now don't be rude


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.

What does magic feel like?

[ He snaps it in a smart-ass sort of way mostly because he's tense, but also because Reggie's a smart-ass. Leave it Sabrina to start getting weird again just when he was starting to think she was kind of cool.

But then, that part's mostly because she's the only one he actually knows here in... Pleasantville. He mutters:

It doesn't feel like a zombie apocalypse, either. Doesn't mean that can't ever happen.

You wouldn't understand. [ She's getting more frustrated as she's getting more lucid. She has to do something, right? ]

What are you talking about? Zombies are so overdone. [ She also doesn't know what happened to Riverdale. ]

Well, who would?

[ Yep, confirm this girl for w e i r d. Not all that surprising. ]

Tell that to Riverdale after Jughead turned Halloween into an even worse "night of the living" march than finals week. [ Everything is always Jughead's fault, yes. Anyway, there's no way to say it in a way that doesn't sound absurd. ] And believe me, I wouldn't make this kind of thing up.

Jughead?

No, that can't be… [ She says. But somewhere far off and somewhere too close, she knows it is. ]
mantlepieces: (no YOU were going to free the zombies)

Come on, Sabrina. If anyone could ruin Riverdale for the rest of us, doesn't it make sense it would be Jughead?

[ Or Reggie -- call this an unintentional threeway team effort. ]

I saw it go down.

No, no you didn't. [ She starts talking faster. ] It was… Hot Dog, someone ran him over, and Juggie, he just looked so sad

We have to go back. [ If meddling with magic caused this problem, obviously more meddling will fix it. The Sabrina Spellman Way™. ]
mantlepieces: (oh no he's hot)

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2014-07-31 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ The mention of Hot Dog makes Reggie go pale, and incredibly speechless for a long moment. ]

Is that... d-did he tell you that? Since when are you guys so close? [ But then, more aggressively: ] Why the hell should we go back? We're out of that nightmare, and I don't know about you, but I'm in the business of staying alive.
