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.

[ Leave it to Zari to stage the perfect first video of herself. With ring lights staged around her room and on her communicator, she flashes a bright smile at the video and wags her fingers. ]

Hello~ Not to, like, add to the numerous introductions being made... But I'm here doing just that. I'm Zari.

[ :D ]

I'm new in town, super exhausting... [ slightly exaggerated and with a playful roll of her eyes ] But that's really neither here nor there. I've been given the job of talent manager for aspiring nik-nak influencers... which like, great. I was super big on CatChat back home and a self made millionaire by 19.

[ And clearly not humble about any of this ]

But- I figure why stop there? I'm sure the Nik-Nak-er's will keep me plenty busy, but I'll be willing to take clients for other gigs too.

[ Another big smile before she clears her throat and holds up one finger. ]

Another thing, before I forget... I totally knew all the hot spots back home- but obvi this is totally different. So I'd super appreciate tips on the best places around here. Until then- [ She winks at the camera and blows a kiss ] super appreciate it.

[Jane appears on the network intentionally this time, and in a much better mood too!]

Hey everyone!

There is going to be a meteor shower this week through the middle of August. There's going to be about twenty five per hour and a number of deep space objects, including the Helix Nebula!

Would anyone be interested? I'll be hosting it at a different location than the university this time, so there's less light pollution.

[OOC: ~~Decided to do this as a network post instead of a log, so feel free to do action threads too!~~ Changed my mind. I am going to do a log, but backdate it so I don't spam ♥]

[ he's clearly in his office at the hospital, with the little clacky balls and the shittons of heavy textbooks in the background. it looks kind of refined, even if josh is sitting with his feet up on his desk and holding his phone loosely in one hand. ]

Soooo... I've been thinking of like, normal, responsible adult things to do on a weekend that are good for everybody annnnnd barbeques seem to be like the standard good time. So I bought a barbeque and the weather is looking good this weekend, so howsabout it? I'll supply the meat, and like, some veggie options but you're in charge of your own booze.

[ a pause, he points at the screen and squints thoughtfully. ]

... Unless you're not old enough to drink. [he draws his hand back. ] Then no booze for you. And I'll know, don't try to sneak it. I'll just get some sparkling lemonade for you or something.

[ he flicks the clacky balls to get them going. ]

Everybody's invited, especially you newbies. It sucks to be new and know nobody, and like, the Swear-Ins are great but I'm not super into the expectation to sign up. I'm Josh, by the way, Josh Foley. I'm "unsettled" [ heavy airquotes" ] And I work in De Chima General, I'm a healer, and I think that about covers it? Lemme know if you're interested and I'll send you an invite with my address.

( For the record, Tony's not always the biggest fan of social media and, from the cursory glance he's given over the network here, his opinion's not likely to change. It can be advantageous, certainly, when hardcore fans of any and all genders aren't sending nudes to his 'gram or flooding the Stark Industries' Facebook with color commentary of Iron Man- forgetting, of course, that SI's been in Pepper's capable hands for years now.

Anyway, less getting off track, more getting into why he's poking around here in the first place.

Here's Tony, poolside with an iced tea. )

Hey there imPorts, new!Stark here with a favor to ask.

( Yeah he already grokked the whole multiples thing. That's not bothering him at all. Ever. Why would it. )

I need to borrow a small acetylene torch ASAP; can anyone bear to part with one for a couple of weeks? No need to schlep it to me; I can pick it up.

Got a bit of a time crunch going so, speak now or forever hold your welding gear. Thanks in advance.

(( ooc: just so I can get to everyone in a timely fashion, I'm officially at my tag-in limit, sorry! ))

[And the screen cuts on to see a red-headed girl with her face a mixture of relief and confusion, muttering before it grows louder]

Heropa? Then, it's not Vale or even near Beacon. What's happened to Beacon, though? There's... there's no way I could have survived. Not with that woman aiming at me... even my heel has healed, though...

[She blinks as she looks down at the screen, noticing it on]

Oh, did I turn this on? I'm sorry, I was...

[She sighs]

...this isn't the afterlife, is it? If it is, then this is a very strange afterlife.

[Toshinori's had this post percolating in his head for a while, but he's been hesitant to talk about it, not in the least because he's sure Midoriya, Momoyao and Present Mic would know right away that it was him and would (rightfully) be upset he didn't talk to them first. Heck, anyone he's told his story to might be able to piece it together.

But he has to know, and wants to hear the perspectives of people for whom he isn't All Might. So here he goes.]

I know there are some people here who come from worlds where superheroes are common, so you may know best how to answer this, but then again anybody from any world might have some insight.

Say that, back in your world, you were a great hero. Your life was dedicated to saving people, you loved to do it, and it was all you could ever see yourself doing.

Except something happens, your body just isn't strong enough to support your heroism any longer, and then you have to retire.

What do you do? How do you spend your time when you didn't plan on giving up the proverbial cape so soon? How do you still feel useful?

[If Mizuki looks unsure, it's because she is. Yet she does want to get better with her sewing skills, so!!!]

Um. Say I wanted to start making handmade plushes for people, w-would anyone be interested? I wouldn't charge, either. I just want to get better at it, you know?

[She turns the camera to show off a handful of handmade plushes that are a mix of various pokemon and animals of Earth.]

I do want to try and make custom hoodies, too, but I don't have any finished ones to show off yet.

divaricate

I've been in this world way too long and I'm curious and bored, so humor me for a second: Is there anyone here who came from a world that *didn't* have magic/supernatural things/the ideas of other universes and time travel/etc., in it, and this is one big mess to you? Because it seems like most of us imPorts come from places where at least one of those things are at least semi-commonly known.

[ yep that's the whole post. ]

sensationalshulk

[Have a slightly awkward but very cheerful wave from a green giantess who's clearly still adjusting to specifics of the video call.]

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I'm still trying to get my bearings with, well, everything. Jumping time as well as universes doesn't seem to have helped. So maybe you can. What do you wish you had known when you first got here? What should have been included in the welcome packet but isn't?

[She lifts one of her arms again, this time showing the blown-out seams on her blazer that is her latest wardrobe casualty.] Failing that, does anyone know a good tailor?

helpdesk_hero

[Well, here he is, in a nice suit and trying not to look too stuffy. But come on, he's offering a professional thing here, and David wants to be taken seriously in a professional manner. Especially because he's not sure how this is going to go. But at least the man doesn't look nervous. Maybe? Okay, so maybe his fingers are twiddling a little at the bottom of the video, but David's trying, alright?]

( And so he talks )

runningstart

So...long time, no inter-dimensional kidnapping.

[Nice, sarcastic, great conversational starter. Very much sets the tone.]

I know these things are kind of cliche but I'll be honest, my social calendar isn't very full right now. [And for once, he likes it that way.] I'm Wally West, I was here a while back, and I guess I'm here again now. Not that I'm...ungrateful. [Except he sounds very ungrateful- look don't pay attention to that]

An-y-wayyy, um, anybody else in the housing in Nonah, #003, I'm your new government-distributed roommate. I'm...kind of crashing elsewhere but I'll come by soon, so don't be surprised.

Hey is there a science conglomerate or anything here? Anybody have a monopoly on research labs now that the Man absorbed all of Mr. Stark's assets? Like no offense, I'm happy to force teenagers who hate me to run in circles for an hour at a time, but I would really rather be doing anything other than that.

[Jane comes onto the network with a Very Serious face on.]

Okay. So, I apparently disappeared for about a day. Sorry about that.

[She mutters, I will figure out how to control that, so help me god, and then clears her throat.]

Does anyone have experience with ancient, magical weapons with insane cosmic power? The kind that would make a person a superhero? Because I am living some sort of superhero comic book or movie even more so now.

[She turns the camera to reveal Mjölnir. Some people will recognize it easily.]

And the thing is, while I get why a lot of people would become a superhero, I have a lot of reasons not to.

electricblu

I guess I'll just add to the slew of questions this network seems to attract.

If you suddenly found yourself with all the time in the world to do anything you wanted, what would you do?

[ Barbara doesn't truly, completely accept that Bruce is gone until she finds out that she's in charge of Wayne Enterprises.

In a way, that makes it easier. She looks calm and professional, in this announcement; she's even wearing a suit, and some of her hair is pulled back into a bun. ]

Bruce Wayne has gone home.

[ She's already vented her feelings about what he's going back to, mostly to her punching bag, so her voice is steady. ]

He's left me control of Wayne Enterprises. I've decided to quit my current job as a teacher to focus on that, because - they do important work.

Speaking of which, the mental health clinic is still going ahead. Any questions or concerns can now be directed at me.

[ She takes a breath, tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear. ]

In fact, anything you were working on with him, anything you needed - please don't hesitate to come to me. I'm not Bruce, but I'll do my best. If I can't help you, I'll find someone who can.

[Private to Jonathan Crane]

That means you, too.

[ The viewpoint spins very slowly and smoothly, not showing a face but a tree, the bark, a branch, a nest. Occasionally tiny fuzzy grey heads stick out over the nest, and their squawking can be heard. The nestlings are grey and white, with pin feathers and a couple have a crest. Someone is studying a nest of blue jays. ]

I’m pretty sure there is a parent around, but only pretty sure. I don’t really know what they are either. Some kind of bird but? Are they going to be alright? They keep yelling.

[ Help a new import out? ]

Which isn’t what I was thinking about saying, but they caught my attention. Anyway, I’ve been filled in, including being told I was here before, even if I don’t remember.

[ With that Anakin pulls the device closer to him, turning it to record him. He’s young, the scar over his face fresh and his hair is very short – he’s only recently knighted and had his braid cut, and his hair is still very short from the more traditional haircut. And his smile is not quite confident, even shy. ]

My name’s Anakin Skywalker, I’ve been here a couple days now. And um, so you need a ‘driver’s license’ I’ve been told. How many of you have gotten one, how did you do it? I’ve been a pilot all my life, these cars have to be easier than a ship. Even a speeder.

[ Bean considered doing this post anonymously, or under an alias, but it's too personal. People would figure out it was him anyway. Even though it's a very personal topic, and talking about it openly makes him feel far too vulnerable, it needs doing. So here he is.

He'll stick to text. Most of his Net posts are video, but this time he just can't face the camera. ]

I need help. Specifically, I need the help of anyone who is trained in the field of genetics.

My DNA was experimented on, when I was an embryo. A "Key" was flipped, which would grant me supreme intelligence and a mind that never stopped growing... at the cost of a body that never stopped growing, either. Anyone who knew me on that other Earth saw that by age sixteen, I will be well over seven feet tall. I'm about eleven now, and I have grown over two feet since I first arrived on this world at age seven. My body will continue to grow until it becomes too big for my heart to support, and I will die sometime in my mid twenties.

I don't want that to happen. I want to flip Anton's Key back, and give myself a normal life, even if it comes at the expense of losing my abnormal brain.

I don't even know if it's possible. But I figured if there was a chance of finding someone who could potentially do it, it would be here, among the imPort community.

You can reach me by way of this post, or at my private channel, here.

And please, no pity. That's the last thing I need.

Here's some multiversal food for thought: If you could go back to the world you originally came from but only with the caveat of having all your memories from this world with you, or opt to stay here but give up the possibility to ever go back to your world, which one do you take?

[ This has been a question from someone way too lost in thought. And definitely thinking about the fact that she's coming up on four years of being here, with only a few slight interruptions, but returning every time with her memories of this world. ]

How do people here feel about someone being made for a specific task or function?

And for those who were--what were you made for?

contactsports

[ The camera turns on to show Zelda sitting at a desk. The desk is a disaster zone - on top of it sits a half-unwrapped gift box. The crumpled paper is covered with neon green hearts, and sitting next to it is a teddy bear. The bear is completely water-logged, once white but now half-brown with dirt and what is probably mold. It's holding a half-ripped satin heart that has Russian lettering on it. For anyone who can read it, it will translate to 'You are mine.' (Romantic or sinister? Who knows?)

There's also glitter everywhere. Stuck to the poor, gross bear, hanging in Zelda's hair, spread all over the desk. It's like a unicorn threw up on her.

She stares into the camera for a long, lingering moment, taking a slow drag from the cigarette between her fingers before she sets in down in the ashtray out of frame. Then, she reaches into the box and pulls out a slinky pink pair of lacy underwear, pinched between her thumb and forefinger like it's a dirty sock she doesn't really want to touch.

Zelda stares flatly into the camera for another moment before she finally speaks. ]

Would anyone like to explain themselves?

[Jane comes onto the network, looking absolutely distraught, maybe about five seconds from crying. Her hair is tied back in a mess, there are deep shadows under her eyes, and it looks like she needs a good meal too.]

Please tell me I’m back.

[It's been … it's been a horrid ride. She turns the camera away, showing that she is back in her house, which needs a bit of dusting. In the background, you can hear her take in a deep breath and let it out slowly. Then she moves the camera back, only looking slightly more composed.]

And does anyone remember me?
