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.

( I told you, you wouldn't understand! )

[ He's seen his memory on the network but there's not a single word from the usually chatty Bob in response. ]

[ooc: the second option contains spoilers for season 4 of Lucifer. If you want a clip of the second option, it's here. If you want in-person VR instead of video, go here.]

( I don't believe in no Devil, cause I done raised this Hell )

[warnings for mental illness and physical attack on a child by a parent]

[The video starts, the image marred by occasional and flicking between black-and-white and heavily de-saturated, certain colors more prominent than others. The owner of the memory is stepping out of an elevator onto the top of a roof, all concrete walls and odd blocks of ceiling creating uneven ground. Everything's a little distorted, unsettlingly large, like the world's just a bit too big (or the owner of the memory was a bit too small).

( I would have died / I would have loved you all my life )

[In the video that comes after, Stiles is white-faced, sitting on the floor of his bedroom - less sitting, more fallen, like he wasn't in control when he stopped standing - and a husky is whining next to him, licking his hand pathetically. He talks, but his voice is far away; it's possible he isn't aware a camera is recording.] That didn't happen. That didn't - that didn't happen.

flightforfreedom

[ He's thankful that one of the things BB-8 gave him before he was taken away again was an encrypted anonymous lock on his comm. It's not even that this is something he particularly wants to be anonymous for so much as it just... makes things a little easier to talk about. ]

this month, two of my best friends here had their one year wedding anniversary
living with their adopted son
a family that only could have existed on this planet

sometimes it's hard to see the little victories for what they are
more important than anything else

so tell me what keeps you going here

what are the things that this place gives you that you never would have gotten a chance for at home

the people that keep you getting up in the morning

we're all in this together and sometimes it takes a lot to remember that

threeisapattern

what

the fuck

Last I checked it was October. Now it's November, the apocalypse nearly happened, my dog has severe separation anxiety, and I didn't even go home?? It's like I blinked and lost a month. Jesus Christ does this happen to other people?

[Generally speaking, Aziraphale doesn't always notice some of the chaos that goes on in this strange new world. It comes with being an immortal being in a way. Things happen and times move on, and often enough it's barely a blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things.

That said, even he hasn't missed the chaos going on right now.]

It... really seems as if the strange activity has reached a peak these days, doesn't it?

[Monsters, zombies, newly appeared ruins, strange... well, everything.]

Is this normal for this world? Did we simply have a quiet summer? Or is this level of strangeness out of the ordinary?

[The angel would like to know how much fretting he should actually be doing, and if he needs to be worrying about his friends and loved ones. If there are steps he should be taking to make sure they're all right.

All very concerning.

And. Well.]

Do we expect it to last very long? Out of concern for the populace -- imPort and local alike -- of course. But also, well, I do have a wedding to plan.

[So. Don't mind how pleased he sounds by that despite all the fretting that has been in the rest of this post. Look, he's very concerned for everyone's well being, but he also is ready to start doing tastings for wedding cake. And picking out flowers. He's getting married and he's very excited and very proud.

Someone introduce him to Pinterest.]

livethecreed

I have a request for anyone how knows about religious artifacts. There was a device in my world which some claimed came from Eden; I wish to know if any other worlds have something similar.

It was a metal ball which could controls men's minds and produce lifelike illusions. Has anyone else heard of something similar?

bookkeeper

So. Asking for a friend here: bachelor party ideas.

Anything and everything goes* The more the better. Lay it on me.

*HEALING REGENERATION FRIENDLY? nothing too dangerous or thrill-seeking since not everyone can heal themselves

craftpunk

[ Guess who's back who's back again? ]

Heh. So I'm back again. Thankfully, I don't think you call can get rid of me quite so easily.

[ For those new to the party, Woden's helmet is in full view of the screen, his camera the only reflection. He's sure to take up the whole thing, so his specific location can't be defined from the helmet's reflection. His tone is musical and amused, like he's just experienced something funny. ]

You know what the amusing thing is? I'd already been punished for my earlier transgressions. I'd been killed and beheaded for the things I had done. Beyond that? I've been quiet. I've lived my life, I didn't even interact with the people who felt so... betrayed by my actions. I kept my nose clean -- [ A beat, and a tip of his helmet. ] -- relatively.

Do you know what being good? What being quiet and diminuitive got me? It got me murdered in my own home. [ He leans back, now, and he's most certainly not at home. He, in fact, looks to be in the middle of nowhere, a dark room, other than the bright whites of screens that illuminate from behind the camera. They are all static in his helmet. ] Let me reiterate, for no reason. I did nothing, and because of my reputation, or my odiousness, someone thought it would be fun to murder me.

I would like you all to think on that, the next time someone speaks ill of another person's reputation here. We are... the sum of our actions, yes, but for some, those actions are immediately forgiveable. For others, it doesn't matter how many times we are killed, or punished. It's never enough, to try to change our lives, and make up for it. It's ironic, how easily manipulated you all are, isn't it? How you all don't even question the people you trust?

I digress. I suspect I'm only complaining into the void, regardless.

[ A pause, and he lifted a finger, as if he had another point, his helmet tipped. ]

I suppose I should wish all the other fellow fathers out there, a happy father's day, shouldn't I?

justlittle

[ There comes to the network feed the sound of a small child's voice. He could do this over text, or under one of his many aliases, to distance himself from the emotional vulnerability of the subject matter. But hiding from his name-- his father's name-- seems like a cowardly move, given what it is he wants to talk about. ]

Today is Father's Day.

[ Bean takes a deep breath, then continues. ]

I've only ever had a short time with my father. I didn't grow up with him. Neither of us knew the other existed until I was seven. But once we learned... He took me in. He gave me the name he always wanted to give his second son. His name. We only had a year together before we had to separate again, but my father was good to me. He accepted me, even though I was a complete stranger to him.

Julian Delphiki is a smart man. A kind man. A man who loves his wife and his family. He doesn't deserve the trouble he's run into by having a son like me.

If I can do anything with this chance at life I've been given... I want to live up to the name he gave me. It's not the name I go by, but... it's still mine. Even if it was his first. [ And even if Bean is already the more famous Julian Delphiki, back on his Earth.

Okay, maybe he's letting himself be too emotionally vulnerable. Better wrap this up. ]

Are there any other imPorts thinking of their fathers today? I'd like to hear what they're all like.

Thank you.

[This is not a well thought-out text. This is middle of the night, post-brain-surgery, still-in-recovery text. He's barely awake, not thinking straight, not sure he can.]

clone troopers were implanted with control chips

how many of you already knew

[Any immediate reply will have to wait. He's fitfully drifted off again.]

[ Annnnnd they're back, those fluffy little buggers from about a month or so ago. They're a little bigger now, though not by much. It's gotta be mostly all that fur. And they're super playful, as seen with Nate trying to follow them with the camera as they're running around and pouncing on one another in the spacious corner boxed off in the living room where he's kind of gotten some baby gates linked together. ]

Hey, so for those of you who had put holds on taking one of these guys, the vet's given the All Clear. They all checked out as healthy, their shots are up to date, and everything else seems good.

Head's up that I'm only around after 5 weekdays but I'm available all day most weekends. If you gotta, y'know, arrange a specific pick up time. I can also swing by on my lunch hour, too, if you need.

Let me know whatever works.

threeisapattern

[Stiles is sitting on his bed in front of a laptop with the world's grumpiest-looking Husky lying on the bed next to him, contentedly chewing on a stuffed bunny toy. The edge of a murderboard on the wall he's been putting together to keep track of information about this reality is just visible on the edge of the frame, and the rest of the room visible is, well, teenage boy messy, although the angle he's got the camera at doesn't show much.]

So, uh, I'm Stiles, this is Derek. Say hi, Derek. [The husky raises its head and yawns, which is apparently its version of hello.] So, I heard the next Swear-In's gonna be on the moon, which is simultaneously awesome and terrifying - I also heard that Swear-Ins are kind of a lightning rod for attacks? As cool as having 'he died in space' on my grave would be, it would also be cool to not die. But I haven't declared one way or another, and I'm not sure how long I can fail to decide to register or not.

But, uh - [Segues are for losers, Stiles just swings his laptop around so the screen's visible to the camera. It's open to a Bwitter account called @StilesWatch with an impressive follower count that's apparently dedicated to posting candids of teen heart-throb Stiles, mostly Stiles with dogs from Sunshine Therapy, although there's already one of him with Derek.] Yeah, I don't know what to do with this. I know we're all supposed to be kind of celebrities, but this is a lot. Jesus, I can't even get anyone to go on a date with me back home [HE DID NOT ACTUALLY MEAN TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD] and they're selling t-shirts, which I'm pretty sure is illegal? Definitely no one asked me if I wanted my face on a t-shirt. [Help??]

bookkeeper

All right so, I’ve got a bit of a problem here and I’m wondering who can help.

[ Nate has to adjust how device and angle it to then show the box. And inside ... kittens. Fluffy little buggers, some white with black or gray tipped ears while others are completely white, all six of them. As soon as they see him crouching next to the box, that's when the chorus of tiny meows begins.

Guess it's time to try and talk over them. ]

Not sure how old these guys are, and I'm not going to tell you where I found them. It's uh, probably best that I don't. Anyway, anyone know where the nearest vet is?

Oh yeah— all but one are up for adoption. After I get them checked out by the vet first, of course.

[ Sorry Elena not sorry. ]

prophesiedone

[Anakin is somewhere in Jeopardy, leaning against a building with his hands in his pockets.]

So...those of you labeled as "villains"...

Does it bother you? Have you been treated differently because of it? Actions do speak louder than words, which means, of course, if you haven't acted on it, most people probably don't even know.

[He looks away, surveying something to his left with a critical eye.]

Can a "villain" become a "hero"? [The quotation marks are implied with his voice. Anakin doesn't think much of the ranking system, yet it's all correct, isn't it.]

[Private to Luke]

What happened? [He knows something is very wrong, but the details are murky.] Do you need me?

[/]

vanto

[The room is poorly lit but it does little to hide the fact Eli is fiddling with the edge of his shirt, trying not to fold in on himself. This is not comfortable, at all.]

So, I figured [pause, he clears his throat] I figured that I might just rip the bandaid and accept a few things here.

One, I'm stuck and I can't leave — I'm probably going to get demoted - or well, probably just kicked out - when I go back and [he looks away from the camera] apparently, I was here before.

Or at least that is what it looks like. Apparently, I'm a bar tender now - or again? - I honestly don't know what to think anymore.

lootsnshoots

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.

herrstory

Jeopardy, Nevada.

[ No one has talked about this on the network yet, have they? And maybe this is about to be the moment, the opening topic of discussion about this grand conspiracy..... ]

Has anyone tried the prostitutes out there yet?

[ ....Looks like no valid conversation will be found here. Move along. ]

nextsymbol

help someone on bwitter found out i’m an import and now i have like 150 new followers

this is too much pressure

[japan’s future symbol of peace, everybody.]

bookkeeper

You know it's great, the stuff you can see from being so high up.

[ The camera pans around to show the landscape of Heropa, some of the lower building tops, the trees of the park in the distance. Nate's gotta be in the Downtown section of the city, with the way the wind sounds against the microphone of the communicator as it cuts between the buildings. ]

I can't be the only one who likes to climb tall rooftops to get away. It's like being on top of the world [ Nate looks over to where parts of the rooftop are covered in layers of pidgeon shit, camera showing it briefly. ] If you can ignore the bird crap.

[ More panning over to a building across the street, all windows. Not on purpose. Hold up— is that...two people caught against the edge of a desk? Heropa natives? Co-workers? Nate leans forward. There's a bit of zooming. Well, shit. That's quite a bit of naked skin, a guy's back, nothing too scandalous. ]

Uh whoops— That's not... oh— crap!

[ Blue skies and gray clouds spin and spin unexpectedly. Dark building windows add to the dizzying mix. The wind is too strong, he misjudged it. Nate's seen hanging from the edge of the one towering building and then suddenly limbs flail as he's heard shouting 'oh crap, oh crap, oh crapppppp'. And that's that, he's freefalling. Feels like he's an amateur when climbing has always been his thing. He's trying to twist in midair to grab at the glass, panic setting in, fingers squeaking, slipping.

That's the last image showing right before his device hits the ground and things go black. ]

( ooc: his ability is Rapid Cell Regeneration so there's no character death, just an awkward landing. )
