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 could have handled it. [Maybe. Probably. He's pretty sure no one would have gotten hurt but himself anyway, and he thinks that's not too bad.]

Who are you anyway?

[powerkicks]

I've got no problem stepping back next time you want to do something stupid.

[ they've never formally met — the patrinot definitely doesn't count — so in a way, america can't blame him for being wary. but she did still save him from being hit head on, which had to hurt, powers or no powers and she's equally dry in response. ]

America Chavez.

[truestpatriot]

Patriot. I kind of just landed here. [Because not giving his name (or one of his names anyway) after she's given his feels wrong and bad manners even to him.]

And the kids are safe, so... thank you for that I guess. [Not for saving him because she did not.]

[powerkicks]

[ good thing america won't let it slip that she kind of already knows both of his names via young avengers osmosis. but she does finally give him a half-smile since yeah, saving the kids was pretty damn good. ]

We've all got a job to do.

[truestpatriot]

And yours is this? [He motions- to the kids, to the cars. To all of it, because if she's part of the world she'll understand.]

The hero gig?

[powerkicks]

Not this, exactly. [ because everything here was as new to her as it was apparently to him. ]

But I've helped a few worlds here and there.
