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.

[Snow...it wasn't that Ryan wasn't used to snow. Sometimes it snowed in Albuquerque, but it really was pretty rare. There was also the fact that the last thing he recalls from home was that it was the middle of summer and now he's in Florida and does it even snow in Florida?

It doesn't matter. Curiosity is one of Ryan's greatest traits (or flaws, depending on how you look at it) and so despite the fact there's so much to see and do and look at to figure out what's going on, he's following the path of snow and ice that leads to the alley and it's there he finds Elsa. He's not sure what to make of all of this, but he's definitely watching her closely.]

If you really want to control it, try finding your center.

[handwringing]

My center?

[What exactly does that mean? She takes a few deep breaths, but it's not really helping. The ice keeps creeping along the alley.]

Just stay back. Please. It'll stop in time.

[Right. Okay. How does one explain a center and the core and the flow of energy to find a sense of inner peace when it barely sounds like it makes sense to him? He just leans back against the other side of the alley across from her, folding his arms over his chest.]

Deeper breaths. [He's not that easily startled, considering.] So wait, does this happen often or...?
