TEST DRIVE MEME: At the Mall


THE MALL
It's where all the cool kids hang out and you can be a cool kid too.


How it Works
Due to the nature of Save the Earth, it's a more complicated process to play in than most other games. With this in mind, it can't hurt to experiment a little.

Post your character and in the comment share a few details regarding their reincarnation. Repeat if you have multiple ideas you want to try out, as many as you like. It's also suggested that you set a scene and there's a few prompts below to help there, but think outside the box if you like. Then tag around to other threads and help your fellow prospective players to test out their characters and the variations on them. Don't be afraid to presume a little CR to make a scene flow more freely, or to assume an Echo or two.

If you have an app, complete or in progress, you might want to link it.

Prompts

Chilling
There's no particular goal in mind to being here, but it's a nice place to sit around.
Browsing
The mall is made for shopping and that's just what you'll do.
Working
The place doesn't run on wishes, but takes hard work.
The Movies
There are other things to do in the mall besides shop. Are you there with a friend or are you that one guy who won't shut up?
Crime Pays
$59.99 for Call of Duty? Time for the five finger discount. Or think bigger.
Alien Invasion
The Martians* are attacking! They want our brains/world/women/hot dogs. Take these freaks out, or cower in terror.
Stake Out In
Mysterious goings on have made it seem suspicious goings on are occurring after hours at the mall. Someone is investigating, but are you with a partner or are you the mysterious thing yourself?
Meeting with Witnesses
Tensions are high and you don't trust the person you're meeting not to try something dangerous unless it's in public.
Taking Shelter
One of the dangerous foes to mankind has caused a gigantic blizzard. Its been days since it began and... now what?

*Martians are not actual Save the Earth villains.

I can tell. Although you may learn to try looking forward now and then-

[With surprising speed for a man of his age, Shen Fujin whips his cane around with the intention of snagging Fai's wrist in the turn of the handle, raising the boy's hand up to be seen.

If it works, he'll be adding-

Such as considering gloves in future.

[Oh, it works alright. He's caught off guard, and there he stands with a bleeding palm and almost inch-long, razor-sharp talons, the glittery false nails having cracked and started to fall off in places. He blinks, mind momentarily going blank as he searches for something to say, some way to explain it away. Except what comes out instead is:]

I'm afraid they slice through gloves. They go through just about anything, even metal.

[Now that was definitely not the right thing to say. He cringes a bit, sighing.] How could you tell?

[Those are some nice talons. Not quite enough to remind him of the set he is missing and would surely think are much better, but nice. He slips the came out from around his wrist with some agility. Never underestimate the Kung-Fu of an old man.]

Keeping track of what happens around you is rule one in a war.

[And doing just that, ensuring no one is looking, is what he does before he allows his eyes to fill with a red glow. It lasts only a moment, but is undeniably other worldly.]

And we are at war, young soldier.
comparative_insanity: (Black is the kiss)

[personal profile] comparative_insanity 2013-03-20 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're...

[He relaxes slightly, and even manages to retract his claws somewhat. What he does instead, for just a moment, is allow his eyes to turn yellow and slit-pupilled, before willing them back to normal.]

I confess I know very little of war. I remember... fighting. But not exactly in a war. [Except from hazy memories of a battlefield under a bloated moon, but he has no idea where to fit that into the rest.]
shendude: (So artistic.)

[personal profile] shendude 2013-03-21 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh...I have lived through two wars even in this life. They're not hard.

[Spinning his cane slightly on the ground, turns and waves a hand, gesturing for his companion to follow him.]

Rule one! Control what others know about you. We can't have you wandering around with such a questionable wound, can we?
comparative_insanity: (You ape with your tail on)

[personal profile] comparative_insanity 2013-03-21 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He follows along readily enough, smiling a bit wryly at the old man's words.]

Oh, I'm usually fairly good at that. I think I used to be even better, before. [He gestures vaguely to indicate that it was in another life.]

But don't worry about that, at least. [He holds up his hands, and while there is still dried blood there, the wounds have already healed.
