PARTY AT MOM'S HOUSE


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.

[Not soldier, but close-ish enough. Deadshot killed people for government folk. Actually, for most anyone hiring.

He also wasn't in the mood to get the guy in another panic-attack, so he let that assumption stand.

Army medic to stem-cell-slash-reptile-specialist. [The Doc probably got this next question all time.] Why'd you pick those specialties?

Take a guess, [he replied, bitter tone seeping into his voice.] I wanted to fix myself.

[Well. Damn.

Ask a guy like Floyd a question like that and the first thing he would've guessed certainly wouldn't have been "to grow a new arm." He would've guessed the Professor liked him his snakes and thought the stem-cell route made some good moolah.

[After a pause, the assassin says, with a shrug,] I think a prosthetic would've been the easier route to go, but if that floats your boat--[Because what else could you say about a predicament like that?]

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I suppose, [Connors responded, with a weak smile. He knew that the answer...well, wasn't the best and made him look bad, but it was the answer.]

Now though, it's mostly to help pay the bills. Plus, I've grown to like my work.

[Floyd could, more or less, accept it.] I ain't judging you on the arm-thing. If a fake-arm don't feel real, it don't feel real.

You lose something, you chase after it. Story of the human-race. It's simple enough.

We just can't settle, can we. [said with a small chuckle.]
