now don't be rude


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! [She lets out a little yelp of surprise as he pulls her up like it's nothing. Man, what a strong guy... She bets he plays sports or something.

At his question, though, she blinks at him like he just grew a third nostril.]
My... power?

[Sports. Yeah, sports.]

You didn't notice you fell through your own chair...?
fuhgottaboutit: (denial)

[personal profile] fuhgottaboutit 2014-07-29 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[SHE SURE DIDN'T.]

No, I just fell... [Trailing off, she turns to examine the chair, as if that's the source of the problem. But it's in perfect repair, and has a back and armrests. It's the kind of chair that you don't really fall out of unless you fall asleep, or have a particular superpower. Part of Osaka realizes this, and she looks back at JoJo, confused.]

But... I didn't. I can't do that kinda thing.

You can now!

[GRINNING, LIKE THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.]

I have some powers too. Watch.

[He strikes a dramatic pose, pointing at Osaka, and saying:]

Next you're going to say "is that really a power?"

[... Whaaa? Doing a sentai pose and predicting what she's gonna say next? Osaka frowns slightly.]

Is that really a power?
fuhgottaboutit: (chiyo's a robot?!)

[And then she realizes what she just said, and jumps.]

Whoa, you were right!!

[personal profile] trickstar 2014-07-30 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
See! Ha ha, isn't it great?
fuhgottaboutit: (yaaaay)

[personal profile] fuhgottaboutit 2014-07-30 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's pretty cool!

[... Although then something occurs to her.]

But then... if somebody tells a joke, wouldn't you already know the punchline? [Because if so that's kind of a horrible fate...]

[personal profile] trickstar 2014-07-30 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I've never had that happen to me...
fuhgottaboutit: (neko koneko)

[personal profile] fuhgottaboutit 2014-08-01 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's good.

[... Awkward pause. Then she remembers she had a malt, and picks it up to take another sip. Yum~ :9

I don't even know what the NPC malt sippers are up to right now. Maybe they've lost interest???]
