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.

Oh. Look. Another Spider.

[May doesn't really know what to make of this whole thing for now- interdimensional superheroics? Sure! Been there, done that, but a long term stay like this? Nooot exactly one she'd be so eager to jump for, even assuming her parents would be good with it. (Hint: There's no way either of them would have given her permission.)

Either way, she's here now, so she better make the best of it.

Which means being a responsible superhero.

She's swinging when her spider-sense kicks in, and she heads in the direction of the danger- revealing a speeding car, two police cruisers right behind it, someone in costume pulling some kids out of the way and a giant web in between the car and rescue?

It's a surprise, but not enough of one to stop her from swinging down to pitch in. She lands against the side of a building and when the police cruisers rush by, she quickly attaches webbing to both and then against the building to prevent them from crashing into the now stopped car or into anything else.

After she's sure nothing needs further reinforcement, she flips down onto the ground- landing near the hooded web wearing figure.]


Hope you didn't mind having some help. Nice webbing, by the way.

Spider-Gwen brings all the spiders out of the woodwork

[Gwen surveys her handy work for, perhaps, a bit too long. She'd planned to save and leave, no sticking around to be seen by too many people and now there's another spider themed hero standing beside her. She blinks, not that that can be seen thanks to the mask, as turns her attention to the new arrival beside her.] Thanks but if you got this I'm going to become unseen.

[The driver appeared to be unconscious after hitting the web and now the kids were heading toward the two (since the danger appeared to be over). Hope you weren't going to protest, May, because Gwen's already shooting a line to get out of there seeing as the cops are already heading toward the car caught in the web.]
