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 hey now, that is some pep abigail hasn't seen outside of the nurses at port haven trying to convince her that group therapy is the most happening place to be. spoilers, it's not. it's really not.

she blinks, taken aback, but slowly shakes her head in answer. ] N-no. I haven't. Not yet.

[ definitely a coma dream. ]

[mattelrealist]

Would you like some? It'll be my treat.

[ It's a little forward, but it's hard for a girl to get anywhere in life if she always second-guesses herself. It's all about confidence, honesty, and the dedication to be true to yourself.

in this case, "true-to-yourself" means taking the first step in making new friends—besides, who ever says no to free ice cream? ]

What's your fave?

[lurings]

Vanilla? [ she's not entirely sure, as she doesn't take any time to turn back and look at the options she has, she just pulls out the first flavor she could think of. (it's followed by chocolate and mint chocolate chip, but she stays with vanilla.) she seems to be unused to strangers being genuinely kind.

she's a little weirded out, but she covers it well, only the line between her furrowed eyebrows left as evidence. ]

[mattelrealist]

Be back in a jiff!

[ so quickly, in fact, it seems to take barbie more time to say that than it does for her to leave abigail's side, head back to the counter, purchase a couple desserts, and return--for in just the blink of an eye, she's returned with two bowls of ice cream. the one she offers to abigail is two scoops of french vanilla topped with a light smattering of chocolate sprinkles, while the bowl for barbie is two scoops of french vanilla dusted with pink sugar crystals. ]

Here you go. [ said with a smile, offering over the bowl that doesn't look like a fairy started shedding on it. ] I hope you like it. It just isn't ice cream without sprinkles!

[lurings]

[ ...whoa.

that was...

fast.

and a little disorienting.

she takes the ice cream automatically like it doesn't occur to her to not take it because she's still caught off guard by the speed of which it was pushed into her hands. ] Uh. [ words. woooooooords. words. ] Yeah, thank you. Sprinkles are fine. There's an ice cream place in Baltimore that calls chocolate sprinkles "jimmies".

[ enjoy... that useless knowledge. :) ]
