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.

01.
[ Helena appears elegant, dressed slightly more formal than necessary. She moves with grace, practice and balanced. More than anything, she finds the locals interest in her curious. Although she's famous by some definition back in Starling City, it's not the sort of renown that has people lining up to see you as much as, uh, bolting in the opposite direction. Heiress turned killer vigilante is a niche market.

Regardless, she acts politely, if faintly amused. Why not direct her newfound popularity to more...worthy pursuits? She's still hoping for revenge on her father and his contingent, after all. ]


Should've known convicts would be well-received in Florida. [ said with a saccharine half-smile and a roll of her eyes, evidently mocking, as she signs a slip of paper: Huntress. ] You don't know where a gal can find a directory around here, do you?

[ Thanks to a local dealer, Helena takes a hovering motorcycle (hovercycle?) for a test drive. It's fast and responsive, allowing for some showy tricks. After making a few laps around the central streets, she stops alongside the curb to dismount and assess the bike.

Not bad. ]

[There's a bit of a crowd that has come to signify either the arrival of a new imPort that the locals are eager to get an autograph off or some sort of disturbance. There's a young woman amidst all the commotion that seems faintly familiar and Alfred approaches somewhat cautiously, glancing over her shoulder at the signature.

Coincidence? Perhaps, but it always pays to play it safe, find out more before informing Bruce of what appears to be another new arrival. She's looks younger, perhaps, a little different. Even so, he steps forward into her line of sight with a polite smile.

Perhaps I might be of assistance, Miss... [Helena. He trails off deliberately, allowing her to decide if she wants to introduce herself. His imPort tattoo is visible as a faint glow through the sleeve of his shirt, if one were to look. But he didn't want to openly advertise himself and chance drawing a larger crowd.]
