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.

[hatefully]

[ Beautiful rival character logic.

Forte's foot taps a few times on the pavement of the pier, then stills. ]

Your world is odd, if you have an... official job just to do that. [ Yeah, he doesn't know enough about her world to really get the difficulties. Never heard of a human coming back after they die. After all, humans can't have back-ups or ghost data floating around the network spaces of the internet. Let's not mention to Sabriel that one time Forte transcended deletion out of his sheer thirst for revenge. ]

I've never met that NetNavi. Tch. [ Forte doesn't recognize the name itself, but the naming scheme is familiar so the human's telling the truth. ]

...

I imagine that Porter gave their body a similar treatment as it did me...

[ hmm :|a ]

[ He's silent for a moment, eyes distant and angry, wary. And then she gives him a short lecture. Forte scoffs. Whatever his thoughts on her advice or whether or not he had some ideas of what to do once he re-masters walking, he choses not to share them with the other Import and they don't show on his face. ]

Hmph.

[ ... She should probably save her breath. ]
