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.
WELL MAYBE YOU WILL SOON
It may be even stranger than the flying cars, he considers.]
I have indeed, [he says, a smile playing at the corner of his lip.] But I do not believe that I have heard your good word. [His eyes flick down to the tiny church back to the stranger's face.]
And unless you have managed to procure that in your stay here, it appears that whoever is in charge here has seen it fit to facilitate your doubtlessly noble cause.
I had to physically restrain myself from calling him Chapel
[Wolfwood considers himself an excellent judge of character, and this guy—well, there's something about this guy. Maybe they knew each other in a previous life, or so some stories go. Not that he's allowed to believe them, being a man of God and all.]
Would you care to confess your sins today? Just this once, it's on the house.
oh my god I feel your pain CHAPEL AND GRIFT 5ever
He knows the long history of paid confessions. It had been a long, profitable game, and it's one he doesn't doubt he would have indulged in himself, given the opportunity.] But I am curious - what is the greatest amount you have charged to one given man? Or one given woman, for that matter.
[They are lovely creatures, but not at all exempt from sin, which makes their company all the more treasured, in Thomas' educated opinion.]
