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 anyone's thread, either!

And remember to have fun!

01. Your memory is hazy and you might feel increasingly frustrated or anxious, or maybe you're excited as soldiers march past, barely glimpsing you. One second you're somewhere underground, the next you're enveloped in blue light, and suddenly you find yourself directly under Flordia sun's bright and burning glare. A female soldier steps toward you with a wide smile on her face and directs you to a car, ready to debrief you. You realize you are not the only one, surrounded by equally confused or eager faces... and you're all sporting a digital tattoo on your wrist.

02. Welcome to Cape Canaveral, where the smell of the ocean is in the air and locals are more than pleased to see new imPorts roaming their streets. They wave, they cheer, they ask for pictures as politely as they can. The more inhuman you look, or if you're wearing a costume, the more likely locals are to approach. Hey, enjoy the moment! The popular malt shop is offering you a free drink if you need it.

03. The technology in this world is certainly something. The cars are clearly modeled after popular 50s cars, but they hover several feet above the ground as they drive down the street. There are digital jukeboxes in restaurants, motorcycles also hover through traffic, advertisements can be seen on a digital projector on the taller buildings. Even kids on skateboards appear to drift a safe ten feet off the ground while playing!

04. Wherever you are, you can hear the loud revving of an engine, distance at first before you finally see it: a hovercar bursting around the corner, going beyond the maximum speed limit and just barely making its sharp turn. It doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon, not with two police cars trailing it... and uh oh. Those skateboarding kids don't have much time to get out of the way as the car comes speeding down the road. You've been brought here for a reason Hero — so you better act fast.

[The question was entirely facetious, don't worry.]

Pinkman. [She smirks.] That your codename, too?

[hostage]

That'd be kinda pointless, wouldn't it? Codename's Diesel.

[loveordeath]

Kinda pointless anyway, since you already told me your secret identity.

[your move, Diesel-man.]

[hostage]

What're you gonna do about it? You a supervillain?

[loveordeath]

[a light shrug. Another exhale of smoke.]

Could be.

[hostage]

[He snorts and leans in to whisper conspiratorially:]

Maybe I am, too.

[loveordeath]

[Apparently unfazed,] You don't look like a villain to me, Pinkman.

[But she'd happily take him down if he were one of the kind she's used to. Her nemesis was a cop anyway.]

[hostage]

[She's adorable. That makes him smile.]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[loveordeath]

[the cigarette dangles in her fingers, arm relaxed.]

Suit yourself.

[hostage]

So what's your power, little miss supervillain?

[loveordeath]

I can kill you with my mind.

[and she can lie like hell.]

[hostage]

Is that it?

[loveordeath]

Isn't that enough?

[hostage]

Just about everybody here could do that. I know this one girl who could make it so I never even existed.

[loveordeath]

[ah, well. she hopes that won't be true, otherwise she's in trouble.]

That's no fun. What's the point of that if there's no one around to know you're gone?
