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.

[Of course...]

It's...complicated.

All I'm saying is-

[Okay.]

I'm from the future.

[housenurse]

... Ohhhh. I understand.

[Not really.]

What's the future like? Are we ruled by apes yet? [BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN, RIGHT?]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[DAMMIT HE HOPED YOU WERE THE SMART ONE.]

...uh, no-

Look, I think it's important you just-

[...]

What's the last thing you remember before coming here?

[housenurse]

[No, that's just it. She is.]

Well, I was making lunch for Mako and Ryuuko-chan, so they would be full of energy when Ryuuko-chan went to go fight the Elite... Four... And... You're...

[Oh. Ohhhh dear. Just... slowly backing away...]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[The naturals election, maybe? That would make the most sense, but-oh.

Oh that's not a good reaction.]

W-wait! I know what you're thinking, but it's not like that anymore! We're all friends now!

[okay """friends""", he wouldn't personally call Ryuko or Mako friends but. They're not enemies, so.]

[housenurse]

How can you be friends with Ryuuko-chan if you were all trying to hurt her! You could've killed her!

[Wow, the terror to anger switch was fast.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[If there's one thing he has learned in life, it's that women are terrifying.]

L...look, the future is really complicated. Even more complicated than the explanation I tried giving a second ago.

It'd be a lot easier if you could just believe me.

[A+ attempt at convincing her there Uzu.]

[housenurse]

... I'll believe Mako and Ryuuko-chan, when I see them. If they tell me the same story.

[And he'll just have to take that.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

I suppose that's the most I can ask for.

[Especially considering he's the E4 member who came the closest to killing her.]

...do you still want me to show you the way?

[housenurse]

[She pauses, considers this... And then gives a tight nod. She's still not sure how to feel about all this, but she wouldn't even know where her girls were without him. So, she'll just have to trust him.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

...alright. As we were then.

[He gestures for her to follow, then starts walking.]

If you have any other questions I can try and answer them, if you'd like.

[housenurse]

[Questions, questions, so many questions! But, she's also not entirely sure she can trust this kid yet. So, start off with some easy ones.]

Which member of the Elite Four are you?

[ironbuttmonkey]

Uzu Sanageyama, Athletic Committee Chairman.

[Needlessly inserts meaningless title ye.]
