owning your okayness
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 someone else's thread, either!
And remember to have fun!01. Your memory is still a haze and you might feel frustrated or anxious, or maybe the sight of an underground lab you've just been led from by an escorting soldier with dried blood splatters on the floor stirs something else in you. The soldier apologizes for everything you have to see; a recent attack has left the underground lab in Cape Canaveral in near shambles. Military personnel move past you, focused on the sorely needed reparations and clean-up. You're ushered out quickly and then suddenly, you're enveloped in a faint blue blue light before you find yourself under the bright Floridian sun. Another soldier steps toward you with a smile, directing your attention to a car near a large gate. She mentions she'll be debriefing you soon, handing out a brown folder. You don't see the digital tattoo on your wrist, but it's quickly explained on your way over to the car as you realize there are other confused faces nearby, all holding files of their own.
02. The city of Heropa is worse off than the base in Cape Canaveral. The streets looks as if either a hurricane passed through the city or a small recently made it their personal wrecking grounds. Asking anyone will reveal it's the latter... sort of. None of it was intended. The locals are nice, busy with cleaning up the streets and fixing their shop windows and doors. They normally would love to take pictures with you, Hero, though they are preoccupied with work. Every now and then, however, anyone who is so obviously an imPort will find a local backing away from them nervously, pulling their child back with them before closing a door.
03. De Chima, Virginia, hasn't had the same rotten luck as Heropa. Downtown has closed off some streets for repairs, with parts of the street torn out or shop windows shattered, however people in this big city carry on with their daily lives. Anyone who is quite clearly an imPort may find themselves the center of attention, particularly with young children who rush over to you on their hoverboards. Some of the adults passing through smile and wave at you. Thank you, they say, thank you for stopping that domestic terrorist group. The country owes you. They feel even safer with an elected imPort Ambassador watching over the city.
04. Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania, has, as always, avoided any major or minor damages. Ask about the Hornets or the recent fights between imPorts and the locals will shrug. Don't get them wrong; they're glad those damn Hornets have been dealt with, but they don't want to discuss politics. Try asking the local imPort Ambassador. What's his name? Ryan? Revan? They don't offer any more information. Naturally for a big city, the people are somewhat aloof in nature. You might even notice the police are just the same, turning their heads the other way when two shady figures exchange fat wads of cash at the street corner. Did the police just drive away in their hovervehicle without bothering to observe what those two were up to? They sure did.
05. Nonah, North Carolina, is the liveliest of all cities. It's loud, busy and there's some kind of energy in the air that gets everyone buzzing with excitement. Anyone who they come to determine an imPort is bombarded with all sorts of offers; job offers, advertising gigs, spokesperson for advocating children stay in school, etc. Anything and everything! You name it. Shops offer discounts for food and clothing, whatever they need. People flock in droves with questions, but they all say the same thing. Thank you for your service to this country, Hero. You saved a lot of lives. Wow, feels great to be a hero, doesn't it?
no subject
what happened is someone thought they could solve things by breaking it
if we learned anything from that it was the confirmation of something we already knew
breaking things does fuck all for anyone
no subject
Whatever, if it gets you out of my nook I won't 8r8k anything, jeez.
How a8out WE do some catching up?
It's 8een aaaaaaaages since we last saw each other pro8a8ly!
Time flies when you're jumping headfirst into mysterious holes to save the universe and deli8er8ly not stopping Eg8ert from making really shitty decisions.
What have you 8een up to, Maryam?
What's your deal 8een?
no subject
so you can spare your wishful thinking for someone else
im also not about to talk about my personal life with you here in public
i have severe doubts that you would even care about any of it
no subject
Two, I thought I made it pretty clear that I'm d8ing HIC, so may8e you're the one doing some wishful thinking!
Three, who cares a8out your personal life, I don't want to know a8out your quadrants or 8oring shit like that.
I just want to know what you've 8een doing for however long you've 8een here!
That's haaaaaaaardly scandalous, now, is it? :::;)
no subject
but i shouldnt be surprised that one sociopath found another
also youd be surprised just what scandals im capable of
no subject
Quit 8eating around the 8ush already and spill the 8eans!
If it's a good enough scandal every8ody's going to know a8out it already anyway!
And if it 8n't then you're not trying hard enough.
no subject
[ god. phrasing. ]
if everyone already knows about it you can go about learning for yourself
just because ive had to clean up after you before doesnt mean im here to wait on you hand and foot
dont be so lazy vriska
