we're all reponsible here


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.

[ A few blocks down, Lydia's leaving her usual cafe. She jerks to a stop as she spots Trubel running up the street like a bat out of hell. As she begins to slow down, Lydia glances behind her, moving into her path. ]

Whoever it is you're running from? You can probably stop now. I think they gave up.

[Trubel doesn't really want to stop, wants to get out of the open, find somewhere quieter to collect herself and figure out her next move. But the girl gets in her way, and she follows her gaze to look behind her, not that she'd really been running from anyone in particular - but it's maybe surprising no one had followed her.

Not that the knowledge seems to calm her down much.]


Where is this place?

[In lieu of any kind of thanks or explanation. The girl was there and already talking to her, she might as well get some information.]

Heropa.

[ It takes her a moment more to notice the tattoo and realize that perhaps that isn’t explanation enough. An imPort who’s this confused? What, did she skip the welcome wagon? Realization strikes and Lydia gives all the visual cues of ‘ahh’ without saying anything, shutting her eyes and nodding her understanding with pursed lips a moment later. Bless her heart. ]

We’re in Florida, but probably in a different universe than yours. What’s your name?

Trubel.

[It's answered almost automatically while her brain catches up with the rest of what Lydia just said, because none of those pieces actually make any damn sense.

It's also pronounced 'trouble'. No, really.]


What the hell do you mean, different universe?

What the hell do you mean Trouble? God, are you auditioning for some sleazy rock band?

[ Literally the dumbest thing she's ever heard, and she hangs out with Scott, Stiles, and Kira. Chew that over. ]
