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.

Huh.

[He glances at his own, still unopened.]

Wouldn't know, I haven't read mine yet.

[Honestly he's a little anxious to, no matter how cool this probably is.]
audiofile: (excitment!!!)

Why not? Unless you think you're better off not knowing?

[ So maybe she's coming off as a bit too excited about what a stranger's personal file might contain, but if not cheery about his then she'd just be nervous about hers, and that's not a line of questioning she wants to open up. ]

[The enthusiasm is a welcome familiarity, only put off by he doesn't know this person. But he can appreciate it! Excitement of the unknown is something he's used to working in, heck it's what drives him and his friends, really.]

Iiii dunno. Keep thinking maybe... [Maybe I'll wake up and be asleep at the cafe with my family. He shakes his head. He'd done everything he could think of when he got out of the base to try and 'wake up' and nothing worked. And the pain he felt from tackling her to safety pretty much proved it. He shrugs finally.]

I don't know. Maybe a surprise later?
audiofile: (more serious what???)

[personal profile] audiofile 2015-01-31 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough, surprises can be nice I suppose. [ Okay, maybe she is a bit genuinely curious, but she's not one to pry. 'Do unto others' and all of that. ]

Oh! Look at how silly I am though, I probably should've started off by thanking you for the rescue first.

It's okay, annnnd you're welcome. [Now that they're back to this and not his personnel file, he's a bit more comfortable.]

Someone had to and I was right there so...
audiofile: (idk this is a mess)

[personal profile] audiofile 2015-01-31 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
But not everyone would've jumped out into the street like that, so thanks again.

My impromptu hero wouldn't happen to have a name, would he?

It's Tadashi. And I'm not a hero.
