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.

Oh, yeah, and trust me, it beats the alternative. [Which is shockingly not homelessness, but she's not going to clarify.] We've had to settle in, since it doesn't seem like we'll be heading anywhere anytime soon.

[truestpatriot]

[And since he assumes he alternative is, actually, being homeless he doesn't even ask.] Well, I guess that makes sense. But how long have you guys been here anyway?

There has to be a way out, if there's a way in. [Pointing out the obvious: might actually be a superpower. But it's just weird to think that his team might have spent that long in this place without him noticing- have they been along, all this time? Is there other people from their world around?]

[selfequipped]

Five months for me. [Sometimes the time feels like it's flown by, but there are aspects of it that make it feel longer. The fact that she doesn't have a choice of heading back to their New York is the biggest one. Running off to Los Angeles feels like an even worse idea with this additional time added on, and she knows she'll be going right back to that, possibly without any awareness that she'd been here in the first place.]

And there's a way out: the Porter. They just can't get it to cooperate. The other avenues can't even be explored, even by some big guns. I'm talking Stark, Pym, and more.
