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.
no subject
Not that he was particularly concerned about Magicman's slow descent into madness.]
Weeeeeellll, now we know when you started going crazy! I'll keep time so we'll know how long it takes until you really lose it! Kyahaha!
no subject
He gets to his feet with a sigh, any trace of emotion just wiped away. ]
It doesn't matter. [ He shrugs, waves a hand in obvious dismissal. ] It's my job to worry about your welfare, not the other way around.
As long as I can fulfill my responsibilities, my mental state is nothing to worry about.
[ He'll be better.
Eventually. ]
no subject
[Yeah that would be at the end state of Magicman's descent. If he stopped caring, then he'd have truly lost it.]
Serious, serious, so serious! What responsibilities would you have here anyway? It's a whooooole new world!
[Maybe, if Colorman would stop jabbing at the cracks.]
no subject
[ He crosses his arms. ]
Well, I can think of one very brightly-coloured obnoxious responsibility standing right in front of me. He's very hard to forget.
Then there's...eating. And drinking. Taking care of a human body is...much more work. Resting, too. [ So many things to remember. How do humans do it all? ]
no subject
[Please don't.]
I don't see any brightly-coloured responsibilities anywhere!
[Oh boy, human functions. Colorman forgot allllll about that.] Humans require so much maintenance! It's so annoying! I'll just be a Netnavi forever then! [Nah, the real world was too interesting for him to stay confined to cyberspace.]
no subject
[ Two Colormans...he shudders to think of it.
He just stares at Colorman. It is somehow the exact same expression he gives him...a surprising amount of the time, in netnavi form. ]
It really is troublesome. But it can't be helped. [ He sighs. ] There's going to be places a netnavi on their own can't go, after all.
...Besides, if you stay in devices all the time, you won't be able to eat icecream or anything. [ He's not a huge fan of sweet things but he's sure Colorman's going to be. ]
no subject
Ah yes, the familiar Magicman stare. He's faced it down many times before. So Magicman wasn't completely off the deep end yet.
...oh, he hasn't even thought about the possibility of tasting food. This is like an entire new world for him, and predictably, Colorman's eyes light up at the idea of eating.]
We can eat food... We can eat food! We could even eat curry, Magicman! [Aren't you excited?]
no subject
He's just a little emotionally fragile, he's not pitching into madness. Geez, Colorman. ]
It would be nice to taste what I make, for once. [ And to taste what other people have made, too. ] And I'm sure you'd find plenty of sugary things to satisfy you.
