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.

[ Kira happens to be passing by - his first instinct is to ignore Joseph because it's not his business if someone is having trouble with a phone. And yet there's something completely unnerving about it, so he can't help approaching. ]

If you keep doing that you are going to break it.

[trickstar]

Break it-?

[Said, like it never occurred to him that he's getting upset enough to potentially smash this phone. Which it never did.

He hangs up the phone because he's clearly not getting anywhere with it anyway.]

Can I ask you a favor? I'm having a few problems right now... I don't know the phone number to somewhere really important!

[underhandedness]

[ The number this person wants to calls probably doesn't even exist here...!

He looks at his watch, frowning slightly. Well, that's what he gets for meddling in the first place. ]

... Sure. How can I help?

[trickstar]

I can't waste any more time trying to call ahead. I have to just go there myself!

[DETERMINED BARA IN YOUR FACE KIRA. WHAT DO YOU DO.]

We need to find a plane!

[underhandedness]

[ He looks at Joseph as if he had suddenly grown another arm, stepping back to put a proper distant between them. Ugh, why does he keep running into such brash people.]

Calm down.

[ People are beginning to stare, damn it. ]

You just arrived, didn't you? Whatever you needed to do, now it can wait.

[trickstar]

[HE CAN'T CALM DOWN. Fuck those people.]

It can't wait! I have a time limit!

[Although he isn't thinking things through too well, if he takes a moment.]

It's the only way I can think of...

[underhandedness]

They didn't explain it to you? [ Or maybe he didn't listen. Yeah, probably that. ] Your unfinished business has to wait.

[ He sounds a little exasperated now - sorry Jojo, but he finds it very hard to care. ]

This isn't the same world you came from.

[trickstar]

I know that, but it's the only thing I can think of. I have a poison in my body that will kill me in six days, and the only way to have it removed is by taking an antidote held by a man I have to defeat. Time might be on hold, but I don't think that applies to the poison, since it's a part of me.

I need to think...
