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.

"It's hardly my favored time of the year, now is it?" he asked, waving his hand that held his cigarette holder, as if the question were ridiculous. Of course, in his opinion, it was.

After all, he was the Penguin, even if he didn't often claim the name publically, there were certain things that should be expected.

The date related riddle, of course was something he wouldn't even bother with. He didn't want to play those damn games, at least not with Julian Day. "Settling in, then? You look upset about something."

Julian smiles wider at the response. "True. You now have a long wait until your time comes again."


His smile vanishes. He gestures to the jukebox visible through the window. "Time is important. This world is out of time."

"This world does not operate with the same standards as our time," he corrected him, bluntly. "Just like the City before us had its own standards, and how time doesn't work the same way."

Really, other Gothamites and their obsessions. Oswald was more than happy that he wasn't playing those sorts of games.
