QUIT RUNNING IN THE HOUSE

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 Flordia 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.

[well, this is certainly a step up from the last place she had been upped and zapped to. Sally is entirely receptive to the local greeting, settling easily into her showy graces as she happily takes photos with anyone who asks. there's no doubting she's a natural at this, even if she's feeling woozy from the sudden travel and even if she's feeling a bit pissy about having to go through this shit again.

but there's sun in the sky and the smell of sea and suntan lotion and honestly, it's not half bad of a place to be stuck in. she did love city atmosphere, but there was always something about the promises of warm weather and sunshine that helped to put a spark in her step.]

Make sure you get my good side, hon. [she says, fixing her hair and posing easily and well-practiced with a teenage boy as his other friend snaps a picture, giving him a light kiss on the cheek before waving them off.

yup.

this is her kind of place.]

[ It's not in the middle of it all that nonsense that Sally will see a familiar...well... hood lurking in the shadows of the alley. It's not surprising, of course, that he lurks there, unwilling to interact with the rest of that nonsense. Hooded Justice, after all, has a job to do.

But Sally Jupiter was an ally, or she had been. It made him wish to linger, and watch.

He didn't approach her though, he just waited, wondering if she would notice him in the shaded area of the alley. If not, it would be nothing, but he suspected that she would approach, if she caught sight of him. ]

[ It's been a long time since Nelson has seen another familiar face. Really familiar, that is. The warm weather lends him to dressing more casually by necessity than he normally does back in New York -- he's wearing a pale blue polo shirt -- but otherwise he looks the same as usual minus, maybe, a couple of pounds.

When the crowd thins a little, Nelson double-checks to ensure that he's really seeing who he thinks he's seeing, before he rushes over to Sally. ]

Sally! Sally?! Is that you?
