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.
if i get accepted i totes want to consider this canon :T!!
He takes a moment to yank the page off its staple (away from some of the more personal information) and hands it over easily. Again- powers aren't rare here, and his are nothing that the other man hadn't already seen, or couldn't be easily identified.
"...It says I should be able to like-- un-rot the thing, but like hell I know how to do that." Another prod at the overtly-sweet-scented fruit withered and mushed on the table-- and he's sure able to make it deteriorate more with those light prods, but it sure doesn't seem to be getting any better.
But the comment about the guy's teammate (And the word there, implying Inumuta had allies, or perhaps friends--) causes a short, rough, and not entirely earnest laugh. "What, he can shrink?"
yesss
"Un-rot things..." Inumuta says quietly, more to himself than anything. To rot and unrot. Maybe, then, to heal, actually? He's met those who could heal before. The smell of the fruit is kind of making him sick though. What an awful power.
Shinjiro's laugh shakes him from his thoughts though, and he looks up again from the file. "Yes. Ah... don't let him know I told you. He's sensitive about it." Bet you thought Inumuta was just an info nerd?! He's also kind of a gossip. Whoops. Maybe now is a good time to change subjects... "Perhaps your ability is mood based." As it was with Gamagori. "You're not happy here or right now, so you can only use the 'rot' function. But maybe if you were in a better mood, you could use the 'heal' function."
no subject
Not only because he's a miserable, self-depreciating person, but also because this situation is shitty.
He finally bats the shriveled and useless fruit away, instead folding his forearms on the top of the table again. "What about you? What power'd you get here?"
no subject
