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.

Batgirl. Wow, that's some range in the name.

[It comes out before she realizes that it's a rather tactless thing to say, but she does offer a rather apologetic look after a moment.]

Uh, not that I have room to talk. I share the codename Hawkeye with someone who's not here, but we're not exactly something you see every day.

[bratarang]

[ she briefly considers the two Batmans, multiple Flashes, and the entire legion of Green Lanterns. ]

Eh, that actually happens quite a lot. Although I do have to say that the Batgirl legacy began before Batwoman started her career, so if you want to make jabs at our very clever naming scheme, you should be aiming at her instead.

[ although... something that Hawkeye just said was interesting. ]

So there's superheroes where you're originally from too? This isn't a career that was suddenly sprung on you when you got here?

[selfequipped]

Noted. And, oh, yeah, they're pretty common. From what I've noticed, though, that's more common to our two worlds than anyone else's. But we have some pretty good representation here.

[By which she means there are quite a few people from her world—or a version of her world, at any rate. It's still strange for Kate to encounter people who don't have that experience, but it's fairly common here ... at least.]

But your world is the Superman and Batman world, right? [Just to be sure. Kate won't say how she knows those names, as it's still a little ... well, odd. But she wouldn't be surprised if Iron Man and Spider-Man were just as "fictional" to Batgirl.]
