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.

It's tempting to smash it and be done, but it can be learned in time.
[It's nowhere near as good as ice cream, though.]

Is it so obvious that I was considering it?
[He wouldn't have done it, not when this silly little thing is so clearly important, but oh Maker how satisfying would it be?]
They don't have these where you're from either, I take it?
You can't use that icon on me it's not fair
[Well...and because he didn't exactly have a face for cards. But she can afford to be charitable.]
It took me a while to learn to use mine—it's as if it has miniature paintings on it, but they respond to touch. That makes no sense at all.
I can and I will B)
Believe me, I couldn't agree more. I've spent the last half an hour trying to find this "Voice Mail" I'm supposed to have. I don't know how anyone in this world accomplishes anything if they're constantly staring down at these contraptions.
[As if to illustrate his point he glances back down at the screen of his communicator, lets out one final disgusted sigh, and holds it up.]
My apologies for imposing, but I don't suppose you...?
But but but
[She takes a seat and moves to assist him, smiling but not laughing because she has too much sympathy for that. Carefully, painstakingly, she walks him through the process of how to retrieve his voice mail—and pauses.]
You should know that if you're very new, it's unlikely you have any mail to listen to.
