TEST DRIVE MEME

Considering apping into MASK OR MENACE? Want to dip your toes into the setting and get a feel of whether your character will fit into it? Or maybe you're just cruising and want to play around? Then you've come to the right place!

Pick any of the following scenarios below or feel free to make up your own, but don't be afraid to throw yourself at anyone's thread, either!

And remember to have fun!

01. Your memory is hazy and you might feel increasingly frustrated or anxious, or maybe you're excited as soldiers march past, barely glimpsing you. One second you're somewhere underground, the next you're enveloped in blue light, and suddenly you find yourself directly under Flordia sun's bright and burning glare. A female soldier steps toward you with a wide smile on her face and directs you to a car, ready to debrief you. You realize you are not the only one, surrounded by equally confused or eager faces... and you're all sporting a digital tattoo on your wrist.

02. Welcome to Cape Canaveral, where the smell of the ocean is in the air and locals are more than pleased to see new imPorts roaming their streets. They wave, they cheer, they ask for pictures as politely as they can. The more inhuman you look, or if you're wearing a costume, the more likely locals are to approach. Hey, enjoy the moment! The popular malt shop is offering you a free drink if you need it.

03. The technology in this world is certainly something. The cars are clearly modeled after popular 50s cars, but they hover several feet above the ground as they drive down the street. There are digital jukeboxes in restaurants, motorcycles also hover through traffic, advertisements can be seen on a digital projector on the taller buildings. Even kids on skateboards appear to drift a safe ten feet off the ground while playing!

04. Wherever you are, you can hear the loud revving of an engine, distance at first before you finally see it: a hovercar bursting around the corner, going beyond the maximum speed limit and just barely making its sharp turn. It doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon, not with two police cars trailing it... and uh oh. Those skateboarding kids don't have much time to get out of the way as the car comes speeding down the road. You've been brought here for a reason Hero — so you better act fast.

[As many times as he’s been out in space he has no idea what the girl is talking about. But considering he doesn’t recognize this place at all outside of it being a close enough version of Earth, it’s pretty obvious they have been pulled to some other multiverse. Maybe a law like that exists in her world.]

If there is, I don’t know it. Maybe the ones that have done this to us don’t either… [He purses his lips.] Nanites can do many things, so the possibilities of what this is supposed to do are endless.

[Nope, she's just cracking jokes because she's nervous...even if she's not showing just how nervous she is. That and a dumb reference to Star Trek felt necessary.]

I've read some stuff on them. [Research papers, some of which were more in the theoretical stage than reality.]

Well...as long as it's not messing with me in any weird ways I guess it's okay. [It's far from okay. She feels like her skin is crawling just knowing something foreign is in her. She has no idea if it's done anything to her abilities or altered her in any way and that doesn't sit well with her (on top of the fact they can be used to track their every movement).]

[He shrugs, but it's clear he doesn't think that's the case. They wouldn't put nanites under their skin just for the hell of it, but making wild guesses about it will get them nowhere. He has to stay low, listen and then he’ll be able to draw conclusions.]

Whatever it is for, it’s obvious they expect us to stay here for a while. And they are organized, so they have been doing this for a while.

[neededmost]

Yeah. [Those things hadn't passed her notice.] I got that feeling as well.
