OH MY GOD YOU GUYS

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 someone else's thread, either!

And remember to have fun!

01. The city of Heropa is what one might expect from a small, bright and cheery place, where locals are friendly enough and local shop owners might offer a free drink to welcome you to their fair city. Some of the locals might thank you for always lending your service to the nation and others might not say anything. In fact, some people might back away from any imPort who quite obviously looks like they aren't from around the neighborhood. Once in a while there's a look of disdain on someone's face and hushed voices. An upset voice wonders aloud: "More of them, when we already know they can't protect us? That's just painting a bigger target on the city's back!" However, they're quickly hushed with a judgmental: "They helped save the cities, and it's the Soviets you should be angry with anyway! The imPorts are here to protect us!"

02. De Chima, Virginia, is a large city with a healthy economy, and though it's quieter, there are just as many citizens awed at your presence. Many people are out and about taking care of their regular business, but that doesn't distract them from crowding you in excitement if you're obviously from a different time or world, or just let it slip that you're a newcomer. Children and young teenagers are especially likely to ask for an autograph and a photo.

Some locals seem less enthused to see you. They never make an approach, but they can be overheard scoffing and muttering something about spies. "How can we trust any of them now?"

03. Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania, is not as friendly and its citizens tend to go out of their way to avoid walking down the same sidewalk as the more obvious looking imPorts pass through. Local cops say nothing, but they scowl at those imPorts and mutter under their breaths resentfully about "vigilantes". However, not all locals turn the other way seeing imPorts; some of them will offer a polite enough smile and thank them for their help in overthrowing the trespassers. They don't stop to clarify what they mean, though.

04. Nonah, North Carolina, is the liveliest of all cities; loud, busy and there's some kind of energy in the air that gets everyone buzzing with excitement. Anyone who they come to determine an imPort is bombarded with all sorts of offers; job offers, advertising gigs, spokesperson for advocating children stay in school, etc. Anything and everything! You name it. Shops offer discounts for food and clothing, whatever they need. Advertisements are abound for imPorts to make appearances at various, televised celebrations, luring them in with promises of free food, merchandise, and payment.

[ ELICIA!!!1! LOOK AT HOW BIG THE HAT IS ON HER TINY LITTLE HEAD. LOOK AT HER FAT LITTLE FINGERS. ]


Maybe... maybe I judged the situation too harshly...

[deaddy]

[SHE IS THE CUTEST ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!111]

Haha! Well, I wouldn't go that far! There's a lot suspicious about this whole arrangement.

But I won't object to this particular perk.

[heart_wrenching]

Oh, I promise I won't really get even a little less suspicious. But anyway the other one you wanted to ask me about . . . ?


[ Still. She will just. Tuck this away. This is Winry's now forever. The assigned housing could use a lot by way of personal touches, but well-documented fattyfat baby fingers ain't a bad start. ]

[deaddy]

This one.

[He indicates the part of the paper involving psychic shenanigans AKA "Telepathy" and such.]

Honestly, I just hope to use that one in the event of emergencies.

[heart_wrenching]

Ah! So- you could know how everyone is, even when we're separate?

[deaddy]

That's part of it.

The other part is being able to communicate with them, too. Mentally.

Could be even more than that, but I wouldn't want to push it unless, like I said, an emergency.

[heart_wrenching]

I see . . .


[ Pokin through the rest of this cool cool. ]


Of course you have my permission, Mr Hughes. There's all kinds of misfortune could be avoided if everyone just had the right info.
