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.

Nah, nah, s'not powered with magoi either. [The boy shakes his head, looking almost too excited by the sight of all the cars and hover things around them.]

Oi, oooiiii~ [He has one hand curled up around his mouth, calling up to one of the people sailing around ten feet up. Unsurprisingly, none of them pay attention.] Tch.

Hey, princess. [Finally, he turns to Pariya, pointing up at the people zooming around above them.] Wanna get closer?

[pariya]

[She looks at him uncertainly when he calls her "princess".]

Uh... do you mean me...?

[taintedrukh]

Aaaaaa, don't tell me you're not. [He turns, frowning and crossing his arms.] Noble, then? Or did you steal those jewels?

[After all, not just anyone goes around decked up like that, whether in this world or the one Judar's from]

[pariya]

Huh?! I'm no thief!

Th-This is a normal level of jewellery, isn't it?!

[Then she looks around and notices everyone... else...]

[taintedrukh]

[Judar takes a moment to just watch Pariya's apparent dismay before promptly bursting out laughing.

Like the asshole he is.]

Naa, not like it matters. Anyway, kid. [He reaches up, undoing the fabric around his shoulders and throwing it out, infusing it with a bit of his magoi so it stays floating a few inches from the ground.] Let's see what those things are, huh?

[pariya]

I-I'm not a kid!!

[JUST BECAUSE SHE'S SHORT. REALLY.]

Wh-what do you think you're doing, anyway?! How did you do that?!

[taintedrukh]

Whaaaat? [Enjoy this buttface leaning over and peering at you, Shortie McShorterton] If you're not a squirt how old are you? Ha?

[Oh but the grin on his face once she reacts to his little magic show. Amazing how off-put people get at the simplest displays.]

We're going up to see what they are. [He steps onto the cloth, sitting down cross-legged and waiting for whatever the girl's going to do to next. As thin and flimsy as it may look, the fabric doesn't sink at all under his weight.] C'mon.

[Because hey, this girl is different. Meaning she's at least a little more entertaining than everyone else in this city. For now.]

[pariya]

Old enough.

... Is that thing safe?
