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 definitely not as bad as others I've heard of. Still, I'd take being back home with my wife and kid any day."

Smelly diapers and all. If you wanted to know how to get on Luke's bad side, getting between him and his family was definitely at the top of the list.

"Maybe you could go and fix that Porter thing they have? Make it so it works both ways."

And he would rather be back in Hell's Kitchen than in this place honestly. While he never minded dimensional travel all THAT much, he would very much prefer if it was more controlled and that he had a way to get back whenever he needed to. He gives a small sigh at the mention of fixing the Porter.

"I could probably have it fixed within a few weeks, if that." Being the eighth smartest man and all that. Not that he's bragging you know. "But would they let me have access? I have come to find that things rarely go that smoothly. Regardless of universe."

"I dunno if they'd let you try or not. Of course, if they want to use that as an excuse not to send us home, I can see them saying no." Governments and their agendas. Some days he really thinks ignorance is bliss and wishes he could be one of them.
