KEEP THE MUSIC DOWN


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.

[01]

[In the crowd of confused faces, one figure starts to draw back, away from the soldier. Eventually he turns and starts to work his way to the back of the crowd. He says nothing but is obviously trying to remove himself from the situation and run off to...anywhere but here. Not, perhaps, the wisest course of action in a new place.

But whatever this is, he wants none of it.]

[Balthier didn't like that they had somehow taken him from his own world in the first place, but the fact that they were trying to recruit them for some "greater purpose" made their arguments even more disagreeable to him. Still, despite his thoughts on the matter, it didn't hurt to hear what they had to say.

He stands towards the back of the crowd, half listening to the soldier up front, half scanning the others around him. The amount of people with them was astounding--almost sickening--and he can't help but scowl a little at the thought.

A movement catches his eye. Ah, so it seemed not everyone here was eager to join up. That's a bit refreshing. He waits until Garrett's close enough to hear him without having to raise his voice too much.]


Making a quick exit? Not exactly the easiest task, I'd expect.
