Step Two Reattempt - 3, 3 - Success
Obviously, twine and tape wasn't going to hold out the undead. That was stupid on Lissa's part to assume, she was sure. It was better to just gather all the materials she had on-hand and take a thorough inventory, so that this time she could plan more efficiently.

Step Three Attempt, Lissa - 6
This time, Lissa had a blueprint. She would build her wall taller, stronger, for she had the technology. This time, when she set off for Wizard-breath, she did so with fervent determination. Her wall had spikes on it this time, and she'd done a bit of boarding up with the nails she'd harvested out of some of the more broken shelves. She was ready this time for sure.

Step Three Counterattempt, Wizard-Breath - 3 - Step Three Success
"Now let's see here..." Wizard-Breath eyed the sizable fortress up and down, looking for faults in the system while Lissa beamed behind him. He tried to press between the spikes, but the wall stood solid against his faux attack.
"I told you the blueprint made it better," Lissa grinned, sauntering over to her latest achievement to give it an affectionate pat. "This little baby is zombie proof once I get the doors shut."
"By blueprints, did you mean this posterboard with the crayon on it?" Wizard-Breath frowned, poking at one of the more decorative pieces of the Anti-Zombie Wall.
"Blue-prints." Lissa's corrected, and her expression darkened as she crossed her arms. "Did I stutter?"
"Okay, okay, they look solid," said the man, holding his hands up in defeat. "...Can I go now?"
"You are dismissed."

Step Four Part One - 2 - Failure
Now came the hard part--decking out Lissa's sweet crib with all the stuff she could carry. Most of the other stores had long since been looted for their good stuff, so Lissa meandered over to the one place she knew had supplies.
IKEA.
So yeah, Guy had said something about it not being entirely safe and to take a buddy, but Lissa was on a time crunch, and she wanted to have her pad ready to show off as soon as possible. Water bottle in tow, she creaked open the security doors and wandered inside, taking in all there was to behold.

Step Four Part One - 3 - Failure
IKEA had been a fun store to loiter around in during her breaks before the outbreak, but with so much of the showroom damaged it was hard for Lissa to make heads or tails of the place. Had this all been done by shamblers? Or was it living, breathing people that had turned this place into a wreck?
Lissa wasn't sure which answer was worse.

It was still so surreal, to be in here after it had all gone to s**t. Lissa stared vacantly at the upended furniture as she clambered about. What exactly was she going to need to make this whole setup work?

Step Four Part One - 1 - Success
A desk? Could be handy to have, but something she could fashion out of her leftover shelves. A couch? Tempting, but probably too much to carry all the way back to the craft store. Chairs? Probably not space efficient, especially with how much room the blanket-fort took. Kitchen things were pretty much moot, she wasn't going to be cooking much of anything inside the glitter bomb.
So then, what...?

A mattress.
The blanket fort was all well and good, but an honest-to-god mattress would take Lissa's surroundings up to a whole new level. It was possible that all of the good mattresses had been looted when the outbreak began, but if she could just navigate around, then maybe...?

But wait, hadn't the exit been that way? It had seemed so easy to get out of when she was wandering in, but with the lights as dim as they were and the walls of the showrooms broken down, the place seemed even more massive and foreboding than usual. Lissa hummed to herself in thought, then branched left, putting a hand to the wall. The way out had to be around here somewhere.

Maybe not. Lissa's journey ended with a crumbled wall and a pile of debris that hadn't been part of IKEA's intended chic design. Still, now that she was in the thick of things, there was no other choice but to continue onwards.

Lissa found herself in the hallway of display mattresses, which was great excepting the part that they were all pinned under a pile of carts and thin sheets of wood.
She was starting to regret not bringing along that safety buddy.

Escape the labyrinth -
Yeah, a safety buddy was beginning to feel entirely crucial for this part of the mall, especially when Lissa thought she could hear things shuffling about in the rubble. It had to be her mind, or maybe the missing animal friends...right?
