    Default [Nexus] Mallside VI


    Mallside is the biggest shopping center in Nexus, containing more stores than you count, which range from all purpose marts to outlets catering to specific needs. The only Nexus mall worth going to also contains a trendy two level food court that sells items ready to go on the first floor, and provides a more formal and relaxed environment on the second. As if all that were not enough, it boasts a state of the art arcade (the Neon Coliseum) as well, which is complete with its own laser tag arena!

    The tall, sleek modern building stands proud in the center of Market Street, its doors open to all comers, whether they're browsers, customers, or just people who want to enjoy the mall's atmosphere.

    Azik's Enchantments (Player: Harnel)
    Spoiler
    Show
    A creature stands outside the shop, though many wouldn't consider it a creature - He is a warforged, a living golem. Covered in what appears to be adamantine plates, he looks up and down the mall's walkway, his longcoat shifting with his movement. As it moves, one can see a multitude of wands, schema, and scrolls all attached to several belts around his waist and upper legs. On his eyes he wears a pair of blue tinted shades, despite his lack of ears, and the metal orbs that serve as his eyes glow green behind these spectacles. He takes the time to call out to those passing in a metallic voice:

    "Azik's Enchantments is open for business! Come find a potion, a wand, a scroll to fit any need! We have spellbooks for beginners and experts! Weapons of all shapes and sizes, and armor unlike anything you've ever seen! Come find what you're looking for here!"

    And then he heads back inside. So much work, so little time. Inside is as strange as outside, with magic trinkets lining the walls on shelves, but all behind the counter, to keep any stupid kid with the idea to steal something from doing so. You can find just about anything magical here, and that which you can't find, Azik the Warforged can make within a more than reasonable timeframe.


    Barkhouse Bestiary (Player: Rebonack)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Over the entrance hangs a sign with a silhouette of a dog baying at the name. 'Barkhouse Bestiary'. Given the unusual wooden make of the store this appears to be a double-pun.

    It looks like a pet store!

    The architecture is quite different from the rest of the mall. In fact, it looks almost like the shop had been grown out of living wood inside of its room instead of assembled. All smooth, organic curves here. Cages and aquariums abound, holding all fashion of different animals.

    The store itself is split into areas holding animals supplies and the animals themselves. Small mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, even giant spiders! This place has it all!

    Another sign inside the store states that they take custom orders.

    Lando the Jediwizard and Divaonar the starspawn both work here. Lando is an elderly bearded man in a brown jedi robe and a frumpy wizard hat. Divaonar is a half-drow boy (most of the time) usually dressed in fairly modern apparel.


    Bunny Ears Boutique (Player: Lil Shiro)
    Spoiler
    Show
    As you enter past the green, fluffy entrance of the outlet, you enter a heavily forest themed store. Heck, the place even faintly smells of sap. The sound of running water is coming from somewhere in the distance. Once you get over the fact that you aren't in kansas anymore, you will notice two delightfully fashionable and pretty Vieras waving in your direction, question whether or not you are in need of in need of assistance. They could be sisters, from the looks of them. That's because they are. Eldena and Celia are their names, and they have brought their wonderful fashion sense to Mallside just for you.

    The store is full of various clothing items, all in the latest fashions (or the oldest depending on your choice of outfit). We must not forget all the jewelry out on display at the cashier's counter.

    The fashion world is now at your disposal.


    Cecily's Millinery und Hat Magic (Players: Happyturtle or Vampire Rot)
    Spoiler
    Show
    A little hut on chicken legs wanders the mall when its bored, but will set itself down for customers. On the wall of the hut, is a large sign:

    Once inside, you will see hats. Hats everywhere! A sample of her inventory can be seen here. Or you can google Ascot hat if you want to have your mind blown. O.o

    If you can tear your eyes away from the hats, behind the counter will be either a Cecily, a Jaeger lady or a Eig'Quzi, a purple demon. Both of them, of course, wear spiffy hats.

    Spoiler
    Show
    All of Cecily's hats come standard with a treatment that repels water, blocks stains, and resists ordinary damage. Of course extraordinary attempts to destroy them will probably succeed, but they should emerge from a standard random encounter unscathed.

    Cost is x gold per hat, plus y gold per enchantment added. Very special hats may require special pricing, such as quests.



    Cinema 26
    Spoiler
    Show
    26 is the number of screens here at the Mallside Cinema, each of which has all the latest innovations and features. We have Imax, we have 3D, we have 4D, sometimes when the stars are in the right we have 7D (view at your own risk.) And of course we have top of the line concessions and refreshments. Come enjoy our cool theaters and large screens.


    Electronics Aslyum (Player: Lost Deep)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Saying that this place is full of tech items is like saying a cave is full of rock: The bulk of the space is taken up by shelves of tech items, and the occasional help terminal. On the floor is a marked graph system, permitting anyone to find an object easily by going to that point. There are really two halves to the store: a “General electronics” half and a “video games” half.

    The electronics half has cell phones, computers, lap tops, monitors, and almost every wire or additional doodad that could be used with such items. For those wishing to construct a computer themselves (or add on to a current one) video cards, motherboards, RAM, and everything else you could need can be bought here. Printers, scanners, cameras, and software are also on this side of the store. There are even motors, breadboards, LEDs, and other items for the electronic hobbyist.

    The game half of the store has games from most every system, and all the current systems can be bought here. There are a number of promotional videos and game demos going, featuring all the newest and upcoming items in the world of video games. Consoles and systems can also be bought here, as can most of the accessories. New releases can often be pre-ordered and picked up here (sometimes with sweet little bonuses).

    The front counter has a couple of things of note behind it, like the owner Eliza Hexadecimal. She will be more than happy to help you with anything, and is not a robot. The front counter is also where electronics can be sold, traded in, or put in for repairs.

    Overall, the store ranges in tech level and technology type. DOS computers, holographic projectors, steampunk gearboxes… given the size of the store, it’s rather impressive that all this can fit in here. There are a number of guides available to help the technically-inclined in the nexus; specifically to help them make all the different technological systems work together. These guides are also available for free on the Electronics Asylum website, but solid copies are cheap in the store.

    Anti-theft system: most of the items in the store have items on them, and there are sensors flanking the entrance. If an item is brought to close to the entrance, a voice comes up politely reminding the customer that they need to buy the item before removing it from the store. If a thief would try to take an item past the large, white columns framing the entrance, the security system will activate. Eliza seems to like to mess with the system, so the details may change from day to day. One thing that stays somewhat solid is a loud voice calling the Mall Kopz to apprehend the perpetrator, but the system often includes a solid attempt to immobilize or subdue the thief itself.


    Erin's Emporium (Player: The Bushranger)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Erin's Emporium takes up only a small space in the mall, but its entire front is covered in windows, showing off the much larger space within. On display are countless weapons, ranging from flashy to functional to mind boggling.

    If it is a weapon, you can find it here, whether it is a sword or a futuristic explosive. Further, they offer the same wide variety in defense devices.


    Gadgets and Gizmos (Player: KerfuffleMach2)
    Spoiler
    Show
    This store holds many different kinds of gadgets. Best way to describe it would be if ThinkGeek.com was a store. And it isn't just electronic, high-tech stuff, ether. You can find unique board games and collectibles, funky toys, even some clothes. It's a geek's dream store. Molly keeps the stock up to date with today's technology.


    Haemonics (Player: Happyturtle)
    Spoiler
    Show
    This shop, located along one of the side halls far from the Food Court, buys and sells blood. They buy only from live and willing donors, who come to the premises and have their blood drawn. More money will be paid for blood that is rare, magical, especially tasty, or that has any other special properties. Donors can donate as much and as often as is healthy and safe for them.

    The blood is then available to purchase, no questions asks. Wizards, vampires, sentient mosquitoes, or anyone who simply has a use for blood is able to buy. Like a standard computer game shop, blood is sold for double the price paid to the donor.

    A sign in the shop window says
    Need Gold?
    Donate Blood Today!
    Blood4Gold!


    (If I don't respond within a day of you arriving in the shop, please toss a poke my way in the OOC thread. )


    Hoarders (Player: Rebonack)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Before you looms the cave-like entrance of Hoarders bookstore. Everything in the place has a rough-hewn stone motif, though the floor is smooth and level. Heatless torches light the cavern and burn a little brighter when someone nearby opens a book from off the shelves.

    Books of all fashion can be found here, from the mundane to the magical. If aid is required one of the half-dragon employees will be more than happy to lend a claw.

    The Book Wyrm himself is rarely seen. Though some say he'll occasionally disguise himself as a customer and wander the store...


    Jurga's Bargain Hut (Player: RandomPoster)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Landed atop the sleek structure that is Mallside is a Barloz-class medium freighter; a relatively recent arrival to the arrangement of stores within the area. While most such ships are cargo vessels; this one has been converted into a store.

    Selling countless items of various worlds from his own galaxy, Jurga claims to have the largest of such collections in the Nexus. Whether it be droids, electronics, weaponry, works of literature, or even food, Jurga has the goods you're looking for!*

    *Not including live specimens


    Lucy's Diamonds (Player: Gulaghar))
    Spoiler
    Show
    Lucy's Diamonds is a small shop. The owner, an older woman by the name of Lucy Skye, stands behind a single glass case that runs the length of the left wall. It acts as a display as well at the counter. Across from it are another two smaller glass displays. At the back of the store and behind the counter is a door.


    Magmart (Player: Magtok)
    Spoiler
    Show
    An absurd mash-up of K-Mart, Wall-Mart, Target, and every other vile retail chain, MagMart is staffed by an unswervingly loyal Magbots, lobotomized talking cats that are too brain-dead to know any better, several voodoo spirits, and a pickle jar that everyone insists is a sentient being that only communes with those who truly believe in it.

    Here you can find everything from curtains to carpets, macaroni to monkeys on motorcycles, groceries to zombies. The staff is always happy to help (or else), and if you aren't entirely satisfied with your shopping experience, you can pay a small fee to watch the MagMart employee of your choosing get fired out the MagMart complimentary employee morale cannon.


    Mask Parade (Player: Gulaghar)
    Spoiler
    Show
    The interiour of the store is filled with row upon row of simple, wooden shelves. The only break in the shelves is to allow customers to walk to the counter on the far wall.

    The shelves are filled with countless masks of a wide variety. Similarly, the walls are covered from floor to ceiling in masks. Behind the counter the masks almost seem to form a spiral shape while elsewhere they are arranged in neat rows. Without exception the masks are finely crafted.

    The owner of the store is an unassuming man. His eyes are always focused on those who are in his shop. Perhaps to reassure the customers, or unsettle them further, the corners of his lips are always turned up in a friendly smile. He is known only as The Mask Salesman.


    Mental Menagerie (Player: Slii Arhem)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had chosen a new career, married a different spouse, or maybe just had the time to take a load off once in awhile? Wonder no more. From instantaneous vacations to new and exciting thoughts, gain the benefit of decades of research and lifetimes of backbreaking toil without all the hassle of doing things the old fashioned way. We are the Mental Menagerie, and we sell experience.


    M'usic Imporium (Player: ThePhantom)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Instruments fill the store, with a small stage area to the left of the entrance. A sign saying that lessons are available for people who ask is on the door, and a list of times for sessions when people can just walk in and start playing music is by the mic resting on the stage.
    Mil C. Noce, the store’s manager, often is behind the counter, with a black bird like being sitting on his shoulder.
    (For people willing to pay more, Mil will bring out the instruments with special tricks.)


    Mystique Physique (Player: Lost_Deep)
    Spoiler
    Show
    At first glance, this store is something of a beauty parlor. On the outside is a number of before and after pictures, some of them very different. The inside appears to be cut in half; one part looks like a doctor's office waiting room and the other half is a jewelry store. Each piece of jewelry registers as having magic in it.

    They sell a variety of body-tweaking magical items, varying from jewelry to one-use potions, and also provide magical alteration for the body. Whether it's shaking off that one injury, fixing up a few scars, or making yourself into someone, or something, completely different, Mystique Physique can fill most bodily needs.


    Neon Coliseum (Player: Lost Deep and Vael)
    Spoiler
    Show
    The Neon Coliseum is easy to spot from across the room. The large, bright orange sign serves to draw the attention of anyone who walks by, and the doorway is lit with great arcs of green and pink neon. Upon closer inspection, the doorway is a large arch, designed to look like black stone… but that ends at the entrance.

    The inside is black carpet with white designs, black walls, and several tons of neon lights. Black lights are also somewhat common, giving any white the usual glow. Pink lights line the corners of the room and ceiling, but most every color of neon that ever existed (and most of the ones that don’t) can be found somewhere in the arcade. The arcade games are as varied as the Nexus itself; everything from Pong and Pac-man to futuristic holographic fighting games. This place has a number of games of every type that an arcade is expected to have… and then some. Dance games, Guitar hero, fighting games, racing games, side scrollers, skee ball, air hockey, chess, holo-chess, ping pong…

    They have another room as well. There are console and PC games in this one, and tournaments are held regularly. The number of games available is borderline mind boggling. Any game worth anything since DOS came out can be found in this room, most of it in digital form. All the consoles and controllers are solidly secured, and stealing anything from the coliseum would be very difficult.

    The entrance to Diffraction Wars, the mall's laser tag arena, can be found at the back of the first room. The laser tag arena itself is slightly foggy, with multiple levels connected by ramps. Mirrors and lenses are common, permitting skilled and clever players to score from unexpected angles.

    Banclaw Dunigoth can be found, either behind the main counter or repairing one of the many machines. In addition to repair, he has taken it upon himself to act as the bouncer of the arcade. He will throw out, literally, anyone who causes trouble. He often aims to throw them towards any nearby Mall Kopz, ensuring the troublemaker’s expedient and rough ejection from the mall if they do not shape up.

    When she's in, Grace usually roams the arcade at random, ensuring that the employees are working well and the customers are satisfied.


    Pontius's Custom Constructs (Player: Earl of Purple)
    Spoiler
    Show
    The sign above the door is large, stating its name. On either side of the door are two humanoid figures, one made of polished marble and very realistic, the other simply hewn from logs and blocks of wood. The figures have glowing blue eyes, and turn to watch passers by. On the door is a sign- "Thieves may be pounded into a bloody pulp."

    Within, there are many statues, both humanoid and not, and of every imaginable material, all with glowing eyes of various colours. There are two doors in the back, one leading to a freezer unit and the other to a chamber filled with bubbling cauldrons.


    Prof. Pi's Potions (And Alchemy) (Player: LordDeathkeeper)
    Spoiler
    Show
    The name above is printed on the sign along with the image of a bubbling flask above the door of this shop. On display from the window is a fine view of the inside of the store, which is neatly organized into a number of sections containing ingredients, supplies, and components of various forms of alchemy along with an enormous assortment of completed potions, all sitting neatly on shelves. That and a pair of little signs:
    "Taste Testers Wanted" and,
    "Familiars and all folk welcome- but please No Pets."
    The shopkeeper and owner, if anyone had to describe him, would describe him as male, wearing a white labcoat and dark pants, with a set of spectacles perched on his nose and a fine mustache below that. Unfortunately while that description is almost always accurate it's often the best anyone can ever give, since his appearance changes with every visit. More often than not he's a two-and-a-half foot tall black-and-white rat-man, his furry hands gloved as he works on some bubbling pot in front of him, waiting for customers.


    Unsullied Bazaar (Player: Shadowcaller)
    Spoiler
    Show
    With a great golden cupola, this shop towers over nearby shops making it easily recognizable. The cupola itself is held up by tall columns which appears to have been made of marble. Floating near the cupola is the illusion of blue-glowing letters spelling out "The Unsullied Bazaar". Anyone with true sight will see that underneath the illusion are slightly less fancy blocks of letters spelling out the very same thing.

    Beyond the pillars a strangely modern-looking shop opens up with large surfaces and clean white walls mixed in with gold framing them in. Everyone might not notice it, but any customers entering the store have to pass a field which stops people who haven't paid for their wares.

    There aren't actually any shelves around however, instead there are illusion-interfaces which directly interacts with anyone entering the store, showing them a rich selection of arcane wares sold at a almost suspiciously cheap price.

    These aren't your standard arcane wares either, most of them seem modern in their design and functions with for example a cell phone-like devices which according to the information can teleport you everywhere you want within the nexus and hold telepathic calls with other users.

    There is a storekeeper however, a strange energy being in bandages who appears to be the only one working there.


    Witch Which's Wish Shop (Player: Haruki-kun)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Welcome. If you have stepped into this store, it is because you have a wish.

    The store is big, ancient and beautiful. It has a large garden with colorful flowers, a pond with fish and running water, and chirping birds. This is the outside of the store. The inside, however, is, to put it simply, gloomy. There’s burning candles and incense everywhere. From the hall where you enter you are led off into a side room with a low table and cushions around it. A tall, masked and unnamed stranger brings tea and snacks to the guests. The Witch sits opposite and rarely ever moves.

    RULES (OOC):
    Spoiler
    Show
    This is a Wish shop. Your character will only enter this shop if he has a wish. Whether the wish is granted or not is a different issue.
    Witch Which is in charge of the shop and will grant wishes to everyone who asks, regardless of intent or alignment, as long as the appropriate price is paid. Under certain conditions:

    Condition one: Witch Which will not haggle. She couldn’t lower a price or overcharge even if she wanted to. A balance must be kept in order for the wish to be granted.

    Condition two: When a Wish directly affects another player’s character in a way that would be considered godmodding, the other player must agree first.

    Condition three: The Witch may not reject any wish unless the price is too high to be paid. Wishes to take a life or to destroy the world, for example, carry a price higher than anyone can pay. ANYONE.

    Condition Four: The Witch will never engage in battle. Be glad. The Witch is the very definition of True Neutral.

    Condition Five: The store is not hard to access; in fact, there’s a big sign outside and everything. However, the store’s grounds exist in a special separate dimension, protecting it from anything that could destroy it, up to and including plot.

    Condition Six: Haruki-kun reserves the right to alter the conditions if he feels they’re causing problems such as godmodding or similar issues.


    (Haruki-Kun wishes for a PM to be sent to him upon someone entering the shop so he knows about it.)



    Food Court



    Carcosa Burger (Player: Rebonack)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Before you looms a food-court eatery of cyclopedia monoliths and impossible archways and angles of masonry that by all means should not exist. It's difficult to tell whether the entrance is a vast gateway in the wall or a yawning pit in the floor.

    Once one steps inside they will be met with an overpowering sense of- oh. Wait. It looks like a normal burger place on the inside. Yellow, white, and grey predominate the decor.

    The people working the counter look a little strange though... They'll take orders in typical cheerful food-service fashion. Should one glance back toward the kitchen they'll get a good view of shoggoths blebbing off hunks of flesh to be grilled.

    They make their ground beef fresh! Carcosa Burger! Our food is maddeningly good!

    Menu:
    Shoggoth Burger: Grilled fresh and piled high with crispy veggies and slathered in Carcosa Burger's famous Color Out of Space sauce! Can be ordered double, with cheese, with bamhacon, with mushrooms, and with avocado for extra charge. Best eat it fast before it crawls off your plate!

    Deep One Fillet:
    Not actually breaded Deep One, just deep fried fish on a burger. Comes with tartar sauce and cheese.

    Giant Penguin Burger: A delicious breast fillet of giant penguin breaded and grilled to perfection.

    Totally Normal Chicken Nuggets: They're just chicken nuggets. They can be ordered in dark or light meat. They can be ordered with a variety of dipping sauces. There is nothing strange or unusual about them in any way. You suspect nothing!

    Monolith Fries: Potato hunks fried to perfection. They come in traditional geometry or non-Euclidean crisscut. Nom them instead of staring at them for too long...

    Elder Thing Frosties: Delicious milkshakes made from only the finest ice-cream chilled with Antarctic ice that hasn't seen the light of the sun for eons! They come in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

    Fountain drinks are also available! Nuka-Cola, Fox-Cola, Llamanaid, Root-beer, and orange!


    Chester's Grille (Player: KerfuffleMach2)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Chester's Grille serves grilled subs, fries, onion rings, ice cream, and soda. Normal subs include turkey, steak, chicken, veggie, ham, burger, and salami. People can combo any of those, and choose from many toppings. The subs are grilled up right there, within minutes, so they're always served hot. The fries and onion rings can have cheese, bacon, ranch, or other toppings on them as well. Chester puts up a weekly special, which is a sub that isn't normally on the menu.


    Dana's Place (Player: Gulaghar)
    Spoiler
    Show
    On the upper floor of the food court is a pleasant, little ice cream parlor. Black and white checkered patterns and the colour red are prominent in the parlor's decoration. Along the right wall is a long counter, it's glass top reveals a multitude of pails of ice cream. For seating a number of bar stools allow customers to sit at the counter and several booths line the opposite wall.

    The proprietor is a cheery young woman named, unsurprisingly, Dana. She took over the shop after her father retired. He can still be found helping his daughter on occasion.

    Behind the counter on the wall is where the selection of icecream is listed. The selection is simply vast. From soft serve to hard ice cream to sundaes to blizzards. If it's ice cream it can be found here.



    Hansel's Bakery (Player: Vael)
    Spoiler
    Show
    In the quieter environment of the food court's second floor is cafe largely painted in greens, whites and browns, wooden tables spaced neatly within, under slowly spinning ceiling fans and quiet violin music. This is Hansel's Bakery, providing the best sandwiches, soup, and baked goods to be found, and also boasting the largest, most intimidating baker ever.

    Hansel is a nice guy, really. He just happens to look like a bear in a human costume, and has a scowl that seems to imply he'll be cutting you apart for meat if you dislike his sandwich artistry.

    But the prices are great, the food is better, and the atmosphere (apart from Hansel himself) is soothing. So come and try something. You'd better. Hansel thinks you want to try the turkey club. He will go prepare it for you now.


    Hooters (Player: Neon Knight)
    Spoiler
    Show
    This place is strictly for the birds. By that, I mean it is staffed by the birds. No, not Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. I mean the owls. Hooters is a restaurant entirely staffed by owls. The crew runs the gamut of species magical and mundane, from giant talking owls to teeny tiny regular owls that deliver napkins and toothpicks. Then entire darn place is full of owls.

    Aside from that fact, it is a fairly normal, straightforward sports bar type restaurant. Inexplicably owned and operated by owls. I mean, if it was an elven restaurant with a nature theme, that would make sense, but this is just a restaurant ran by owls. And their specialty is chicken wings. Isn't that like serving your cousins at dinner? Nobody does that. Except maybe cannibals.

    The space above the tables is filled with rafters and lofts for the owls to rest on. The floor is surprisingly clean, given that owls are very messy birds. Maybe they give a hoot, and don't pollute. The food is good, and acceptably priced, aside from the chicken wings, which, while good, are overpriced and oversold.

    The waiters are primarily giant, intelligent, talking owls, or in some cases, shapeshifters that can take the form of owls (and have to stick to that shape while in the store. It's like being in uniform.) One of these is Takara, a strange, shapeshifty lady palyed by the Neon Knight ((who is, ironically, kinda busty in human shape.)).

    So come on in, and remember to ro, ro, rotate your owl. And tip him, too.


    Krikebulin's Kobold Cuisine (Player: Earl of Purple)
    Spoiler
    Show
    This restaurant has a distinct mine-like décor, or at least a cavern one. The floor is flat and smooth, but the walls are decorated to resemble rough-hewn stone and the lights are crafted to resemble glowing crystals. Or maybe they really are glowing crystals. The tables and chairs are generally low, but there's a few set aside for the especially tall being, and all the chairs are open to one side to enable beings with tails to sit comfortably. To one side of the room is a large tank with several large, white, blind cave-crickets walking within it. Darting amongst the tables are three-foot-tall reptilian creatures vaguely resembling certain small, bipedal dinosaurs, though the fact these are wearing chainmail uniforms and carrying menus, meals or drinks reveals that these are the kobold waiters.

    Outside, there's some more chairs and tables, though these are of a more standard size, though not design. There's a large slate blackboard detailing today's meat of the day. There's some more kobolds here, too, taking orders and delivering food.


    Restaurante Enchante (Player: Kid Kris)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Situated at one end of the Food Court's fancier second level, this restaurant, a tasteful, art deco construction of warm browns and oranges, Restaurant Enchante is what might be called 'a cut above' most of the other restaurants that grace Mallside. The restaurant is split into three sections - Smoking, Non-Smoking and Outdoors, and upon entering, one would be led by one of the young (and highly-attractive) waiters and waitresses, dressed in identical sparkly red dinner jackets, to their chosen table.

    Indoors is atmospheric and moody; the light is dim, all flickering candles and haze (actual cigarette smoke in the Smoking section, harmless mist in the other), and the rectangular tables and heavy armchairs shy away in the secluded nooks and twists of the restaurant, even the ones in the open seemingly a private island of intimacy amongst the hushed whispers and spangly-garbed waitstaff drifting past.

    Outdoors however, is a different affair. Round, plastic tables and clean white chairs mill about under a bright, clear sky, always perfectly sunny or starry no matter what the actual weather conditions might be outside, and drinks flow freely from the bar at one end, amidst friendly conversation and the ever-present servers rushing to and fro.

    Each section has a raised stage discretely thrusting out from one of the walls, where Pond, the famed, trans-dimensional all-Marid string quartet do their nighttime performances, as well as an assortment of lesser ensembles throughout the day, ready to provide whatever mood required. The cuisine, though frighteningly expensive, is representative of a vast array of cultures and styles, and is all masterfully prepared by some of the most talented chefs in the entire multiverse, willingly or not.

    The owner of Restaurant Enchante, the half-succubus Lillanthil, may occasionally be found drifting through one of the sections of the Restaurant in whatever expensive fashion of the day, making light conversation and generally checking on things within.

    Finally, the Restaurant also does birthdays, proposals, wedding receptions, and other events, provided reservations are made first.


    Santa Muerte's Sweets (Player: Neon Knight)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Santa Muerte's is a little white cart pushed around the foodcourt, owned and operated by a most strange individual. A tall being in traditional Mexican attire, Santa Muerte is nothing less than Death himself. Saint Death, as a matter of fact. That's what the name means. Santa Muerte is a gold plated skeleton who looks like one of those "Day of the Dead" images you sometimes see. You know, the happy, laughing skeletons in bright clothes, with hair, looking fully alive and vivacious despite not having flesh?

    Despite his potentially ghoulish appearance, Santa Muerte is definitely holy. He gives off a happy, festive aura, an almost infectious cheer that'll have you smiling quicker than firecracker going off. He himself is friendly, loud, and energetic. He's great with the kids, many of whom don't seem to fear him at all. They seem to understand that Santa Muerte is no Grim Reaper, no cruel specter of death.

    Santa Muerte's cart has many exotic treats; Pineapple ices and passion fruit juice, coconut candies and molasses toffee, sticks of sugarcane and dried papaya slices. Best of all are the snow cones, which he often gives out for free and come in a variety of tropic flavors.

    Santa Muerte also often hands out little complimentary items, like tiny plaster saints, pagan idols, flowers, herbs, candles, simple potions and elixirs, charms, and protections against the evil eye and ailments of mind and body.


    Tarin's Tealeaves and Tarot (TTT or T3) (Player: Neon Knight)
    Spoiler
    Show
    This establishment is a most bizarre place, a strange fusion between a secluded forest scene, something like a fairy ring or secreted away fey grove, and a Victorian tea house. Ornate wooden tables stand on green grass next to tall trees. Giant toadstools stand right next to barstools, both suitable for the average human being. At most tables, tea saucers and cups stand ready, and the centers are piled high with fruit, biscuits, butter, milk, honey, sugar, and other things that go well with tea. A clock on wall has only one hand and three labels: Tea Time, Not Tea Time, and Late For An Important Date.

    This is Tarin's Tealeaves and Tarot, a combination tea house and divination parlor. Come for the tea and the insanity, stay for the cartomancy and Tarot readings! Tarin doesn't actually quite understand the concept of money yet, so she hands out tea and fortune tellings for free.


    Zombie A-Taco-Lypse (Player: ThirdEmperor)
    Spoiler
    Show
    In the middle of the busy lower food court is a large kiosk, painted deep red and verdant green, with chairs and tables set up around it in an open area around it, walled off from the hustle and bustle of the mall by a barrier of shrubbery, cut to resemble hands bursting out of the ground. This, as a large sign proudly proclaims, is;

    Zombie A-Taco-Lypse
    A finger-lickin' armageddon!
    Not actually an apoca-plot in any way shape or form
    Do not feed the waiters

    Zombie A-Taco-Lypse is staffed solely by tame, non-infectious zombies, who despite being dead still manage to be quicker and more sanitary than the average fast food employee, and serves all sorts of tacos, as well as pizza, french fries, smoothies and milkshakes, all of which, save the drinks, are served nearly as hot as the world's inevitable incineration.

    Nearly all of the food is SCIENCE! themed, such as the Pizza Pi, perfectly spherical pockets of dough containing mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, chopped mushrooms and ground meat, and some of the specialties are outright bizarre, including Molotov Cocktails made with edible gasoline so as to be 100% drinkable and 60% proof, Brainfreeze Smoothies, guaranteed to slow down your brain and give you a peaceful reprieve from complex thought for the next four hours, and the house special, Tesla Tacos, ground beef fried to a greasy crisp by no less than authentic lightning in a hardshell taco, topped with sour cream taken from cows abducted by aliens, grated cheese milked from Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat, genetically engineered guacamole and a delicious salsa made from mutant killer tomatoes and red hot peppers.

    Zombie A-Taco-Lypse
    Food that's to die for
    Above comment is not meant to be taken literally, and furthermore, there is no scientific proof that eating at Zombie A-Taco-Lypse in any way increases the odds of death



    Other Locations



    Aurora Fountain (Player: Vael)
    Spoiler
    Show
    As any good mall should have, Mallside has its own fountain, and an elaborate one at that. In the center of the food court, with dozens of varying statues and sculptures spraying out water, Aurora Fountain attracts a great deal of attention due to the varying colors of water is shoots out. Tossing coins or currency into the fountain is encouraged, and is rewarded by a change of color of the donator's choice. It's also rumored that if you fervently wish something and toss a coin in, that wish just might come true... but it is only a rumor.


    Employee Access Hallways (Player: Gulaghar)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Throughout the mall there are long corridors hidden from public view, tucked away underneath and behind the various shops. These are the routes used by maintenance crews, and utilized for deliveries, among other things. The ceilings within the hallways are covered with wiring and ventilation ducts, eschewing aesthetics for efficacy. Only employees are allowed access to these areas, but sometimes the doors are left unlocked and other people can enter if they know where to look... so long as they don't let the Mall Kopz catch them.


    Security Room (Player: Gulaghar)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Behind a door marked 'Authorized Personal Only' is the security room for the mall. Monitors line all unoccupied sections of wall in the large room. They display feeds coming from the numerous security cameras around the mall. Watching these monitors are a number of orks, the Mall Kopz. Perhaps the most important fixture in the room is the mammoth coffee maker. It can brew no fewer than ten pots of coffee at once and can be found in the center of the room. A number of gretchins keep the room in pristine condition despite the destructive nature of the orks. A single door labeled 'Keep Out' opposite the entrance is the only other way out of the room. Please disregard any loud noises heard from this room.


    Player names coloured RED indicate an inactive player.

    Rules and OOC
    Spoiler
    Show
    Mallside is meant to be a peaceful location used as an alternative to taverns and pubs for characters to congregate and meet each other. With this in mind, here are a few general rules to follow.

    1: Please don't destroy Mallside without discussing it in OOC first. It can hardly serve its purpose if it is destroyed, so that should be kept to a minimum. Not to say it can't ever be destroyed, but it should be rare, and hopefully reversible in a timely manner.

    2: Please don't have huge fights in Mallside. A fight in a big mall could be cool, I admit, but this isn't a tavern. Brawls are much more out of place here, and again, it gets in the way of the mall's purpose. Again, every once in a while should be fine, but just keep everyone else in mind- do ask about it OOC before going ahead with it.

    3: Mallside is public, so please try and keep content appropriate.


    Now, here are some not rules, but some OOC notes!

    - Feel free to make stuff up. While the PC shops should hopefully take care of most needs, every once in a while you need something else. When that time comes, you can mention an NPC store, or a stall, or something. Mallside is big, it can take it. If you want it to be more permanent, just ask to have it put into the first post.

    - Don't think about the layout of Mallside much. Like Inside, it changes as convenient, following only those conditions explicit in the descriptions of the locations.

    - Mallside is more than just a shop! It's a hang out spot, feel free to roam around.


    (Note that I, Gulaghar, am taking over managing the Mallside thread while Vael is absent from the Nexus.)

    Cessie nods in agreement, that's pretty much how she felt too. "Yes, not that." She says with a dismissive gesture.

    "Okay, something other dragon like." The monkey replies. Then it suddenly collapses again as the specter emerges from it's body. It flies, grabbing the dragonscale dress and returns it to the employers section.

    It then comes back with a new dress, a purple one this time. It's appears to of cloth but it have parts that would make one think of a plate armor. Large pauldrons for instance which seem to be in some form of very light yellow metal. In fact, they seem to weight less then the dress itself. There are more bits of this light metal adorning the dress, behind the head for instance where two bits of it are holding up a mantle just behind the head.

    The rest of the metal have been woven seamlessly into the purple fabric, the two colors of royalty. Besides the complex adornments of the dress, it also differences from Cessie's dresses in two other aspects. First it's neck is rather low-cut and secondly it's far more form-fitting to the point where it looks like it will be clinging to the skin.

    "This any good?" The monkey asks with a hopeful tone as it returns to the land of the living once again.
    I Dream of Jeans

    You can't go wrong with Disney. Seeing as how Ilphy's been wearing dresses like a Disney princess lately though, there's probably some bias.
    Ilpholin offers Cessie the dress. "Try it on before you decide."

    Though if Cessie doesn't buy it, Ilpholin just might.

At least her mere touch wasn't enough to cause any sort of catastrophic reaction although Crissy may want her out of the store if not simply away from her merchandise. Still, that look from the shopkeeper was not making her feel any better at the moment.

    "Um.. I-I.." Oh hell she's judging me! What did I do? I didn't even have time to really try to adjust anything and it just..! Okay, calm down. Can you do that much at least? It's not too terribly crowded right here and Mimi and Misha are right here. You're gonna be fine. You're going to be fine.. At the very least, Crissy may be able to make out that this was an entirely unintentional effect although that might simply be why the muse was considered a danger.

    "Is that one of the dangerous things you were talking about? Did it break, or did it just not react well to Riss for some reason?" Misha is quite puzzled at this now that she has time to actually think about it. Things don't normally spazz out when Riss touches them!

    Not that she's seen anyway.

    "Errr, is it going to come down again? Maybe we should move." Like, now? Or at least soon. If it's got enough force to break the ceiling when it flies out then it could seriously hurt someone if it falls back down.

    Unsurprisingly the sorceress looks rather hesitant at the dress. "Isn't it a bit... much?" She asks while giving it a good look. She wasn't sure if Harnel was going to like this.

    None the less, she figured she could always try it out. It hardly was the worst thing she had worn. Ilpholin actually doesn't have to convince her, she grabs the dress, gives it a skeptical look and then goes into the change room to change.

    Mimi flits over to the group, hovering ahead of and a bit to the right of Riss. She's glaring at Crissy, obviously very protective of Riss. She doesn't like the way this is going one bit, and her first reaction is to get hostile. Thankfully glaring is all that happens right now.

    "...I don't have to tell you that I think that's a bad idea, right? I mean...y'know..." He does know about things that went down a looong time ago. Namely, keeping an eye on Magtok while he was trapped under the workshop once, on Winslow's behalf, because some stuff went down a while back. Arthur never got the whole story, but it's clear he thinks that Willow working for her dad's 'arch-enemy' is a bad idea.

    He quickly follows that up with a more believable (and slightly-less terrible) excuse. "He did shoot my dad in the head once." And Lucas never stops complaining about it whenever Magtok comes up in conversation.

    "Just one of those in my size. Then we're going to go someplace and think about the rest." Ilphy tells the monkey specter dragon thing. Granted everyone knows all clothes are one size fit all in the Nexus, but still.

    "Yeah, we can always go back here later once I get my hair done." Cessie says. "Just give me a moment to change out of this thing."

    The monkey nods eagerly in response to Ilpholin's request and appears to be inspecting her body while Cessie is changing. Hopefully since it's trying to guess her size.

    Once the sorceress is back in her old clothes it flies away with the dress Cessie tried but returns with a new one who looks like it will fit Ilpholin better. "Um... pay what you think is worth. I don't know prices so well." It says once the specter have entered the body again.

    "So are we ready to go?" Presumably Darcy and lead her and Ilpholin to the hairdresser.

    "Thanks." Ilpholin takes the dress and leaves enough money that she considers appropriate and heads off to the hairdresser with Darcy and Cessie.

    The mention of magic brought a rather confused expression to the muse's features. She had rather rigorously studied her copy of Lhena's Extracts that she had gotten from Sora and had even made a few attempts in her laboratory to see what she could do but with no success. If anything, she was certain that magic just didn't want to play well with her despite her attempts otherwise.

    "...Not possible. Can't even do magic." she muttered. Which is a shame. Have all these ideas that I can't test now. At least until I find a practitioner that would be willing to help... Assuming, of course, that I can make myself go out and find one. It was something she had been putting off mentioning to her fey given that the subject never really came up but partially due it making her feel a bit... Insufficient. This was supposed to be something anyone could do with learning and time, right?

    Still, mindful at least of what was going on around her, Riss reached over and gently tried to pluck Mimi from out of the air. She knew the pixie meant well but maybe now wasn't the time for that. Right now she felt she needed more of a friend than a protector.

    "If anything, it's like the opposite of that. She's actively not magical, I think. I mean, my abilities don't stop working near her, but she's from somewhere other than the Nexus where magic and stuff doesn't exist and there's all these limits on what's possible." Sort of, if her stories about the infinite plane beneath her world and the crazy non-gravity were true, "So maybe it's just that stuff that's impossible to her becomes impossible even though it should be possible to us?" Gah, tongue twister. Lacking any more coherent way of expressing that though, Misha settles for stepping behind Riss and wrapping her arms around the muse's neck, leaning forward so she can rest her chin on the top of Riss' head, just behind her horns.

    For anyone in plots run by me, know that I always tailor solutions to those in the plot. The answer may not be obvious, but it's there, and doable by the displayed abilities of the present characters. If you need help or hints, I'll try to be available to provide them.

    Crissy nods, smiling brightly, and sets about ringing up Feylandria's order. It comes out to a surprisingly reasonable amount. Quoted directly in diamonds!

    "Oh. Huh. Well, see, that was really just really totally advanced science, not magic, but I guess I can see...so, well, anyway, is there anything else I can show you?" Crissy blushes slightly at the display of affection, but smiles.

    "So who is this Magtok fella Ah've heard so little about, eh? Everyone 'round town seems ta know 'is name." A large man with shoulder-length straight red hair, and a strong build walks up behind Willow and Arthur, a cup of cheap coffee in hand. He wears a little green cloth Beret on his head, a white tunic, a plaid kilt, and a pair of long, high stockings under long high boots. He sits down across the table from them. "Sorry if'n Ah'm interruptin' anythin' too private. Y'see, Ah'm new around here. Name's George Alistair, but ye can call me Cuffs."

    "I was considering something fiercer maybe?" Cessie replies hesitantly. "I have never actually given my hair much thought so I'm not sure about the options. All I know is that it can be curly or straight. I do remember Hope, a friend of mine, making me braids. That might be something."

    Felandria sets the diamonds on the counter, then pulls out two more and hands them to Crissy.

    Keep the change.


    She winks and turns to Percival.

    Percival, thank you for escorting me this far, but when we came in I saw they have a salon and I don't think you want to hang around for that.

    But it's always nice to make a new friend, if you care to meet again, is there a way to contact you?

    Mimi yelps as she's plucked out of the air. Well that puts a damper on her capacity to intimidate. She crosses her arms over her chest and sticks her tongue out playfully at Riss.

    "Magic isn't even that exciting." Mimi says. "You just do stuff in a different way. That's all." At least, that's how she sees it. She doesn't see what the big deal is, in any case.

    Percival shakes his head at her handing out diamonds as if they aren't a valuable commodity.
    He pulls out a piece of paper and rights something on it.
    I'm sure it's not very pirate like, but I have a phone, and that's the number. Helps to set up trades.

    It's a common state of being for her.
    Patient.
    A necessary trait, for something that must quietly wait off to the side, while Life has its fun and joy, ready to step in and take everything off to the next step when the vibrancy has at long last passed.

    Even so-trapped amid the murky depths of frozen time, Magtok is a portal for her into that vibrancy. She can accept comparatively brief delays, for her taste of the light.

    Mostly.


    "Mm...the latter would seem a rather more efficient means than trying to cram something into a letter itself.
    More room to work."


    At some point, her bat returned to her hand, idly twirling amidst her fingers.
    "Spectacle, however...our victims would require spectacle. Perhaps moreso than just mere scorpions and monkeys could provide."

    Spectacle in some form or another seems to be the primary fuel for the Nexus, after all.

    "When was the last time you made a properly large scene of yourself?"


    Poor J1MMY. What did he ever do?

    The truncated cube settles on the ground somewhere near the converted vessel, faintly pulsing at a slightly brighter intensity than it had before.


    Given a few minutes, J1MMY will proceed to reactivate...very slowly. From the outer portions inwards, in direct defiance to the proper method by which electronics or organics should operate.
    This may or may not be related to faintly detectable energies moving through the gilded patterns recently-grown across the poor thing, connected inwards to a rather dull and boring not-quite-a-cube at its core.

    J1MMY will be fine.


    "Properly large? Shortly before being harpooned, if I remember correctly. Unless the Zeus business counts, which honestly, I'd rather pretend it wasn't, and the deed was done by some other guy who happened to share the same name as my kind."

    The collective does not suffer rebels lightly. The only one without a standing bounty for his death and/or capture happens to be HazMag, and that's only because he's sitting in a cell approximately eleven hours out of every day.

    "The big problem is, you can't really plan for, set up, or otherwise force my kind of spectacle. It has to spring forth fully formed, spontaneously, all the important bits and pieces falling into place in my mind in an instant. You can add a few things here and there, edit it a little prior to execution, but for the most part, it just sorta is.

    The most one could do, maybe, to try to help trigger a thing like that is to hop in and out of danger, riling up anyone and everyone who could be a decent threat to me, until necessity requires I do something fantastic just to survive, like drop the MagSat out of the sky on someone."


    Magtok shrugs.

    "That's assuming this spectacle would be of an outright villainous sort, though. It's just as likely I could simply get up on a stage and ham it up there instead of blowing anything up. What if we supersized the scorpions, and gave their victims a two-minute headstart? Work some The Most Dangerous Game into the equation?"

    Holy Rot's left shoe, what just happened to J1M?! The Magbots gradually move out of their hiding places and lower their improvised weapons, approaching the reborn robot with caution.

    J1MMY? Is that you, or weird alien not-you in your body? Quick, what's sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5?

    Unless it's no longer J1M in there, he'll give the others the answer, tracing a heart shape in the air with his fingers. Who's to say a spooky cube thing wouldn't know how to use Google and get the same answer, though?

    Riss tilted her head forward just a bit so as to allow Misha a little more range when dealing with her antlers. She didn't want to accidentally end up poking her if she could help. Given that her hands were occupied with the pixie, she did what she could to return the gesture by trying to slide her tail around the nereid's waist given that she at least wasn't all that shy about displaying her affection.

    As for Mimi, she only just managed an attempt of a smile; just barely reaching her eyes before fading. To make up for it, she gently gave the pixie a small squeeze with her fingers; the closest thing she could think of to stand in for a hug given their current size difference. "...Maybe.. Maybe blueprints?" the muse asked. With luck, these won't explode on me or something.
