Clean up, Aisle 3


--The Rules--
This'll be the first RP i've tried to run...but I don't plan on doing much running. We'll all just take it and shape it as it comes to us...help each other tell a great story! If you're interested, just PM a profile skele, like this one:

Username: (Obvious)

Character name: (Also Obvious)

Shopping List: (Pick a few veggies, and a soup, if you like. This part's not really important, I just thought it would be fun to include tidbits like this.)

Character's Story: (Explaination regarding what your char has picked out so far. Get creative, make it as long as you like, just keep it coherent.)

Aisle: (where your char was/will be shopping)

Appearance: And whatever other details you wanna throw in!

Now that we've got that outta the way, here's the premise: (based on an idea that struck me as i was walking around in a local supermarket.) The world's grocery stores have all remained normal. Much of the globe has stayed completely the same, not from economic fallout, but from neglect, as much of the population was unemployed, leaving the stores unattended. The humans that were not bankrupted by the recent elections have become something...else. Circulation and reproduction have become superfluous for these new life forms. Only a rudimentary nervous and motor system still functions. That, and the most basic of human instincts is still intact--feed. Yes, the world has become overrun by SHOPPERS. Picky, choosy shoppers. No one has been found immune to the disease, but it's not harmful. A band of shoppers has banded together, and comandeered a few shopping carts, in hopes of using it to gather more food and find dinner.


Here's a breif description of the typical Cashier:
-Not actually undead or in-human, most cashiers are your typical teenager.
-Although slightly rebelious, the slightest hint of being fired causes the Cashier to work double time.
-Cashiers in fact DO NOT like to take your coupons. Be prepared to talk to a manager.


Additionally, by request of certain Gaia members, window shoppers are also acceptable characters.

-They are infected with a different strain, that was released some years after the economic downturn.-They crave human flesh and blood, but there is nothing supernatural about them.
-They retain most of their humanity, and still can become shoppers if they have their credit cards.
-After a period of some time, their human circulatory system will give out, and they will begin to spend as the cravings for shoes become worse.

Ok, now here's the rest of the rules:

1. God-Moding (controlling other players characters) is permitted, but don't go nuts. Only do it if it's ABSOLUTELY necessary to make your post make sense.
2. There are no superheroes or giant robots or ninjas, etc. The characters are just normal human shoppers.
3. There won't be any villains in this story, except for the deli workers themselves.
4. Keep profanity to a minimum, the supermarket is a family environment.
5. Pay attention to what others post, to keep the story consistant.
6. Romance is allowed, but let's keep it PG-13.
7. Plot twists and surprises are more than welcome, but be consistant with everyone else.
8. Be reasonable and have fun with it!
9. This is a pretty normal RP, nothing should be abnormal. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE a soup can gets dropped and dented, or the pickles wind up in the floor on aisle 4, but no vampires, zombies, or villains. Just a normal day of shopping. NORMALLY.
