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: I can't even. (okay no I can't.)

Probably. I wasn't paying attention, it does that sometimes.

[ At least it's not snowing, that's always a mite embarrassing whenever it happens. Luckily, the fountain nearby is just starting to crackle over with ice-floes. ]

Based on what you know about me, huh. [ That certainly earns a sidelong squint, a grin starting to pull at his lips in building excitement. ] I wasn't aware I was already a talking point here, what do they say?

[ Because since everyone here can see him, obviously that's how they know of him. Yep. Logic. ]

[It's kind of odd telling a spirit stories about themselves, but he knows from talking with Loki how situations are kind of different on either side, with stories sometimes bending away from the real truth sometimes.]

That you're the son of Kári, the wind, except that you're very mischievous in doing your own thing, blowing snowstorms everywhere. That's about the gist of it, right?

[There were numerous different kinds of stories revolving the entity, but there's no reason to go so in-depth now, especially when he's distracted by a frustrated dragon, growling as he tries clawing at the bits of ice in the fountain, clearly in his way.

Hiccup turns to the Night Fury, raising a brow with a chuckle.]
Come on, bud. Just claim defeat.
icy: that doesn't end up in a standoff. (you ever do anything.)

[ He wishes he could have found books with this sort of stuff written down. ]

About the gist, yeah ... [ Jack grins at the sight of the dragon, hopping up on the breeze to soar over to the fountain and land on the water, freezing it under his light footsteps.

Leaning on his staff, he peers down at the Night Fury. ]


You could always just blast it, y'know.
