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.

[App here. Also, still working on correct icons, so her hair will be shorter than it shows in the icons and she'll be wearing a more normal dress.]

[A girl is sitting in the food court. It looks like she just finished eating and there's also a few bags sitting on her table. She has a rather nice smartphone out and seems to be playing a game on it.

She doesn't seem too happy though, she's probably losing in the game. Actually, she's downright horrible at it, but there's nothing else to do while eating, she already checked the forums she tends to go to and nothing of interest there.]

[Sasame's grabbing himself a burger after a long day of clothes shopping when a familiar face catches his eye. Hey, that's one of the girls he knows from school, isn't it? One of them with a number?

He settles down a few tables away from her. He's been wanting to get to know her better for a while now but hasn't found a good excuse yet...but he was hoping to organize a "getting to know each other" meeting at his place, so...

He pulls out his smartphone and sends a message to her number. She's already using her phone so she's bound to see it, right?]

Hey Tamara! fancy seeing you here. on your left!

[and if she looks over, he's planning on waving and giving her a smile.]

[Oh yes, she sees it and that just made her loss a for sure thing. And on the first level at that. Why must she be so bad at this game when she's good at everything else related to computers and phones?

She quickly exits out of the game, though if one were to be honest, she's ragequitting it. She hesitantly looks over, because she knows very well that among those who have a number is one of her victims. Please let it not be him.

Damn it. She really just has no idea how to react to him because he seems nice enough, but what she was told implies he isn't. And she definitely doesn't trust her own judgement when it comes to being attracted to a guy.]


You made me lose the game I was playing so this had better be something good.

[Heeeey guess who's completely oblivious to her distrust of him? This guy! Because girls like him, right?]

oh, whoops, sorry. But I hope it'll be worth it!

I was thinking of trying to have a get together at my place for those of us with numbers. Maybe with some karaoke. Would you like to come? You wouldn't have to sing or anything if you don't want to. But it might be nice to get to know everyone better.

[Distrust is putting her feelings quite mildly. There's that, plus confusion and the fact that in her mind he's the scum of the earth and if she's too nice he'll do the same to her.

No, must put him off somehow. Schoolwork, that always works! She'd say no anyhow because she's not into the idea of parties. Especially not with people she barely knows and especially not at his place.]


I'll be busy. I have a lot of work to do for classes.

[Never mind that he hasn't given a date, time, and she's here goofing off. Yeah, such an obvious lie there even to the oblivious.]
wordsgate: Smiling, his eyes scrunched up in amusement. (♪ Ah...)

[personal profile] wordsgate 2013-04-16 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Aw. homework's a bitch, isn't it? but are you sure you can't stop by for at least an hour or two? I can try not to schedule it nearby any major tests or due dates for anyone. i haven't nailed down a date or anything.

[Figures that the obvious lie would be spotted and he'd push her. If it were anyone else asking, she'd consider a short time.]

I'd prefer not. Even if I wasn't busy, I barely know you and see no need to change that fact.

[And if he's looking over in her direction, she's getting up and taking her tray to a trashcan and definitely appears to be leaving the food court area to either finish her shopping or go back to her dorm.]

[He's not paying attention to his phone when she gets up, so he sees her leave first. When she does, there's a weird pain in his chest. For some reason, he really wants to get up and chase after her. He can't bear to see her leave.

But he knows that stalking her around the mall would probably make the leap from "friendly" to "creepy" really, really fast, so he just stays seated and looks down at his phone. That's when he sees her message. Now he feels even worse.

Why does this matter so much to him? He knows he can't please everyone, and he can live with some people not liking him, so...why her?]


That's fair i guess. but even if you don't want to get to know me, you should probably try to get to know others on the Network? whatever is going on, it feels big, and I think it's best if we work together.

[Of course little does he know that he's already in the "creepy" category to her. Yet the more he talks to her, the more she wonders if the girl who hired her services was wrong about him, or they just were not suited for each other and she couldn't accept it.

But she can't take that risk. She's made a fresh start in a new place and she doesn't want to just be used and thrown away again when no longer needed. Not until she's given a reason to believe otherwise.

She just doesn't understand why she wants him to prove otherwise. She's had no problem turning guys down before and walking away as if nothing had happened. Now she feels bad for being so cruel.]


I have no issue with that as long as it doesn't interfere with my studies. I'm on a scholarship and cannot afford to lose that.

[And now she spots a really lovely dress in the window of a store nearby and walks in. Definitely must try that one on. At least she's not mentioning that fact for Sasame to think about her taking her clothes off in the fitting room.]
