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.

[ Her manner just puts a person on the defense, he can't help but look at her with wary skepticism. Charming, really. ]
Something bothering you?
no subject
And the name's Jay.
[...since he asked.]
no subject
[ He doesn't care if the thanks were sarcastic. ]
Don't misdirect your anger, Jay. Listen, I'm not the reason you're here. We're all stuck here in the exact same inconvenient mess, you might want to consider getting off on a slightly less threatening foot.
no subject
[she echoes his words with ease. At least that shows she's listening, if nothing else.]
Trust me, bucko, this is me being nice.
no subject
Well, I never said you had to be nice. There's about this much [ He gestures with his arms widely-- ] space between "nice" and "threatening Maxwell Lord with castration." That end? Bad. Anywhere in the middle, knock yourself out.
no subject
For you, maybe.
[don't tell me what to do ur not my real dad.jpg]
So, Maxwell Lord, you gonna start being useful or what?
no subject
[ What's the use? He sighs with mild exasperation. ]
And what, to you, counts as useful? I can't send you home. I can show you where Arby's is.
no subject
Cigarette would be a nice start. Win you points.
no subject
I don't smoke cigarettes. But it's yours if you want it. Plenty more where it came from.
