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.

[defections]

I like it.

[And he does. It makes him wonder if he can find a similar position here. Maybe something that pays a little better than the SA's office, but god, no where is going to be as good as a defense attorney's pay.

But Cary isn't sure he's ready to go back to that.]

[glassinine]

[A little nod, and then a wry, joyless little half-smile.]

Half the country is still convinced it'll bring the entire system to its knees.

[Because: here's Edgeworth, talking about something else entirely.]

[defections]

[It takes him a moment to follow that particular line of reasoning-]

The law?

What system are we talking about?

[glassinine]

Hm - Oh, well - Yes.

[He adjusts his glasses.]

Of course the legal system. That's what they affect most closely, after all.

[defections]

How would this place function without it?

[Cary isn't sure how any civilization would function without some kind of legal code, morally in line with his own or not.]

[glassinine]

[Edgeworth's lips purse momentarily, and his eyes narrow very slightly, and he looks like he's about to ask a question - and then he shakes his head and instead goes with:]

Sorry. I meant to ask - In my home, we're about to implement juries. I was just wondering whether they are effective in your home.

[defections]

[That makes much more sense, in terms of questions.]

They get the job done. Most of the time, they do a good one. Sometimes you get juries that don't.

[He shrugs]

It's not a bad system to have.
