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.

[WOW!!! He is so mad at his future grandson for being so un-gentlemanly. Except he doesn't even know that that's his own grandson- so he can't even be mad. Wait till YOU get old and your grandson start disrespecting you Joseph.]

I'm sorry? [He doesn't know how to use the phone and even if he did- he wouldn't have anyone to call.] I don't need to use the phone? I was just wondering if you would want to get directions together? Make it an adventure for lost travelers such as ourselves! [A Bizarre Adventure.]

[Oh my god this guy is still here, christ.]

Hang on a second.

[Joseph says to the Operator, and then puts his hand over what he thinks is the microphone half of the receiver.]

I'm already on an adventure, and this is a really big detour for me! I have six days to get to Switzerland and- ah, I shouldn't be just telling this to anyone.

[Although, he's staring at this guy a little more. Weird dejavu feeling.]

...We can find directions to somewhere I can get a plane from, if you really want to.

[Told you to wait till you have your own grandson disrespect you. Told you, Jo.]

Switzerland in six days? [He's confused, not about the plane (what's a plane) but about the amount of time the man wants to reach Switzerland. A boat would at least take longer than that.]

Sir, pardon me for being abrupt but, reaching Switzerland in six days is improbable!

It may be improbable... But it's not impossible! And I have to, or I'll die!

[Oh no! This man is going to die if he doesn't get to Switzerland!! Jojo knows the feeling though. Maybe this man is also sick like his father once was. If you didn't want his help before, Joseph, you're definitely getting it now.] You'll die? Please, let me help you! A dying man can't take the journey alone!

You'd so easily throw yourself into someone else's problem when you don't even know the details? It's a dangerous journey, and I won't risk a stranger's life in telling him to come with me.

I was once in a situation like yours and it was through the kindness of strangers that I was able to see to the journey to the end. Without their help and wisdom, I probably would not be alive today. [a pause to remember the memory of Will A. Zeppeli and Dire. rip.] It's the right thing to do, to help others in need.

[He extends a hand.]

My name is Jonathan Joestar, please let me help you

...

Did you say... Joestar? Jonathan Joestar?

[WAT.]

Yes! Jonathan Joestar, some call me Jojo. [Why is this man so shocked.] Have you heard of the Joestar name?

I... I have, considering it's my name as well.

[THIS IS TOO WEIRD.]

Another Joestar??

[Aww shit son.]

Are you a cousin? But that doesn't make any sense... my father George Joestar didn't mention of any uncles or aunts.

No. I think... you're my grandfather!

[What.]

What??

[What.]

You- you marry Erina, don't you?!
