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.
Miss America Chavez | Marvel-616
[That engine isn't revving anymore, in fact, it's not making any other noise than a loud hiss thanks to America. That car also won't be going anywhere without a tow truck thanks to her. The front end is all smashed in from where she punched the vehicle and brought it to a stop.
The kids? Perfectly safe although a little frightened. And the police, well, they're a little slow but they've caught up by the time America marches around to the door of the car to tear it off and drag the driver out of the front seat.]
The hell you thinking, driving like that? You could've killed someone. [The driver looks frightened enough to piss his pants as she hold him up by his collar.
Once the police arrive and make their way to America she shoves the guy at them and dusts her hands off.
Wait, how did a news crew get here so fast? Fuuuuuck this. America's out. Literally, she jumps to the nearest roof and gets ready to kick a portal to somewhere other than here.]
[Other]
[She might seem a bit out of place in her red, white, and blue get up on a park bench with an ice cream cone in hand but there she is. She's just chilling and watching people as they pass by while enjoying some ice cream.
She might be stuck here playing hero for these people but even heroes need a little down time, which is what this is. Unless something pops up and she feels the need to deal with it.]
no subject
he holds his hot dog in one hand and has not yet chosen whether to sit or not. so instead he'll stand. ]
I think the only thing that would make this weirder is if you were feeding pigeons. [ not that there are many pigeons in heropa. ]
no subject
She looks from her ice cream cone to David.]
You see nothing. Tell anyone and you won't talk again for a long time, let alone be able to eat that hotdog. [Is she joking? Who knows with her. But the grin she flashes after a moment is a good give away, right?]
So, just gonna stand there all day?
no subject
[ but he sits down instead and no scarfing happens. he does look at his hot dog a moment before turning his attention to her. ] I know none of us really went for the double life game, but you've always made it seem like heroing is your whole life. Is this what you do with the off time?
no subject
Sit on park benches and people watch? Sometimes. I did a lot of dimension hopping but that's not really an option here. [She's stuck and she hates it but she's trying to make the best of it.]
no subject
no subject
At least alternate versions of ourselves don't exist in this universe.

With its help, she notices America fly up there, and she lowers her phone to watch America try to kick through, which leads her to standing up.]
Hey—hold on, the only thing you'll end up doing is some jazzercize with that. [Which sounds like something Loki would say.
She deliberates over it.
No, she'd say it, too.]
no subject
She doesn't look surprised to see her as she lowers her foot and lightly crosses her arms. A little smirk appears on her lips after a quick twitch of annoyance. She doesn't like being reminded that her portals no longer lead to other dimensions but at least they still work.]
Let me show you a thing, Princess. [She uncrosses her arms and draws back her foot again to kick through the glowing star. When it shatters a nearby park can be seen. Far enough away from all the commotion that she won't be bothered but still in this dimension.]
None of that jazzercizing here.
no subject
Are we going to the park? Because there might be a jazzercise class there. [There's a beat.] You could be wrong.
no subject
What's this sudden preoccupation with a ridiculous form of exercise? [That's what is right? Some kind of exercise. She's pretty sure it is. Either way, it sounds dumb.]
Guess there's only one way to find out. [She holds a hand out toward the portal.] After you, Princess.
no subject
So are you, like, Flag Girl? [ He just assumes she's from the US. That also makes it easier to come up to her, like Kevin's hoping he might find someone from a world similar to his own. ]
no subject
The hell kind of superhero name is that? [Never mind the fact that she's gone by the handle USA in the past.]
no subject
A bad one, which is why I was asking what yours might be. If you have one.
[ Kevin doesn't have one yet. He could probably make some kind of pun about languages, or maybe something about being a ghost but not being a ghost, but he hasn't had the mental capacity to do any of that yet. ]

no subject
Tell me you're buying.
no subject
Hell, chico, you been here longer. You should be the one buying. [She gives him her patented "you mad" look.]
no subject
I don't even carry enough coin for myself these days.
[giant lie number one spotted.]
I'll settle with you. How about sharing?
no subject
[She snorts, defiantly taking a bite out of her ice cream (and immediately regretting it but not letting that show).] How about no?
no subject
[he comes to sit beside her, a little wary, but not without a little fondness that he definitely wishes wasn't there.]
Though I've been wondering when you'd show up. I suppose the pin-points of the Porter couldn't keep up with all your high dimensional dance steps.
no subject
What can I say? I difficult girl to catch.
no subject
America.
[He just sits right down. They could totally be spies, if it weren't for her red white and blue and his Kree uniform.]
no subject
Marvel Boy. [Just because.]
