TEST DRIVE MEME: At the Mall

[theearth]

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.

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.]
