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.

[01.]

You have twenty clicks to set me right or by the matrix I will slag each and every one of you with your own meaty little monkey parts-!

[Oh yeah, that sounds charming. The newest import- standing at a good six feet and that's without the heels she's in- is glowering down at her poor 'guide' with what can only be described as a predatory glare, her red eyes bright and almost glowing. Her threat delivered, she straightens from leaning over her ~~prey~~ guide and sets one hand on her hip, the other making a 'get on with it' motion.]

Well? Time's a-wasting, fleshbag!

[Someone really should calm her down.]

[04.]

I swear, you monkeys haven't gotten any smarter since the last time I had to rescue one of you.

[The words are hissed venomously at the child she's got hooked under one arm, the other holding her blaster pointed at the remains of the car's engine still, her foot slammed into its front bumper with little regard for the person driving- though it doesn't stop her from leveling a narrow, red-eyed glare at the criminal in question, the spiderlike legs on her back twitching with the sound of several guns cocking in unison.]

I'd rethink moving if I were you.

[She sets the kid down with a dismissive wave, striding around to the driver's side and leaning down into the window, fangs flashing.]

Now... let's you and me chat about how rude it is to scratch a girl's paint job after she's just gotten it back, shall we?

((ooc: feel free to do whatever though, I ain't picky.))

[ Fleshbag? Well, that's a...unique insult. Combine that with the rest of her unique terms and Dorian is plain confused. Honestly, this woman is making next to no sense. Dorian can't help but frown slightly, watching her as she glowers down at her guide.

However, the fact that she keeps using terms like 'fleshbag' and 'meaty little monkey parts' means that she probably won't put together the connection of Dorian Gray getting ported in here carrying a bigass (and really quite terrifying) portrait. Score. Covered portrait under his arm, Dorian walks over towards the massively tall woman, raising an eyebrow as she continues to interrogate the guard. ]

I highly doubt that he'll be of any use. After all, he's only hired help.
