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.

[It had been more a result provocation than a true mugging. The man had attempted to steal from him. Locke had rebuked his technique. The man retaliated with insults involving his mother. Despite having no mother to insult, Locke came back with insults to his potency. They had argued then the man had snapped. Locke had misjudged his opponent's desire to gut him and a chase ensued and led them both across the city and into the particular alley where a woman was apparently waiting.

Locke feels nothing short of relief when she takes him out, slipping easily into the role of overwrought victim.]

Oh, gods save you! Thank you! Thank you so much! He just-I was just walking and-Oh, I can't thank you enough! Saved my life, you did, a true hero! [He put on a good show of blubbering, rushing over quickly to grip and squeeze her shoulders. The onslaught of praise continues until he feels like he's adequately drowned her at which point he steps back and takes out the mugger's wallet-a small memento palmed from his attempted murderer. He opens it at a precise angle so she can see all the money within it-a good deal for a thief-and fishes out a twenty, thinks about it, and plucks forth another.] Please, please, allow me to show my thanks. Really, you've saved me.

[ The moment he gets to close for comfort, Sara immediately draws back. A certain degree of relief and thankfulness, she could deal with, but to this extent is off-putting.

Especially when he pulls out the man's wallet. She doesn't make any motion towards taking the offered money. Not that the guy didn't have it coming to him, but. ]

You sure you want to do that?
