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.

it isn't long before she's given up on that and instead turns to the person closest to her. ]
Hey — [ basically flagging them down until she has their attention at which point she'll probably jog up to them with a grin. ]
So I'm not sure if I've, like, wandered onto some movie set or if I'm, like, hallucinating — [ she pauses, pursing her lips in thought because it could've been a distinct possibility. then again: ] — although I haven't really had the chance to hit up the good stuff today because you know, hello, job interview, and anyways, any time I do Abbi's always sort of with me—
[ which you know, weird tattoos and stuff about superpowers aside, was the weirdest thing. she hadn't seen abbi around at all. ]
So, I guess what I'm asking is, have you seen a brown haired woman about [ she raises her hand above her head, adjusting the height a few times until she's satisfied ] yay high and an amazing ass around here?

Do you normally bombard complete strangers with questions?
[ Her lip curls - not a sneer - but something bordering very close to it. Medusa hadn't lived through all that she had for this, and certainly not when she had other - more important priorities - than dealing with this. ]
no subject
D'you know your hair's like— [ she raises a hand, pointing not so subtly at the way the other woman's hair is twisting about. then again, she did just see a hovering ice cream truck go by, so maybe whatever kind of extension's this woman is wearing is not the strangest thing about this place. ] —never mind.
[ ilana lets out a huff instead, placing her hands on her hips, because really? she's young and cute and totally entitled to feel... well, entitled when talking to someone. also, it's a matter of abbi. ]
Dude, I am trying to find my best friend and you are being super unhelpful right now.
