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:

  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.

  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.

He didn't really want to brave the mall during the holiday season, but...Ian was starting to feel less like sitting around and more like doing something, so he decided (for once) to actually get up and go on a little mission. Even if said mission was really very strange.

Except if he was going to suffer so was someone else.

Quinn looked at the text for a second.

Hunting?

kurotomato

Text to Ian:
What sort of hunting? Should i try and find a gun or maybe some sort of Camo?

Was this a stealth mission?

Unless he wanted to go hunting somewhere very white, they would stick out like sore thumbs. Even then, both Ian and Quinn had darker complexions. They would still stick out.

Ian eyed his phone.

He still wondered what he meant by hunting, but showed up anyways. Ian was steadily becoming someone Quinn could trust, and that meant following even if he said said to come in his full gear. He mentioned wearing normal stuff, and being as it was kind of cold that meant a turtleneck that was covered by a marge sweater, jeans, and his usual Ugg boots that the pants were tucked in to.

"So....two questions." He said once near, looking up at Ian curiously. "One... What are we hunting?" After all it was the more important question. "Two,... how many nicknames can you actually make for my name?" It was actually said with curiosity. It seemed he had a new one every time they met.

Ian was in a pair of dark wash jeans artfully torn at the knees and a plain black teeshirt covered by an old, well-worn leather jacket that was clearly much loved. He was idly twisting the bracelet on his wrist when Quinn arrived, and gave him a winning smile. Clapping a hand on his friend's shoulder, he leaned closer and said conspiratorially, "Quinsedilla, We are hunting..."

A pause.

"Holiday shoppers."

With a shake of his head, Ian slapped Quinn's shoulder in a friendly sort of way and leaned back, grinning. "Basically we have to run errands for the heads or something," he said. Digging into his pocket, he pulled out a crumpled list. "The guy at the portal gave me this thing...it says Doctor H?"

Another nickname. Quinn sighed softly, apparently pointing it out gave it more nicknames. He was betting he was to hear a lot more in the near future.

Oki snorted in amused agreement.

He paused, and took a second to stare at Ian blankly. ."Wait did you just say Doctor H?" Quinn visibly paled.

"... Thats my boss." He had yet to meet the man in person. "The leader of Life Division." Sort of over kill to say both but, hey he was a little shocked.

He only stared down at his own paper piece too. "We are shopping for Division leads??????" He held up the piece of paper he received randomly with 'Caelius' written on it to Ian.

Ian just looked at Quinn. "I have no idea who he is," he admitted, but then added, "Plus I'm not in Life, which means that I get to shop for your boss. Sounds, uh..." He tried to think of a proper word, failed, and instead clapped Quinn on the shoulder again, dragging him (and their golems) towards the portal. "Come on, let's go, let's go time's a waistin'."

Needless to say, the mall was stuffed. And enormous. Ian squinted down at the paper in his hand. "Okay, uh...I need...wait, why does a male doctor need a pregnancy test strip, that's a little creepy..."

Somehow he'd managed to walk into Foot Locker without realizing it, Ian hardly even paying attention.

"Fine wine, suit...jeez, this guy likes classy stuff."

"He is the Death Division lead." Quinn replied when Ian didn't seem to know who the guy on his paper was.

Needless to say, suddenly the life sized golem showed up and Quinn felt himself visibly pale. He had never really met either of them, keeping his distance but... they still seemed a little scary. Maybe it was the fact they were golems.

Though it wasn't long until they were in the mall, a very crowded mall.

A crowded mall with so many places to sh- wait where did Ian go?

"...I-ian?" He called, no one answering. Oh no.

Ooohhh crap. IAN WHERE ARE YOU?

Quinn, still wondering where the hell Ian went, decided he needed to try and shop while looking for him.

So he first chose to go inside American Eagle... seemed a safe bet right?

One of the items on the list was a shirt. Last time he saw Cael he was wearing a white one, so that seemed a safe bet.

"I'm not wearing that."


...."Oh, Okay."

"Let's take a break. My treat."

The treat was nice, well... Cael bought him a candy bar while he himself got a mocha latte from starbucks.

Really Quinn was ready to try another store,

"Wait. I forgot something! We're going back."


....Back to the first store? Okay...
