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!

[Judith can not talk yet, not much more than babble or word or two at least, but she can tell things by showing! So when the girl with the bright hair comes up to her, she answers her with a glance upward and then a glance down at her lap where her hands tugged on her new colorful toy friend and held it up.

She has no idea what Breeze just said of course, but isn't her friend just amazing?] Ba doy? [Yes?]

[fayzedandconfused]

Wow, that's pretty cool.

[ Aww, she's cute. Breeze is not the most comfortable with tiny kids, but she's not terrible, either. Her little sisters were eight years younger than her, after all. ]

Does it have a name?

[cupandthangs]

Pew coo. [Hey, she recognizes that word and intimates it enthusiastically! Pretty cool, right?

Anyway, seeing Breeze look at her toy elephant-friend approvingly, she shakes it and bounces herself a little. Doing something of a baby dance!

And she recognizes what 'name' means partly too, so she babbles one more word to her:]

Fi-fi. [For friend.]

[fayzedandconfused]

[ This kid is so cute. Breeze wonders how someone this young ended up getting Ported in, or what kind of superpowers you even give to a baby. Maybe she's like Jack Jack from The Incredibles and can do a little bit of everything.

Breeze reaches into her back pocket and pulls out a candy bar. Can kids this young eat chocolate? It's time to find out. She breaks off a little piece and holds it in front of Judith. ]

Want some chocolate?

[cupandthangs]

[Likewise, Breeze is like the shiny big kid on the block. Judith looks at the chocolate offered to her in awe as if she hasn't seen anything like it before (truth is: she hasn't!), but takes it with her chubby little hands.

Besides it must be okay if someone as nice as Breeze is giving it to her, right?

She stares at it with wide and curious eyes for a while before shoving it into her month, puckering and smiling in comic surprise at how good it is even if it's a difficult to eat.]
