first sip his face turned to a small scowl, he leaned against a pillar inside the shop and pulled out his small, old mobile phone. He punched in a few numbers before raising the phone to his ear and talking.
"Hila, It's your father, I'm in that Moonbucks place and let me tell you-" He took another sip. "Oy gevalt is this bad" He could hear his daughter laughing on the other side of the phone.
"You need to get with the times, dad!" She spoke "Not everything can be made with as much time and effort as you make it, it is a fast-food shop after all."
"Would it kill them to put a little more citrus in it though?" Another laugh came from the other side of the phone.
"Dad, I've got to go pick, Sophia up from school, speak to you later ok?"
"Alright, bubbala, give my love to Sophia."
"And stop using those old Yiddish phrases! This isn't the Torah for Pete's sake!" Set laughed a little before closing over his phone and exiting the shop. He sidestepped a young trucker as he left the shop and got into his car.

Home
Set laid his cane down on the table next to his chair. He leaned over to his right and fiddled with the record player for a while before finally getting it to work. The music of 'Gilbert O'Sullivan' began to echo throughout his house. Namely 'Matrimony', Set's favourite song. He picked todays newspaper up from beside his cane and began to read, sipping the 'disgusting' tea as he did. He had longed for a hobby since his wife had died. He had tried out stamp collecting, kite flying and even trainspotting. But all of them had been too boring, and the third one had involved too much 'Irvine Welsh' literature. Nevertheless, he remained content in his small, boring life.
Sorry, I'm dropping out of this because I keep playing Phantom Pain too much and havent had time to write my CS outside of that.
Interested, this is just a placeholder.
~Around one Year Previous~
Joe sat with his feet up on the dashboard of his delivery ship. He ran a comb through his hair as he watched a small television broadcasting some gameshow from Galganon III which involved a rather unhealthy amount of lava and a lot of questions about something that was essentially space cheese. The hand without the comb in it was flipping a pen inbetween Joe's fingers. Boredom was rife upon his one-man ship to say the least.

Joe rose from his chair, tossing both the pen and the comb on the dashboard and making his way to the cargo bay of the ship. He threw the tarp off the bike when he reached it. It was a beauty to say the least. Some rich teenager had gotten his dad to buy it for him for his birthday without even knowing the true story of the bike. It was a renowned racing bike, used by the famous racer 'Gip Bruter' in his sand marathon against 'Braethor Huskin'. Of course, to an Earthling this would all sound like gobbledy gook, but to Joe it was his favourite sport. He ran his hand along the bike before throwing the tarp back over it, sighing and returning to his seat at the front of the ship.

The quiz show had long since switched to informercials and it seemed, Joe had little to do, but sleep. He switched off the tv and put his feet on the dashboard while resting his hands on his stomach. He stared at the vast emptiness of space for a while, before his eyes began to flutter and he fell asleep. After about 15 minutes of proper REM sleep disaster struck. Joe's hand fell onto the console and slapped the button to change course before sliding down to the warp drive key. Unbeknownst to, Joe, he had just set co-ordinates for earth at a speed much higher than he had ever anticipated.

A few hours later and Joe awoke to see flames engulfing the front of his ship. He was crashing through Earth's atmosphere and down onto the hard land that would inevitably spell his doom unless he got to safety. He leaped from his chair, sending it spinning as he sprinted to the cargo bay. Dynamo-Corp took much better care of its cargo than it did its workers, and in accordance with these ideals, the cargo bay would lock after any sign of danger. Joe of course knew this, but had not planned ahead in case of an emergency. He started hammering random codes into the keypad by the door. After 3 tries it simply displayed the words "locked" and Joe was unable to work the keypad anymore. He began biting his finger nails and hopping from foot to foot. He could feel the ship getting warmer as it plunged further towards Earth. He turned back to the keypad and ripped it from its place on the wall. He reached his hands into the wall and began connecting wires in a seemingly random order. As if he had meant it to happen, this worked and the door slid open. He threw himself into the room and the door quickly slid shut behind him. Joe slumped against the motorbike as the ship plummeted to Earth.

Present Day
Joe wrestled with his hair as he tried to fashion it into his signature pompadour. He swaggered out of his bathroom, putting on his letterman jacket as he did. The apartment he lived in looked quite nice when Overwatch Twelve had first placed him in it, but since then it had become messy and awkward with all the clothes and whatnot strewn across the floor. Joe had meant to clean the place, but had been preoccupied with important things such as video games and television.

He left his house with the intention of finding some crime to stop, which was much easier said than done these days. To tell the truth, the heroes had been on top of their game and every supervillain that came along was quickly dispatched before they did too much damage. Deep down, Joe actually wished for some sort of challenge to come his way, he was in no way an exceptional fighter, but something that got his blood racing every once in a while was much appreciated. Plus he had a bunch of one-liners memorized in his head for various obscure occasions.

Joe stuck his earphones in and began to wander. Claychester was a big place, and Joe didn't entirely know his way around the place as much as he probably should have. As a result, he often got lost which was what he had done today. He had made his way to the poorer part of town and essentially went down various alleys and streets and had strangely ended up in some sort of park. Joe sighed, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He wandered into the park, smoke drifting off behind him as he walked. He found a seat next to what seemed like some sort of homeless wizard. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Excuse me, you don't happen to know where I am do you?"


Interested, will get app up soon.
Sorry, Im dropping out of this.
