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.

Comments

ty. I'm quite proud of it.

Hi, Wally.

[She tried not to smile too much in relief at the sight of a familiar face. Or wince at the (open) face (sandwich) of a familiar sight...namely, Wally's appetite. One of the few things Robin had lied to her face about: she was fairly positive she would never get used to the speedster's eating habits.]

I assume this is experience talking here?

[runningstart]

You bet it is. There's that saying, squeaky wheel gets the grease? [Ah yes five layers should be enough for now.] Squeaking can get a person real far.

[backwordscompatible]

[You might need a bigger mouth for that sandwich. And, considering you, that's really saying something.]

I don't squeak.

[runningstart]

Why, is it against your religion or something? [REVOLTING CHOMP]

[G R O S S]

I'm not sure what squeaking has to do with religion. I'm not sure I want to know.

Either way, can you please chew with your mouth closed or something? I think I'm getting nauseous.

[runningstart]

Sorry, can't do that. [But he does turn his phone around so the camera isn't facing him, at least. She's left staring at the wall and the occasional hand that picks up a jar or butter knife and removes it from view.]

So when'd you get here?

[backwordscompatible]

[That was...]

[sigh]

[...probably the best she could hope for at the moment.]

An hour ago. Maybe more. Definitely sometime within the last three. Probably.

[She might still be a bit confused about timelines.]
