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.

[ Momo has appeared in the imPort network many times now, over the course of her disjointed stay in this world. However, there now seems to be some doubt over whether this even is the same world she has been brought to do many times now. Perhaps that explains why she looks more harried than usual.

Her usually meticulous ponytail is done up in a messy bun. Her clothes are wrinkled, as though they have been slept in. And, though Momo is usually unafraid of showing an ample amount of skin, today she is wearing long sleeves and gloves. It is not cold enough in Jeopardy to warrant such dress. ]

I appear to have been gone some time. I did not return home for any length of time, as I've done before. However... My powers have been changed, according to the new file I was given. Not just my new nanite powers, but my quirk has been changed. I can't help but feel... [ She shivers. ] ...violated.

I have read back through the network archives, so I know I'm not the only one missing time, but... I guess I wanted to know if there was anyone else whose innate abilities which they had at home have been changed somehow, and how do you deal with that?

LOCKED to U.A. students and teachers, and Darin Altway:

Is everyone alright? I know it's silly of me to apologize for being gone so long, since it was out of my control, but... I worry. Please check in, if you're able.

There really was no guarantee that world-altering madness would cease upon the departure of the fate sisters, was there? In fact, perhaps leaving a seat of power open like that can entice other high powers and potent forces to come and see what they can do.

Despite that, it doesn't mean I'm going to ever grow fond of, let alone become used to being battered around by these things. Forces, circumstances, fates, fey...whatever you wish to categorize them as -- I'll just bucket them all in "Things with Greater Influence in the World(s) at Large than Most Mortals." Perhaps that label will satisfy most were I to use it? Not all, naturally.

In any case, who shall begin the mass-accounting of things amiss or askew THIS time around? In a neat list for easy perusal, I'd prefer.

There is a cruel comfort in knowing that trying to talk to self-declared artists is, regardless of realm, an exercise in patience quite hard to master. I desperately do not care if one has crafted a pinwheel out of garbage, nor shall I be inclined to call it art, thank you very much.

Dare I even send this thought into this void? Perhaps I'll just be inadvertently drawing more of these sorts, eager to fuel some unconscious need to be offended and fight for their honor; it seems to be the way out on the street, in the magazines, and everywhere else...

There must be truly something to the notion of being "spoiled for choice" -- this world seems the absolute perfect example of it. Do parameters of quality even MATTER anymore when there is just so damn much of anything and no one can seem to agree at all?

Sure, why not. The ink you accidentally dripped onto your shoe is now "art."

Gods help me. Rather, someone else just kindly mark a map for me so I know how to avoid these weird avenues in the future and spare us all.

[ When the video stream goes live, it's hard for viewers for the first few seconds to make out what's in the feed. It's far too dark and fuzzy, out of focus. A closer look might reveal whatever it is looks thin and plastic-y.

And then it's pulled back and Haru is grinning, barely able to contain her excitement from the way she sways back and forth. In her hands is a small, very official looking card with her photo on it. ]

It took a while, but I've done it! I've finally obtained my driver's license! [ She lowers the card and takes a deep breath. ] The road examination is such a nervewracking test. To be honest, this was my second time taking it...

And now that it's done, I was hoping to ask about two things in particular: firstly, going about purchasing my first car. I'm sure there's a number of people who know a lot about the process and I would very much appreciate any advice you have on the matter.

Secondly, although this may not be for a while, once I have a car I'd like to do a road trip of sorts. Has anyone done one down here in Heropa? I'm curious about what sights I could see with my friends along the way. Like I said, it won't be for some time and I'd have to plan it out, but it would be nice to know what everyone's favourite routes have been!

[ The camera turns on to Ruka (

dragony) and Jaime in their living room, seated comfortably on the couch -- a sweetly domestic set-up. Jaime tends to err towards the businesslike when he posts to the network, responsible for as many things as he is, and Ruka tends not to post video on the network at all, but they both seem to be making exceptions today, Jaime facing the camera with a wide smile. ]

Hey, everyone! We’ve actually got some good news to share today. Some of you might know this already, but...

[ He turns to glance at Ruka—who answers the look with a wordless nod of her own—then holds his hand up to show a ring on his finger. There’s a brief moment before Ruka mirrors the gesture, flashing the camera the sight of her gloveless hand and the matching sparkle of her own ring. ]

We’re engaged!

[ Ruka’s hand drops out of frame, but her smile broadens, a crinkle forming at the corner of her visible eye. ]

We have been for... a while, actually, but it never felt like the right time to say anything. Or... to go through with it. But no time is going to be perfectly stable, so... we’re setting the date. For next month.

It’s going to be great! Our ceremony is gonna be pretty private, but since we’re both gonna be 21 by the time we get married, we’re going to be able to have a real reception. You know, with legal booze and everything. So we hope we’ll see some of you guys there. It’s always great to have a reason to celebrate, though I’m pretty sure I’m the one who’s got the best thing to celebrate. [ Jaime, of course, looks immensely pleased with himself. ]

...oh, and I guess if you have any wedding planning tips, you can send them our way? That’s probably smart. I think it’s gonna be great no matter what though.

And, if anyone’s dying to gatecrash, just let me know ahead of time. [ She’s still smiling, though in a more teasing way. ] So I can pen you into the schedule.

See you guys there!

Alright, listen.

[ At first glance, it looks like a wolf's head is addressing the audience. Then the camera dips and Wolf comes into frame, furry cloak and all, glowering into the camera with the expression of someone who is unused to dealing with technology, and actively resents having to figure it out. She's holding the phone at arm's length with one hand, and shouldering a fearsome-looking, scorpion-stinger-tipped staff with the other. ]

I need information. One: what year is it? And two: I'm looking for someone. She has pink hair, no self-preservation instincts, and is probably trying to pet something gigantic with too many teeth. If you've seen her, let her know that... that Boneripper is looking for her.

[ This might be too much to hope for, but... there are no Mutes in this world, so the question isn't as dangerous as it could be, and from what she understands, Kipo could have arrived here before she did. If Kipo is here, then she'll have befriended half the populace already, and will probably be the first one to respond. ]

... And Mulholland, if this is another one of your stupid dreamworlds, it isn't even a good one, and I'm gonna get out of here and kick your--

[ the video feed cuts off, because Wolf started clenching the phone too tightly, and her finger slipped! ]

[ Ah, there is Lillie, sitting on what's probably the living room couch. She's trying so very hard to look serious, but every so often her fingers will just wiggle, and the entire time it's obvious she's trying not to show her excitement. ]

Hello! I just turned thirteen yesterday, and I have a few questions! I'm a teenager now, but my mother never really talked to me about what that meant, and I understand that my books with teenagers probably weren't trying to tell me what being a teenager is really like.

So, I'm here to ask: What do teenagers do anyway?

Hi everyone!!! i'm Tina and i'm glad to see so many new faces around here

i've been wanting to do this for a while, so here goes: some time soon I'll be having a burger-making night. if you don't know how to cook at all I can teach you, if you wanna just be creative and come up with something new and enjoy the food that's fine too! I just want to hang out and get to know more people

I can provide vegetarian and vegan patties too

and to give something else to answer, I've asked this question before but it might be fun to think about:

If you could make a burger that was themed after you, what would it be?

[ There is a face appearing on the network who looks new to many of you, but may be familiar to some. A young girl of about sixteen, with a huge black ponytail atop her head. She looks... well, distraught would be one way to put it. ]

I ported out for a year, and they made me a convenience store clerk? [ Affronted would also be another good descriptor. ] When I was last here, I was balancing my studies with two different internships, and an apprenticeship! They couldn't even give me the dignity of giving me the job I had when I first arrived?

[ Harumph! ]

In any case, I'm on my way to the porter to go to Jeopardy now. I'm supposed to be living there. I never really visited the city much when it first appeared during my last time here. Does anyone have any advice about navigating Jeopardy? I'm more accustomed to Heropa, De Chima, and Nonah.

Well, according to the official website, the cherry trees in Washington, DC will be in full bloom soon.

I didn't make an effort to get there this time last year. I think it just slipped my mind that it was coming up and by the time I remembered, they had already passed. That's the trouble with a festival that revolves around beauty and ephemerality.

This year, though, I'm going to make a trip. It's one of my favorite festivals to spend with friends and family at home. We make a picnic of it every year... would anyone like to join me?

[ooc: technically it's already going on, but hey, AU Earth, whatever]

My name is Deanna Troi. I've spent the past several days since my arrival reading what I can about this world.

( so far only the device but she'll get to the libraries at some point )

Which makes me curious about where each of us is from, what each of our homeworlds are. It can be quite lonely in itself being taken from your home, particularly if there is no-one else here that we know. ( there's a brief pause. she's aware that this is supposed to be earth if an earth from a different time, perhaps with a different history given that earth didn't give people 'powers' in her reality ) Sharing something, a detail that you enjoy, a story of your friends can help, making you keep them in your heart. I understand that it isn't much or any solution but a little hope can do wonders.

( which brings her to something else that could help )

If anyone wanted to talk more I'm a good listener. I may not know your home but I would like to know of it.

( she offers a smile before closing the feed )

[Roxas sighs as he turns on his phone to talk to the network. It's not that unusual for him to be in a gloomy mood, but this one's different than the ones he comes by naturally.]

This is going to sound stupid, but I wanted to...apologize, I guess, for that Ansem guy who brought all the Heartless here this month. He's from my worlds and fighting them used to be my job. I didn't do a good enough job this time.

[Actually he did fine but it was two Keyblades against a self-growing army of Heartless. Still, he didn't like seeing people in danger.]

Anyway, I know some people got hurt and couldn't....feel things anymore after the Heartless got to them. If that was any of you, you should be fine now — for good — but if you want to, um, talk about it or anything, I can explain things. Cuz I've been through it too.

[Okay he looks willing but a little mortified too so he's going to stop there.]

This whole business of greeting cards, let alone ones for THIS particular occasion, is an absolute farce.
Not ONLY are these compositions mass-produced and highly impersonal, more than half barely have anything of merit or real thought at all! Why, I've opened more than a dozen that spell out just what a generic obligation this entire tradition is. What is the point?!

Flowers and treats I understand; there can be greater thought put into that, yes. But these absurd little cards with their nonsense that barely feigns a personal flair? How positively wretched. I won't even start on this whole business of cards for schoolchildren.

If one means to offer a meaningful tribute to their admired by the written word but lacks the finesse to do it themselves, they're better suited to seeking the talent of one who CAN. In PERSON. Or, at the least, by some means of communication beyond the transaction at a cash register! To have a scribe help work out the truest words to speak your heart, not some idle photo of a dog wearing a bowtie. How lazy!

I can't think of anything more dismissive a statement than some mass-produced, sanitary stock phrases glossed up with a bit of glitter on cardstock; were I to be given one by someone I admired, I'd reevaluate my entire relationship right on the spot, because CLEARLY I was not thought of well enough as to be given even a moment to sit down and properly WRITE a thing. AND only given out of OBLIGATION to some candy-pushing holiday, no less!

I'll do this only once, for I refuse to be nothing but inactive disgust: Should you find yourself pressured to partake in this ridiculous card ceremony, reach out to me. The LEAST I can do is assist you in preparing the thing with more words than what was already feebly printed upon it.

February already. It feels like it snuck up pretty quickly, this year. It's always kind of a strange month though. It doesn't feel like winter, and it doesn't feel like spring. Too short. Too long. And Valentine's day, right in the middle — kinda makes it feel like two different months entirely.

[ It's a soft, meandering opening. The words are quiet, and the tone level, and — like usual for Ruka — a little bit maudlin. Reflective. ]

... but maybe that's just me. It's my anniversary on Sunday. The ninth. I've exPorted a couple times, and disappeared, but I've always come back on the ninth. It'll be my ninth anniversary. I'm twenty, now, and I was eleven when I left my original world. I did all my growing up here.

Here, and in the other place.

...

I... I know that trip was miserable for most everyone who went, and that... I'm sure a lot of you would call it an illusion, or a fake existence, or... something to be forgotten, as quickly as possible. I won't begrudge you for that. But... that place was real. Those people were real. Everything that happened there was real. Just like all the different versions of our own histories that coexist, even if they conflict with one another's. They're all true. To argue otherwise is a cruelty.

... Sorry. I wish I could say, "it's too bad you couldn't see it in a better time," but I don't know if there ever was a good time. But... even something as terrible as that, it's. Better. Than the alternative.

[ What an incredibly evasive way of saying hey guys I know where we went and then not actually confirming where it was. Thanks Ruka. ]

...

Anyway. All that to say, um. If you're having a hard time... synthesizing the experiences, or you don't want to deal with the dissonance of... two, separate, emotional truths, then. Let me know. I might be able to help.

[(OOC: Thanks to Elle for the artwork!)]

[As the video feed turns on, it shows Princess Allura all dressed up in an exquisite silk dress, but not the style that you would normally expect from her. No long sleeves this time, and her hair is pinned up with ornamental hairpins. Also, no pastels for once, as she's instead wearing a vividly red garment with a delicate pattern of flower petals.]

[But she's not the only star of this video feed. No, her mice are climbing all over at her, striking their cutest poses for the camera as she speaks.]

Happy New Year!

... no, I know that's late. But from what I've heard, the new year actually started a little more than a week ago, even though we were celebrating it a month ago. At this point, there's only two things I understand about Earth's dating system, and the first is that it is extremely confusing.

But the second is that this is a special year for rodents! The people have been calling it the Year of the Rat! And these rodents couldn't be more excited about it.

[Well, they certainly do seem excited, but it could just be the attention. One of them is waving a paw like "Look, I'm on camera!"]

You can look forward to seeing more of them, all year long. I've started posting pictures of them online! They're going to be the smallest celebrities of the year!

[And sure enough, there's a link shared with the video post, where she's set up an account on an Instagram-style website — all mice pictures, all the time. Some of them even look like one mouse was taking pictures of the others.]

[The video focuses on a ridiculous bouquet of plush bears and hearts for a moment before it turns to the very flushed and indignant face of this confused seventeen-year-old. He's still wearing lavishly expensive pale golden robes and his hair is ornately arranged, though slightly rumpled. He shakes a detached plush heart at the camera. He's holding it upside down.]

What is this?? Who sent this to me? Why are they shaped like little butts?

pocketfulof

I know some of you have experience with this, and I need some advice...

[Will sounds...tired. Worn down and ready to sleep for a hundred years.]

What do you do when someone's left you something for when they...go home? My dad--he's gone. He left his place and I guess he had some royalties or something.

I guess I keep hoping he'll be back like he was before. And I'm not sure what to really do with any of this. If anyone knew my dad--Apollo...Lester Papadopoulos, I'm going to let friends come by his place. I'm not going to keep everything and some of his stuff might mean something more to you.

squadgoal

Heyyyyy, I'm back from . . . stuff. Home stuff. Not really fun home stuff.

[ he's gone from happy boy to Vaguely Stressed Out Happy Boy. ]

But I was wondering if anyone had any tips for driving spaceships? I kind of had a try and I did very, very badly.

[ whispers to himself. ] So badly.

So anyone willing to help would be great at this stage. In fact, anyone who knows how to fight in space would be a big help.

monster_san

I'll be sixteen on Thursday. That wouldn't have been a particularly noteworthy age at home, but I suppose I should think about getting my driver's license since I'll be allowed to here. It could certainly be helpful when we have these months of unremitting chaos.

Truthfully, I didn't expect my one-year anniversary to be even more chaotic than the arrival itself! But I should know to expect that sort of thing by now, shouldn't I?

It's strange that I've been here for two years, given that I first arrived in 2016. I know there have been a handful of people who have been brought back with their memories of their first stay intact, but I know I am one of the few who's remained for such a long time. I often wonder why it is.

Now that Lady Lachesis is gone to parts unknown with her sisters, I suppose I've lost the opportunity to ask her directly.
