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.

And it seems this man had been looking after her.]
Thank you, for taking her back. Were you hurt in the fall?
[She feels really bad about that now. Maybe she shouldn't have sent a giant snowman monster after them.]
no subject
At the question, he snorts lightly, as if it was a silly question to ask, but... It's not, really. Falling off of a cliff will usually kill you. ]
Nah. There was enough powder at the bottom to cushion our fall. It was fine.
[ So... Thanks for that, Elsa. At least there was that. He pauses, looking over at her a little doubtfully, trying to gauge whether he should mention Anna's heart issue, whether he should advise her one way or another on her interactions with her sister. Anna seemed fine now, but what if something like that happened again? ]
She... You should be careful, when you see her again.
no subject
Dread fills Elsa's heart, and suddenly she knows that something happened, even if she doesn't know what. She remembers that night, all those years ago, when she accidentally hit Anna in the head, and she feels like everything's about to spin out of control, all over again.
The snowflakes are back, but Elsa looks resolute.]
It's alright. I won't see her. [A pause. She rubs her hands together.] It would be best if she didn't know I was here.
no subject
Yeah, because avoiding her worked so well the first time.
[ He tries to balance himself between being firm and gentle, here. Sure, she's afraid. She doesn't seem to understand the extent of what she's done, but he's sure she'd be sorry. Beyond sorry. Still... She hurt Anna. Beyond freezing her heart, even, by shutting herself away. That hurt Anna, too. ]
You need to find a new way. Family is important. You shouldn't keep yourself from her.
no subject
She shakes her head.]
Anna will find her family. She's... [She smiles wistfully.] She's beautiful, and full of life. She'll do fine.
[Her smile falls.] We're better apart. Just believe me.
[And because the flurries are getting worse, and because she doesn't want to have this conversation anymore, she starts to move forward, trying to pass Kristoff to get to the opening of the alley.]
Now, if you'll excuse me, I should... find somewhere to go.
no subject
[ Kristoff's certainly not going to impede her path out. He steps aside, brow furrowed and a small frown in place. He wishes that he could explain where she's right and where she's wrong, that he could somehow smooth all of this over. Anna is easy to love, and she does have a new beginning thing going on, but... She's also stubborn. It's not like she'll let Elsa go that easily. She wouldn't have gone into the mountain otherwise.
But he probably can't convince the queen of that. He probably can't do anything, because that's just how things have been shaping up lately. ]
Just... Uh. I'm Kristoff. If you need anything, you can come and find me.
no subject
Kristoff. Thank you.
[But that's not going to stop her from getting out of here now, a thin layer of ice trailing her steps, unbidden.
Time to find somewhere else to hide.]
