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.

I can. It's a letter or note people leave each other that you can listen to, like an echo.

[ Chise lives with a skull headed demon that acts like her fiance in the English countryside full of fae folk and demons down to a Grim from the turn of the century. This would not be the first time she had to explain something mundane.

Sitting down beside him at with a respectable if a bit wary distance, Chise digs out her own phone and proceeds to go through a demonstration of which buttons went from the main screen to voice mail. ]

Phone calls are letters without the time delay. If I can find your name on my phone then I can hit this button here and talk to you from just about anywhere. It's not magic.

[There's still a moment of hesitation--he feels like a raw recruit again in this place, and that's a feeling he could have done without experiencing again--but before long he's following along intently, watching her navigate the screens and buttons on her own device before turning back to his own to see if he can duplicate the actions.

At that last bit he snorts.]

It may not be considered magic here, but it certainly seems it to me. There's nothing like this in Thedas. No one would ever accomplish anything if we all had to figure these things out.

Magic is magic.

[ Chise watches his reaction as she followed through with her demonstration how to navigate the smartphone. It was not a monumental leap in assumptions that this man has some basic if not mundane understanding of magic. ]

I can teach you how to use your phone, but magic not so much.
