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.

[GOOD JOB, AXL. Though Rock kind of turns at the voice calling (even if it's the wrong name, and not even one he's wholly familiar with. He kind of takes a step back. There's some similarities, though. But his armor is more of a blue jumpsuit-looking deal than X's segmented armor. The helmet's almost a dead ringer, though.

He looks up at you Axl, and his eyes go wide. He's not used to ~~Reploids~~ Robot Masters who look... so high tech.]

Ah, sorry! I don't know an X. Sorry for the mix-up!

Did you need help looking for him? [Because when confused, the first option is to offer assistance.]

[ That sure is a lot of egg on his face. Mixing the two up, he's sure Zero would laugh at him for days and days and days. But he'll just grin past it, especially since the little guy doesn't seem too offended. ]

Well, maybe. I mean...there can't be too many of ya here, right? I mean, I hope not.

[It's hard to be offended when they guy made a mistake. No reason to laugh at him about it. Though now he's curious.]

I don't think he'd be too hard to spot! Hopefully.

[Why did this guy pick him out of the crowd?]

Uh - I'm Rock, by the way. It's been a while since I met a new Robot Master.

[because that's what you are right????]

[ Finding X shouldn't be so hard, but you'd be surprised how difficult it can be to find a short blue guy in a crowd. Hence why Axl was so happy to find Rock at all. ]

Robot Master, huh...fancy name, but I'm more akin to Maverick Hunter. The pleasure's mine, though, Rock!

sure, jan

WOW, RUDE, Y'ALL LOOK THE SAME BUT WITH DIFFERENT DECALS

IT'S CALLED BEING A FAMILY OKAY

THIS FAMILY NEEDS HELP
