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 doesn't go far, just to the corner store to pick up a pack of cigarettes. see, when she heard the sirens in the distance, she realized something: there's ambulances coming. that means triage, body bags, mothers arriving on the scene in tears-- all of which means fun shit for her. also, cute EMTs. you always have to look on the bright side of multiple child deaths.

she sits down on the edge of the sidewalk, a safe enough distance but close enough to watch the fun.]

[She would have gladly offered a cigarette, if she'd known the girl was looking for one. A lighter will have to do for now.

She stands next to her, hand stretched downwards to fall within her view while Christine looks ahead, lit cigarette between two fingers. She takes a drag before speaking up, eyes still on the bloody scene.]


That wasn't very subtle, you know.

Subtlety's overrated. [and then she affects an exaggerated look of innocence, looking up.] That's just a general thing. I have no idea what you're referring to.

Then you ought to get with the program, honey, [She exhales smoke through red lips, showing no concern for the girl's lies.] You're not the only one here who can cause a little damage with the flick of a hand.

[a pause.] The government's got its eye on us. Sooner or later you'll get caught. [With that, the cigarette is thrown onto the road, left idle to die on its own.] If I were you, I'd try to make some friends first.

Those are overrated, too. [she shrugs] Uncle Sam can suck my dick. I'm not interested in playing capes and lycra with a bunch of jarheads. They should've thought of that before they dragged my ass here.

[There's an entertained manner to the way she tilts her head with a smile, glancing at her side.]

They really don't care what you're interested in, honey. All they want to know is if you're going to behave.
