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.

Jacob!

[ Somehow he'd really hoped other members of the Normandy crew would turn up here. Even if they didn't happen to be anywhere near the Normandy at the last few seconds he was on it.

Which, really shouldn't be possible, and the nagging idea of "indoctrination" won't quite leave him alone. He hopes Jacob doesn't notice that nagging hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Just in case. ]

I can't say that I have. Or that at this point in time, any Turian's been anywhere near Earth.

[ a pause. ]

I'm not going to cause any universe-altering paradoxes, am I?

[ Of course, if he's indoctrinated, then it doesn't really matter. He shouldn't be thinking that, but he's always been an "expect the worst" sort of guy. It's part of his charm. ]

[Jacob shrugged.]

Maybe. But my guess is, if any paradoxes were going to happen, the universe would have ended by now. Porter makes stuff like this happen all the time.

[Of course, if you believe the Cityverse veterans the universe did end up being destroyed. But Jacob's not going to drop that on Garrus just now.]

Welcome to the 21st century. It's quite a ride. How are you doing so far?
