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.

[ It's around midnight when this gets posted to the Network. While that isn't late for most imPorts, it's quite late for Haru herself. ]

Father's Day is soon. It might be a bit of a ridiculous thought, but I wonder how many of us really reflect on our relationships with our fathers during this time.
To be completely honest, it didn't occur to me how much I would be thinking about it myself. It feels rather silly, but... at the same time I am sure many of us have complex relationships with them.
Mine has long passed, although I can't help but think about all the things left unsaid and undone. He hurt and used people for personal gain, but toward the end he was going to try and make amends for the things he did.
I feel I should be mourning him in spite of everything, though it has been so long I do not even know where to begin.
... I am sorry, does that make sense?

( ooc: haru is no tech expert, so for those who would know how if they want to uncover who anon is, please just ask first. for those who would know/figure out it's haru, feel free to have them ask. )

[The feed shows a young boy - 12 at the most - sitting at a desk and carefully centered in the picture. His blond hair is so light that it's nearly white, and his eyes match the sky blue of his button-down shirt. He hasn't buttoned the top, but even if he had it wouldn't have been enough to hide his most notable feature - a number tattooed on his neck, starting at the center and wrapping around the left: 22194. His hands are folded neatly in front of him, and he has a small smile on his face. The picture of a reliable, trustworthy child. Or so he hopes. It would've worked on Mama, back when Mama had any reason to trust him. Who knows about the adults here?]

Hello! [The smile widens, becomes brighter.] My name's Norman, I just got here a few days ago. I've been reading back, and I think I have an idea of what's going on. Though some things just got more confusing! [He laughs. If it sounds a bit forced, well, he did plan out the whole post.] The worlds people are from are really different, aren't they?

[The laugh fades away, and the smile follows.] I do have a question. I know that trying to do anything with the Porter can be...difficult. But has anyone tried to influence it to bring certain people in?

[He's trying to seem serious, but calm. His face gets that across, with an expression that's intent but cool. Anyone who looks down at his hands, though, will notice that his knuckles have gone white.]

If you're looking for a cool place to cut loose and have some fun, you should check out Holy Rollers Skating Rink and Arcade in Maurtia Falls. They're getting new games in soon and until then I challenge you to come see if you can beat my scores on a game of your choice.

Or maybe you'd prefer skating. If you don't know how, I'll teach you at no charge. It's a blast!

[Jason doesn’t bother to go with video, because why the hell would he put his face out there for everyone to see when he has no idea who knows who he is. Even his ego isn’t that big. So he keeps it to voice and wants to put out the feelers. A couple days to look around at his surroundings, he thinks he needs more information. What better way to do it than to ask?]

I don’t know what’s worse, the creepy fan culture for the "heroes" or the job program that gives you the worst freaking possible match-up they can. Like they think it’s cute. Not sure that’s going to work out, but a D+ for trolling effort.

Someone tell me there’s real fun to being dragged into another universe, because right now I may as well be dying of boredom.

[Again.]

So!

[ On your screen is a slightly too-skinny teenager with bleached blond hair dangling loosely to his shoulders and a frown on his face. ]

Now— and I'm not saying this did happen, but.... Okay, so you know how you show up, blah blah blah, a bunch of guys in suits talk to you, hand you a folder, and tell you, "So we totally hooked you up with a job, you should totally go and get some quick cash that way." That thing?

[ Katou rubs the back of his neck. ]

Sssssoooo.... If you get fired on the first day, do they.... give you a new job? Or is this just a, "congratulations you're fucked!" sort of thing we're going with here?

[ Merle's been to a lot of new worlds in the past hundred and change years. So he knows that part of adapting to a new world is to immerse yourself in its culture, provided it has one. Study the classics, as it were.

Which is why the scene in this video might look somewhat familiar to some music loving imPorts. (It's not in black and white, though, because Merle hasn't figured out how to do camera filters on his phone.) A lone dwarf stands in a decrepit Maurtia Falls alley, a homeless person who looks a lot like a rabbi standing in the background warming his hands over a barrel fire. (Merle may or may not have hired an actual rabbi for the role.) A folksy guitar riff is playing from somewhere offscreen. In the foreground, the dwarf holds up a stack of white signs each with one word hand written on them in dark permanent marker.

The first sign reads, I. He lets it fall, revealing the sign behind it.

This one reads, THINK. Like the sign before it, this too falls to the ground.

The next sign reads, DOGS.

The next, SHOULD.

Then, finally, VOTE.

He says nothing, letting the last sign linger before it, too, falls to the ground. Then he just sort of... stands there looking proud of himself before scurrying over to the camera to turn off the video. ]

(( So, okay, going into a random world that is a little like America but not quite is enough to bring a normal kid on the edge. But not Marco. Well, maybe a little. But at least it's not like bad version of Earth where the Yeerks won. Here it's worse: the beatniks have won the cultural wars. Awful.

Still, Marco is nothing if not resourceful. And clever. And handsome. And very, very, cute and funny. He blends in well enough, and he didn't even have to morph for that.

Instead of signing in with his name, he makes this message under the most heroic superhero name he could think of that applies for him easily: The Magnificent. ))

For the love of God, please tell me Bob Marley is still kicking here. If we got Beach Boys riding in the airways, we got to have Bob Marley.

(( Marco's first post on the network is not, "Help, I need to find my parents! Their names are Peter and Eva, though Mom's got a alien slug in her brain but you wouldn't be able to tell. I'm looking for my friends Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Ax, though Tobias is a hawk and Ax is a blue centaur alien." He's not that stupid. No, he's gonna be stupid, because that's what people expect from a fourteen-year-old.

And in the meantime, he's going to find exactly what is going on here. ))

[ Video starts with a LOT of smoke. The camera moves a bit until there is finally Steve's face looking pretty angry, and finally he lets you see a microwave in flames wrapped around one of Steve's force fields, so the smoke won't escape ]

It looks like we need some help since some dipshit keeps blowing up our microwave every time he uses it. [ and he looks back at Mike, clearly blaming him for everything ] And I mean every time - every day. Again and again and again. [ this timeloop continues to frustrate him ]

Someone teach him how to use a microwave because he won't listen to me.

[ when the camera shifts again, it's to show Mike Wheeler raising a defiant middle finger at Steve ]

It's not my fault! The microwave's shit and you won't go buy a new one!

[ Steve reaches to grab the communicator, which causes the feed to stop, but before it does, you can still hear him going- ] Why do I gotta pay for shit you break, you-

Let's say some guy is looking for the perfect hair. What substitute for Fabergé Organics shampoo and conditioner, and Farrah Fawcett spray is there? Because I know they existed at some point. [ Steve isn't obvious I don't know what you are talking about ]

Less related to amazing hair, what did you guys want to do after school? Like, what job did you want? What kind of future, I guess? I don't mind my job right now, but I kinda realize it's not a career.

[The video post begins with utter darkness, with faint mumbling in the background. Then, everything brightens as Clint takes his thumb off of the camera and turns it to face him.]

Hey, uh, everyone...out there. I have a question about some weird ass shit, to put it simply. So, I know a lot of you folks have enhanced abilities, or 'superpowers', 'gifts', 'cool shit', whatever you call it, and I'm hoping someone can tell me what the hell I'm doing here?

[He makes reaching gestures with his hands as he describes exactly what's happened to himself.]

So, earlier I was trying to figure out how to work the damn tv here, and I dropped the remote beside my chair. I was reaching around for it when I felt...ok, it...it felt like reaching assways into a jam full of bees. You know, like a sock filled with dice and nail clippings? Man, I dunno, it felt weird. But, even weirder is what I came back with, and it wasn't even the damn remote!

[Clint reaches down and picks up a strange looking glove, waving it in front of the camera.]

Look! It's a goddamn archery glove! And it perfectly fits! What the hell was this doing next to my chair? This is weird, right? This can't just be me thinking it's strange.

[He sighs, and shrugs to the camera.}

Or, maybe it is just me, and I'm getting too old for this. I knew I shoulda retired when they even mentioned a helicarrier...

The year is 2018 and the Red Scare is alive and kicking. Worlds collide as we're brought here under mysterious circumstances, given gifts we couldn't dream to prepare for. Trapped without hope for escape we ask ourselves - will we ever see our homes again? Our loved ones? Will we embrace our new lives and is it a question of when - not if - that these powers turn on us? So many questions, and yet the biggest mystery is something else entirely.

Best burger joint. Give me your suggestions. Bonus points for cheap menus.

[When the camera clicks on, at first all you can see is the beach, and the water lapping at the sand. A moment later, there's a red-headed girl on your device's screen, and there's a bright smile spread across her face - one that even her friends back home haven't really been privy to up to this point. She looks happy.

She hasn't been away from California and the beach for all that long back home but in some ways it feels like it's been an eternity. And okay, this isn't California, but it's still the beach and the ocean, and this is her element. But it's not just that. She's in a different world entirely, and while that possibility had never really occurred to her before a couple days ago when Lucas started telling her about the Upside Down, she knows he was telling the truth. Not just because she's seen monsters from another dimension, but because now she's in one herself. And she has freaking super powers.

So maybe Nancy Wheeler has no idea who she is because of some weird time thing she doesn't really understand. It's okay.

She's not home anymore. She can breathe.]

Okay so I missed the warmest part of the day but that's okay because the beach isn't going anywhere, right? Plus it's still in the seventies, which is way better than the forties. [Aka, back in Indiana. She's seriously contemplating camping out on the beach tonight just so she can watch the sunrise in the morning.]

Does anyone here surf? I was starting to learn back home before I moved. I can offer free skateboarding lessons in return for any takers.

We are having real food tonight, shitheads.

[ Steve rises a bucket of Illinois Fried Chicken

And he absolutely doesn't know how to work with a network and make this private to just a couple of people. ]
