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.

fireandhoney

[The video at first has an image of a grey-skinned elf upside down. The image is quickly turned rightside up. In addition to the grey skin, his eyes, both the iris and sclera, are red, and he has blue markings tattooed on his face. When he speaks, he has an accent that most would recognize as English.]

Okay, I think I got it. I don’t know how, but I got it!

Ahem, anyway. My name’s Finn, and I happen to be the Dragonborn. That means I have a dragon’s soul and I can kill people by yelling at them. Breathing fire, ice, that sort of thing. I would demonstrate, but I don’t want to spend all day fixing any holes in the wall or putting out a fire.

Anybody know where I can get some art supplies? Pencils, parchment, that sort of thing. Better yet, where can I get some tea and honey? Tell me this world has honey.

4thdimensional

[Doc sits in a room stockpiled with inventions. Crafted clocks, blenders, and a single hoverboard hovering at the side of the frame. It's a bit of a mess, but he's been busy. His smile's lopsided but just slightly cautious.]

I once thought I was too old to have a midlife crisis. How foolish I was! Though in hindsight, my entire scientific career of the past thirty years was one long shining example.

I have one powerful light in my life to guide me, but little else---only distant memories. I'm a little late to make a new year's resolution, but here it is: to take the risk of reaching out to the community again. I used fear and doubt as excuses to live in isolation for most of my life, and the moment my new life here hit a few snags I slipped back into that old pattern. Predictable, but disappointing.

So...hello again. I'm Emmett Brown, one of your many neighborhood mechanics...and for the thrill seekers among you, I've just restocked the hoverboards.

And I'm also seeking a brave dog-sitter, if anyone is interested. You'll be compensated well for your time, of course.

[He closes by pointing the camera over to the dogs in question---two white Samoyeds, all smiles, looking proud that they haven't made a mess today.]

divaricate

[Well, here's a VERY unimpressed-yet-annoyed looking Wanda, freshly back from the dead as of a couple days ago. Her phone is levitating a few short feet away from her, her chin resting on the palm of her left hand, with her thumb, index, and middle fingers resting against her cheek, the other two fingers curled up against her palm and cheek. There are scarlet colored, magical-looking wisps dancing around her fingertips.]

I'm certain this is old news to most of you, but given that I was too sick and then too dead to give my two cents on the matter by the time it escalated, I have some advice for anyone who wants to try poking at the porter again:

[A pause. A very annoyed pause.]

For fuck's sake, just don't. It's way more trouble than it's worth and, on top of that, actually detrimental, if last month's "inconveniences" -- [do you hear the sarcasm and air quotes in her voice at that word? because you should, as it's very heavy and obvious] -- were anything to judge by.

[So, that's her opinion on that; which is basically a whole lot of this.

She cuts the video abruptly there.]

[riptide has a towel on his head. he might also be naked but the camera doesn't show anything below his shoulders. you're welcome, new fans.]

Hey, we're back from space. Looks like everything is on fire? Cool. I'm at a spa. Hope you enjoyed the show? I think I'm meant to say that.

[he shrugs.]

Uh, back to the fire that's on everything. What did you guys do? [he hasn't been paying attention.] Also, who wants to come out for a booze up? I'll accept anyone who wants to ignore their problems but if you drop dead I will definitely deliver a very embarrassing eulogy.

what's your relationship with your parent(s) if you got them?

do you wish they were here with you if they aren't?
or are you glad they're not?

and if you're a parent
at what point do you trust your kid enough to tell them things
even if those things are not so pretty and they've seen way more than they already should?

or do you think there's things they don't need to know
even if they just want to help you?

shutterbugged

Here's a question for my fellow long-timers, and medium-timers too: has living in this universe changed you? Whether it's through experiences, culture, the people you've met -- do you think you're fundamentally different, on a scale small or large, from the person you would've been if you'd never been grabbed by the Porter? And if the answer's yes, how does that change make you feel?

I just realized today at lunch that I like meat in jello now and I am horrified and ashamed of myself.

4thdimensional

Is it better to have loved and lost, or to have never loved at all?

[Doc's sitting in a Heropa park on an autumn day, all bundled up. Two white fluffballs are curled around his feet.]

I've found that my answer varies depending on which side of the fence I'm currently occupying. But it's not a new dilemma by any stretch. All joys, all relationships in life are fleeting and will end at some point---here, it seems, change occurs with a swiftness not often seen elsewhere.

Hi, it's Manabu.
Sorry--I think this is easier than sending the same message a bunch of times...

Probabtion ends next week. Shortly after that, the Nonah police academy decides whether or not I can continue enrollment and training. I heard that unless something catastrophic happens, my chances are pretty good. I HAVE been trying to work extra hard, so we'll see...
(And I guess saying "there's no chance something CATASTROPHIC can happen" is silly, given the way things happen here...)

In any case, thank you to everyone who's been rooting for me. I appreciate your support. Maybe all that good energy has a way of making things turn out better in the end...
Or at least, maybe I'll have a chance to do something MORE than just cleaning up lawns and digging up old plants...
If I CAN help, you can always let me know.

That's all!
Thanks.

knaval

kind of funny how the stupid human govt here drags their organic feet on space stuff except when they can get entertainment (sending people up) out of it, right? everyone tell me your conspiracy theories about this personally i think when we're all up there they'll blow us up or something and call it a malfunction

[whereas riptide is confident he could survive that, so he's not all bothered.]

littlemissfutility

Um. Hi.

[It's been a long time since she's had much in the way of technology at her fingertips, and it feels weird returning to it. There's not much showing it in her face, however, beyond a slight frown as she stares at the camera; the hesitation is mostly in her voice.

She's a teenager, fine-boned, with two scars framing her eyes and a yellow pashmina scarf wrapped around her neck. There's a slight Southern drawl to her words. They're all coming out like she prepared them in advance.]

I'm Beth. I'm new here. When they brought me in, I got powers, and one of them lets me change scars. Move them around, change their shape. I know a lot of imPorts probably have them, and...you know, maybe you don't like them. If you want, I can make them easier to live with. I won't charge you anything for it.

If you're interested, let me know. I'm in Nonah, but we could meet up someplace else, if it's important to you.

tricksandmischief

My, my. Midgard, is it? It's been a while...

So good of you to call on me. Of course you have need of the services of a god. It is good to see you finally acknowledging that and bringing me here, although I would have liked to have a little more notice.

Next time, send a message first.

But I am here now. Loki, your saviour, has arrived and your troubles shall be no more.

[The one with the golden horned helmet holds his arms out as if accepting the accolades before grinning briefly and awaiting replies.]

microbrobotics

[ So here's a face that might be familiar to some people. A young Japanese teenager squints at the screen with a practiced ease that indicates he's used this sort of tech before. Because he totally has, even if he's frowning a little bit. ]

Man, couldn't they have given me my old comm? The default loadout sucks...

[ A burst of static as he fiddles with something; the feed cuts out for a second before it returns, this time at a slightly wider angle. He's already spread out a whole array of miscellaneous parts across the floor of his room in Heropa #12. Just. Junk as far as the eye can see. ]

Two questions: is the Lucky Cat Café still standing? And who the heck has my toolbot? They wiped my tracker software. Unbelievable. This is a pain in the--

[ Another moment of static as Hiro takes a minute to search for something. ]

Anyway, I'm Hiro Hamada and I'm amazing. If you need something insane built, I guarantee you I can build it. Reasonable rates. Discounts for anything AWESOME or explosive.

d33tached

Given what you've experienced in this world, would you return to your own if given the choice?

generalgrievous

[The grim looking cyborg form of Grievous appears on the network and it seems that he has something serious and important to say.]

This will be the--

[But he abruptly stops speaking; instead wheezing and letting out a loud cough. Then he coughs again. And again. He attempts to speak further and yet another cough interrupts his words. The hacking cough goes on for some frustrating minutes before he finally glares at the screen, lets out a furious growl and cuts off the video.]

fridgeflower

I started thinking on whether Monster Romance is still a thing, so far as being a YA (or regular A??) sub-genre goes. T'is the season, I guess.

Anyway, I now have a question for the masses.

Which Monster Boy and/or Girl would you date?

There's a saturation on the market of vampires and werewolves, and probably demons, but there's a pretty wide selection of spooky love interests that haven't gotten a lot of literary attention.

Please include your list of pros and cons for your selected Monster Mate.

lasersounds

Well, that was...something. [The feed comes alive, showing a rather perplexed looking Lance--and someone might want to note that the Lion at his side is not the old and familiar Blue. No, no. This Lion is a vibrant, deep Red--and it's hovering rather protectively at its Paladin's side.]

I know I'm not the first to be ported out and back again--won't be the last either. It doesn't seem like I've been gone that long as far as the calendar here goes but uh...Someone care to verify that for me? Because it's definitely been more than--[He pauses, counting off "days" on his fingers before looking back at the camera.]--a few quintents back home.

Speaking of. Looks like I have a lot to talk about with everyone from back home--if you all are still around? Seriously guys, check in so I know I'm not going to be some lone warrior in this place.

juniberries

[still in Maurtia Falls, but in an entirely new room from the last set-up she had been in.

and clearly, she seems very put off.]

This teleporter likes to push and pull you every which way, doesn't it? Here I thought I had only been gone for mere milli-ticks, but looking at the calendar it has been...what? A little over a month as you Earthlings would put it?

[an exhale, her expression shifts to something more amicable.]

I suppose a re-introduction is in order, since it has been awhile. I am Princess Allura, daughter of King Alfor and now Paladin of the Blue Lion of Voltron. [sorry Lance...] And I...

[a pause.]

Honestly, I do not wish to work in a pie shop.
