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.

Whoa whoa whoa. [KF holds out his hands to stop him, giving the kid -he's not really that much younger than Wally is, though- a closer look.] You're Barry's grandson? I mean, am I still just Kid Flash when you're like decades in the future, 'cause that would just be insulting. [not really the important part here but also v. important to wally]

[crashology]

[It's more the question that makes Bart pause than the fact that Wally had signaled for him to stop and slow down on the information front. The silence doesn't last for longer than a few seconds though before he's back to grinning at the older teen.]

That's what I said. About the grandson part. Not the Kid Flash part. Don't wanna reveal too much about the future, you know? [He's skirting around the answer a bit, but if pressed Bart figures that he can say that Wally isn't Kid Flash in the future. It's the "why" that he doesn't want to have to say.]

[runningstart]

[KF waves a hand. He doesn't really buy too much of that 'in the future' stuff anyway, or at least tries not to think about it too hard. With all the alternate dimension folks around here, there's no guarantee that this kid is the descendant of the Barry Allen Wally knows anyway.] Well, family is family, right? Want the tour of the place?

[crashology]

A tour with you? So totally crash! I was doing some looking around, but who could say no to a tour guided by Kid Flash, right? [And then he can look around and get to know Wally again. Two birds, one stone. At least Wally had dropped the questions about his future. Small victories.]

Where do we start?

[runningstart]

[mm yes this is acceptable ego food, wally likes this]

We start with all the places around here that are all-you-can eat, and work our way north up the east coast, [KF points out with a grin.] You're pretty lucky you ran into me, honestly.
