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.

[ Thor seems like a good person to blame. ]

I didn't burst your bubble too badly, did I?

[ a little poke here and a little poke there, just to see how far he could push it. he had to admit a strategically tossed rock was clever, and the opposite of any brute strength or daring acrobatics that most would jump to in conclusion. he had a hunch, but it wasn't something that he was ready to jump to just yet. for now, he held his hand close. ]

I hardly meant to discourage you.

I must give a really bad impression if you think that's discouraging. [He knows he's nothing much physically, but he'd like to think he was stronger than that.]

I've met Vali and he was a pain so I'm just wondering how much worse you're going to be.

Are we speaking in comparisons?

[ he says, smoothly. Vali, was it? it's apparent that it catches his attention. (even though how much of a pain he wanted to be and what kind of pain was still up in the air.) ]

I have a varied amount of ke$ha dubstep remixes on my StarkPhone and at least three hours of free time. That could be a lingering threat.

[He pulls out an original gameboy and pushes a couple of buttons.]

...I can't believe you were serious about that. Your playlists looks like a girl's!

[He's going to need to change a few things on his file on Loki. Amadeus doesn't doubt that he's any less dangerous, but his approach to things seem to have changed quite a bit.]

As if that's an insult.

[ Loki has absolutely no qualms about getting up in someone's personal space, and he does just that, taking a few long strides to peer over his shoulder. ]

They've new models of that, you know. Yours resembles an ancient prehistoric lizard.

[ he's still very dangerous, but variables always were. ]

These things can survive a bomb unlike your Starkphone, which by the way, has only marginally better security than most companies. Stark keeps the best stuff for himself.

[He shows Loki the screen which lists Loki's various ke$sha remixes. Why wouldn't he want to show off a little.]

[ yes, please, do show off. he manages to look mildly interested, straw still in his mouth as he takes a look at the lists scrolling down the screen of the archaic looking GameBoy. ]

Oh, he always does.

[ did someone say gossip? ]

That's not so surprising.

[ but Stark isn't the only one with tricks up his sleeve. he's intentionally engaged Tony in the most annoying arguments about magic that usually end in a word vomit about just how much Tony hates it. it was almost vindicating.

the art of sorcerous smart phone tampering. ]

Be sure not to push it, just exploit the flaws. I'm sure he'll think twice about it.

[ sounds fun. ]

We're in a universe where his registration wet dreams came true, he can suck it up if a teenager messes with him.

[He looks at Loki suspiciously.]

Why are you trying to dissuade me, I thought Loki liked that sort of thing.

[Thor even tried comparing the two once. There's got to be more to it.]

Don't tell me you can't distinguish a friendly warning from being outright dissuaded.

[ somehow, he still manages to look a little pleased. ]

I thought that you'd be up for the challenge. [ he waves his dark nailed fingers dismissively. ] Tony Stark, terrible beards and registration boners aside.
