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.

[Yep. Totally did the last one. Her face fell as she stood still, letting him adjust her clothing as if she was use to this...well she was. Why else was she always dressed and looking so nice and clean for living in such a shit hole?]
Oh come on! What does it matter? I could totally stand!
[Because that is what counts right?]
Besides I mean-- just look at it! [She turned back to the water. That awe-struck, amazed smile returned to her face the longer she stared at it's shimmering surface.] It's beautiful.
[Doesn't it make you just want to jump in, big bro?]

[ No thank you, he has already suffered the humiliation of learning to swim once and once is enough in any lifetime. Levi sighed, a harsher sound than was necessary as he picked up her emerald green cloak and threw it around her shoulders as a make shift towel. ]
There are clothes for swimming, dummy. [ He didn't even bother to ask if she had brought something to change into, because having spare clothes on hand had only recently ceased to be such a foreign idea to himself. Not to mention he was not going to prod at Isabel's lack of foresight at a time like this. ]
I'm taking you home with me before the military takes you to your assigned housing.

[How weird. Levi, you are going to have to explain everything about this odd modern world to her. She pulled the cloak closer to her as as pulled her 3d gear out of the sand. Now that she was done with the excitement of the ocean she finally took the time to look around and saw all the weird stuff around them.
She stared at an interesting bright pink glob of ice in a person's hand. She wanted to ask what that was and actually started to reach for a moment before what Levi said stopped her.]
My house? Wait, what? No! I wanna live you with! I'm not going where the military tells me!

He knew, he knew from the day he grabbed her by the hair that day in the underground alley where she had be tossed aside with the garbage, that this was a permanent connection for the both of them. The issue with the military barracks was, as they saw it, a temporary arrangement Isabel couldn't pitch a fit her way out of. That had felt like a lifetime ago, and perhaps because it had been. So much had changed, and Isabel's refusal to depart from his side was not something he felt inclined to correct. ]
That's shave ice. [ He caught her eyeballing the cup in someone's sticky hands and could only guess she must been as curious as she was hungry. ] It's ice flavored with fruit juices and sugar. [ Mostly sugar, but he knew a diatribe concerning healthier eating would sail over her head. ]
Here. [ He tug into his pants pocket for his wallet and stuffed a ten dollar bill in Isabel's still damp hands. ] You go to that cart over there and ask what flavors they have. Just get one and come back. No detours.

She stared at the paper he placed in her hand. She was use to seeing money is coin form, even then she had never held this much before. It might not be a lot in this world, but back home this would have feed them for at least a week.]
Really? [She was smiling wide again.] Do you want one? I'll get you one!
[She ran off without an answer from him. She dodged through the crowds and stopped where he pointed out. She was only gone for a few moments and came back with two scoops of color ice; one red and the other blue.]
Which do you want, big bro?
