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.

Comments

[audiofile]

[She glances at the file again briefly before handing it back - don't wanna be too nosy after all - and looks at its owner.

Its very frost covered owner. Interesting.]

Not a problem, though I'd keep a better eye on it if I were you. I'd hate to see the wrong person get their hands on it.

[icy]

Really? What would they do with information on me, steal my identity? [ Nevertheless, he stuffs the file away in his hoodie. ] That'd be interesting to see.

[ He'd love to watch people pretending to be him, as a matter of fact. Kids at Halloween? Cosplayers? Yes, please, anything that isn't another crappy movie remake with a forty year old man in it. Taking what he can get has been his mantra for so long that finally being seen by people here is like eating too much of a good thing at once. ]

[ She shrugs. The fact that her own file even exists has alarm bells going off for her, but not everyone thinks like she does. ]

You never know. Someone might decide they need some weather-changing done and use it to track you down, not everyone's as nice as I am.

[icy]

They could just ask, I don't bite.

[ He grins for her, leaning on his staff. ]

And you would be —?

[audiofile]

Hmm, that's true. But some people can do some awfully mean things if they think you'll say no.

[ She grips her own file just a little bit tighter, but the tension doesn't reach her face. ]

Aelita, it's nice to meet you. Jack, was it?

[icy]

Just Jack, yeah. Jack Frost. [ He glances at the grip on her file, making no comment on it. The whole experience is disorientating at best, distressing at worst, and it falls outside of his immediate nature to provoke either.

Instead, his smile remains open and friendly to try and put her at ease. ] So what do you, Ally? What's your superpower?

[audiofile]

[ She returns the smile like it's second nature. Whatever's got her bent out of shape, it's easily put aside for the time being apparently. The crowd gets a cursory glance before she answers.]

Oh, they gave me a couple of things, but here isn't exactly the best place for a demonstration on energy fields.
