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 kidding.

[ Not so rocking the New York black-chic, but rocking a blue leather jacket that might have come from the nearest Evanescence concert. Also: an ice cream cone, and apparently strange enough that she'll sit right next to Jessica on that park bench. ]

All it needs is that maid robot. What was its name? The one with the lacy collar.

[motherfucked]

[ Jessica is okay with strange people, as long as they're women with ice cream and blue jackets and maybe blue hair and not anti-mutant or creepy guys or too perfect or, well, a lot of things. ]

Shit, I don't know. Ruby? Rosie? It looked like grandma's vacuum come to life.

[recur]

[ Tamsin's nose scrunches in that way that's either a) about hayfever, or b) thoughtful, though at this angle it looks more like she's scrutinizing the chocolate chip ratio in her mint choc-chip. ]

Please say that's a rhetorical grandma. I don't think I could take any soul-burdening over ice cream.

[motherfucked]

Relax. I don't care about vacuums.

[recur]

Or long-dead grandmas?

[ Tact: not in this family. ]

[motherfucked]

[ That gets her. ]

Who are you?

[recur]

Tamsin.

[ The ice cream's melted a little over her fingers. Tamsin shrugs, wiping her hand on the leg of her jeans before extending it, wiggling her fingers ala jazz hands. ]

I make it a point to know people when there's something so fucking wrong here that people keep looking at you.
