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.
Barbie | Life in the Dreamhouse
[ It's no Malibu, but the brilliant Florida sunshine is as familiar to Barbie as her fifteenth-favorite shade of eyeshadow, so she already feels right at home. She waves to the gathering crowd and stops for pictures, signing autographs for girls young and old—even if the pens seem so much smaller than she's used to, it's no trouble at all. It's worth the momentary fumble for the look of joy on a young girl's face when she proudly exclaims what she wants to be when she grows up.
Being an inspiration to others is its own reward—but it's hard work, too! After a couple hours of it, she needs a break, and what better place than the malt shop? It's been a while since she's had a good, old-fashioned malt, after all.
Although... ]
Can I try some of that rainbow sherbet?
[ What? Every girl has her weakness. ]

[ Wait. Reggie looks up from sulking into his ice cream dish and out of his own thoughts long enough to realize she probably isn't talking to him. (As hard as that may be for him to believe sometimes.)
He sits up more, straighter, letting his spoon rest in the center of the bowl. ]
I mean don't get it just on account of me making it look good.
no subject
[ It's not that Barbie didn't see him there, but he had been so attentive to his dessert—and her so focused on getting her own—that she didn't realize he might have mistaken who she was asking. How silly! ]
Don't worry. [ Said with a Winning Trademark Smile. ] I'm sure it will look just as good in my own bowl—and taste just as good, too.
no subject
Yeah, maybe. It looks better than it tastes, t'be honest -- more color than flavor. If you want to be adventurous I'd recommend the rocky road or something. [ He pushes his bowl across the counter slightly. ] But you can have a taste of mine if you're that desperate.
no subject
I'm pretty sure it's sherbert, but if you'd like some, I'd be happy to make sure you get a chance to try some.

Alright, that's cute, I'll give you that. Give me just a second, alright?
[ And off he goes, returning with...yes Rainbow sherbet. ]
A sure bet, just for you.
