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.

no one will dare oppose them or the waddles(es)

Is that so?

[ pig summoning super powers was definitely different, but hey, so was being able to kick her way into other dimensions. america isn't judging. ]

Better make sure he won't get jealous if he does show up here.

Pshh, no. Waddles knows that no matter what weird time dimension incidents happen he's my right-hand man! The only thing he'd be jealous of is my sweet new tattoo.

[She holds out her wrist to show off the tattoo. It looks like at some point Mabel found herself a sharpie and added some butterflies around the words REGISTERED HERO.]

He sounds like quite the big pig— hang on. [ she raises an eyebrow. ]

Can I get a look at that?

[ she stops, bending down to mabel's level to get a closer look. america yanks up her own sleeve to compare — sadly not the butterflies, although she's got a star tattoo of her own that clashes pretty hideously with the import one, but rather the words branded along with it. apparently, her refusal to cooperate immediately had manifested in ways she hadn't realized if the way that her wrist now says UNSETTLED is anything to go by. ]

[Mabel peers at America's wrist, attention split between the star tattoo (so cool) and the word UNSETTLED.]

What's that mean? How come you're not settled?

That there might be a bunch of imbéciles in charge of this thing.

[ seriously, who was she going to have to fly back and have words with about this? ]

I wasn't too happy with how they got all that information on me.
