WILL YOU HELP SAVE THE WORLD?

Mask or Menace is a panfandom urban 'superhero' genre DWRP game, where heroes, villains, and everyone in between seek to survive and thrive in a world loosely parallel to our own.

HEY, BASTARDS!!!

[The video shows Katsuki standing somewhere in Maurtia Falls with his free hand splayed out and twitching an infuriated scowl on his face as a vein throbs against his forehead. The first thing he did as soon as he got back was start to head home, but he has a question.]

The psychos in the lab coats and Porter thought it would be a good idea to give me some kinda new shitty healing quir-power, and it's bullshit! The fuck is wrong with 'em?! What if I blow someone up on accident instead of on purpose?! So I was wondering-

WHICH OF YA LOSERS ARE GOOD AT HEALING OR WHATEVER!!!

[ Anakin is sitting on a barrel, it looks like it's painted entirely blue. He's in a course coverall, and there's many different dripples and dabs of paint in various colors. White and blue are the most featured, then black and grey. But there is some yellow and red sneaking in there. There's a fleck of the same blue on Anakin's jaw, and he looks a bit sweaty. ]

When we arrive here, we are assigned a city, an apartment, a job. How many of you have kept those arrangements? What made you change them? If you didn't change them, why not?

[ He rolled his shoulders back, and twisted a little, stretching his back out. ]

I know there's a fair few of us with lightsabers. I'd like to get a bit of a dueling club together, but first we need to hold some classes. So anyone who is Force Sensative and wants to join in, let me know. It can be privately. But I will be holding some basic safety classes first to make sure everyone leaves with everything they brought with them still attached.

with everything that's been going on, i think that people should not have to go to work. accidents in the workplace with mixed up quirks would be awful, so... just in case.

i'm not personally affected or anything. i just hate my job.

[ It was an unconventional way of saying 'hello, this is my first post to this Network', but it was better than nothing. Debatably. ]

[ the video starts and Kaneki has a small nervous smile because using video is always a bit awkward. He is in his apartment house in Maurtia Falls, with tons of books on the shelves behind him. ]

H-hello. We are almost in December, and I guess Christmas is very important here- [ he has noticed all those Christmas decorations and songs, yeah. It's all a bit overwhelming, but he is going to get into the Christmas spirit too ] So I was wondering if anyone would be up for a Christmas dinner? I never had one, neither hosted one, but I think it'd be nice and different.

Me and Katsuki live in Maurtia Falls, and we can host the dinner here at the beginning of the month after the Welcome Ceremony for new imPorts, maybe. For friends, and friends of friends. [ kaneki smiles wider ]

If anyone would like to bring food or drinks you can, but I will be the one cooking, I've been reading a little about popular Christmas dishes.

Hey, so - calling all healers! Or, like... medically inclined ImPorts?

My job's lookin' to open up a new internship program for anybody with healing powers or supersmarts or whatever. [ he clearly does not have one of these powers. ] Their thinking is, like, working together we can really advance medical tech and knowhow here. It's a great place to work. They don't care if you get busy with heroism or whatever. They pay crazy well, too.

[ he snaps his fingers into fingerguns. ]

I've also got loads of experience with mastery over healing techniques, and like, a few PhDs worth of medical knowledge in my head, so if you need a mentor in medicine or some first aid, I'm your guy! I've also kinda never really hung out with another healer, who wasn't like, vaguely evil or like a million years old - so it'd be cool to compare notes?

Since I suppose it's socially acceptable to talk about this now that one American autumn holiday has passed: I'm now accepting suggestions for New Year's Resolutions. I'm not picky on if they're serious, silly, or just really dumbass-y. Or just tell me what yours are.

And yes, I am:
a) bored
b) looking for inspiration
c) all of the above

[ How many will she actually use? WHO KNOWS. Wanda, out. ]

So, what's Black Friday, anyway? Is this some American day of remembrance for a tragedy I don't know about?

And before any of you decide to get cute about it:

1. I'm not from the US, and I'd never been before arriving here

2. I tried searching for the same information about Columbus Day and got what I'm pretty sure are all the same sales advertisements I'm seeing now only with fewer birds

Hahah, check it out!

[ Finn, for perhaps the first time since his arrival nearly four months ago, is not wearing his bear hood. The hair underneath it is silky, blonde, and both longer than can be considered fashionable and poorly cut. The reason for his bare head is clearly the hat he's holding up to the camera now. ]

We got these cool hats from the candy store to wear while we work!

[ He plops it on his head. ]

They're called Thanksgiving Hats. I think it has something to do with a sale we're having... We have to give them back when it's over, but we can take them home with us until then!

I didn't know you could get hats from having a job. Is that a normal thing? I've never really been in a candy store before, so maybe that's weird?

All,

I hope that I speak for everyone that participated in the experiment when I say that AtlanTech is a substandard research group who must understand that they cannot continue to put participants in harm's way. I am fortunate that I have not been harmed thus far, but I am high considering filing a lawsuit if things do not improve.

Has any Import taken any group to court before today? I can't be the only one seriously considering this.

[ Twice appears on video wearing a tank top and jeans and his mask on top.]

This is fine! This is not fine! I can’t use Double, I keep making things move, I’m getting some pretty weird vibes and -

[ He holds up a strange thing, eying it so suspiciously somehow that emotion carries through his mask. ]

What the hell is this thing supposed to be? It’s kind of cool looking. Awful. What does it even do?

Wait, is this a button? Hang on, I’m gonna --

[He presses the button and the lightsaber unleashes in it’s full glory, to his immense distress. ] Ahhhhh! [ He fumbles it, drops it and suddenly there's a sizzling sound. ]

....Oh.

[ and he abruptly cuts the feed. (No Twices were harmed in the making of this post.)]

[Guess who got his five minutes of memory while he happened to be near his communicator? This guy. He seems excited and wild eyed as he shares the news.]

Guys, I remember it. I remember everything. Everything I gave up during all the...stuff, with the OTO and the goddesses. My home world, the plan to bring back Ozzie...everything. Our memories we gave up are coming back.

[A while later.]
[He comes back on, looking a bit unnerved at this video that he had apparently made.]

I...just wanted to let everyone know. I just came across this post. I don't remember making it. And...I also don't remember any of the memories that I gave up, so...I don't know what's going on here. I just didn't want to get anyone's hopes up. I just wanted to let everyone know. So I guess I'll see you all around in 11921.

[OOC: Please indicate whether your character is responding before or after the five minutes are up.]

pidgewidgeon

How many hackers or programmers do we have here? I have a project I'm working on that seems to be falling into "The More The Merrier".

I already have access to the networks, so I just need people interested in helping to gather as much data as possible.

Let me know.

[ The video opens on a snazzy looking boat. That in and of itself wouldn't be weird... Maybe some imPort is bragging about their new boat purchase, or taking an ocean cruise somewhere. No, the weird thing is that the boat is nowhere near water. In fact, it's in the middle of a gravel driveway, somewhere in the woods. The even weirder part comes when the boat spontaneously twists and churns and transforms into an exasperated robot, sprawled out in a heap in the driveway, all thirty feet of him. He shifts back and forth a couple times more, boat to robot, robot to boat, before finally groaning loudly. ]

Augh!! No matter how much I try to transform, I cannot return to my true body! What is happening?! This is not what I signed up for when I volunteered for this study!

[ Those who know Riptide might recognize that the voice's accent is different. Those who know Jin Zixuan night recognize it as belonging to him. Those who don't know either of them, well... Laugh while you can. ]

Ironfist has been Ported out.

[ He'd given it a while, to make sure that it wasn't simply the temporary disappearances, but the Wrecker has not been seen for past the usual stint of Porter mischief. ]

I know he was working on tech projects for several people... my engineering background isn't nearly as extensive as his, but I'm willing to take a look at any incomplete designs and finish them if possible, on his behalf.

[ Evidently Ironfist made more of an impact on the medic while he was here than he might have realized. For a moment it seems as though Knock Out might add something, but decides not to, and ends the message. ]

Greetings, fellow network users!

[Lucina smiles, a touch sheepish, but no less friendly as she waves at the camera. she's got a fairly decent-yet-overcast fall day as her backdrop......and a heinous affront to aesthetics for a coat. because Lucina.]

As I was checking up on things on here, I wound up detouring into my own posting history and discovered...I hadn't actually made a post of my own since March of last year-! An entire year and more has passed by, almost like that. It's somehow both so sudden and...so long ago. My relationship with time itself has often been a bit iffy as it is, so that was just...one more thing, putting it into perspective.

[a beat, looking askance for a moment.]

...That said, I thought it would be pertinent to sort of...reintroduce myself here, since there may be quite a lot here now whose acquaintances I've yet to make! [putting a hand to her chest.] My name is Lucina, and I'm one of the members of the Aegis Force, up here in Maurtia Falls. If you're in a pinch or looking for some help or answers, you can give me or any of the others a call. We try to be a resource to help you get your footing here safely just as much as we try to keep the streets safe for everyone here.

Speaking of which, since that...that flicker into another time and place...it's been markedly quiet, right? And I don't say that to try and jinx it, but rather, if...something new is brewing, I've not yet heard of it. I'd let you know if I did, as I surely hope you're comfortable doing so here if you catch wind of anything first, okay?

[a beat. she means to end it there, but a thought strikes her.]

Oh! And if you are new to this world or, or worlds like it...you need to know of some fall traditions besides all the costumes and candy! During the harvest season, there's places outside of the denser city areas with small mills, and they make their own confections called "cider mill donuts." It's not the same as the ones you can get downtown, I assure you -- they've got an entirely different character, I promise! It's very worth checking out. The apple cider, too.

[she shrugs, grinning a little.]

That said, I hope you're all doing well, and that you remain as such!

forcechanic

This is a really weird question but... what do you call your grandparents?

My grandfather says "Grandfather" is too formal but "Grandpa" is taken and calling him by his first name would just be weird.

[This is so not a problem she was prepared for. Time travel is weird.]

[ No Anakin isn't filming Padmè without her consent but his device is filming him. His eyes are half closed, there's a small smile on his face, and there is a noticeable lack of tension around his mouth and jaw. Laughter and matching young voices can be heard in the background. ]

Anyone else skip the party tonight? There's a custom of children in costumes going to homes and asking for candy. It's...charming.

[ Charming likely due to his wife's delight but details. ]

[ There is a filtered video attached, to Rex, Luke, Leia, Jaina, and Rey, Jane and Anakin's voice is hushed. ]

If I were to need a blank of wood suitable for carving, about one and half meters tall and equally in diameter, any idea where I could go looking? And keep it from Padmè? I don't want her to see it until I'm finished.

divaricate

So, while it's Halloween and we're probably all in a spooky mood, and with alternate realities on the mind, here's spooky food for thought. Or candy for thought, I guess, given the holiday — whatever, work with me here.

Is anyone else who doesn't have any really clear memories of what was apparently our last trip to alternate reality town, okay with *not* opening that box of worms ... or is it just me?

moonlitpath

Um. So, I know Halloween's not even passed, but I've a question! Say someone wants to take their sewing skills pro, what'd be the best way?

[The more she talks, the more apparent it becomes that she's nervous.] I've shown my skills off here before, and I've made a few things for people as well and I'm happy to show them off again. But I've never really thought about doing it for money, you know?

And if I did, I'm not sure how much I'd charge, because I do it more to see people enjoy what I make than for the money, you know? But... I know if I take this pro doing it like that mean I could get taken advantage of, so... I don't know what to do. I want to do this because I like it, yet...

So! Any advice is welcome.

[It has been some time since Jane has been on the network. Keeping off of it except for when needed was not accidental; she wanted to see more people in person, physically see them to assure herself that they were okay. Let them know that she was there if they needed her. But, things have been turning around in her head and she needs to crowd source.]

Hey, everyone. I have some questions, but given their nature, feel free to not answer them.

First, how clear are your memories from that world? Feel free to be as detailed or objective as you want. You don’t need to tell me anything personal if you don’t want to.

Second, if you remember anything clearly from that world, was it different or similar to this one? If it was similar, how so?

Third, did any of you manage to get anywhere near their Porters or see how they worked?

I have a ton of theories—the instability of this world happening again because of our actions last November, the possibility that other universe just crossed into ours for a time, the Porters in this world malfunctioning or connecting to those Porters somehow. I’m not above wondering if all of this is some sort of simulation, as has been mentioned by others. But if we want to figure anything out, we need more data, and at the moment, it’s just whatever personal accounts we might have. I really wish I could have kept the data I had from that other world, but …

[She gives a shrug with a sigh.]

That is Murphy’s law or something for you.
