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 suppose so. And hopefully have a better welcoming, while you're at it.

[ from someone saner perhaps. but then they'll accidentally punch him in the face, too. ]

It can be a lot to grow accustomed to, if you're from somewhere not well reflected in the current culture.

[he gives her a dubious look. from his perspective, she practically fit the bill herself, and not just because she still looked a touch frazzled from their unfortunate first exchange.

a frown.] Um, I'm...sure I'll manage alright. Even if everyone's too tired to help people out. [that's what she's getting at with these mean papers, isn't she? he's a little bummed at the thought.]

[glowsferatu]

[ she shakes her head, managing to give him a smile. ]

Don't look so defeated! Just because some of us may have grown impatient with the same repetitive questions doesn't mean we're all opposed to helping.

[ because he's definitely going to look for help from the girl who just punched him. ]

[siriusly]

[he tries to smile, somewhat chastised, and ducks his head briefly.] I don't mean to assume anything mean, but I guess I've already got a pretty weird impression of everything right from the start...

[glowsferatu]

Well, I... [ she flusters, her limbs pulling inward. ] I suppose I haven't really helped that.

But I'm hardly representative of the whole of our community. You'll find better kindness to account for my lack.

Sorry. Again.
