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.

[She understands his unease. His frustration. She's been there. ]
A year and a half, I suppose. This city and its government took us in, as far as I can make out. The city we were in before met an unfortunate end.
[A year and a half and she's lost the ability to articulate apparently. ]
I've been in Florida only a few weeks. I have to say, I miss my apartment.

[ And they took away everything else I fought for.
Hopping down to the pavement with a breeze smoothing his descent, he props his staff against a shoulder and pulls up his cuff, shadowing it so the AWOL flickers briefly before being blotted out by sunlight. Leaning on his shepherd's crook, he slouches a little to put them at more of a height. ]
Did you get one of those as well, Rose?

None of us escaped them, I'm afraid.
[She pauses for a moment, studies Jack quietly and then glances around at the patter of snow. ]
Will you be staying in camp? I think some of us might appreciate a brief break from the Florida heat.

[ As much as he offers a brief smile at the kind segue she offers, he doubts being a portable freezer would stay novel for very long if he got to know people. Anxiously, his grip ripples and reasserts around the wood of his staff. ]
What's it like?
[ Because that's better than talking about his own problems. ]
