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.

[Lost-looking people were the reason Jennifer kept coming to these events. She knew what it was like to be lost, to be alone, to not know what to do- and since Jaime had been kind enough to step in and help her, she wanted to pay it forward. So she grinned mischeviously at the well-dressed man.]

Well, where do you want me to start? The superpowers, the celebrity status, the 'where am I' part?

oh god

[auxocardia]

[ He's all but ready to launch into an explanation of how his memory is fuzzy, consequence he suspects of some kind of cranial trauma - to instruct her to start at the beginning. It seems like the most logical way to go about this. Especially since she seems somehow to have expected his confused inquiry.

But then he looks at her face and all the words in his head die en route to his mouth. ]

I-- wait. Kaylee?

:3c

[forsometimenow]

[That... is met with a few moments of blank stare. The name sounds vaguely familiar, she's seen it on the network a few times, but...

Oh, she's still staring. Right.]

I'm not... sorry. You must have me mistaken for someone else, I think.

[auxocardia]

[ ... Wow. That's... Just give the boy a minute to get his head around that. She's not Kaylee. Now that she says so it seems obvious - the face is strikingly similar, they could be twins, but that's not Kaylee's cheer and buoyancy shining through. ]

Wow, I - sorry, I - you... you look just like someone I know.

[ Mal would hush him for that. He'd be right to. Simon's a little late, but he inwardly hushes himself. There's no sense in giving up more than he has to. ]

Could you... start at the beginning? Does this happen a lot?

[forsometimenow]

It's okay- they say everyone in the world has a twin, right?

[She gives a little laugh, but isn't good at hiding her nervousness. Weird things happened here a lot, sure, but this was new.]

Ah- well... do you mean the running-into-people-who-look-like-someone-you-know part, or the suddenly being whisked from your home to an entirely different place part? I know the latter happens here roughly once a month, so you're not alone.
