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.

[ he was afraid of this, because he knew it was coming. and here he is, the message bearer. just having got here and one of the few familiar faces will probably be avoiding him while she sorts herself out.

but no, that's selfish thinking. laurie just found out she dies, she deserves that time. she deserves for him to let her go for now. ]

Laurie, I'm sorry.

[fridgeflower]

No, it's-- Well, it's not okay, but-- [ She can't keep to one thought or sentence, and she isn't sure what she's trying to convey. Maybe that she's not upset with the messenger, just the message, and she doesn't really know how anybody's supposed to react to that, but maybe she shouldn't be inside or around other people when she can't hold it in anymore. She lets out a little huff as she moves to stand. ]

I don't know. I just have to go somewhere. You can finish here, and... do whatever. I'll-- I'll call later.

[ david fights the urge to stand, the urge to follow after her. he ends up gripping the edge of the table again, bracing against it to keep himself in his seat. fighting himself between the two thoughts of "she needs space" and "she needs a friend". he ends up hanging his head, so he won't see her go. ]

Of course. It was... I'm glad I got to see you again.

[fridgeflower]

Yeah. [ She guesses she's glad, too. It hasn't been that long on her end, but he's glad to have somebody who's at least vaguely familiar. How familiar might have to be hashed out later, when she better has her mind around what's going on.

For now, she can only offer a little wave as she turns to leave the diner, not even able to manage a verbal goodbye. ]
