Single Thread RP Dead Mall

[Asternove]

In preparation for its birth and eventual death, as it happens to all things, please tell me where you would like your character to start their journey.

The food court, the management office/help desk, the car parks, anywhere that one would expect to find in a shopping centre.

It will help guide me in establishing the initial places for each character, there is no guarantee I will follow your choices. Thanks!

Probably behind the desk at a clothes store or something

Parking as stated in DMs

(So it begins.)

@Asternove
The last customer to visit came in nearly two hours ago, a middle aged labrador woman who loudly complained about the no returns policy. The clock is nearly at 9PM. The store, a small discount clothing store, somehow doesn't close for another hour, your shift end two hours away.

Your manager, a 20-something year old goat named Kate, left for a smoke break half an hour ago, leaving you alone. ty radio pop plays faintly over the speakers. You can hear the steady tick of the clock, each second a second closer to being able to go home.

@Lin Xueqing @Orchamut
The West Hill Food Court is a large circular atrium, tables of varying sizes surrounded by various restaurants. Only two restaurants are still open at this hour, a small, quiet McDonalds manned by only three people, and a Chinese restaurant, from where the busy sounds of the kitchen continues to echo throughout the food court.

The tables are slightly greasy, with leftover paper bags and rubbish littering the area. A wet floor sign warns of spilt pepsi on the tile floor, which has long since dried up into a sticky puddle.

Up above, a scarlet glass sculpture hangs from the skylight. A massive serpent snaking around the ceiling. It was commissioned a while back by a local megachurch, a representation of God's love and protection. During sunrise and sunset, the entire room is covered in a red tint. God's protection.

The underground car park is bathed in fluorescent light, yet the deepest corners remain shrouded in darkness. Broken glass litters the floor, of which your car tyre has become a victim to. The car park feels massive yet lonely, with only a handful of other empty cars visible. Yet you are not alone, as you hear echos of laughter and shattering glass nearby.

 

[Cream Starlight]

Wow, location refreshment! I was unprepared.

Xueqing is walking in the atrium, as to look for something to eat. Haven't had her dinner tonight (she worked overtime for a game project), the feline seems a bit tired.
Suddenly, her eyes light up as she sees two restaurants still in an open state.
"Oh, hey!"
In excitement, the cat speeds up her pace to reach the Chinese restaurant.

Luvia, the black-furred feline traveler, is also looking for someplace that has food. She also notices the restaurants and runs towards the McDonalds...

...however, they bumped into each other.

"Ah! ...huh?"
"Ow! ...whuh?"

The two looked at each other.
"Uhm... Who are you, may I ask?"

Cassie cranks the car-jack a few more times, an ear peeling back across her head as her gaze flits to her side. She doesn't dare to lower her sunglasses, but she does begin to reach into her fanny-pack as she rises, throwing open her ancient, ratty car's trunk to fish out the slightly deflated spare beneath the trunk's floor.

She has one hand fumbling about the pack, though beside that, she seems to be minding her own business.

She mutters something, mostly to herself.

"ing druggies..."

Isidro brings Tav over to the Chinese restuarant, keeping his tail raised slightly above the floor to avoid getting anything on it.
"Pick what you want."
Tav looks at the menu while his father seems to be trying to peer into the kitchen from over the counter.

"Oh!"
The black cat quickly reacts. "Name's Luvia! Luvia Lumid."
The brown cat smiles. "Mine's Lin Xueqing."

"...Well, you seem... as starved as me." By some inspection, the brown cat has a conclusion. She seems a bit awkward.
"Yeah, my belly is not really feeling up to it after two hours of walking." The black cat sighs.
"As for me? I worked overtime."
As the conversation goes on, they helped each other up, and starts walking to the Chinese restaurant.

They're cheering now, as another glass appears to break.

The staff are yelling at each other loudly in a mixture of Cantonese and Vietnamese, the kitchen cramped but bustling.
The menu has a massive variety of dishes, including various noodles and rice dishes. The restaurant seems to even offer non-Chinese meals such as sushi and pho.

(Whoops, that's my bad. Your character is pretty isolated from the others so this will give you the freedom to take as much time as is needed to prepare.)

"Hm."
The big fish drums his nails against the counter.
"Choose something already."
Tav mutters something to him.
Isidro turns back to the counter and orders egg noodles with shrimp, and beef with fried rice.

Xueqing and Luvia enter the restaurant, and also goes to the counter.
"Um, what would you want?"
"Rice fried with egg, please!" It sounds almost enthusiastically.
"Heh, same dish. Double, please!" The black cat seems to have a smile.

"Shrimp egg noodle, beef fried rice... And two egg fried rice coming up! Won't be long!"
There are two empty booths near the back of the store, sandwiching a wolf sitting alone in his booth with a bowl of chow mein.

The pair sit down at one of the booths.
Isidro meticulously wipes the table with a napkin, regardless of its condition.

Both cats walks towards the other empty booth.
Taking out a napkin paper and wiping the table/desk/booth clean, the black cat seems to have something to ask.
"You mention you worked overtime, yea? What is it?"
"Well, I've been devoting myself to developing my first indie recently. And... my PC's clock bugged. I didn't even realize that until I checked my phone." Xueqing looks aside.

The tables are slightly greasy, but the seats are comfy. There are various carvings into the wood made by past customers, from years to lover's initials to various profanities.

One of the workers brings over the meals after a few minutes.
"Enjoy your meals."
The bowls are large and filled almost to the brims.

"Thanks for your service!"
Both cats nods at the worker, then starts enjoying their meals.
While having the fried rice, Xueqing notices the carvings, and takes time to have a look at them. "Hm..."
