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.

[ Well, well, well this place is turning serendipitous as hell. The last thing he expects to see is his former partner outside of Stern Bild. The man looks ready to ask him something and Ryan is more than willing to soak up the surprise, or Barnaby's version of surprise anyway. Then the questions will flow, it's unavoidable, but Ryan is used to them. But then the moment passes and he starts walking off.

Wow. Harsh. ]


Hey, what's with the cold shoulder, Junior?

[ Not that he's so easily offended, but he sure's curious now. ]
attainment: (Well it looks like the road to heaven)

fine, but not as fine as u bb

[The question gives Barnaby pause, and he stops long enough to glance over his own shoulder with faintly furrowed eyebrows.]

I may have misheard you, but did you just call me "Junior"?

[ Pfft, what is this guy? He's like a broken record. Let's just speed past this review session, alright? ]

You're a long way from Stern Bild. Think it's a little late to have come to your sense, though, sorry. Already picked up a new contract.

[ He's joking, of course. He knows he wouldn't just leave his boyfriend, but hey! A man can dream can't he? Especially after how well they worked together... ]
attainment: (and a big fat place)

[Placing a hand on his hip, he turns to fully face this man, studying him with an intense gaze. That face looks a little familiar, but he can't quite place where he saw him. Maybe a poster somewhere, but...]

My apologies, but do I know you? I don't recall ever having met before.
