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.

02. [Czes looks like he fits right in here, his shirt perfectly buttoned down, his loafers free of scuffs. He keeps his hair combed neatly. He looks like he could be posed for a commercial, sipping his vanilla malted alone at the counter, just as ordinary as can be.

He's watching the crowd outside, kicking his feet which don't come anywhere near the floor.]

04. warnings for gore

[Czeslaw hears the sirens, sees the children, and looks around. Someone do something, he thinks, but no one's stepping forward. It's probably too much time with the wrong kind of people, but he can't just look away.]

GET OUT OF THE WAY! [He bellows as loud as little lungs can manage but it isn't enough, he has to act.

So he takes off at a run and shoves them out of the way. And the car hits him instead. He hears and feels his ribs shatter from the impact, and the impact throws him like a rag doll. One of his ribs has pierced his lungs, but there's no time to hear the air hiss and struggle from the puncture.

He hears the crack of his skull shattering on the pavement as he impacts it face-first and thinks damn, this is going to be a mess.

He doesn't want to draw attention like this.

He blacks out, knowing a crowd is gathering. Already the globs of his blood on the pavement are rushing back to reform themselves to his body. When he opens his eyes again, he'll be unharmed, his clothes absolutely ruined. But while they're dirty and shredded, in a few more moments, there will be no sign he'd been hurt at all.

He face rebuilds itself like a puzzle of blood and bone, bits of gravel falling away.]
