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.
asshole with a shitty haircut | the reboot everyone hates
[You know those days where you haven't had anything to drink, and somehow, you still wake up with a hangover and a headache so strong you're pretty sure that maybe you're hallucinating at this point and quite possibly somewhere in your questionable state you wonder if your headache was caused by being smacked with a brick?
Okay, well, maybe not all of those things are normal, but that's exactly how Dante feels. He's too frustrated, confused and slightly appreciative of the female soldier's rack to really start an argument.]
No, thanks, I can walk on my own.
[He shrugs off the soldier, who's trying to tear after him. He's already gone too far by now. At some point, he just. Stops.
He stops and stares upward, covering his eyes with his hands and screwing up his face to avoid the direct sunlight. That's when he notices the tattoo.]
What the fuck?
[What the hell kind of wild night did he have...?]
03
[No, but seriously, maybe he's still drunk or still suffering from a concussion after that lovely little battle with Lilith. Is he seriously in Back to the Future?
He debates if he wants to kick one of the hovering motorcycles on its side, but he digresses. It's cruel to tip cows.]
Something tells me there aren't cigarettes here.
[Said as he cups his hands and peers through a convenience store. This place looks too... nice for anything like that. But he knows better. Everything has a shadow.]
3
[Said by a very tall and broad-shouldered young man with a rockin' hat and long coat. The two of you have similar styles, Dante.]

God he looks like a douche with the hair/hat combination. Who the fuck even wears hats like that?
Vergil, probably.]
Yeah, what with the Stepford Wives look in the background? I was betting not.
no subject
[Shrugs.] Not my problem.
no subject
Obviously enough of a problem for you to answer me.
no subject
Go find your smokes.
no subject
Dante hates cops.
Also congratulations you're one of the few things in the world taller than him that is actually human.]
Now you're the boss of me? [He clicks his tongue.] Typical.
no subject
Don't make a problem and we won't have one.
no subject
no subject
I'm calling you an asshole because you're acting like an asshole.
no subject
[Dante no.]
Who the fuck are you anyway?
no subject
Name's Kujo. I'd ask who you are, but I don't really care.
no subject
no subject
I don't have time for loudmouthed punks who can't even find themselves a pack of smokes. Go be an idiot somewhere else.
i'm so sorry
this is so amazingly awful
[He fixes his hat, knocked slightly out of alignment.]
it is
And he likes pissing off these types.
Isn't that what he was told to do? Piss off Mundus?]
I'd like to see you try.
no subject
Like I said. Give me a reason.
no subject
You know I've fought bigger things than you. Uglier things, too.

03, uniting reboots everyone hates tbh. and shitty hair.
Guess you better get cracking on ye olde tobacco farm if you want to keep up with your lung cancer, hombre.
[ get to it, dante. because you totally look like a farmer? nah, he's fucking with you, and roy corrects a second after, with a shrug. ]
Check the 7-11 a few blocks thattaway. [ vague tilts of head to the general east, as he gives a loud slurp at the McHugeSized slush in his hands. not quite icee. like icii or icyy. speaking of: ] Or... 8-12. 6-10? We're living the meta censorship dream, now.
god roy you have a mullet tho don't even compare
The what?
[His face is nothing but confusion, check those furrowed brows and slightly widened eyes like brother you're trippin' on something.]
So what, is this like the Chinese knock-off city or some shit?
Depends on who's drawing him, butthead!!
[ jussayin. nurr hurr hurr, omfg how does anyone stand him. spoilers, they don't. ]
It's like when you watch TV and it's something like McDougal's instead of McDonald's so the network doesn't get sued. Not that there's a huge chance of that here, if McDonald's wasn't around in this world to start with. [ he sips thoughtfully at his icee for a moment, squinting up at the store sign over dante's head. ] Though, ya know, if there was going to be an evil, dimension breaching corporation, I'd totally believe it was McDonald's.
Or Disney.
you still have a mullet sometimes jerk!!!
Meta shit.]
I'd buy it from Disney more than McDonald's
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That mouse is gonna make his move on universal domination, just you watch.
