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.

[Considering Kaldur had not been expecting Robin either he almost didn't realize it was Robin weaving his way through the crowd towards him. At least, not until he hears his name and looks down. There's a smile there, one that is much more sincere than the one he'd been giving the pushy crowd and their cameras. It's also a smile of relief. Oh, sure, Kaldur could handle something like this on his own, but if he had to CHOOSE it would certainly be nice to have some familiar faces for this.]

Thank you.

[He whispers as he follows Robin past the crowd. Once they're a little out of ear shot he asks]

Is the rest of the team nearby?

[Might as well check on status of everyone else first.]

[performance]

Don't mention it.

[ If Robin had to pick one teammate to show up here, it would have been Kaldur, hands-down. Not just because he felt like the burden of too much responsibility fell to him without Aqualad around (a matter he hadn't exactly consulted Wally about), but... well. It's a relief, anyway. ]

[ He winces a little at the question. ]

Just KF. Aaand I'm guessing that means the cavalry hasn't exactly arrived.

[That's funny because if Kaldur was going to pick one team member to be stuck here with then Robin would be his pick too. The boys work well together after all and there's something to be said for Robin's training and smarts. This sort of situation calls for that.

That being said, he is a little disappointed the rest of the team is not here, at least at first. Then he thinks again and realizes it would be very bad if the whole team was here and not home. Someone needed to be back home figuring out where they were. Right?

There is little reaction from the news except for a nod of acceptance.]

Not exactly. However there may be something to be said about the original team being back together?

[It's sort of a joke to lighten the mood. Kaldur wonders if KF is nearby and is already scanning the crowd for a speedster loaded down with food.]
