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.

[ She, was it? But she didn't seem surprised to see him -- unlike the other two.

Just what was happening? ]

No, Shepard's not here. [ Best to remain neutral, wasn't it? ]

We can talk about this, instead of causing mayhem on military property, where we might cause a disaster. You don't want to blow up the one place that could take us home, right? [ Even so, he was more like a coiled spring, something ready to strike, even if he wasn't as powerful a biotic as Jack was -- and he'd heard about what she could do -- what her students could do, and wouldn't that be a sight? His students versus hers. ]

Seriously, there's no harm in at least giving some of us a chance to talk, is there?

[Jack is about to snap about how blowing shit up is exactly what she wants to do, but the part about being taken home is enough to make her pay attention. She doesn't relax, but she her biotics ease up.]

I'm listening. Better make it quick. [Because she has things to smash and soldiers to kill, tyvm.]

[biotically]

Yeah, yeah. Obviously you have more important things to blow up.

[ But he got her to skid to a halt, didn't he? It was almost...surprising, honestly. He'd never thought he had it in him, a year or so ago, but he was starting to realize he did. Or he'd started to realize it. ]

Look, if you keep raising hell, you could end up blowing up our one shot home. I don't know where they keep their "porter", but they say they don't have any control of it, and I don't think any of us want to be trapped here when there are more important things to do.

[ A beat. ]

Like taking care of the Reapers.
