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!

You're an odd one all right. Do you do this with everyone you meet?
no subject
Only when I'm in a particularly good mood, maybe!
[Yes, let's all forget that she was just annoyed with him a few moments ago.]
no subject
Riiight. Don't touch me again either like that, I don't want to get whatever is wrong with you.
1/2
[Wait. What just happened? What did he just say?]
no subject
Excuse me! I have no such thing! I am perfectly fine, thank you very much! If anyone has an issue, it's you! You're the one with the screwed up mentality around here, but you don't see me worrying about something as stupid as you contaminating me or anything! What are you? 8?
no subject
I'm fifteen, idiot. Also yes, you're too nice for your own good. It's like something is seriously wrong with you. I'd rather not get that thank you very much.
1/2
[As for the rest, she'll just stare at him.]
It almost sounds like you're complimenting me. Maybe if I pay enough attention, I can kind of make out what you're actually saying: [And she'll be copying his voice over here or imitating it as best as she can.] "Go away before your kindness affects my lonely heart". Or better yet! "Get away from me, Nike-sama! Get away before my bad influence affects you too!"

I don't have a baby face, so shut up. I'm not complimenting you either, so don't twist my words. Unless your brain is so small that it can only focus on your stupid narrow thoughts.
no subject
Yes, you do! Even more so whenever you get mad and tell people to be quiet. You look even younger now!
[She's going to ignore the rest of his insults because, at this point, it feels good to get a rise out of him. How does it feel for the shoe to go on the other foot, huh?]
no subject
I'm done playing games with you. You've annoyed me long enough.
no subject
It seems as though I might have hurt your feelings with that comment. If I did, sorry. I was only speaking my mind.
[However, her gaze will turn stern.]
Even so, your over reaction isn't correct neither. Threatening to harm someone only due to hurt feelings isn't right. You should have walked away if it were the case! Do you always react like this to whoever annoys you?
no subject
I don't care if you're sorry or what you think. I'm not overreacting either, so shut up. Maybe if you hadn't pissed me off, I wouldn't have considered pointing my sword at you.
