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.

[ so, this place? not that weird. well, weird in the sense that everything's different, but on the scale of Shit Roy's Ended Up In? multiversal clusterfuck in the 40s au of metropolis? eh. kori's space ship was cooler. so, he's pretty much just taking a casual stroll down the sidewalk when some freakishly tall teenager starts talking about the illegal acquisition of cigarettes as a minor. el oh el. ]

Guess you better get cracking on ye olde tobacco farm if you want to keep up with your lung cancer, hombre.

[ get to it, dante. because you totally look like a farmer? nah, he's fucking with you, and roy corrects a second after, with a shrug. ]

Check the 7-11 a few blocks thattaway. [ vague tilts of head to the general east, as he gives a loud slurp at the McHugeSized slush in his hands. not quite icee. like icii or icyy. speaking of: ] Or... 8-12. 6-10? We're living the meta censorship dream, now.

[... the fuck did this guy go on about?]

The what?

[His face is nothing but confusion, check those furrowed brows and slightly widened eyes like brother you're trippin' on something.]

So what, is this like the Chinese knock-off city or some shit?

Nah, pretty sure it's Florida.

[ jussayin. nurr hurr hurr, omfg how does anyone stand him. spoilers, they don't. ]

It's like when you watch TV and it's something like McDougal's instead of McDonald's so the network doesn't get sued. Not that there's a huge chance of that here, if McDonald's wasn't around in this world to start with. [ he sips thoughtfully at his icee for a moment, squinting up at the store sign over dante's head. ] Though, ya know, if there was going to be an evil, dimension breaching corporation, I'd totally believe it was McDonald's.

Or Disney.

[Dante would say Fox but their equivalent is the Raptor News Network so you know.

Meta shit.]

I'd buy it from Disney more than McDonald's

[ he's giving the whole affair a solemn nod, looking not that solemn with the icee involved, but whatever. ]

That mouse is gonna make his move on universal domination, just you watch.

We probably wouldn't even have to wait that long. One day, our TV's just gonna be loaded with a bunch of fucking mice running across the screen.
