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.
- You can buy more than one item from the store.
- You can buy your own hunter additional items or purchase additional items for the lead golems out of pocket. Who knows? It might pay off in the long run...

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 if entering, roll again if you just purchased something.
  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. Due to a very fussy golem, if you receive this three times you can ignore it from the fourth roll onward. The golem will be very sulky afterwards and may act like a giant wo/man-child but hey, thems the lil breaks. You also don't need to roll again, provided you haven't bought nothing yet.
  8. "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.
  9. "Aren't you missing something?"
    Effect: Lose something you've purchased. If you've purchased nothing, you lose the list.
  10. "Hey, nice job!"
    Effect: The golem is pretty happy.
  11. "...You're joking."
    Effect: The golem is sulking.
  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. If you do not get all of the items, 1 mission reward point + look of pity from the Lighthouse Hunters, plus three days of toilet cleaning.

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.

If you lose the list: -$25 is deducted from your paycheck before a Hunter pulls you aside and teaches you how to back the list up on your phone. If the list was on your phone to start with, -$200 to purchase a replacement phone.

Tips/Suggestions:

To move at a faster rate, roll 3d20: first roll represents what store you're going into, the second the golem's opinion of the store, and the last is the golem's reaction to buying an item. Not recommended if you're doing it in groups since doing this pretty much means you're soloing the entire time.

Can I choose which store to enter first?
That's fine. Think of the stores you roll = the least crowded. Assume you have only 2 IC hours to do this, so the stores that are open/least crowded = best chance to get everything done.

Can I buy more than one item at a store?
Yes, but be sure to roll a golem response for each item purchased!

Kiki had been hurried off with two others after harassing one of her peers with her whining. If she wanted to be let out to get proper Princess Training Clothes and a Whopper? She could do it herself, along with a list of things their superiors needed.

The tiny lady with a scrunched up face of haughtiness hopped up to the portal with two other hunters. After an odd exchange with the hunter on duty, Kiki rolled her dice. "So like... this golem is my uh... lackey?" She asked hopefully, before having a shopping list shoved at her.

"My pack mule? Pack mule, right?" She hesitated as an H golem was produced for her. Kiki smirked, and then laughed a low, witchy cackle.

"Oh <********> yes." Her own Division lead as her lackey. Perfection.

Well this was unexpected. Heidi had not planned on going on a mission today, but when was that kind of thing really her choice? She didn't even know the two people she was with. Welp, no time like the present to learn, eh?

"You're more of a babysitter, really," she explained to Kiki. The H golem was given a curious look before she turned and spotted Edith. Oh, good! Her own division leader. She looked down at the list. Most of this was stuff she would buy for herself anyway! Easy en--..a push up bra? Well..okay...

"We need to get what's on their lists, what's H asking for?" Heidi glanced at Kiki's list.

...A pregnancy test? "Uh..o...kaaaay.." Who did their other companion get?
PostPosted: Sun Oct 12, 2014 8:00 pm


Kiki shrugged. "Maybe he's late." She joked with a straight face, merely assuming it had to do with minipets or something.

“… I’ve… I’ve only the vaguest idea of what this list means.” Zac said staring at the list he’d gotten. Allan, fine… but the nature of the list, and the budget rather gave him an edge of concern. He had an awful feeling he’d need to be picking up parts from what was left of his own paycheck and tattoo earnings.


“…What is a bankai?” he asked looking up at the other two with a perturbed look on his face. “…and should I be reading something into all these question marks do you think?”

Kiki peeked at Zac's list, her eyes going dead. "Oh. He's one of those..." She smacked his back and walked into the portal. "Good luck with that." She liked anime well enough, but Allen seemed like one of those Weeboo losers. Below her.

Heidi just stared at Kiki. It took her a minute to catch it, but when she did she couldn't help but snort. Maybe it was for some weird science experiment. He was the head of Life, right? Maybe that's what H stood for. Head.

"What's Allan asking?" Heidi asked when Zac brought up his confusion. She leaned over to get a peek at it. Huh. Alrighty then. "Bankai's an anime thing. From Bleach. I'm uh..not sure if we can find most of what he wants in the mall...these're more things you find at a con.." Weird.

"Oh, right. I'm Heidi." Introductions. Right.

"I'm Kiki." She said this as if it were way more important than any and all introductions.

Kiki dragged H's golem to the Disney Store, as she felt a pilgrimage to Princess Mecca was imperative. "H's list is majorly specific. I don't think malls have most of this s**t!"

"H, why are you such an old man? Maybe this place has a tie..." Cause it certainly wouldn't have a pregnancy test.

Heidi smiled at their companion, their so far nameless companion. "If we can't find the exact thing, we'll just..improvise! We'll find something as close to it as we can. Except for that suit H is asking for, it says you can only get it at one store..."

But.

Disney store.

Heidi looked down at her list and then at the store Kiki was walking into.

Disney store.

"With a list like Allan's..I'm..sure there's something in the Disney store that will make him happy."

They were going in the Disney store, Zac. With. Or. Without. You.

As far as he knew, Maybe they were right, maybe he COULD find something in there, anime was more or less cartoons, right? And disney had done those 'Ghibli' movies, right? Those were defiantly anime.

"Um… alright, disney store it is…" he hesitated a moment.

"But if anyone starts making jokes about Lelo and Stitch, I'm gone."

"Hmmm improvise, eh?" Kiki mused, dragging H by the hand into the store. H seemed to be elated by the whole thing, easily distracted by the various toys. "We need to get you a tie and surgical gloves..."

She smirked and grabbed a winter scarf and mittens with Princesses on them. "Close enough!"

H was busy being mesmerized by her finds, so she didn't keep too close an eye on him.

"Anime and Disney are so not the same thing." Kiki huffed, tossing some hair over her shoulder. "But like, if all he wants is action figures, why not get like...." She pointed at a display of figurines that came in themed sets from various movies. "He'll be the most disappointed kid at Christmas."

"H, don't touch that. We're going to another store after thi---"

"I DON'T WANNA GO YET." Whined the finely aged doctor, brushing the hair of a Rapunzel doll. Kiki gave a flat stare. "I won't be able to look him in the eye after this..."
