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.

What'er you deaf tin man? I just said I slay deadites. You know? The evil undead? Zombies? Things that go bump in the night and possess your best friends in a lonely wood cabin in the middle of nowheresville Michigan and make you regret your life choices?

[Cue: crowd gasping. Also they start to wisely give them both heroes a little breathing room as Ash is rather animated with his 'slaying' gestures, swinging the chainsaw above everyone's heads back and forth. A good barber he would not make.]

Nevermind, you wouldn't get it--you're probably not even human in there.

[A little itsy bitsy claw extends out of the barrel of the cannon and clamps around his chainsaw to literally reel him in a little. Samus would prefer not to have her new compatriots unintentionally behead anyone. She's really trying to lay low while she figures out the dynamics of this whole situation. Manslaughter and law enforcement is not a path that leads to laying low in any way shape or form.]

I'm just surprised. It's a rather primitive weapon.

[It doesn't even have LASERS or ENERGY BEAMS or anything. But alright that is egging him on a little. She should probably verbally back off chooses to ignore the human comment. The ambiguity of her identity is beneficial sometimes.]

Primitive?

[He scoffs, slowly shaking his head and pursing his lips into obvious offense. He speaks slowly and deliberately.]

Let me tell you [And he tries to waggle his big metal chainsaw finger at her but finds some resistance--what the... off off get off he shakes it off but keeps his weapon of choice down after that, opting to point with the other hand made of flesh and bone.] what's primitive.

Primitive's being stuck in 1300 AD and using your hand to wipe your ass after shitting in a hole in the ground and calling it good manners. Primitive's when yours truly knows more about basic chemistry than the village elder with a beard so long he coulda' choked on it. Primitive's when I had to check the bed for fleas after getting some sugar.

So don't talk to me like I don't know primitive when I see it.

[Did he just prove her point... did he unintentionally agree with her... the world may never know. There is a mom in the crowd who is covering their child's ears. It's probably the kid with the hat that says to stay away from books.]
