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.

It takes a certain kind of chucklehead to enjoy sitting in Florida.

[It's said in jest, like Gabriel cares. None of this was even on the books, and as an ex-messenger of God, it's disturbing he did not get this memo from anyone. There's a brief moment where Gabriel wonders if he should actually set fire to that cigarette before deciding again it. No point scaring the locals, that'll come later.]

Just wait until Summer. All the tourists start to melt. Making twenty mile wide theme parks for them to all trudge around, that's a special kind of punishment right there.

[Grins. Should be hilarious.]

[prettyhotstuff]

[He pulls his baseball cap down a further over his eyes, shielding his face from the sun a little more, and chortles.]

Some kinda evil mind came up with that one for sure. Might have to stop by one of 'em, do a little people-watching. You ever get dragged to one?

[He can't recall ever torching an amusement park before, and it seems like a promising idea for another day. Maybe make a few of those tourists literally melt. Good times.]

[larker]

Pff. A few times. Trust me when I say they are not the epitome of people watching. They're either happy, or pretending to be happy. At least go to a hockey match so you can watch the fans kicking the ever-loving shit out of each other afterwards.

[At least this area is slightly better, and as warm as it is, Gabriel doesn't seem phased by the heat. No sir, he's too busy watching a random passerby who is seemingly being attacked by thirty seagulls. Engulfed in the feathered pests, more like.]

He won't be winging it anymore.

[prettyhotstuff]

[It's weird enough to catch Kasai's eye too, but he watches the seagull-infested tableaux just as casually, flicking his still-smoking cigarette butt on the ground and starting up the next.]

If that's what the seagulls are like around here, remind me to never go anywhere near the gators.
