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.

[Erwin got into the driver's side, he figured that Marlowe could get his bearings at their residence before returning to his own. Since he had pledged himself to the Survey Corps, Erwin has no intention of ditching him on the streets.]

Why did you join the Military Police, Private? [He asked thoughtfully once they were on the way to the house. He remembered when Nile had made the choice to choose the Military Police and having a family over the Survey Corps all those years ago so there was some curiosity.]

[Marlowe answers this question without hesitation, turning away from the window to glance at Erwin.]

I'd heard about the corruption in the Military Police--who hasn't? And it's sickening, to think that the interests of the people are served by those who only care about themselves. I determined that the best way to combat that corruption would be from within. Who else could have the ability, the necessary influence, to clear out the trash from the ranks?

[He frowns, angered by the thought of the scum holding people's lives and livelihoods in their hands. It's disgusting.]

In retrospect, perhaps I should have joined the Survey Corps. The system may be too corrupt to salvage as I believed I could.
