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.

[THAT SURE IS AN ABRUPT SUBJECT CHANGE HE NOTICES but maybe telling him his name would help. It can't hurt, can it?

This is probably the first time he actually gives Dio a good look, although still keeping his somewhat upset demeanor. No point in showing he's suspicious already. ]

Joseph Joestar. Can you tell me the way back the Teleporter?? If I explain, maybe I can go back...

[Oh you have got to be kidding.

He doesn't care if this Joseph is clearly from long before they met, Joestars are always bad news. Even if Jotaro is the one he'd be really pissed off at seeing, it's not like that's saying much. It's like preferring surviving a stab wound over being killed.]

To think this place would plague me even now with your lineage, Jonathan...but so much younger. You have no idea who I even am, do you Joestar?

[So this guy knows his grandfather? Knows his lineage, as well.

And those teeth.

BUT HEY, KEEP IT COOL JOSEPH.]

You know, I didn't get a good look at you before, but...

[Joseph puts a hand on his chin, leaning forward and looking Dio over. Suddenly he pulls back and snaps his fingers.]

I got it! You're out early for Halloween!

[Oh, he can be as clever as he likes. It doesn't affect Dio's smug attitude.]

No, you wouldn't, would you? After all, your grandfather never was around...not to tell you about I. Dio.

Dio.

[Joseph gives a hard glare, like he knows what that name means.]

[And then shrugs.]

Never heard of you! You must not have been that important.

[What a punk.

Then again, he isn't surprised. He isn't sure when exactly Joseph became aware of him after all.]

You might say your grandfather and I were...old friends. I was with him during his dying moments.

Is that so? Because from what I heard...

My grandfather died on a ship with no survivors except my grandmother and my mother!

That's because as far as everyone was concerned, there were no other survivors. I went down with the ship.

[HIS DYING MOMENTS WERE NOT WITH HIS DEAR BELOVED WIFE.

THEY WERE WITH HIM, DIO!!!]

Strange, that your grandmother never mentioned me. We used to be well acquainted.

[Ha ha.]

[Dio you sound kind of jealous.

Are you jealous.]

I can't say I blame her for wanting to forget about ever knowing vampire scum.

[Always.

Why won't Sempai just notice him.]

Tsk, tsk. Jonathan wouldn't approve of judging someone by what they are like that, you know. I'm sure he would prefer his grandson judge a person by their character, fairly.

There's no point in worrying about what someone I've never met thinks about me. If Grannie never mentioned you, it's for a good reason, and I can just tell from looking at you that you're bad news.

[Well, he's not wrong.]

And there I was thinking we could be friends just like I was with your grandfather. How disappointing.

[He sounds so fucking sarcastic, what a creep.]

[It's seriously killing him that he doesn't know exactly what happened between this guy and his grandfather...]

Friends, with someone like you? Maybe my grandfather was that naive, but you won't be seeing that from me.
