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.

Would someone need be an imPort to not be American? I'm told it's a very big world. [ not that she's seen much of it. but her question is ultimately nothing more than mindless pedantry. ] Nevertheless, your guess isn't incorrect.

[dancho]

Sure, America might be this big "melting pot" type of deal, but doesn't that mean just being here long enough makes an American out of anyone who wants to be?

[She's not completely confident in her delivery and aware of some of the logical flaws - not that she stops pressing forward.]

I guess I should introduce myself if we're going to be working together. I'm Haruhi Suzumiya.

[glowsferatu]

[ kanaya meets her introduction with a nod before offering her own: ] Kanaya Maryam.

But I think you bring about the crux of the matter in raising the point of one wishing to fit that consideration. Even were I to believe that to be true, I'm not sure it's a desire I would personally hold.

But you speak as if a outsider. For being such an expert on the Americas, where is it you come from, Haruhi?

[dancho]

Japan of course. [She points proudly at the logo around the collar of her uniform. ] North High School to be precise, not that it means a lot here since I guess that's not your place of origin either... and I don't think there are any other students among the ImPorts anyway.

[If this makes her sad (it does) she certainly won't let it show.] Is there some Heropa High School here we'll have to attend? With a psychic headmaster or anything?

[glowsferatu]

I'd be the wrong person to ask, I haven't been attending. [ and she fully intended to stay on the dropout train. school hadn't done her much good before. ] There was one on the previous world, though I don't believe any of the headmasters had been psychic. [ not in the city branch at least, though she wasn't really familiar enough with its history to know that xavier's was at least named for one. ]

I've known others from Japan in the past, but never really knew what it must be like. Is it really terribly different from here?
