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.

[There are very few people in this city--this world, as a matter of fact--who know Cullen by name, and of all of them, he's hard pressed to think of a single one who speaks with what sounds like an Antivan accent. His eyes narrow as he searches the crowd for the speaker, and immediately widen again upon spotting him.

He doesn't recognize Zevran at a glance, no--it's been something like ten years since he briefly met the man, and he'd been in a bad way at the time. The sight of an elf in this world is jarring, however. And an elf he doesn't recognize, but somehow knows his name?

Still... whatever his motivations, the elf is actually succeeding at parting the crowd and extracting him, so for now he'll follow along. He doesn't have much choice, honestly. As soon as they've passed most of the gawkers he addresses the other man in a low voice:]

How do you know my name?

We met once, in Ferelden's Circle. I am not insulted if you do not recall. I traveled with the one now known to many as the Hero of Ferelden. [Zevran hasn't let go of Cullen's arm as they continue walking. He guides him further down the road from the commotion, seeming to have a destination in mind. This world is filled with all manner of unfamiliar sights and sounds, smells he doesn't recognize. Even his boots sound wrong on the stone of the road. He is on high alert here, always, but the noise of this place...! He cannot allow it to disrupt him.]

I am guessing, somehow, that this was some time ago for you, though only months for me.
