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.

I KNOW RIGHT I'M SO EXCITED

[ballbutt]

You need more colours! Pink and yellow, and purple, and green! [No please we don't need anymore Reploid colour disasters Sigma was more than enough]

Nope! I don't know aaaaanything about this place! [He doesn't even know where he's supposed to live.... but that's a problem he'll confront later.]

[totalpacifist]

[god sigma is the deadliest visual noise, like the guy couldn't just be satisfied with being a murderous insane person, he also has to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION WITH FASHION.]

You really don't sound all that concerned about it. Aren't you worried about being here? [Because X might have a lot of experience with collecting himself after shit hits the fan but that doesn't mean he's very much good at it. Rainbow kid here seems to be handling things just fine.]

[ballbutt]

[Among other things this rainbow kid is apparently handling fine: being without his Operator, and adjusting to a human body. It's a miracle, really. Colorman was good at adapting to surprises and new experiences, apparently.]

Nooope! Everything is so different and exciting here. I love it!!

[He really just doesn't seem to care much about the past, the future or anything that's not catching his attention at the moment, actually.]

[totalpacifist]

That's probably a really good outlook to have. [IF AN INCOMPREHENSIBLE ONE. how are you adjusting, share with him your wisdom rainbow kid] Well, do you need to find out how to get to housing? We could look together. [Because now X is half-worried that this kid will wander around on the docks until dark and get lost and never find his way there. God.]

[ballbutt]

[Well here's his motto: Don't worry about anything at all, just have fun! That is probably the worst piece of advice for someone like X though.]

Sure! [He was planning on following X anyway because his robot features and blue....ness piqued his interest.] Off to discover housing!

[totalpacifist]

[more like IMPOSSIBLE ADVICE telling x to stop worrying is like telling oxygen to stop being oxygen]

Thank you for the company, Colorman. Did you, ah- did you arrive with anybody? [like a parent

or maybe a handler]

[ballbutt]

Maaaaaybe. [And that's.... all he's going to say apparently. He's not planning on making this Q&A easy for X.]

[totalpacifist]

[.....punk] Um, well... [like should he demand an answer or] I'm not keeping you from anything, am I?

[ballbutt]

Noooope! [Magicman could deal with not knowing where he went for several hours. He's pretty sure the other Navi's just waiting for him to cause a ruckus to pinpoint him anyway.

Go ahead, ask him more questions.]

[totalpacifist]

[puNK

X awkwardly clears his throat and casts about for a conversational topic. He's usually so good with small talk, too; he's fallen out of practice.] Um...well! So, I mean, as disorienting as it is, it's nice to see so many people happy to greet us. I guess it's exciting for them too. Have you...talked with anybody yet...?
