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.

[ Well... he's not instantly being attacked so... that's good, right? Still, he stays right where he is, tension only slightly leaving him ] I'd consider hopping dimensions to be pretty rough yeah.

... Possibly rude question, but what are you?

Shit, yeah. Tell me about it.

[Like indoor plumbing. Holy shit. That was great.]

[The question though, that gets a pretty big chuckle out of him.]


Right, yeah. I forget no one here has ever seen qunari before. [A gesture at his chest.] That's me. I'm qunari. The... people. If you want a name, I go by The Iron Bull.

[Aw yeah, smooth.]

The... Iron Bull. No kidding.

[ he chews his lower lip for a second, before ultimately stepping away from the wall ] Are there more... qunari around here?

The horns make it, huh?

[He just seems amused by Charlie's reaction. Which is probably for the best. The question makes him scratch at his chin thoughtfully.]

Not that I've seen. Pretty sure it's just me.

I mean, I think I'd remember seeing more people like you around, but I'm pretty fresh of the newbie bus.

Yeah, we do make a pretty obvious picture... Don't worry, though. Unless you run across some tal-vashoth assholes, worst most qunari will do is try to convert you.
