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.

[Perfect. Being out in the open like this, though... part of him wants to change to his civilian appearance, keep X as the center of attention. He stood out here, and that bothered him when it wasn't on his terms.

There's a long moment before Break Man responds. There's a simple reason that he isn't dropping his armor - hiding his face means X can't read him. He goes over more than a few potential responses in his processor, before settling on the easy answer.]

He replaced me. [Just as, he's sure in his irrational and angry way, X must have been intended to replace Mega Man after something happened to him.]

[Something like a glitch blips through X's runtime and it takes a moment for the gravity of that to sink in. Humans, he knows, can feel replaced. Reploids moreso; they're so easily assembled, so quick to make that many reploids have been subject to the whims of their brothers, sisters and creators. Replacement isn't uncommon.

But for robots, it must be so much worse. To have a purpose and then to be denied it- To be unable to search for a new one, restricted by your own programming?] I'm- I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

[At the same time X can't hardly believe it. The kind, caring Dr. Light he's always seen in the holograms? A man who always looked so much like a loving father, replacing one of his own dear creations? That...can't be true, can it?]
