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.

Ah, I'm fine.

[Look! He'll even demonstrate it by getting up and dusting himself off! Don't mind the tears in his pants or road rash on his arms. He's okay! Nothing nearly as bad as half-baked childhood experiments caused.]

Couple band-aids and good as new.

[attainment]

That's good to hear. [He's watching him carefully to make sure that's really true.] Still, maybe we should get a doctor to give you a quick once-over. When it comes to your health, better safe than sorry.

[He may or may not have promoted some healthcare campaigns back home, okay.]

[tadeadshi]

[Tadashi's idea of what constitutes a doctor visit may be a bit skewed. This is nothing.]

A doctor might be a little much? Really, I'm okay. But what is that?

[ "That" being the suit he's wearing. Just from the footsteps, it's a heavier metal material and he can't figure out how it hasn't crushed the guy inside, let alone how he's walking. All minor injuries are an afterthought as he starts looking him over. ]

[Well, if he's going to keep insisting he's okay, then Barnaby certainly won't keep on about it. As someone who prefers picking his battles, when talking to stubborn people he tries to avoid miring the conversation in any unproductive debates.

The next question isn't so unexpected, though, and he places a hand on his hip, gesturing at his armor with the other.]

It's my powersuit, designed by our in-house engineer back home. I wore it for my job and happened to have it on me when the Porter brought me here.
