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.
2 SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMS
He imagines it might be one of the hidden ones he believes to be in this world, convinced that they should exist here, just simply out of sight from the public. So filled up with excitement, he soars down to where the crowd begins to form, curious for the meeting until — ]
Snotlout!?
[Okay, now that's the last person he expects. With Toothless sliding onto the asphalt, Hiccup makes to quickly unhook his leg from the saddle, hopping off and along the street, squeezing past the crowd, with his dragon following behind with a tilted head and a confused expression.]
Snotlout! What are you doing here!? How — how did you get here?
8DDD
And Snotlout? Well, he's standing on his podium with a brand new sweatshirt tied around his neck like a cape, a shell necklace or ten around his neck, a few giant dollarstore rings with plastic gemstones strung onto the horns of his helmet, and a rather nice walking stick in hand, immediately being pointed at Hiccup.]
Nuh-uh. No way, I have dragon rights here. [He taps his new staff on the ground and sniffs importantly.]
So if you can't offer anything to top Hilda - [He gestures to the little five year old girl cheerfully collecting coins in a baseball cap from the people in the front of the crowd. How Snotlout keeps getting people to trade their kids (or, in this case, annoying younger siblings) away to him is anyone's guess.] - back of the line!
