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.

It definitely takes awhile to get used to. They do not prepare you for this kind of thing in school.

[ she suddenly remembers what she was doing here to begin with. ]

Want a bite to eat? I was actually about to go grab lunch. I'll pay for you.

[neededmost]

Could you imagine such a class. "In the case you find yourself in a separate dimension blahblahblah..." [She puts on some false professor sounding voice before shaking her head, unsure where that joke was even going.]

I'd love to get something to eat. [She'd forgotten all about being hungry with everything that's been going on.] I'll have to pay you back sometime.

[bratarang]

[ she laughs. honestly, she wouldn't be too surprised about a class like that existing here. although thinking about school makes her feel guilty since steph has not looked into it at all since coming here. ]

Deal. I hope you like Thai. [ she points in the direction the restaurant is at. ]

[neededmost]

[If it doesn't exist it's probably well needed.]

Sounds great. [She'll have to be polite and not order too much. She's hungry and has quite the appetite now but it'd be rude to take advantage of the free meal.]

By the way, I'm Gwen.

[bratarang]

Steph. Welcome to the wonderful state of Florida. Or... welcome back, if you were in Florida before you got here.

[ it didn't really occur to her beforehand that there might be some imports who were ported here from the same state. that must have been a bummer. ]

It takes awhile to get used to things, I know.

[neededmost]

First time, go figure it'd a visit would happen in a separate universe.

How long have you been here?

[bratarang]

About two months? Some people I already knew were also here, so I probably adjusted easier than most. [ as well as some people she knows, but they don't know her. that's still something she's getting used to. what if a miniature tim shows up?? ugghhh. ]

It's... interesting.

[neededmost]

That must be nice.

[There's people here that know Gwen and that she knows but they aren't of the same universe, so it'll be awkward when she finally does meet them.]

I...imagine. I've done some reading on theories about alternate universe, I never expected to end up in one. [Okay, so maybe said reading was done on wikipedia during one of those click-a-link-and-before-you-know-it-you've-lost-hours-on-a-site kind of nights.]
