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.

[Still locked in the great debate of What To Buy Your Preteen Daughter, Kotetsu catches the tail end of the younger man's conversation, grinning a little to himself at the nostalgia it brings up.

Not that he's really ever had a similar experience--he's one of those rare special snowflakes that actually does find love at first sight, whose "first love" is their only love, really, because it's a sensation that's never been duplicated.

(He still wears his ring, even though it's been seven years since she passed.)

But it's familiar enough, from his high school days. Antonio was often griping about girl troubles, after all. Still, it's none of his business, and Kotetsu fully intends to let the stranger pass without a word when he realizes he's being addressed. And...just eyes that pony because good lord, were those glitter-filled tie-dye roses on its back. And how the toy company even managed to get so many braids into that mane he doesn't even want to know.]


...Geez, whatever happened to the simple names like..."Fluffy", or "Biscuit"?

[He has no idea if there were ever toy ponies called by those names, okay, but he's pretty sure these toys didn't always have names that were nearly as long as his own in full.

...That's when he notices the name badge on Fay's shirt, and he realizes he should perhaps ask help because he is clearly in over his head here.]


Oi, if you're not too busy, could you help an old man out for a sec?

[Not that he's that old, but. He has been on the police force for nearly twelve years, and some of his younger co-workers like to give him shit about it sometimes.]

I'm looking for a birthday gift for my kid. D'you uh, think a soon-to-be eleven-year-old would be into this kinda stuff, or would she've outgrown it by now?

[Fay blinks a bit in surprise and his eyes follow the other man's to the name badge on his chest. And then he laughs, a full and gently amused sound.]

I ain't actually working here, sugar, that's my whatchmadoodle from the coffee shop, but sure I can help you out.

[He returns the pony to the shelf, smiling.]

And trust me, of I'd've gotten a stuffed toy when I was eleven, I would've pitched a right fit.
