Description: Malls are big, and there's more than enough room for every Mall Rat to make their home there, and your home can always use improvements! Collect some supplies, find a safe space to sleep through the night, and, well. Make yourself at home away from home.
Goals:
Step 1: MAKE IT HABITABLE.
You as a survivor need to find something that will work as a bed, something to store your personal items in, and a way to get some privacy for changing. (No washrooms, because no store in the mall has enough space to dedicate an employee-only bathroom). That and people keep taking your furniture to help reinforce the barricades... Looks like it's time to replace everything again.
Roll 1d10. If even, you succeed. If odd, don't worry! Just roll again till you get even.
Step 2: MAKE IT DEFENSIBLE.
Use any loose items you can find to protect the front of the store you've set up in. While most of the mall is safe, there are some shops that aren't, and you've got to prepare for the worst.
Roll 2d4 until they match.
Step 3: MAKE IT DEFENDABLE.
With another survivor played by another player or one you NPC, check the strength of your defenses.
Both roll 1d10. The higher roll determines the outcome. If the barricades stay up, you get 1 bonus Arcade Token for completing the quest. Otherwise repeat Step 2 until your dice matches, then try Step 3 again to make sure it can withstand the "assault."
Step 3: MAKE IT LIVABLE.
There is an IKEA in the mall, and that means you get to raid it for furniture! ...Easier said than done, though.
Find the kind of furniture you want: Roll 1d4 till you get a 1. Escape the labyrinth: Roll 2d6 till they match. Find the boxed version you need to put together: Roll 1d20 till you get an even number. Put the furniture together: Roll 1d20 till a 15 or higher.
First time doing this quest? Please write a minimum of 100 words for 1 Arcade Token.
Repeating? Minimum word count jumps up to 300 in order to claim your 1 Arcade Token.
Feeling wordy? Go above and beyond the bare minimum for additional tokens! You need to meet this word count while doing the quest, so no going back to pad your quest to claim tokens! These token bonuses do not stack, so you can't write 100 words to claim 1 token, then add 300 words to claim 2 more tokens.
500 words = 2 Arcade Tokens. 600 words = 3 Arcade Tokens. 700 words = 4 Arcade Tokens. 800 words = 5 Arcade Tokens.
Whistle While You Work: You can absolutely work on living quarters with someone else, even if you don't intend to stay with them. You will have to both roll for your own successes, but it does mean you get good company!

She was sick and tired of being around so many people. They were forced to live close to strangers. She wished she could just get back to her apartment. Even being stuck at a school would have been better then this. And to make matters worse everyone smelled. She tried her hardest to keep clean, but some of the others didn't even make an effort. It was disgusting. But now with the doors being opened people could pick their own shops. She had heard the news relatively early, so she had a good pick of the shops. She wanted a furniture shop, but she knew that she would be lucky to get a room like that. As she walked around she realized that there was a lot of the mall that wasn't inhabitable. There were shops that had been broken into, and then the few that held infected in them. She stayed clear of those, hoping to find a place she could call her own soon.

She had thought of trying her luck in Ikea, but found a smaller furniture shop on her way there. There was no one around so she decided that it was hers, giving hard looks to those around her to make sure they knew that it was already taken. She started to move around the shop, picking up things that she didn't think she would have use of. There were plenty of things laying around and she would rather be safe then sorry. She started to barricade the front of the store, leaving an small entrance so that she could see everyone that came in. She didn't plan on letting anyone into her little home, but she was smart enough to know that it would be impossible to keep everyone out. So instead she wanted to control the flow, allowing her to know who was in her home and prevent too many people from coming in.

She continued to stack things, sorting everything she found into different piles. Some were potential weapons she could use while others could be used for fire. There were a few things that she was sure could be used as bandages also and kept those where her "bedroom" would be. Although it was far from being like her apartment she wasn't sure how long they would be there, so it was best to do what she could.

Abby was almost done setting up the place when one of the other mall goers came and pushed down one of her deference. She was about to go off on them when they turned and ran. With a sigh she started to pick things up again, mumbling about making it bigger and better while she did so.

This time it would be bigger, better, and there was no way it would be so easily defeated. As mad as she was she wanted to thank the person who had broken her defenses. At least now she knew their weaknesses.

Finally she was happy with how it looked. She was going to go out and try and see what others had done, and if she could get more things to add, but instead she decided to wait. Wait and see if anyone would come again and attack.

Abby : 10 NPC : 8
She waited and waited, and finally they came. They came and attacked, trying to pull down what she had built. However it didn't fall like last time. This time it held strong, and Abby was proud. They left finally and she decided it was time to go to IKEA. Her place was safe now, but it could be cooler. It had to be better.
