Location: Shopping Mall; Specific Location Unknown
Images:: x, x, x.
General debriefing: With the holiday season fast approaching, the division leaders have a very important tasks for hunters willing to step up to the challenge: brave the holiday season crowds and get some things for them. In addition, hunters are also tasked with escorting a golem fashioned after the division leader they're shopping for. Hunters will then task this golem with trying on clothes to ensure a good fit.
Mission Budget: Hunters will be issued a prepaid debit card to use. All unspent funds will be returned to Deus Ex. Any additional clothes a hunter purchases for either their division lead or themselves will come out of their own pocket.
* E class difficulty level (anyone may attempt; all hunters regardless of rank will be monitored])

MECHANICS

* MECHANICS:
- As you enter to pick up the mission, the Hunter at the lighthouse portal stops you. "Sorry, we're doing luck of the draw here." He points to a six-sided dice. A literal, six sided dungeons and dragons dice that they probably stole from Mark.
- RP rolling the dice for luck. There is an actual IC list of what the dices match up to:
1 = Allan, 2 = Aria, 3= Caelius, 4 = H, 5 = Edith, 6 = you choose, lucky you.
- After you take the gamble, the Hunter on portal duty will activate a princess golem and a shopping list. The princess golem is because the division leads hate mistakes, so any clothing you get for them better be a perfect fit and match. Once there, your hunter (and golem) will be dropped off at a mall. Roll 5d20 to determine what shops you get (see below). Visit the online site/catalogue of these sites to do your shopping, and try to get stuff which you think best matches who you have to shop for.
- Remember to refer to the request list to ensure that you're getting everything you need for that person
- If you go with more than one person, each person needs a golem (duplicates are up to you, otherwise you may reroll if you feel the RP would benefit better from different golems). Every golem will come with a separate budget. The only thing you and your group will share are the stores you get.
- * Golem Reactions: Occasionally the golem will spout a random phrase, as well as react positively/negatively to what you have selected. See list of predisposed dialogue, which you can use further down. All golems use the same dialogue, they are princess golems after all!

Budget*
- Using the stores you rolled for below, you must try to get all the items while staying in budget. Budget will depend on the golem; each golem has a different prepaid card/budget amount. Simply browse the online catalogs provided, or improvise with items you think could be found in those stores. If you don't, any additional items must come out of your own paycheck, ouch. Good luck getting something as close as possible to the contents on the list (if you can't find anything, improvise!). Also the lighthouse sentries aren't letting you back until you actually fulfill the list, out of respect and a healthy dose of fear.

Golem phrases:
Roll when entering a store/trying on a new piece of clothing. Improvise when needed, ie "I'm not wearing that" when entering a store can be tweaked to "I'm not wearing anything from here."

  1. "Not bad."
    Effect: Golem approves of your choice.
  2. "We're not going in there."
    Effect: Reroll a store.
  3. "I'm not wearing that."
    Effect: Pick a new item.
  4. "My star barrettes are fabulous!"
    Effect: None.
  5. "I want that one instead."
    Effect: Look at the item you're viewing on the page. Move two items left. Your golem wants that item instead.
  6. "Let's go over here!"
    Effect: Your golem drags you to another store. Reroll.
  7. "Wait. I forgot something! We're going back."
    Effect: Return to a previous store. If you get this on the first roll, visit the first store twice.
  8. "Let's take a break. My treat."
    Effect: You spend 15 min at a cafe being watched uncomfortably by the golem as it attempts small chatter. Lose -$5 from your paycheck. At least the golem didn't blow its own cover by trying to eat something.
  9. "Aren't you missing something?"
    Effect: Lose something you've purchased.
  10. "Hey, nice job!"
    Effect: The golem is pretty happy.

  12. "Does this make my butt look big?"
    Effect: The golem is insecure and is looking for a compliment.
  13. "So, what are your plans?"
    Effect: Is the golem attempting to hit on you, or is it sincerely asking you what you want to do as a hunter?!
  14. "Can you suggest something for me?"
    Effect: Pick something out. Roll 1d4. Even, the golem is happy and accepts the suggestion. Buy it. Odd, the golem rejects it.
  15. "What do you think of this?"
    Effect: The golem randomly picks something out. Roll 1d4. Even, the golem is happy and buys it. Odd, the golem looks disappointed and puts it back.
  16. "Hey. You try this on too."
    Effect: The golem forces you to wear the latest outfit/clothing item you purchased.
  17. "You should change your outfit too."
    Effect: The golem forces you into purchasing a whole new outfit and wear it for the duration of the mission.
  18. "ERROR QUERY: LOCATION? INPUT NEEDED."
    Effect: The golem looks at you blankly as shoppers around at you give you an odd look as they begin to whisper among themselves. Choose a store, any store.
  19. "..."
    Effect: The golem is giving you a heavy, cold stare. You feel shamed.
  20. "I want two of these."
    Effect: Double the next item on the list, ie you need two now.


* 3 mission reward points for completing this successfully

In addition, for going on this mission you may also choose to shop FOR YOURSELF and update your hunter's wardrobe/things. It'll come out of your own pay check however.

Choosing: Caelius

It was true; Shiloh’s supply of clothes that were not blue, mud stained or so filled with static shock they were unbearable was dwindling quickly. When the new EM details were posted, he’d balked a little at whom they’d be shopping for, rather than the mission itself. Shopping was easy, and crowds were easy. The division leads on Deus were anything but easy. Still, he needed the clothes, or else he was going to end up taking over all of his friend’s wardrobes, and there were just some intimate garments that he didn’t want to borrow.

He made his way towards the lighthouse, all too familiar now with it’s path, and stared at the sentry posted there, and the proposed dice in his hand. Shiloh gave it a roll, not really wishing for anyone in particular and simply stared further when he rolled a six. Choice was good, right?

Wrong.

Shiloh had had it with freedom. Seeking freedom and choices only ended badly, especially when Deus was involved. As if to make up for the fact that he’d been granted a small amount of freedom, he hastily chose Caelius, as though picking his worst option would somehow keep fate from thinking he had anything worthwhile to take away. It was pre-emptive punishment. It was also that he had no idea what the hell a Naruto was, and as much as he enjoyed shopping for skirts and bras – he didn’t. And he certainly wasn’t going to touch the highest budget, since he was certain that if he failed his mission, he wouldn’t have any money leftover for underwear.

So, Caelius it was. He nodded at the sentry, and thanked him politely as he was handed a shopping list. The golem was activated, and Shiloh shivered a little bit; it’s glare was every bit as cold as the real thing. Maybe some good old Christmas cheer would warm it up.

here goes

Disney Store /


"Let's take a break. My treat."
Effect: "My treat" is a filthy lie. You spend 15 min at a cafe being watched uncomfortably by the golem as it attempts small chatter. Lose -$5 from your paycheck. At least the golem didn't blow its own cover by trying to eat something. If entering a store, you're pulled away before you can go in. If purchasing something, you're dragged to one immediately after. /


"Does this make my butt look big?"
Effect: The golem is insecure and is looking for a compliment.
