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.

( They trusted her. Maybe they weren't right to do that in the first place with all the shit she'd done - Glenn lying to Maggie about exactly who she was, that wasn't great arguably - Tara liked to think that maybe she was getting to being the right person to count on. Get in trouble and Tara will be the first person lining up to help you out of it (or attempting to tackle someone much bigger who can hit much harder, as dumb a move as it may be.)
Tara rescues her drowning fries, eyes them for a second, and drops them on her plate. Maybe that appetite is a little diminished. )
Yeah. Cool.
( If she wasn't do very distracted then it might have come across as dismissive. )
Hey, um. I gotta roll. Go wash my hair or something.

[He's obviously not going to question that. He's just going to wave her off, because she has a heck of a lot on her plate right now. New world, new place, new roommates, a new hope that she needs to squash down and a heck of a lot of information that she's going to want to have to deal with. He feels a lot of sympathy for her, having to deal with all this, but it's something they all have to go through.]</small. Good luck with everything, okay?
casually sneaks back over to wrap this up
( She's taking a step before she makes herself fall back a little, catching his gaze. )
We cool to hang out more, later? ( Because this has fun, even with the... you know. Brain melt. )
