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.
no subject
I guess that means I don't die in six days after all!
[DON'T MIND HIM JUST CELEBRATING OVER HERE.]
no subject
You've just met your grandson from the future, and all you can think about is that you aren't going to die in six days?
no subject
It's been a big stress for me for the past month!
[But now that he's not so concerned about having places to go...]
So you're my future grandson, eh?
What's your grandma's name, then? Is she a babe?
[I'm so sorry, Jotaro.]
no subject
I don't know if she's a babe back then, but she's a geezer like you now. [And besides, he's never met her in person. Wtf stopped you guys from coming out to visit Japan huh??] Her name's Suzie.
Suzie Q. Joestar.
no subject
[WHAT FOR REAL, HE MARRIES THE MAID?? Well, she was pretty cute... Sorry for never visiting, bby Jojo.]
Well, that's all the real questions I had to ask!
[He is a simple man.]
no subject
All you want to know is who you married? [Sigh.] You're annoying as an old man, but I had no idea you were this carefree when you were my age.
no subject
[Seriously Jotaro, lighten up. Maybe if you hadn't punched him twice in the past 10 minutes he'd put an arm over your shoulder.]
That aside, anything else I'd want to ask of you, you probably wouldn't know.
no subject
Tch, suit yourself.
So you really had no idea how to use your Stand at this age, did you?
no subject
...And are you still calling me a dolt??
no subject
Yes, I am. [Matter-of-factly.]
no subject
[Nevermind he's the one who picked the fight they almost got into to begin with. Let's ignore that.]
...Stole Jonathan's body? That doesn't sound right. Are you sure that's what I meant?
[Was he just making things up to mess with Jotaro and now inadvertently messing with himself??]
Hermit Purple, though. Does it look like yours?
[What a weird name.]
no subject
[He shakes his head as Star Platinum reappears behind him.] Nothing like it. It's... thorns. Like vines of purple thorns all around your body. You use it to see things far away.
no subject
As for Dio... I've never heard of anything like that, but if it's something I said in complete honesty, it must be the truth.
[It's hard to believe because it's weird as fuck, but well... He is also fighting thousand year old vampires so, maybe not that bad in comparison.]
It doesn't fight at all? It's just thorns?
[Wow, cheaping out, Stand!!]
no subject
You've used Hermit Purple to fight before. Imagine what thorny ropes under your full control can do. It has more uses than just combat, that's all.
no subject
[HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE HALF OF IT........]
I guess that sounds useful situationally.
[But it doesn't punch things, like Star Platinum, meaning it is significantly less cooler.]
no subject
But I'll still fight Dio to save her life. That's why we need to get to Egypt.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT THREAD, do you plan on going through with apping?
...Is she alright? Holly? Did Dio do something...?
IT IS and I'm thinking about it! it'll be my first time playing two characters in anything haha
When Dio awakened in Jonathan's body, every person with Joestar blood had their Stand unleashed. That includes her.
Stands are formed from your life energy and controlled by your fighting spirit. She's soft and gentle, she has no reason to fight. [He reaches up to grab the brim of his cap, striking a suitably dramatic pose.] If we don't get to Egypt and finish off Dio in time, her Stand will drain all of her life force- she'll die!
you should do it ☜ (めヮ め )☜
I see... Being here really does make two bad situations worse. If you don't return to our Earth on time, Holly dies, but if I don't return on time either, then it will never matter, because neither you or Holly will be born!
[Give him a second, he's thinking...]
Tell me, Jotaro. You said I can use my Hermit Purple to see things far away. Do you think that could still apply to the Earth we came from?
i want to! are you in the game currently? I'm the Olivier player
Good grief... this really is a pain in the ass. [He's not sure why Joseph needs to get back on time, but sure, he'll roll with it.]
It's never showed anything outside of the Earth we were in before. But I don't think you ever tried to look at another universe, either. So we can't rule it out.
If there were something here we could break to make it work...
I'm the horrible Inumuta player! hello!
Break?
[Not that he has a problem with breaking things, but...]
inumuta uvu i love our KLK cast I want Jotaro to meet Mama Mankanshoku
Your Stand. You use it by breaking things. Breaking a camera creates a spirit photo; you broke a jar of sand to create a map of a city.
If there were something with a screen around here we could break, we could try it...
[SLOWLY...
TURNING TO LOOK AT THE TVS...]
jotaros true weakness: being mommed to death.
... I don't have enough money to buy one of those, Jojo.
[UNLIKE RICH GRANDPAPPY JOSEPH.]
tsun tsun tsun tsun tsun go away woman you're annoying tsun
You haven't taught me much as my grandfather, but you did teach me one thing: The Joestar family's final plan. [Are you following...]
i'm in tears at this whole thread.
[Said mostly because wow he does not want to be running around a city he doesn't know well. LAZINESS PREVAILS for now.
Instead, Joseph heads into the electronics store, striding right up to the front desk and grinning. If Jotaro decides to head in with him, he'll hear Joseph trying to talk his way into getting the store manager to giving him the television for free by rite of being a Hero.
And if that doesn't work...
Well, that's when it's time for the final plan.]
it is sort of the best. do you know if the jonathan is coming too?
i'm not sure actually
we should make sure he does. TRIPLE JOESTAR
JOJOJOJOJOJO
like the Phantom Blood OP: JOJO. JOJO. JOJO.
i'm laughing because i'm imaging dio being the one to say that now when he sees them all. 1/2
(no subject)
he'd probably be like FUUUUUUUUUU
