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.
I saw nothing
[Ow, punched! Okay, not ow, because even with super strength, Eli knows how to pull his punches. But Billy is grinning back.]
That's why I don't wear the cape in public anymore. Do you want something a little less photogenic?
[It's just a single spell away, after all.]
/head in hands
[He looks down at his suit. It's actually not as flashy as some things other people wear, but it does get a lot of attention.]
What did you have in mind?
no subject
Well, the jeans are rolled up at the cuff and they are cut to be a bit...fiftyish.]
Like that?
no subject
You didn't do... you know [a vague movement with his hand] the 'I want this' thing.
no subject
Well, I mean.
It's just clothes?
[QUIET FOR A MOMENT]
Dude we haven't seen you in forever.
[Changing the subject, let's do that.]
no subject
Aren't you exaggerating a bit there? I just saw you- all of you. [Which, considering the Patriot outfit, shouldn't be a surprise.] Before I woke up here, I mean.
no subject
Ohhh no.]
What's the last thing you remember?
no subject
The spell. The spell to give all mutants their powers back, even if they might not actually want them back.
no subject
Oh.
Well.
It's been a...year...or two....
