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.

[Grumpy is Ema's default setting.]

Exactly. That's the most frustrating thing about it, they've informed us that we've been ripped out of our own lives and have to work for them now, then set us loose to wander directionless around Florida.

[Said disdainfully.]

I guess I'll find the nearest police headquarters... at least I can do something useful, if I'm going to be here awhile.

I need to find a hospital myself. Hopefully these people will understand that my actual medical degree is in a different realm. [ and was given to him by a university that probably didn't even exist here to begin with. ]

So you're a doctor?

[Doctors can be good people to know, sometimes.]

[personal profile] galvanist 2014-09-29 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
A surgeon, specifically. [ and look at how goddamn smug he is while saying that statement. ]

[personal profile] snackingintensifies 2014-09-30 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She sees that.]

A general surgeon, or do you have a specialty?

[personal profile] galvanist 2014-10-01 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ his speciality is corpses. he is not telling Ema that. ]

General, mostly. I worked in a small town, so I ended up doing a little bit of everything.

[But she'd love that. :( ]

Oh. You don't see much of that in LA anymore. Too many doctors wanting to make the big bucks, I guess.

[While she and her fellow detectives have to scrape by. It's a cold world.]

[personal profile] galvanist 2014-10-02 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
So you're from LA? I'm kind of jealous. I'd love to visit there eventually.
