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.

Listen up people of Earth, this is Cayde-6 speaking. First point of order: I have been informed that I'm your new Gun Safety Campaign Spokesman and I am very happy to keep your guns safe. Safe with me because my gun didn't make the trip and I'm feeling so very, very, very naked without it. If anyone can give me a loaner I'll owe ya big time.

Point number two: Just ... think of this as one of those ice-breaking exercises. You know the ones where everybody's awkward and doesn't wanna talk but you gotta answer some stupid question? One of those. Just. Just out of idle curiosity: what is your favorite thing about Earth? It can be anything, doesn't matter how small. In fact, it might be the small things that are the most important. Asking for a friend who isn't used to seeing it so ... intact.

[He counts out his fingers to four, thinks again, and subtracts one.]

Aaand number three: gimme the skinny on good places to eat around Maurita Falls? Extra points for good ramen joints. And I mean the real stuff, none of that instant business.

[ 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?

flightforfreedom

[ Hello network. When the video first comes on, all that's really visible is the ceiling, and the audio is a soft, gentle snore. A second later, however, a spherical white and orange droid rolls into view, looming over the camera. He beeps a hello in Binary, though the meaning translates well enough regardless, and then proceeds to type using a tiny extendable arm onto Poe's communicator. ]

Network query: How best to make idiot human happy?

Additional optional query: How many have idiot humans?

Additional request: How best to delete network messages and/or bribe communication devices to not show them.

Thank you.

Is this really it?

[The half-incredulous tone of a guy who is obviously gearing up for an impassioned speech of some sort, but still valiantly fighting the urge.]

A handful of paperwork, [and here he holds up his own file folder,] a mark on the wrist, and an assignment to placate us?

[Someone's vlogging, because as he walks past a nearby burn barrel he tosses his file into it and doesn't even watch the sparks fly up as he continues on his way. Something about symbolically burning the whole damn thing down to the ground comforts Markus enough that he moves on from suggesting outright revolt. For now.]

I'm not moving into a stranger's home, so no one living in De Chima #004 has to worry about a new roommate. And if anyone would like to be a dating app developer, the position is currently up for grabs.

Anyone of a like mind, I'd appreciate your perspective.

[ the feed opens up with what looks like the aisle in a store, devoted to a section of what looks like anxiety/fidget toys. there's a pause, and a hand reaches into the feed, picking up a familiar cube for some, turning it as the owner of the hand clearly examines it dubiously. ]

Someone suggested I pick one of these up-- [ for anxiety, though cassian doesn't offer that information. it's probably implied anyway. ] --but it seems a little silly to me. Has anyone else used.. things like this?

[ it's nothing he couldn't ask privately of people, or research, but well.. attempts at normalcy are being made. ]

We don't have these where I'm from. [ a beat. ] Well.. perhaps they existed before the war, or they're used on wealthy planets. I'm not sure. [ it's not like he's ever had the luxury of mental healthcare before. ]

reexamined

[The video opens up on an almost artistic shot- in the center of the video is a single furby on a pedestal. There’s nothing else around to distract the eye, so one must focus on this brightly colored toy. Soon, K-2SO approaches the furby, which awakens when picking up movement, and lets out a weird babbling sound. K-2SO then immediately makes a fist, and crushes the furby, horrifyingly slow, with the preciseness of a hydraulic press. The audio of the fake creature warbles and glitches, as the crunch of technology eventually stops once it’s as close to a pancake it’ll get.

K-2 then looks back to the camera.]

That’s all I wanted to do. Consider this an ‘advertisement.’ I have a BlueTube channel of similar content- specifically, the destruction of these toys. It’s very popular.

I’ve found that American entertainment typically centers around very basic themes. Destruction being one of them. This is suitable to me, because I also enjoy destroying things. I’m taking suggestions for new things to destroy for my ‘show.’

[Yeah, that’s it. What did you expect, some kind of philosophical question?]

wronganswer

Hey.

My name is Cassandra Anderson, and I'm going to be starting to provide a service through Dr. Chilton's hospital for anyone interested. I'm a trained psychic. I can read minds, and the Porter gave me the ability to heal mental trauma. In a few weeks I'll be ready to take on people who would like to try that out as part of their treatment.

I'm not a therapist, but I can promise I won't share with anyone what I see, and I won't be shocked.

Let me know if you're interested. And thanks to the people who helped me practice. Anyone else... I'm open to questions.

I was here before. I don't remember it. I've gone through my network presence, but that's limited information. [ he's also beginning to slowly gather information from people like kay and poe, but well-- ] Apologies to those that knew me.

[ admittedly, even putting himself out on the network like this is enough to trigger his well-developed paranoia, but he has to start somewhere if he intends to get.. better. ]

Additionally, a question for those who've been in active, sustained conflict; in particular, those deployed multiple times into warzones. Do you have tips for living a civilian life? Things that have worked for you to help you adjust, books that are worth a read on the subject, even problems you've had to deal with.

subroutined

[ Ash has been having a bit of an identity crisis lately. Between K-2SO telling him he was making decisions independent of his programming, and discussing with Kylo how he isn't sure whether to consider his experiences as separate from those of the real, human Ash Starmer... He could do with a bit of advice.

That said, he's wary. He doesn't want to ask for advice as himself. So he creates a proxy identity using a dummy IP address and posts the following anonymous message. ]

Let's say you were made for a purpose: to be a certain way or to do a certain thing. If you started doing other things, or making decisions that led you in a different direction than the one you're meant to follow, is that good or bad? Does it mean you've failed in your purpose? Or have you grown as a person?

Is individuality acceptable when it's not what you were meant for?

candor1

[ooc disclaimer: After going back and forth, and getting some very helpful feedback, I've decided to go ahead with this post, as a character beat I need to address before moving into more open/easy-to-tag territory. This truly is IC. Any and all responses if wanting to opt-in completely welcome including negative CR ones. I'm not in crisis OOC. <3 Thank you all so much for the feedback and concrit and support. I'm interested in leaving the opportunity for anyone else who might want to engage with this, but if anyone at all would prefer I move it to a private message to the scenepartners who've already consented, I will do so immediately. Thanks again <3 ]

( content warning: suicidal talk. Transmission intended only for K-2SO. Broadcast power on the fritz also sends it to Poe Dameron—and anyone else who wants to op in if fully interested but no pressure whatsoever )

pillz

hey so when does someone deserve to die?

[an academic question from a serial killer and sometimes arsonist, don't worry about it.]

candor1

( broadcast mind: bye, jyn )

[OOC: as ever, what's going on is this. Can apply to everything including waking bit. His responses will be only slightly delayed 'til after he comes back with a cup of caf.

P.S. to skip repeating mourning already done, might be treating Jyn's return from her port-out as not having literally happened—more of a saying goodbye dream/spiritual/thing. Since that's different from anyone else, not confronting it IC would be convenient?

P.P.S. If it helps catch a char.'s interest, Lyyxo is a Rodian]

vanto

[Eli looks at the camera, rubs his neck trying not to feel so awkward.]

After a few things, I've been thinking about relationships. [pause] Romantic ones. They're important, I get that.

But why — [He looks a little bit frustrated.] — do I have to answer my marital status if I want to get one of those shopping points cards. You know those ones where you gather five stars or whatever and you get a free drink.

[He waves a piece of paper that has been partially filled out. One of the questions is a 'tick the right box' choice with the following labels: single, dating, married, divorced.]

Do they really need to know these things?

reexamined

Hello everyone. I am K-2SO.

[An introduction, because he hasn't actually posted to the Network himself in a while.]

I have an announcement to make.

[Does it have anything to do with the recent Jedi drama??? Maybe Padme getting elected??

No.

Instead he puts on display a picture of Skeets.]

This is Skeets. He is objectively perfect. He also is my boyfriend now.

I just wanted everyone to know. That is all.

[Yeah, he's basically just doing this. He's pretty happy right now, which might be why he's making such a dumb post. But let him just have this once, okay?]

perfectible

[ Betty is back! After the fourth night in a row of nightmares reliving being stalked by a masked serial killer, Betty is at her wit's end. It's time to get help. Things back home are Not Okay. She can't wrap her head around the fact that she's safe here. She's sitting outside in one of the fields at the Meadows.

Her mother would hate this, this public display of weakness but Betty does her best to do the opposite of what her mother wants nowadays.]

Does anyone have the name of a therapist or counselor here that they'd recommend?

[ The smile she manages is small and exhausted. ]

I'd really appreciate it, thank you.

articulations

[ The message comes out late at night that Leia doesn't expect anyone to be awake to answer. She's pulling a Han right now; the man has a terrible habit of sending these late night texts out. Looks like she's learned from the best of the best.

There's a catch, however, and it's that Leia's locked this from any immediate family and friends*. She doesn't need the extra worry. Doesn't want anyone camping out on her front step. She might have missed someone, going through the directory this late, though. ]

I've spent the last hour trying to go back through what's available. I've also tried browsing what's online. It hasn't worked out so well.

What I'm looking for are remedies. Something that works in helping someone fall asleep and stay asleep without waking every two hours.

When I say remedies, I mean the kind that come in the form of personal experience. If you've had trouble keeping a sleep schedule, please, share what works for you?

( *out of the cast, this post is locked from Luke, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padmé, Hux, Finn, Kanan, Poe, Kylo, Lando. Anyone else in the cast directory wasn't locked out and receives the message/can reply/can pass it on. )

kanyounot

[ Hello, everyone. Tonight, Kanan's surroundings look a little... different than usual. He's definitely not in Florida. Instead, he's in what appears to be the warm and cozy kitchen of a warm and cozy log cabin, probably in a snowy forest somewhere, like something out of a fairy tale. A nice, romantic one, anyway.

He's seated at the kitchen table, mask off, face bare as his hands cradle a mug of something hot - cocoa, or coffee, or tea. He looks thoughtful. ]

So, I'm not usually the sort to do stuff like this, but I'm - hm. [ He scratches absently at his beard. ]

I don't really have anyone I can ask, privately. So I guess I'm gonna just put it out there. I want to do something for the person I love. I want to show her - you know. I want to show her.

[ He waves a hand vaguely at the surroundings. ] We got out of town for a bit, but I don't know. I guess I'm hunting for more ideas. More than just... buying a gift.

nobody cares about your shitty galaxy

get a job

[Who has two thumbs and a BAC over 9000? This gal.]

candor1

[ooc: sorry for two BCMs in one month… realized this is the perfect way to have this much-wanted conversation with multiple era-appropriate characters! Definitely OOC fishing for Clone Wars era-perspective but OTA!]

( i've learned how to paint my face how to earn my keep how to clean my kill / some nights i still can't sleep the past rolls back i can see us still / you've learned how to hold your own how to stack your stones but the history's thick / children aren't as simple as we'd like to think )
