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.

I've apparently missed two and a half decades, between what year it was for me yesterday and what year it is, here and now. And to be honest, I wasn't exactly around for a half dozen years before that.

Point is, I need to play catchup. Can anyone tell me what sort of TV and music I've missed out on? Is No Doubt still a thing? What about Nirvana? Anyone got any recommendations for movies I should rent from Blockbuster?

Oh, and they've made me a flight instructor, so I guess if there's anyone who knows specifically the advancements planes have made in the past twenty-five years, definitely let me know.

[ So here's a new kid on the network tonight. Trying to find an angle that lets him hide at least some of his nervousness. Or at least lets him use it to channel his best impression of a Definitely Normal Team, No Superheroics Here Honest. He mostly just looks awkward and nerdy, which is … accurate anyway, so let’s go with that. ]

Hey - um, so I’m Peter. Peter Parker. And I just got here, and -

[ He’s read through what’s left of his files, he’s read through the last couple weeks of posts just to get a feel for things. After that, he has one incredibly important question: ]

Did I seriously just barely miss out on a Death Star being here? For real? That’s not fair. Please tell me it’s coming back at some point.

[ That’s probably an objectively incorrect thing to want, but. Look. That would have made his entire life. He could die happy. For the second time. Well, the second time dying, first time dying happy. Anyway, he turns reluctantly to the list of actual serious questions he made. Not enough time to ask them all (unless he just takes in a breath and rapid fire asks all of them in thirty seconds) so he’ll just pick one for now. ]

So, school. How is that working out for people who still hafta go? And can you like … argue with it at all? Because I’m all for finishing high school, but this is my third time going into sophomore year and I’m starting to feel like that movie with the Ghostbuster being depressed in Pennsylvania.

(( OOC: Spoilers for Far From Home are likely, but I can avoid them if necessary! ))

[Change is hard, but maybe, in the long run, it will be good. This message will be brief, yet oh how he has changed over the past month. Is that facial hair? Has he gotten a haircut? Yes to all the above. But don't worry, it wouldn't take much for him to return to how he was before. At least externally.]

If you're wondering about the Death Star, I'm willing to tell you what I know.

[What he remembers, rather, which isn't much. But he has paid attention to Luke and Leia, who know far more about the subject.]

I'm glad it's gone and you should be too.

[When does he get to throttle Sidious again?]

flightforfreedom

[ PRIVATE: It's nearly 3 in the morning when Poe finds himself outside the porter building. Usually he would make a series of phone calls, but the late hour means he just sends texts. So his closest friends will get a brief text message that says simply: ]

i'm back

[ PUBLIC: The next morning he makes a post on the network itself, for everyone. He's on video, standing outside his home - Base One - just outside Nonah. And he looks annoyed. ]

So. Firstly, uh, hey everyone, I'm back. So that's the good news.

The bad news is, the company I hired to handle my affairs in case of a terminal port out have really fucked up. They had instructions to send out some stuff if I was gone for over a month. Which, well, I wasn't - two weeks is not a month - but they went and sent them all anyway.

So uh - if any of you got packages from me? Please just ignore them?

For everyone else, I would advise avoiding "Just Will It" to handle your affairs. I thought it was neat that they had a special "imPorts only Port-Out Package", but apparently they have no idea what the hell they are doing.

If anyone has advice for how to better handle this kind of thing, I'm all ears. Because my set up did not go according to plan. Is there an import-run business for this sort of thing? Maybe they would get that sending my will out early would be a piss-poor move.

prophesiedone

[So after a three month hiatus from the network - at least with him beginning any communication or broadcasting - Anakin comes back with a single question. The reason why this remains text is because he doesn't trust his emotions right now; he feels more lost than ever and more guilty than ever. He can't hide from this world or any other, unfortunately. Sometimes he wishes he could lose himself, for a little while, in a dark, quiet place where no thought or emotion could intrude.]

If you want to relax, where do you go?

[A bubble bath or a night sky strewn with stars won't quite cut it anymore.]

I'll go to the other end of this planet for peace. I can't hold onto it in any of these cities and I've tried.

[But he has caused so much strife with his family, it really is no wonder he can't settle down in the midst of them.]

jadus

[Following Jadus' conversation with Kylo Ren, he sees no reason not to go public with the information he has.]

Ronan Lynch is the cause of the anomaly affecting the East Coast. He is believed to have been involved in an attempt to gather intelligence on Atropos. This has led to a power malfunction that will continue to worsen without intervention.

Lynch acts as a conduit between minds. While he is able to make these connections, he cannot control you through it, and is subordinate to the minds he touches. But your secrets are not safe, not from him or from others he has connected to you.

Through him, thoughts can be made real. It can give you strength, but it can also manifest things you never wish to face.

His powers have the potential to be useful in future. But for now, they are a mortal threat. Some may wish to contain him, but know that only destroying him will end the connection he creates.

Kylo Ren is with him. By the link you all share, you may find them. And may you do what is necessary to end this anomaly, before it brings doom to us all.

Hey. Has uh anyone heard from Kanan? Like today. Or yesterday. Recentlyish.

[He sighs, not quite sure why he's doing this. He must seem like he's overreacting, but-]

He missed our lesson today which has literally never happened.

[Here, at least. Here for Ezra right now happens to be NeoJedha in Maurtia Falls. He's about to end the message when he realizes this is technically the first time he's posted on his own while not pretending to be Palpatine's nephew or something like that.]

I'm Ezra, by the way. I know it lists my name, but I feel like I should say it anyways? I don't know. If you know something, let me know. Thanks.

articulations

This needs to stop. Back and forth, back and forth; that's all it is. [ A hand waves about. ] It's like one big game, and boy am I getting really tired of it.

How is anyone expected to live a life here if they keep getting ported out? How is anyone expected to carry on with their life back home when they keep getting taken from it?

[ It was as soon as the camera was enabled that she goes off on her rant, pacing in her kitchen with a glass of juice in hand, and Lothcats be damned is Princess Leia mad. Mad to be back? Mad that she was sent away in the first place? ]

Why take something or someone away from you, while you're here, only to send you back home to them and give you, I don't know, days or weeks with them, and then you're back here. Without–

[ The sound of glass cracking can be heard before it abruptly snaps in her grasp, liquid spilling to the linoleum floor. Muttered swearing, a harsh exhale, and she turns halfway away from view to block the injury out but not without extending her uninjured hand to her device. Smoothly it moves through the air to her and nothing else is said or seen before it's turned off. ]

prophesiedone

[Anakin is somewhere in Jeopardy, leaning against a building with his hands in his pockets.]

So...those of you labeled as "villains"...

Does it bother you? Have you been treated differently because of it? Actions do speak louder than words, which means, of course, if you haven't acted on it, most people probably don't even know.

[He looks away, surveying something to his left with a critical eye.]

Can a "villain" become a "hero"? [The quotation marks are implied with his voice. Anakin doesn't think much of the ranking system, yet it's all correct, isn't it.]

[Private to Luke]

What happened? [He knows something is very wrong, but the details are murky.] Do you need me?

[/]

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, figure I'll ask here anyways

They got my name wrong? I tried like telling them as soon as I got the papers and all that, no one listened and yeah now I'm here.

I was trying to mess with my comm, buuuut pretty sure it'll affect this message too so ugh

if you've had this happen, know someone it's happened to, or even just know how to change it on network, I'd really appreciate the help!

Other than that I don't have much to say??? I'm new here? Nice to meet you?

- Sheev Palpatine

(signing this message because of obvious reasons)

[Look when you lie about your name on a regular basis and a network you're not super familiar with automatically puts down people's names... you obviously just have to come up with even more intricate lies.]

hatejakku

[ Finn's not thrilled about using the network considering who all is on it, but he also sees no other way to reach out to people on a large scale. There might be a little spite there, too, though. The fact that some people from the First Order might see isn't going to hold him back.

But he is definitely, 100%, going to text this one out, though. Totally not for the sake of thinly veiled and slightly illusionary anonymity. Not at all. ]

This is my first time being on Earth, but a friend tells me that I was here for a long time several months ago. I don't remember any of it.

He said that it was something like other versions of ourselves? Is that the general idea or are there more theories? Apparently, this happens almost regularly, so I'm sorry if this has been answered a million times before. But does the Porter have to the ability to take the individual from different dimensions? Or is it doing something to us during the transfer that was unintended?

I also have no idea what to do about the people who knew me before. I'd like to reconnect with them, but I don't know how or if they'd even want to, all things considered. Can't say I blame them if my friend's theory is right.

[ He could always flash his face around on the network and ask everyone if they recognize this man, but, eh, he'd rather not. If they know the name and that he's been gone, people could probably put the links together, he figured.

Then, after thinking about those he'd already met, he added: ] And do all of the imPorts have a military background or is that just everyone I've run into so far?

therewillbeorder

[It's been a rough week but when the video switches on he's composed, sitting on the couch at home. A mug can be seen off to the side- strong coffee has been what has been getting him through everything. To anyone looking closely, there are dark smudges under his eyes and his posture isn't as stiff as usual.

He cleared his throat before speaking, shifting on the couch.] I'm sure some of you have been assigned ridiculous jobs upon your arrival so I am offering an alternative. I've taken on a few more clients so I need someone to help in the office and with clients.

It's a full-time position, full benefits. No need to make balloon animals or write ridiculous poetry or something else equally inane- the job only entails scheduling meetings, paperwork, and helping the office operate smoothly. Feel free to contact me privately for an interview.

[There is a pause as he gathers his thoughts, taking a drink from the mug. He's pretty much running on caffeine at this point and it's not just coffee in that mug.]

On an unrelated note, I've found myself with some unexpected free time and in my year and a half on this primitive planet, I feel like I haven't had a chance to learn a great deal about this world so I am looking for recommendations- places to see, things to read. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

patchricide

[This one might seem like a strange video feed.]

[The camera is focused on Allura, lying in bed, sound asleep. With an emphasis on sound — her body is not just still, but actually appears to be motionless, as if not even shallow breathing is disturbing this deep rest.]

[Her expression is calm and yet... not content? There's something sad playing on her features, as if she's slightly in pain, but too tired to properly show it.]

[The camera rests on this, as if she might disappear at any moment. Or, more accurately, if lingering on this view is meant to add to the drama factor of this particular post...]

[... ... ...]

[And then—]

HATCHOO!!

[Her whole body flinches with an aggressive, un-dainty sneeze. It's followed by two more—] HATCHOO!! HATCHOO!!! [— and then Allura sits up, grumbling and groaning, her cheeks flush, her sparkling rainbow eyes now red and bleary. And that's not even touching on her hair. It's normally voluptuous, but after having spent the better part of the day in bed, she has a remarkable case of bedhead that's causing the fluffy curls to go everywhere.]

[She blows her nose, finishes a glass of water that was sitting on her nightstand, and flops back down on the pillows with a soft groan.]

I didn't think there was an Earth virus that Alteans could catch. I hope this fever breaks before I start breaking out in spots...

[This is a public service announcement: Please vaccinate your aliens. We don't want them catching any viruses, bacteria, or other unsavory entities.]

The whole point of Christmas today is presents and money; something we Imports possess more of than most.

Now, how do you feel about sharing both around? The Heropa Women's Shelter is throwing a celebration and I'm seeking donations. Christmas can be a difficult time for those whose lives have been torn apart by the trauma of abuse. How perfect would it be if we made this season a special experience?

All I require is that donations are unwrapped so the women and children here can choose and wrap their presents for that extra personal touch.

The shelter's address is at the bottom of this post. If you care, gift a little something.

articulations

[ Baskets. So many baskets. Some are wrapped in cellophane, topped with simple ribbons, and others were left open, half filled. Toys, blankets, towels, socks, small bags of toiletries, necessities— it was all there and ready to be handed out. Included among it all was food, handled baskets of non-perishables.

The camera spans around and Leia appears to address the network, smiling. ]

Good evening. As of today there are roughly two and a half weeks until Christmas. As you can see— [ She turns the camera to face the many baskets that take up most of her living room, every surface. What hasn't been sorted yet into a bundle of goods, stacks sit, plastic bags bulging, there's stuffed animals, cardboard boxes of food, cans, more clothes for adults and children. ] —I'm not even halfway through sorting it all out. The plan is to hand everything out to the families in need. To the orphanages. To ensure that the less fortunate have a chance to enjoy Christmas and to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner.

[ What wasn't pictured: the chest freezer containing hams and turkeys. ]

Is there anyone who would be interested in assisting me with finishing the rest of these baskets? I'm also looking for extra hands to help with the deliveries, this request includes drivers. And if anyone wishes to add to the gifts by donating anything they can, that would be greatly appreciated as well.

I can be reached at any time, should anyone have questions.

prophesiedone

[Earth clothes suit Anakin somehow, but he still refuses to cut his hair and you can't make him, Dad. He is dressed casually and he is walking down a side street. While he had enjoyed being a mechanic before, he has found a new, interesting line of work.]

Opportunities are more plentiful than I thought. I'm going to have to trust my ability to read others for my new job, so it will be good practice. [But. BUT. He has to be careful. He can't close his eyes to any questionable ethics.]

Wish me luck?

[Private to Padmé, Luke, Leia, Kylo, Hux & Rex.]

How are we spending the holidays? In a food coma? I'm not a bad cook; I think I could handle a ham or turkey if that sounds appetizing.

[He smiles faintly, amused.] We'll need wine too and plenty of it. Just to keep the order.

bloodprayer

what's the worst thing you've ever done? did you ever find forgiveness for it? redemption?

and - what's the worst thing that's ever been done to you?
did you forgive whoever hurt you? if you haven't yet, what would it take for you to do it?

ralltiir

[ The network ID attached to this one says "Commander Jeroen Akobi," advertising his military rank even though he forewent the Imperial uniform just about as soon as he was set loose upon this planet. Instead, there appears a handsome man in his forties in smart casual attire, haircut just the long side of regulation, facial hair game on point. He's got an affable smile on his face, though it doesn't quite reach his eyes. ]

These jobs they assign you when you arrive are a joke, right? I mean, I'm no specialist, but I've got more marketable skills than "mustache model." Are there any procedures in place for putting in a request for a new position? Because posing for pictures might be a good way to make some side money, but I'd prefer something that actually requires some thought and effort.

fightforcause

I'm told this is the best way to connect with other people who are in a similar situation.

[There's a young man looking tired and worn out on the screen. Cassian isn't sure what he's supposed to say on this thing, and he doesn't know if he wants to say anything, but.]

From looking through this network I've seen that I've... been here before. [And it shocks him, he's still shocked.] I don't remember it. I don't remember this place at all. The last thing I remember is--

[He cuts himself off. Let's not go into what he last remembers, and Cassian shakes his head.] Has it been like that for anyone else? Leaving here, then coming back here without any memory of being here before? Does this happen often?

And what the hell is a mystery shopper?

faithfulson

[ And the Skywalker angst train continues, because a face that hasn't been seen in a week decided to show up. ]

...I'm back.

[ Though there's a lot different. Luke looks older; not so much physically, but in the sense that Things Have Happened and he's somehow holding himself together with the mental equivalent of spit and glue. Even that just barely seems to be working; something is clearly wrong, and it's not just the new all black wardrobe. ]

I'm glad not much time has passed here. It's been a year for me, and...

[ Yeah, no; he's not holding it together very well at all. He needs to look away from the camera, visibly taking a few deep breaths, though his voice still wavers a bit when he speaks again: ]

Father, are you still here?

[ Responses to anyone other than Anakin will probably take a couple hours to happen. He just really needs his father to be alive and not dying in his arms right now. ]
