Lies a place that few have seen.
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 there's only one rule in Test Drive Meme Club: 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, while others might not say anything -- but if you have something nasty to say, better not say anything at all, right? This month has been a rocky one, and locals are beginning to eye imPorts with renewed scrutiny; if people like them can get superpowers, are imPorts really that special, after all? Some people usher their children away from anyone clearly not 'from around here,' while other natives may be brave enough to directly approach obvious imPorts and ask their thoughts on the war with Russia and what the imPort ambassadors are planning to do about it.
ImPorts are a divisive issues, even in pretty Heropa.
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 very presence. Look at you! Organic wonder! 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. The imPort craze is at an all-time high, and you may find yourself cornered by overzealous imPort fans, media wannabes and opportunists alike, shoving cameras in your face.
Their questions are likely to be fairly mundane, however; get ready for an interview about your taste in romantic partners, personal underwear choices, favourite foods, and more!
Also, as the Halloween craze is reaching a fevered pitched, more and more children are running around in costumes of their favorite imPorts! Do you recognize any of these masks? Perhaps one of these costumes mimics YOU!?
...
Isn't that kinda creepy?
03. Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania is populated by a whole lot of people who are having awfully bad days. With the emergence of locals with superpowers, many seem to have latched onto their new supercharged identities with an incredible amount of gusto. As your character walks down the street, they may find themselves accosted by a large man in his mid-20s, dressed in an ill-fitting spandex suit of orange and yellow. As he thrusts his finger into an imPort's face, the spandex rides up, turning into more of a crop-top, which he duly tugs back down before shouting, "You're not the special ones anymore, imPorts! Feel the wrath of Heartburn!"
Stupid name aside, he does seem to have superpowers as he breathes a large plume of fire. His aim still isn't great, though; it could hit the imPort in question, or be sent in the direction of a nearby local, or even a particularly flammable building.
What will you do, Hero?
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. This fine day, pumpkin spice seems to be in style, to the point at which you happen to be crashing an open pumpkin spice festival. From drinks to sweet treats to some other things that really, really shouldn't be pumpkin spice flavoured (pumpkin spice flavoured vodka, anyone? It tastes like regret!), everyone seems to be in the mood for the upcoming season.
Taste test a few samples and take in the hustle and bustle of the city, everyone! And hey, if just gorging yourself isn't enough, why not try your hand at the pumpkin carving contest going on? The competition is fierce!
de chima
I guess, but none of them can get my hair right.
[ And most of them are wearing his outfit from his press photos on the way to the diplomat meeting in South Korea, which are 100% more shirted than he usually is. ]
no subject
[ At least Micchy can rest easy knowing he didn't give himself away to a less than friendly native of this world with his question. It more than cancels out the small downside that he'll probably get a less accurate opinion from a fellow imPort.
He glances at the kids, but isn't able to place one that looks like they're trying to dress up as the guy next to him.
He hums thoughtfully to himself before looking back at Jinseok. ]
If they're dressing up as you then that must mean the people here really do see imPorts as heroes... is that right?
no subject
[ He hired a billboard once, but that was a couple haircuts ago, back during the time he was still alive. He looks a little different now. Probably about time to get a new one.
It doesn't look like he's going to be helpful though. ]
no subject
I'm sorry, I'm still new. You're really an imPort ambassador?
no subject
[ So says he about himself, anyway. He doesn't seem to take any notice of Micchy's uneasiness towards him, or actively ignores it if he does. He's much more interested in talking up his own ego. ]
no subject
He's going to keep trying though. ]
Mm... But if you don't mind me asking what is the job of an imPort ambassador exactly? Do you act as a liaison between the imPorts and the people of this world, or are you more involved with government employees?
no subject
[ It's a wonder why anyone listens to this idiot when he's so far up his own ass. Small miracles for him that he's amazing with his words. ]
They also use me to relay information, because I am very handsome.
no subject
Then you get information first, but it's still information that all other imPorts will eventually know?
[ Not as useful as he could be. Then again, Micchy kind of doubts the government would really be handing out big secrets to a guy like this. Though Jinseok certainly does seem to have a pretty inflated opinion of himself. ]
