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.
Cyril Thackary | OC
[Florida, it had to be Florida. Of all the blasted cities in the United States of America he had to end up in Florida. Cy's head hurt enough from the transport here but once topside it's ten times worse. The sun beating down on him makes him feel weak and it hurts his eyes even though he's wearing sunglasses.]
How the hell is the sun worse here than anywhere else? [He's not really asking anyone this as he brings his unread file up to shield his face from the sun.]
2 (sorta)
[The one good thing about Florida is the beach. A shame it's kind of painful to go to the bead during the day for this vampire. Instead he's out at night, walking barefoot along the surf. The water is cleaner here and so much more beautiful than back home. On top of that he doesn't have to worry about some sea monster trying to eat him for getting too close to the water.
A moonlite stroll on the beach might be relatively normal for a couple during the early evening but this is one lone guy wandering along at 3am. A cigarette hangs from his mouth as he walks.]

Hey. [He's away Cyril hasn't actually been talking to him or anyone, but, hey, he just got here and he know no one. Any normal conversation is welcome, even if it's about the weather.] I'm Chad.
no subject
Hey. Cyril. This almost makes me wonder if this is what hell feels like. [Only he's actually been to a hell dimension and it's much worse.]
