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.

[A pause. He seems to be doing some figuring in his mind, because of how he kind of zones out. One of his abilities is location tracking, after all.]

...

I'm afraid I can only give longitude and latitude locations. The coordinates are 48.067522, 12.862291 .

[Ema stares.

She reaches into the bag.

She flicks a Snackoo at his forehead.]

You're annoying me.

[He asked.]

Can't you just answer a question normally?

I answered it the best I could within my abilities. It's my ability to find locations. You should be thanking me, or looking up the coordinates on your phone.

[This has all been a lead up to a joke. A stupid joke. The fact she isn't falling for it pisses him off even more.]

[personal profile] snackingintensifies 2014-09-28 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Jokes are not scientific and thus outside the short list of things she cares about.]

Look up the coordinates on my phone?

[Her phone is a Jurassic era flip phone and she hasn't touched the new one and she's cursed with Ace Attorney technology incompetence, you can't expect her to know these things.]

Nevermind. Don't bother.

[The joke is ruined. Your phone is too old. He's ashamed he's even wasted this much time on this.]

This is why you should just answer questions, kid.

[Back to snacking.]

Homicide detective. [That's the correction she goes for instead of her age.]

If you're not going to help me, I'll just be on my way.
