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 Florida 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.

[hey, when Michael thinks this is worth actually trying for, he'll try. but first he's going to have to buy into a lot more of this whole situation.]

Native. [it's an observation, not a question.]

[cryingontheinside]

[ he supposes he can understand not expelling the energy when you don't have to, but still. it's in bad form or something. ]

Ding ding ding ding.

[thatsmyyogurt]

[Michael nods briefly.]

What area?

[cryingontheinside]

Miami. [ is there another area??? dexter doesn't think there should be. keys? fuck the keys! ]

[thatsmyyogurt]

Same.

...You'd think that if they were going to kidnap us, they could have done more than take us three hours north.

[Michael you're just spoiled by people who kidnap you to other continents.]

[cryingontheinside]

They used to take us to fake New York. This is better. [ so nonchalant yo. ] Though the tattoos are a little much...

[thatsmyyogurt]

[well that's concerning]

...How many times has this happened?

[cryingontheinside]

To me? This is number three. [ he holds up three fingers and shrugs. ]

We used to get dog-tags, that was less creepy.

[thatsmyyogurt]

So...twice to New York and once to here?

[This rather begs the question-] What happened to New York?

[cryingontheinside]

It got "swallowed" by Florida.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, am I right?

[thatsmyyogurt]

[And here Michael had thought that the older population of New York was trying to swallow Florida.]

...Are you serious?

[cryingontheinside]

I'm always serious. [ he finishes his batido and looks at it, like, what do i do with you now, cup? ]

I take it this is your first time superhero-ing. [ sucks 2 b u mikey. ]
