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
[Her shoulders lift in a shrug, but she does stand, pulling her coat closer around her.]
I'd like that. Maybe I could buy you a drink.
[She turns around enough so he could see her face, lips curved into a smile that was both warm and a touch suggestive.]
no subject
[He noted the smile, and all it implied, and nodded, a light smile of his own in response. Michael stood, straightening out his jacket.]
What do you drink? [She was a vampire after all.]
Is it something they carry in that shop over there?
[A wave of his hand towards a nearby building, but he was looking at her intently.]
no subject
[Something in her pocket rattles as she digs her hand in, pulling out a bottle of pills.]
They have substitute. So anything will do.
[Putting the bottle away, she starts towards the closest crop of buildings.]
Why don't we go find out, hmm? What do you drink?
no subject
I don't have a favorite beverage, but certainly not blood.
[His tone was light, and he was looking away from the vampire so she couldn't see the humor in his eyes.]
That looks like a good one. [Nodding towards a shop.]
[He really had no clue if it was, but it was close and it would suit their needs.]
no subject
[She chuckles, dark and amused.]
I should hope not. Not good for something like you, I imagine.
[Her hands tuck into her pockets as she walks, stepping into a quick smooth stride as she walked for the shop Michael pointed out.]
Then let's take a look.
