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.

[Steve has no idea who the hell the person taking a picture of him in a dumpster is. In fact, he isn't even aware of the picture taking that's going on.

Right now, he's too busy trying not to groan in pain and attempting to pull himself out to reassure the two kids screaming 'oh god he's dead' and 'what do will do, what do we do?'.]

[don't worry, Steve. he heads over soon enough, tucking his phone away somewhere into one of the many pockets of his tacky jacket. he hops over some rubble, ignores the wails of the screaming children, and offers him a dark-nailed hand up.]

A little bit of a spill, hm?

[he's decked out completely, complete with horned tiara.]

[Steve takes the offered hair, not really looking at Loki just yet. He's too busy making sure all body parts are still functioning before turning to reassure the kids with 'no, he's not dead, it looked worse than it feels, he'll be fine in a few hours, watch out for cars next time you're out in the streets, okay'.]

Just a bit. Thanks.

[he lets Steve get his bearings together, pacifying the children checking himself while Loki seems to hold a mild interest about the whole thing.]

You'd think with the flying hover cars of mortal technology would have safeguards in place for such occasions.

[he lets the words drop casually, his fingers gliding over the screen of his phone. (he might be sending the picture to someone before he discreetly tucks it away again.)]

[whatsfondue]

I doubt anyone being chased by the police is too concerned with safeguards.

[Steve finally sends the children off before turning to get his first good look at Loki, which results in puzzled frown on his face.]

You look...familiar.

[there's a hint of a smile at that, but it's more ironic then it is welcoming. Loki tucks his phone away again (it's debatable how long he'll be able to keep his hands off of it.)]

The horns always tend to give me away. I'll give you three guesses.
