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.

[He's not enjoying the attention. Before Kieren had the chance to pull his hood up, a few locals caught the sight of his pale skin and prinprick eyes and swarmed in like he were some sort of novelty. He's bolted now, heading out towards the shops. The beach will be too busy, he decides. He's not dressed for it, either. It had been winter, back home; barely in the middle of December. When he glances up at the sky, he sees the blue and misses being able to feel the heat. He probably looks a bizarre sight, dressed in his boots, over-sized jumper and hoodie.

He finds a bench, sits himself on it and drags his hands down his face. He shuts his eyes tight, counts to ten and when he opens them again, he's still in Florida. It's sobering, being completely out of his depth. All the time he's spent trying to get out of Roarton and now he's here, just as he'd been coming to terms with staying. Simon would get a laugh out of this, he's sure.

He sits with his head in his hands for a long time; stuffed in his pocket is his medication gun and bottle of Neurotriptilyne. He's still not had his dose; he wonders how he's going to get his dose now that he's here and not in his living room. That's the first thing, then - find a quiet corner and try to do this himself. Failing that, find someone who looks like they won't freak out if he asks them to give him a hand. A shaking, weary sigh escapes his mouth as he stands. Time to find somewhere with a toilet, then.

He tugs down his hood, glances around and reaches out to the first stranger he sees. ]

Err - excuse me. You wouldn't happen to know anywhere with a bathroom, would you?

[Mabel stops when he addresses her, cocking her head to the side and exchanging a glace with one of the piglets trailing behind her. She's gotten involved with tall dark hoodied teenagers before-- it never ends well. But this guy looks relatively normal (or, at least, he's not a stack of gnomes) and she's a hero now! She can handle anything, plus you have to be nice to all citizens. So she smiles and nods at him, pointing towards a line of shops and restaurants nearby.]

I think those restaurants over there have open bathrooms! Are you feeling okay? You look stressed, which is not something people usually are on the beach.

[He's more aware of it now that she's pointed it out. His hands are balled tight at his sides and he forces himself to relax; to smile. She's just a kid, after all. No danger here. He has the brains to look embarrassed. He's already way over-dressed for the beach and he's got a face like thunder to match. He's surprised she hasn't run the other way.

Tentatively he glances towards where she's pointing. ]

Thank you. I'm fine, just - wasn't expecting to be at the beach. Or for it to be summer.

[He pauses. Glances at her, then away. ] It was barely five degrees at home.

[glitterateur]

Five degrees? Where are you from, Canada? [Mabel Pines: not good at geography or accents.]

No wonder you look uncomfortable! At least it was summer where I left so I was prepared. [She hops up on the bench to sit next to him. She decides he must just be shy and awkward, with eye contact issues.] Unless you have ice powers, you should change. And hydrate! Heat exhaustion is serious business, you know.
