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 might be a haze still and you might even feel frustrated or anxious by the sudden news that you are no longer in your own world and that the Porter scientists and military cannot send you back. You don't get a chance to linger long in the underground Porter lab, but something is clearly amiss; light patches on the floor indicate something else used to sit in that spot in the room. Parts of the wall, floor and the tables look recently refurbished -- something happened in here not too long ago.

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. According to the soldiers, a domestic terrorist attack is the reason why the cheery and small city of Heropa is still under some major reconstruction. For a small city, the amount of outside help called in for reconstruction and repairs has made it livelier than it normally is. Construction workers on coffee breaks wave to the most obvious looking imPorts, some will even salute you. "We couldn'a done away with those bastards if it weren't for good folk like you," they say.

Wherever you go, locals are pleasant and courteous enough, sometimes stepping forward to ask for a quick photo or autograph. 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, while it suffered some damage to its downtown area, never slowed down for a second. For a large city with a bustling population and booming economy, it's quieter than one would expect for it to be, too. If you're trying to avoid the awestruck crowds, you might be able to thanks to everyone ducking under umbrellas and buildings due to heavy rainfall today, provided you aren't letting it slip you're a newcomer to this world. If you're not exactly human-looking or wearing clothes that very much scream medieval ages (or distant future), sorry. There's a high chance the kids are going to crowd you in excitement.

Some locals seem less enthused to see you. They never make an approach, but they can be overheard scoffing and muttering something about cameras. "Who do they think they are?" or "I don't like it... it reminds me of the government corruption back in the eighties." What could they be talking about?

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?

[ 01 ]
[ There are things that should not look normal when they aren't. A nine foot tall yellow octopus-like creature looking perfectly at home standing around in this place filled with military and scientists all about is one of them. The bizarrely permanent smile on his face betrayed nothing of the creature was thinking. He was calmly assessing the situation around him with a tentacle tapping his chin in a thoughtful manner. However, upon being handed the file was when it changed.

As quickly as he had opened the folder it was suddenly closed before another tentacle wrapped around it, squeezing it into the smallest ball he could manage. His face had flashed for the briefest of time a shade of red but in the blink of an eye it was back to yellow. With an odd sound of-- ] Nuu! [ --The creature popped the newly rolled paper ball into his mouth and swallowed it. ]

[ 05 ]

[ A pair of soldiers came up to him, motioning for him to follow. His attention turned to their destination which was a car that waited upon them. With another odd sound, a laugh maybe?, was heard when he saw all of this. ] Nyru-hu-hu! [ Waving away the offer for a ride he finally spoke. ]

Thank you, but I think I'll show myself around instead. Your cars are a little too slow for my tastes and besides, soldiers hardly make for fitting tour guides. [ And before allowing for a word of protest, Koro-sensei was suddenly shooting straight up into the air, leaving behind a mess of smoke and dust in his wake. Once high enough in the sky he shot off away from the sight below, moving at his preferred speed of Mach 20, in order to get a good look around.

It didn't take him long to get a good idea of where he was. This was the United States and has he flew over the different cities, he mentally checked off the cities he recognized. Eventually he settled on exploring Nonah first. When he landed Koro-sensei was more than pleasantly surprised by the greeting he received.

So much so that it wasn't long before his two main tentacles were filled with sugary snacks and pastries he managed to get for himself as he basked in the attention from the people of the town. And without a disguise even! Back home he was treated as the villain (for.... obvious reasons of course) by those that weren't his students. Being called a hero and treated as such? The teacher had no idea what was going on at this exact moment but it was safe to assume that the slightly obnoxious sounding laugh as he crams an eclair into his mouth means he's in a very good mood. ]

What a wonderful welcoming this has been!

[Winry has seen a lot of different people back home, and here in this world too, but she's not quite sure what to make of the being sitting on the park bench in one of Heropa's parks, eating an ice cream cone. Considering his unusual features, he has to be an ImPort, and she hadn't heard of anyone quite like him before. And, being polite, she must stop and say...]

Hello! Welcome to Heropa.

[ It was a most interesting fact that he could slither about the city without having to bother with a disguise. Not that he minded, but it was a touch easier not having to worry about a fake nose falling off his face. Which was why he was quite pleased to see someone coming up to him to say hello despite his out-of-place appearance. ]

Why, hello there! [ The tentacle that wasn't carefully holding the ice cream cone waved to Winry. His smile showed no signs of disappearing. ] And thank you for the welcome!

[Winry's seen some unusual people - a homunculus that resembled a tiny foetal lizard, a pair of chimera who could become either men or monsters. And the real monsters of her world, things that looked human, and weren't. So this fellow might be friendly. At any rate, Winry feels she should always make an effort, no matter how badly it turned out later.

Look at Mr. Kimblee.]

You're welcome. [Said without any irony at all.]

I'm Winry Rockbell. I've been here for nearly a year...if you have any questions, I might be able to answer them.

[ Holding out a tentacle to her, it was an open gesture of offering a hand shake. ]

Thank you, Miss Rockbell. I just so happen to have a few inquiries in mind so I would appreciate all the information I can get. [ He wasn't used to not knowing everything after all. It was a disadvantage he wasn't exactly fond of being in, but one that couldn't be helped for the moment. Hopefully within the next day or two he would be able to catch up on all there was to know on this Earth that was not the one he was familiar with. ]

Oh, and please feel free to call me Koro-sensei! [ One of the two smaller tentacles that could loosely be considered as a finger was held up. ] My students chose that name specifically for me and I'm rather proud of their choice.

[Winry gently grasps the tentacle and gave it a shake. That's what she was supposed to do, right?]

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Koro-sensei. [What a peculiar name. But it did kind of match the person in front of her.]

I'd be happy to help, if I can. What do you want to know?

[ Just...casual skeptical staring. Because what is that thing. ]

Settling in well, I assume?

[ That 'thing' that happens to be munching on a donut now is actually the greatest, bestest teacher in the whole wide world. Clearly. ]

How can I not? The people of this town have been very accommodating, it's most refreshing!

[ Owen's gunning towards 'some sort of magical octopus?' because ahaha, aliens don't exist, that would be silly if it was an alien. ]

We're practically celebrities to the people of Heropa. It only makes sense that they would treat us well.
