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.

[ Apparently that is just the way this particular Eldar's luck runs.

Just when you think you might be safe, strange elves wander in to equally strange malt shops and disrupt your life further. Ordinarily, Elrond would be absolutely thrilled to see another of his kind. Being cast adrift in a sea of humanity (as much as their blood runs through his veins, as much as his twin loved them, as much as he loves them, strengths, faults, and all) is liable to make the friendliest of people feel a little out of sorts.

Except this elf isn't exactly what he seems.

The same foreboding that Sauron once engendered creeps through his system, quietly warning around appearances being deceiving. Unfortunately, for at least one of the two men, it does not come with a handy-dandy cheat sheet. So the guy may be a creep, but he isn't sure which creep. ]

Hail, stranger, and well met.

[ Elrond rises from his seat, a touch of wariness in his otherwise polite expression, and bows in greeting. No instant torches and pitchforks, Melkor. No overly enthusiastic welcome, either. This Noldor learned from the past. ]

May I join you?

[Melkor asked with a friendly smile. This elf wasn't exactly jumping up to greet him but neither was he entirely rejecting Melkor and slamming the door in his face.

He doesn't wait for the invitation as he sat down in the chair opposite of Elrond, making himself comfortable despite the stares they are getting. What seems to be two elves catching up seems to be something of an uncommon sight.]

I do not believe I know you, what is it that you are called? We may very well be kin.

[Melkor asked with curiosity as he peered at Elrond.]
