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.

[Kid Flash shoves the grocery bag he'd rested on the chair right onto the floor and props his elbow on the counter, chin in hand. He's something of an eyesore in yellow and red, and the grin he's wearing is probably one that clearly portrays his delight that a girl asked to sit next to him.]

In no way, shape or form, babe.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Of course the first person she asks manages to turn out to be a horndog! Then again, he is wearing a costume in a soda shop. It almost makes her wish for JJ- but then again, no thanks!]

'Babe'? Is that really the impression you want to give a girl as a superhero?

[Even as she says it, she still takes the seat.]

Thanks, though you might want to work on that delivery.

[runningstart]

[WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT IMPRESSION]

Yeah, I'm getting coaching, apparently it could be better. [He doesn't know how...] Want to give me some advice? I'll pay you in a burger and fries.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Where to start? The ego, the machoness, the misogyny? She still gives him a grin at the offer, though, before shaking her head.]

I can pay for my own, thanks, but I am willing to give you some suggestions, since you're asking.

For starters, girls generally like to be treated as equals. If you act like that with every girl you meet, there's no way it's going to get you anything but a reputation as a bad flirt, even if you are a superhero.

I'm May, by the way. Most of my friends call me Mayday.

[runningstart]

What? What's unequal about buying somebody lunch? Or 'babe?' [He doesn't seem to be pushing it too much at least, content to lean back as she flips through the menu. Mayday? That's a cool name. Totally using it.]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[She looks down at the menu for a bit. Just the soda options alone is huge.]

Well, if I was a guy, would you have offered?

[He better be careful how he answers that one!]

What should I call you, anyways?

[runningstart]

Kid Flash. [He flicks an invisible speck off his chest, right over the symbol. Like it's supposed to mean something to people not from his world or whatever.] And yeah, if you were a dude that I wanted to date, I would've. [Dating dudes isn't really his thing but the point stands.]
