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.

[Oh no a small child this is not what Max wanted at all. She looks very cute and innocent and part of Max wants to just put distance between himself and her immediately- keep any of his grime from rubbing off on her. But the fact is, he does need some kind of clue what's going on here, and she looks like she could give it to him.]

You got it. [Wryly.] Just got... 'ImPorted.' I think that's what they called it.

[friendshiprocks]

Correct! [ she responds, with a grin. ] And it just so happens that I, Hime Shirayuki, know a lot about this place, so feel free to hit me up with any questions you've got!

[envy_the_nayme]

Is that so?

[She is too perky. Too perky, at least for Max.]

And how do you know so much, Hime? You don't look like someone the military would hand a lot of information to.

[friendshiprocks]

[ she is so perky. and so lying right now. ]

Well, you learn these things when you're stuck somewhere for a while.

[envy_the_nayme]

Uh-huh.

[Max has been called dumb many times, with many varying degrees of justification, but he was a detective and he can tell when a teenager is fibbing.]

Well, impress me. What do you think a new guy needs to know about all this?

[friendshiprocks]

Well to start with, if you don't have superpowers back home, you've got them here!

[envy_the_nayme]

Yeah, so I heard.

[Max looks down at his hands as though challenging them to sprout claws or catch fire or... whatever.]

I don't feel any different, though.

[Mainly because he retains his game-canon 'powers' of bullet-time reflexes and painkiller healing.]

[friendshiprocks]

Then you must have had powers back home! I didn't feel any different when I got ported in, and that's cause I had my powers from my world. [ and she is just so proud that she managed to figure this out ]
