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.

[ Brow furrowing. ]

... Lacrosse tryouts don't start until after winter break.

[maliayes]

Yyyyyeah?

I think Coach wants Kira to play.

[immuno]

Of course he does.

[ She barrels right through that part nonchalantly. On to more important things. ]

But he wouldn't be looking until January, and it was still October.

[maliayes]

Uh, it was?

[ Give it a minute. ]

... Wait, is this a time difference thing you were just talking about? We're not on the same page?

[immuno]

[ In all the theorizing she did, she didn't factor in that Malia might be the one from further ahead. Lydia's jaw slackens slightly, but she collects herself, looking pressed at being, well, wrong. ]

... Exactly. The last thing I remember in Beacon Hills was your first day back at school.

[maliayes]

[ A look that more or less flies right over her head. At least keeping appearances is relatively easy with her? So long as you aren't stressing so much you smell like it. Which she isn't. Yet. ]

Oh. [ She slumps a little, almost as if in deflatement toward herself. ] If it helps; not much has changed. I'm still just as terrible at math.

... Well, I mean not as bad, once you gave me actual notes instead of the list.

[immuno]

List? [ Her gaze narrows on Malia. ] What list?

[maliayes]

Yeah the deadpool list.

[ Spoilers what are spoilers HOW DOES THIS GAME WORK Malia doesn't know games not this one she knows like. Fetch. ]

[immuno]

... A dead pool. I wrote a dead pool?

[ Yeah, Lydia doesn't need context to know what that means. She blanches. ]

Who was on it?

[maliayes]

I don't think you did. I think it was your banshee powers catching it.

Everyone. Or. Every supernatural in Beacon Hills, with a reward number next to it. In the millions. We're working on it, though.

[immuno]

[ thANK YOU MALIA, SHE GATHERED. a short-lived look of frustration amounts to a long blink and a deep breath. not snapping. not snapping. ]

If someone's offering millions of dollars for all of ours heads, we'd better be more than working on it.

[maliayes]

I guess? [ Nose wrinkle because okay. ] I mean Stiles, you, Scott- you're all working on it.

I did help you figure out one of the cipher keys.

[immuno]

If I wrote the list, why do we need a cipher key?

[maliayes]

Because it was in code. [ Duh. ]
