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.

Comments

[castellano]

[ A confused... furrow of the brow. ] Uh - I think you and I have different definitions. My brother Richie likes other men. He's gay. Not that you can't want your sister to want other, other women. She can like who she likes.

[dragoonreborn]

Oh...! Well, that's that, isn't it? I suppose by that definition I have many gay friends.

[Sweetly:] You like women, don't you Danny?

[castellano]

... Yeah, I do.

[ Is the lady with the cat ears trying to romance him? ]

[dragoonreborn]

[Pel flicks her ears in a manner that seems pleased.]

We should get a drink sometime.

[Yes, she pretty much does this to everyone.]

[castellano]

Oh. I'm not in ... any place to have a, a relationship right now. Or, date. I don't really go out on dates. I ended it with someone. Right before coming here, but thanks.

not here

[upstages]

[ wait, is he talking about her or someone else?

better not be some gorgeous skank. ]

not here

[castellano]

[ peter's sister, actually. so - yeah, gorgeous skank fits ]

[dragoonreborn]

[Pel tsks, shaking her head a little. This one is so adorably awkward. It does make her want to tease him a bit.]

I said a drink, not a relationship. I am not looking for one of those either. But I do like handsome men. And drinks.

So perhaps some time we might be at the same tavern, simply by coincidence, and I might buy you a drink and we might speak for some time, about your brother and my sister, or Halloween, or anything at all, really. I hope we might.

[castellano]

Yeah, perhaps.

[ Maybe. Like Kevin Garnet, anything is possible??? How does he phrase, will you bring the cat ears with you to drinks nicely? ]

[dragoonreborn]

Don't look so scared, Danny. I only bite on special occasions.

[And she ends the message with a smile, being sure to show her sharp canines.

The ears and the tail and the yellow eyes and gray skin are part of a whole package. They never come off.]
