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.

[As soon as it registers she's being addressed, Hawkeye jerks around to face the new speaker head on. Realizing that, of course, it isn't as though she's alone here, there's an audience, and this isn't a situation she was exactly expecting to face after what she left at home, she pulls herself a little more together. Time to rest hasn't come just yet, and at least this time she's not bleeding everywhere.

Still, she wishes she could at least slap herself a little more alert.]

Thank you. [The store gets a brief glance before she meets his eyes again, taking the moment to push the fatigue down a little more, focus herself just a little sharper.] I apologize for the trouble. I was hoping to find a pharmacy.

[whatyougive]

[He shrugs. It's no trouble.]

They should have some over the counter stuff there, but nothing serious. I don't know about anywhere else. [His tone is slightly apologetic, slightly ashamed. He's used to knowing places better than this.]

[firebreak]

That's all I need. Thank you.

[It feels a little rude to just wander off. It also occurs to her that walking into a corner shop a dirty, bloody mess probably won't get her the most prompt of service. She tries to pull her hair over her shoulder to cover most of the problem.]

Are you also a new...ah, arrival?

[whatyougive]

[He...lingers, not wanting to follow, not wanting to impose.]

Yeah.

Not the best welcome. [And near the worst situation to arrive in. Assuming this was happening at all.]
