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!

[Of course when Yuu blocks his Helm Split attack, he jumps backwards and then lunges forward again to try attacking him front the front this time. He's determined to catch the other off guard and make him fall at the very least. That way he knows he can win while also proving he's the better fight between them.]

[dejerate]

[There's something to be said for the four years he spent training with Guren even prior to taking and passing his test to obtain Ashuramaru. Even if Yuu himself is hot-headed and impulsive, he is a skilled swordsman, a skilled fighter. He had to be, to come out of those years of training without so many beatings.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean he's perfect. Even Yuu slips up, or sometimes isn't quite fast enough. It's almost instinct, as he then moves to block when Replica charges forward at him, but doesn't quite entirely block, getting pushed back and down a bit more.]

[darkimitation]

So much for your big talk, wimp. Looks like I'm going to win.

[He keeps going at it with Yuu, the determination to see this guy get beaten down burning in his eyes. He's not even backing down for a moment, his movements both rapid and wild. He might even be trying to find any open spots so he can give Yuu a few bruises or cuts along the way too.]

[dejerate]

Hey. Don't count me out just yet.....

[Yuu takes a few hits, but does block some. One of which, he uses the chance to attempt to strike back, attempting to push the Replica back and give him more room to consider the situation. A chance to get his breath and ask Ashuramaru for more power.

Then he himself is back at it, faster than before, stronger, striking harder as he swings Ashuramaru to try hit the Replica's side.]

[darkimitation]

[Of course he takes a beating from Yuu, even getting hit in the side as he stumbles backwards. His eyes now burning with a desire to kill. Yuu was going to pay for what he did as the Replica charges again, even more wild than before.]
