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.
icy: impossible sir it's in johnson's underwear. (what if your dope was on fire.)

Florida! Nice and sunny, not a speck of ice in sight. [ Glancing back!! ] Unless you count me.

[ Since he isn't melting and his clothes are littered in ice. ]

[Winry pointedly looks at the frozen condensation on his malt glass.]

And your glass!
icy: I can't even. (okay no I can't.)

[personal profile] icy 2015-01-31 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Said glass is frozen solid, drink and all, once his staff taps the table upon which it rests. ]

Not mine and now it's not just frosty, it's modern art too.
hands4healing: (This is not a pout)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-31 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She pouts.] Isn't that kind of mean? It'll take a while to defrost enough the waitress can pull the glass off the table.
icy: maybe you're my snowflake. (maybe you're loveable.)

[personal profile] icy 2015-01-31 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
It'll melt soon enough, I doubt anyone except you cares enough about tableware right now to pay it much attention. Aren't your priorities a little skewered?

[ The ice on the table thickens as the butt of his staff remains against it. Whoops. ]
hands4healing: (Curioser and curioser)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-31 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Why would you say that? [She folds her arms about herself, chilly.]
icy: that doesn't end up in a standoff. (you ever do anything.)

[personal profile] icy 2015-01-31 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're surrounded by superheroes at a shindig celebrating them. Celebrating us. [ Here, she gets a flat look. ] And you're getting on my back about a glass?
hands4healing: (It's Okay If You Go)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-31 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Right.]

Celebrating you. You're right.

[She reaches back, grabbing a fistful of utensils off the table behind her. When she raises her hand, it's coated in metal, like a living glove. It moves over her skin like quicksilver.]

It still doesn't pay to get on anyone's bad side.
