HE TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE DIDN'T LIKE MY KIND
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, deeply masculine 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!"
"That's just what Ronald Chump says!" Exclaims a young woman. She raises her fist in anger at the imPort-hating individual. "We're not going to tolerate bigots here!"
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. Science and technology are the lifeblood of this city, so you're likely to come across a good many locals taking your picture with the newest of devices. Be forewarned: since FanPort happened, imPort fandom is at a new height. Don't be surprised if people start following you just to see if you'll do anything TMZ-worthy.
The trick is to stay calm, and don't wig out if someone asks what you think about imPort shipping.
03. Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania, is having a rainy day. The streets seem to be running with water, the sky can't seem to stop crying. You might want to check out some consumerism-inclined shelter, be that a smoky and dart-eyed bar full of grumbling locals, or a grimy and industrial coffee shop (full of grumbling locals). Watch your step, newly minted imPort, because if you let on that you're fresh meat then you're likely to attract a posse of two or three sharp knuckled no-good-dooers. This is the criminally exciting part of town, so beware.
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. There's a baseball game going on in one of the parks amidst all those tall buildings, and you're welcome to watch! It's not an official game in the season, it's more like a friendly skirmish between local baseball teams. Midway through the game, the umpire might take note of you new imPorts -- assuming you're standing out in the crowd. He'll welcome you to throw a pitch if you'd like! Of course, the opposing team isn't too keen on the idea. Better look for more imPorts to play ball!
any city get ready to die james
Someone is here from his world.
He only passes by when he picks up the words Pokemon and Poke-strength-tester. Mewtwo is in his human disguise and he begins to edge his way into the crowd.
He's trying to keep a neutral face but this...this is disgusting. Of all the things to leak into his world this is the least he expected. But he'll show that worthless device who's strongest. He lifts his comm, showing his text.]
can I test it?
rip in pieces
James however is taken aback at this complete stranger seemingly speaking inside his head. He's heard that some people have psychic abilities but having this guy he didn't recognize just come up to him and out the gate proved to him to have psychic powers was unnerving to say the least.
Either way James instantly realizes that if he wants to steal this guy's Pokemon he has to be really careful.]
Uh sure. Just place your Pokeball on the machine.
[Wait no that isn't as careful as he wanted it to be.]
no subject
He doesn't need to hide for Jame's sake. This human, if they dare play games with his world he can play on his terms.
Mewtwo casts aside his disguise, his pressure exerting on the machine.]
< No Pokeball can hold me. >
no subject
W-what kind of Pokemon are you? Are you some kind of really powerful Ditto?
[That was honestly the only Pokemon he could think of that can transform so easily, but wow that new body was huge and intimidating and honestly James was really scared.]
no subject
< A Pokemon of your kind's creation. And you dare to mock Pokemon with that contraption. >
no subject
I-I'm not mocking you! I swear I wouldn't do anything to mock Pokemon!
[Stealing them is another matter altogether, but like heck is he going to just admit that he was trying to steal Pokemon right now.]
no subject
< Then what do you call this? Do you exploit my kind for your entertainment? >
no subject
[Oh gosh no he can't say he's stealing Pokemon he's sure he's going to get it if he does.
Gaining the strength to do so, he throws his Pokeball at Mewtwo.]
P-please protect me Weezing!
[And a Weezing pops out, he's not going to attack quite yet, since so far the only command was "protect me". But his gloomy look turns to a glare as he sizes up Mewtwo.]
no subject
[This Pokemon is ready to toss James like a ragdoll when sudden Weezing. It's an odd thing seeing Pokemon after being isolated from them for nearly a year.
He stares at the Pokemon, waving at them in an awkward gesture.]
< ...you dare use your Pokemon as a shield? >
no subject
[Keyword is "Yet".
Weezing meanwhile deliberately makes sure that he is protecting his trainer. He calls out to him and while James can't quite understand what he's saying, Mewtwo certainly can.]
< What do you want from him? >
no subject
< To answer for this disgrace. He kept you imprisoned, you should understand. >
no subject
James is a nice person. I don't want to leave him. >
no subject
< What about him is nice? >
