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.

HERE WE ARE, GOING FAR, TO SAVE ALL THAT WE LOVE

[wonk]

Hey, do they have Nicki Minaj in there?

[Roxy stretches her neck over Aelita's shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse of the catalog. It's almost as if she just appeared there, rather than actually walking over.]

Also your hair's nice. I like it a lot.

IF WE GIVE ALL WE'VE GOT, WE WILL MAKE IT THRUUUU~

[audiofile]

[ The sudden voice in her ear causes her to jump, turning around to face Roxy with a startled look and her hands spread over the glass display almost as if she'd had something to hide. (Which is absurd of course, but just how distracted had she gotten exactly?) ]

I, uhm, thank you? I'm not really sure who Nicki Minaj is though...

[ the things you miss out on when you're from 2004 ]

[wonk]

You're about to find out though. Here, can I...? [She sneaks her hands around Aelita's, and pokes in a half-glimpsed code.

She gets it right on the first try, and after appeasing the machine's demand for a quarter, the radio edit of Anaconda begins to play. Roxy's grin widens as the beat kicks in.]

[audiofile]

[ with the immediate scare out of the way, Aelita allows room for Roxy to finagle in her code and quarter. She finds herself bobbing along to the beat, if only a little. ]

Not quite my style, but it's good! Is this something from here?

[wonk]

Kinda has to be. But it's from my world too. One of the classics of this century.
