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 feels strange to make that kind of explanation, but he shouldn't be presumptuous. Her statement of him being new "too" implies that she was also brought here likely against her will, and might be just as lost as he is. Marty nods.]
Yeah, fresh out of the "porter".
no subject
Then we should stick together! What's your name?
no subject
I'm Marty. You?
no subject
I'm Amalia. If your friend is here, he'll have come through as an imPort too, so let's go and check the registry, all right?
no subject
Sure. How do we go about doing that?
no subject
[ There were steps in plans and that was one she hadn't gotten to yet. But she recovers with remarkable optimism. ]
But certainly someone at the center where we arrived will know! You don't mind going back there, do you? I'll certainly come with you, of course.
no subject
Sure, sounds better than any plan I've managed to come up with so far.
no subject
[ A beat. Then no, that sounds terrible. ]
Ah, but I'm sure you would have as well!
