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!
( future ) trunks | dragon ball z/super
[ The closest thing Trunks has seen to the amount of flashes that have gone off around him for his picture are either Tien's solar flare or his father's final flash attack and even then, somehow, these seem to be a lot worse than either of those attacks. Eyes of blue blink after he rubs at his eyes with palms of his hands and he wonders for a second if it's possible to go blind from how bright those flashes are. Their questions are things he doesn't even really know how to answer, let alone why they want to know and he finds himself stumbling over his words before he feels a yank at his back where his sword is strapped. ]
Hey- wait! That's not a toy!
[ He doesn't mean to, but sparks of gold ignite around him and within the blink of an eye, he transforms into a Super Saiyan, causing the people surrounding him to gasp in surprise while others quickly snap pictures; he feels like an animal at the zoo with all of this attention and the stares. So he's quick to get himself out of there, making it look like he has the ability to teleport when, in reality, he's actually just really fast and appears behind the nearest building, catching his breath as he does so. ]
3. ( MAURTIA FALLS )
[ This isn't how he wants to start the day here.
He'd been minding his own business and taking in Maurtia Falls when this guy- Heartburn was it? decides to pick a bone with him for something that Trunks deems less than worth it. If it wasn't for the fact that this guy seems to be a little on the serious side, he might actually just brush him off as someone a little too eager to join the superhero brigade that's been going around. But he gets a sort of feeling from this guy and it causes him to furrow his brows at that finger pointed in his face. ]
Look, pal. I don't know what your issue is but it'd be better for the both of us if you just take a hike, got it?
[ Apparently he doesn't and he's shooting some stream of fire at him which, for Trunks, is more than easy enough to dodge. But it's the bystanders behind that Trunks worries for and, quickly, he grabs them out of the way with what almost seems like teleportation before he thrusts his hand out and pushes "Heartburn" away with nothing but force rather than an energy attack (because he's not about to blast the guy to pieces), sending him tumbling backwards and smacking his head into the nearest wall with being upside-down and all.
Talk about a close call.
Looking back to those he grabbed out of the way as well as others nearby, he smiles with a touch of concern. ]
Everyone ok?
4. ( NONAH )
[ So here's the thing. When you come from an apocalyptic future where pretty much everything and everyone you know has been destroyed and killed, Halloween and pumpkin spice festivals like this aren't really the norm. So it's really no surprise that Trunks is standing there with confusion written all over his face as he looks around at all the festivities that the pumpkin spice festival has to offer. There's food, drinks, games, pumpkins with glowing faces... oh, right, they're called jack-o-lanterns when they're done being carved. There's so much for him to see and he realizes that he must look out of place with his constant staring but he can't seem to help himself, not even knowing where to start first.
At the approach of someone offering him a sample of a pumpkin spice latte, Trunks stares to the person with a couple blinks of confusion before he even bothers to look at the small little sample cup sitting on the round tray. ]
Pumpkin- what?
[ Oh boy, already this is going smoothly. ]
5. ( WILDCARD )
( Feel free to do something/have him somewhere different. )
Nonah!!
So she's sitting nearby, hopped up on a stone ledge with her legs dangling, sipping at her own latte with gloved hands. ]
Do you not have pumpkins in your dimension? [ It's a sensible question. She'd believe it. ]
