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.

[April had, shocking as it was true, been working. Rounding up the teens to get them off and sorted from their new arrival. These responsibilities are immediately and totally dropped (along with the paperwork she'd had in hand) as she made a beeline to the other woman.]
Oh my god.
no subject
[ She's already waving and (carefully) speeding toward April when her responsibilities are figuratively and literally dropped. And get ready, she's going in for a hug. After all, it's been at least two full days since Leslie's seen her. At least it's only a one-armed hug though. ]
I'm so glad to see you here! Well, I mean, it's bittersweet because this is kind of weird. If you're here then that means you're stuck too, right? It's nice to know someone, but then again, you were doing do much back home! Oh, and Andy, tell me Andy's here too.
[ Still hugging. ]
no subject
Just me. Sorry. Hope you two weren't in total love. Or something.
[It's hard to harness the full force of sarcasm when she's just...happy the stupid porter finally spat out someone she liked. Enough that she'd be okay if Leslie was dating her ex/current boyfriend. Timelines were weird.]
no subject
[ April's hugging her! And not threatening to eat her scalp or something. This is a momentous occasion! That's why the subject should be dropped, and she'll just keep hugging. She'll even hug tighter and try to press April's face into her shoulder. ]
Sweet April. Sweet, sarcastic April. You were going to make waves in city Government, but now you're here, doomed to a life of... A Batman. [ He had superpowers, right? Oh well, Ben's not here, it's not important. ]
