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.

Okay, so as most of you should know by now, it's my birthday today.

[ That might be slightly ironic, given how so many of his friends who might know that are actually gone by now; there's maybe 2-4 people who would still know at this point. ]

I'm 18 now-- so not just physically a man anymore, but legally one, too. [ He finger-guns at the camera. ] And to celebrate I'm gonna be having a party next weekend over at the Frisky Nickel. Drinks, food, and games are half-off and dessert is on the house if you come in and mention me by name. Pretty lowkey for now, just show up if you wanna get in on it.

After-party to be determined, but that'll be need to know only anyway. As in, 18 or older.

[ AKA, friends...? who will be willing to accompany him to a strip club, or something else similarly celebratory in that special "I'm 18 now, bitches!" kind of way. It's fine. He'll bring it up at the party. Reggie pauses, then adds: ]

And for the record, this isn't a prank. [ A beat. ] Seriously.

grandtheftequine

so who around here's got a hidden talent?

i don't mean your powers—we've all got those, no one's impressed

i mean stuff that has nothing to do with them (or for some of you particularly overpowered freaks, as little to do with them as possible)
like competitive hot dog eating, or the ping pong ball trick, or something

debutaunt

[When the video comes on, there is a gorgeous woman sitting in front of the camera, with a beautiful (but very clearly staged) background behind her. Flower arrangements, curtains, you get the picture. She smiles widely as she speaks up:]

Hello darlings! You would not believe what I had been through before suddenly showing up here—

[It makes it seem like a dream. But this whole ‘world’ where ‘superheroes are real,’ that also seems equally likely to be a dream! Or yet another afterlife...

But even when she had her suspicions about what’s real and what’s not, she’ll do what she’s always done. Stick it out, hope for the best, be the change she wants to see— et cetera, et cetera…]

Enough about that!

My name is Tahani Al-Jamil, you’ve probably heard of me.

[She knows they haven’t, her family name apparently has no connections here, BUT she is aware of her own powers. Namely right now, the one that means everyone will know of her, and she can work with that.]

It’s a pleasure to soon meet all of you! I’ve heard there is usually a large “welcome” party every month, is that true? Oh, it must be a joke that it’s called a “Swear In,” isn’t it? I almost really believed in that one! Truly terrible. So, what are they really called, and who is hosting them?

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?

plentystrong

[ The feed clicks on, showing a very disgruntled Catra.]

Hey, network or whatever. Here's a little PSA for everyone in this city. No, scratch that, everyone in this whole entire place:

My ears? [ With one hand, she points at one of the large cat ears protruding from behind the mask framing her face. ] My tail? Are NOT to be touched. And I better not catch you gawking at me or [ she punctuates the following words with by moving her index finger in a jabbing motion toward the camera ] you. will. regret it.

I get it, you've never seen a person with a tail before - great, now get over it and mind your business. Am I making myself clear?

bragnificent

[ The feed turns on, and some people may recognize the familiar face of Reggie Mantle that graces the screen-- albeit, looking slightly differently than the last time he was here. His hair is a little bit longer, and he's rocking a very classy, tasteful black-shirt-black-vest ensemble, topped off with a pair of dark, dark sunglasses and a toothpick idly perched in his mouth. ]

Yo. Don't call it a comeback or anything, but you can all relax now and stop missing me so much. It's me, Reggie-- or "Mantle the Magnificent", as some of you may know me better. Here I am. [ Whether he likes it or not, babey...! ] And apparently some of you wasted no freaking time before robbing me. You know who you are: give me my shit back. Give me my car and my dog back.

[ He's pretty sure he knows who you are, too, and so is being extremely generous by not making this a naming-names sort of call-out. But his much-emptier-than-usual apartment is probably somewhat visible behind him anyway.

Reggie's not interested in dealing with that right now, though, not after everything else he's just been through. Investigating the looting and the other messes made in his apartment can... wait, at least one night. ]

Has it really only been like, a week since I left, though? Cuz for me it was almost a year. I mean, at least I didn't miss Christmas, but suddenly I'm like, five months away from turning 18.

[ N B D. On either count; Christmas is still a few months away back home, so that would have sucked, but he's not nearly as close to his 18th birthday there as he is now. He reaches up as if to adjust his sunglasses, then catches himself, dropping his hand before he touches them and focusing instead on just opening his bedroom door. ]

The age of lap dances. Just in case anyone wants to start planning the surprise party now.

[ He sets his communicator down, moving off-screen to change into something a little more comfortable, but he doesn't switch the feed off yet-- it isn't long before he appears on-screen again, still wearing his sunglasses, but now also wearing a blue hoodie instead of (or possibly over) his other clothes, and has swapped his toothpick out for a candy cane (since of course he picked some up). Wasting no time trying to settle back in, apparently. ]

But y'know, it feels weird as hell going home and then ending up back here... and I don't mean just cuz some people will break into your place and either rob you or bleed all over it. [ He's not dealing with that right now. Moving on: ] More like how it feels like having whiplash and a hangover at the same time-- like, that can't be that good for our brains.

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?

pre_successful

hello im new here
my name is jason

and i think i have superpowers. its not the first time i thought ive had superpowers but the last time i didnt actually have them i was just really tripped out and floating in a public swimming pool.

i wasnt actually flying

but i dont think i am this time.

i think this is a prank. or im on a reality show, like the greatest show ever made, celebrity big brother. only cooler.

either way theyre my powers now and you cant have them back!

I was going to make a post asking about whether people were from worlds where fate/destiny/whatever is provable and/or a foundation of the way things are run, because every once in a while I get stuck on whether anything out of our control drives the way we're allowed to function. I know that's so layered and variable and probably boring, though...

So, never mind! Happy Halloween Week!

What's the spookiest thing that's ever happened to you? Was it ever explained?

(If you'd like to talk about the first point, that's fine too.)

eloquentness

You know, if anyone had told me a year ago that I would end up a hospital CEO, I would've probably laughed right at them.

[ Iris can't help grinning at the camera; compared to the past few times that she's made a network post, she looks relaxed. Despite the expansion, despite the hours of work that have gone into making it possible... it's all out in the open, and she's even broadcasting from the comfort of her apartment for once in her life. ]

Which is to say, thanks to everyone who's both believed in the clinic and worked so hard this past year. Your efforts have definitely paid off. So here's my question to kick us off, guys - what's one thing you've learned about yourself while you were here?

It can be as small as not liking a certain kind of curry, because I've had that happen, or well... as big as my career example. There's no real limit on what you've learned, you know?

kanyounot

[ Today must be a day for shitposting, because Kanan's got one too. ]

You know, the text thing doesn't usually give me much trouble. The devices have a pretty good voice-to-text and text-to-voice function on them. Unless you're typing a bunch of abbreviations, they can be hard to parse sometimes. The letter "y" seems to be either "why" or "yes" depending on the context, for instance. Still haven't figured out "L O L".

I even get some of those... what do you call them, "emojis". The device will tell me if there's a little smiling face or a finger pointing to the left or whatever, that's fine. Right up until there's a bunch of... vegetables? I don't know a lot of the vegetables on this planet. What even is an "eggplant", and what is "eggplant sweatdrops"? Are you watering your vegetable garden?

[ He's asking the tough questions. ]

calloused

[ introductions are for losers, so Derek doesn't include one. just gets right down to what he wants. ]

Started a business. Hiring people. Tell me if you need a job.
Full time or part time positions available. Branches are located in Heropa or Maurtia Falls. Be nearby, or at least willing to travel.

Requirements:
- Unaffected by blood, bones, etcetera.
- Capable of dealing with emotional turmoil.
- Stamina in spades.
- Likes animals.
- Not an asshole.

That's it.

[ that's it. no further explanation. no sympathy for anyone dealing with roomba drama. zero shame ]

recommendations

Dearest ImPorts, I require your advice.

Sixteenth birthdays are very important in America, right? That's what I've heard, anyway. You always see stories of girls celebrating their Sweet Sixteen.

Well my Sweet Sixteen is in three days, and I haven't a clue how I should celebrate! Please help me!!! Should I host a party? Should I bake or buy a cake??? Which flavor cake is best? Should I ask for the day off from my internships? Would that be horribly inappropriate??

Thank you in advance, I really am clueless on this matter...

crimeboy

[Hey, here's a familiar face for a few of you! Akira just got back and he knows how this place is.]

I'm definitely going to regret asking this but- What did I miss?

Other than my own eighteenth birthday!!! Seriously? Now what? Am I eighteen now or do I have to wait a month? Or a whole year?!

[Not that he is sure he's ready for Adulthood yet but you know. How DID that work when time was all messed up?]

Who wants to have a party for me anyway? I don't need any presents or anything, but you know. It's been a little tough lately, might wanna wind down somehow.

grandtheftequine

okay it's time to fess up:

how many of you have used your powers during sex?

bonus points for details

calloused

[ derek's had a bit of A Week. he's tired and he's grumpy and he's all out of money, and while he generally dislikes posting to the network out of a disgust for all things social and a latent paranoia of what might happen if he draws too much attention to himself, he's also, uh. he's also learning how to vent his anger in ways other than yelling at his friends, bloodying his knuckles on a punching bag or """unhealthily""" """internalizing""" it, which, he might add to anybody who might listen, is a dumb and terrible way to describe what he does. and so: ]

Comment here and I'll say something horrible about you.
Your appearance. Your personality. All of it.
Hell, I don't even have to roast you. Give me a name, I'll look them up.
Bonus points if you can give as good as you get.
Someone around here has to be mean enough to make me cry.

Also, I'm out of money.
Twenty bucks and I'll say something nice instead. One of you has gotta be lonely enough to pay for a compliment.
Come at me.

[ Starr kicks off the video in Chilton's office, sitting at his desk. Chilton's nameplate has been replaced with another one reading: Dr. Herr K. Starr ]

It seems Doctor Chilton has ported out. So until further notice, I will be taking over the Maurtia Falls Psychiatric Hospital for Abnormal Conditions. Staff is to immediately report to me for evaluation and policy updates.

For the time being, we will not be accepting patients unless in the most dire of circumstances -- in which case, I will be able to implement shock therapy. In my humble opinion, such therapy does work best when placed upon ones genitals, but I will leave that up to the patient.

[ He pulls out a notepad, puts on Chilton's reading glasses, and picks up an entirely too fancy pen. ]

Now simply because we will not immediately be taking patients does not mean we cannot get you in the system. So let's start this with the basic question most psychiatrists are sure to ask: what is your deepest, darkest sexual fantasy?

[Linda is a little new to this whole video post thing- even in the year of our lord two thousand-something at home she'd still had a flip phone- so she's gussied up a little for this chat. The comm is nicely placed on her coffee table and Linda is sitting on the poofiest over-stuffed chair the living room has to offer. She's also holding a stuffed figure of her daughter, Tina Belcher, in her lap. Since she talks with her hands, poor stuffed Tina will be waving around a lot as Linda talks. Sorry, baby.]

My baby girl Tina went missing for a whole week without the dumb-face police here caring. She went poof in the porter, I guess, but that's no excuse! What if something terrible happened? Where are all the other kids that go running off, no grown ups watching them close and careful. Sure, they're alive and got money, but left alone with a microwave and no curfew and no kuchi kopi band-aids or get better songs-

[She takes a deep breath to steady herself. Getting a little worked up here.]

Look, we've got all these grown ups here with time. So I wanna start using my Lind-a-Care foundation to help keep an eye on the kids. Just...just check their homework and make sure they know how to do the dishes and maybe give 'em the talk when they need it. All of that stuff!

I've got the glitter to make the new recruitment banner, but a girl needs some help. And money. And kids to sign up. Even if you don't wanna, huns. Trust me, there's just...oh my god, so much can go wrong. I can't stop thinking about it. Like finding out you're allergic to bees when you're all alone...

So, c'mon! Let's kick butt!

[She throws her arms up in enthusiasm at the end of this, sending poor stuffed Tina flying off camera. Linda watches it sail away and into the kitchen with wide eyes.]

Oopsie...
