Location: Shopping Mall; Specific Location Unknown

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.

Noemi peeked a little over Scout's shoulder, though the girl was no taller then herself. She was dressed plainly, with her now shoulder length red/navy blue hair pulled back into a small ponytail. She borrowed one of Shu's many oversized sweaters seeing as for some reason, her own clothes had been damaged by the time she was away. Which she assumed was due to the damp basement and no airing of them.

Anyways, they had come out to shop! Shop till the drop! More specifically for the leaders of the Island but shopping was shopping and Scout seemed to be pretty calm about it.

And thanks to Scout's calmness, Noemi was only HALF of the timid ball of mess she usually was.

"S...So....Where should we start?" She looked at her list of who she was meant to be shopping for. And then at the Golem that was following her with some sort of gleam in his eye.

"I..I...Is it me...or the H golem......staring......" She meant he was, but why was he staring so intently at them. They were going to go shopping for him...or at least Noemi was.....

"I'm not sure where to start ... but I believe we are to use these lists we've been given?" She tugged nervously at the paper she'd been handed, leaning in close as though she couldn't read the text. It must have been in a different language, because Scout didn't understand the words (what was a Naruto Kyuubi?) or the symbols (they were faces or something?).

At least Noemi's cute personality was calming her considerably. She had to keep herself from looking at the girl as more than a friend, but it was nice to have a more timid sort; one that wouldn't berate her for mistakes.

The orange-haired golem approached her somewhat mechanically (Scout was of course immediately inebriated with interest over how the golems functioned). "I suppose this one's mine?" She poked it's arm lightly, which garnered no response. There was a sympathetic look to Noemi, considering her golem looked totally creepy. "It's just a robot ... or something." Truth be told, Scout had no idea what it was. "Should we go through?" she asked, gesturing to the portal.
