Let's spend a bunch of money!!

The Shopping Meme!


Maybe they've been sent to do the shopping, or maybe your character works there. Perhaps they just want to browse the snacks or play with the pets! Either way, your characters are braving the long aisles or open air chaos that makes up the shopping world - please keep both hands inside the meme, and remember to use the buddy system if you get lost!

Everyone knows how to work these things, so here is your obligatory RNG link; post! roll! be merry!


1. grocery store
Sent to do the shopping, eh? Or maybe you need snacks for movie night! Whatever your needs, there's all kinds of food here, from fresh produce to the junkiest of junk foods! Careful not to knock over the soup cans!

2. farmer's market
Ah, the farmer's market - fresh open air, the smell of amazing, home grown vegetables - and bargains as far as the eye can see! Everything here is always cheaper than at the stores, so remember to pick up lots of milk!

3. pet store
How much is that puppy in the window?? Why not go in and find out! There's every animal here, from snakes to birds to ferrets - or maybe you come from a more exotic world? Careful around the mooselion pen, and remember - don't hurt the cuccos!

4. magic shop
Alakazam! The most interesting store in town - from card tricks to silk hats, this store promises to tickle your fancy! Ever want to learn magic tricks? This store has all sorts of beginners kits for prestidigitation!

5. clothes store
Wow, you look like someone from What Not to Wear! Good thing you've got a good buddy on hand who's willing to dress you up like a Barbie doll - or maybe you need some new clothes after that last battle! There's plenty of changing rooms for showing off outfits to your crush, too; but don't go overboard!

6. gift shop
From tacky mugs to cute postcards, snowglobes to pins, this tourist trap is a given in any big town or little city! Don't forget your keychains, and remember - you break it, you buy it!

7. bazaar
A theif's paradise, the bazaar is filled with just about anything - from the mundane to the just plain freaky! Are you here for the potions stall? Or maybe you need an herb you can't get anything else? Or maybe you just want to poke at the organ seller's shrunken heads!

8. cafe
Mm, the smell of coffee permeates pretty much everything here! What a great way to wake up before a big game, or maybe you're on a date! There's muffins, energy drinks, even mugs and thermoses with the cafe's name on it, and even though ordering coffee can be confusing, it's all garaunteed to be tasty! This triple grande mocha breve with a shot of cream is handmade, just for you!

9. obligatory zelda option
Need a new shield? Or maybe there's a new mask in store! You've found yourself in the castle market in Hyrule's prime, where you can buy or sell just about everything - and even play some games! Wanna try your hand at some archery? Or maybe play some Bombchu Bowling? And don't forget to help out the banker when you can!

10. mall
This place is your one stop shop for everything - candy stores, clothes stores, video games, even food courts and maybe a carousel! Don't get lost!

11. toy store
TOYS TOYS TOYS! Card decks, plushies, action figures - you name it, it's here! Need I even say more!?

12. shoe store
High heels and tennis shoes and cleats, oh my! Are your trademark boots too worn to wear anymore? Are you taking a stop here to try something new? Or maybe you're just here to try on the heels and make fun of the latest in women's footwear! Either way, this is a great way to mess around with friends - and make fun of them for their gross taste in shoes.

13. sports store
Balls - balls everywhere. This is the place for heavy, outdoors clothing, and it's a sport's shounen's dream! Everything from fishing supplies to goalie gear lines the walls; and it's perfect for that sporty girl you wanna impress!

14. gas station
A quick stop on a roadtrip, and the best place to get innard rotting junk food - the gas station always has everything you need on hand at the time! Mess around with your friends, grab a couple bags of chips, get a couple slurpies - it's an awesome way to spend a summer afternoon! Just don't make too much of a mess!

15. liquor store
The finest wines, the best beers in town, and even heavy liquor for the hardier of the drinkers, this is the place to get stocked up before the big football game, or to get the wine to complete that last dish! But hey - are you even old enough to be shopping here!?

16. dollar store
Cheap toys, pencil toppers, plastic jewelry - this place is a dream for little kids and collectors alike! Sure, some of the toys may look a little cruddy, and maybe the candy's a little old and stale; but it's all only a dollar! Who can say no to a bargain like that!?

17. lingerie aisle
Oh la la~ Shopping for your girlfriend, boys? Or maybe you're just looking? Perhaps you're a couple of girls who decided to do one trip together! Careful kiddos - this aisle's a little too risque for you!

Thor, are you certain? The name Starbucks isn't very promising. There are no stags among the stars.

[The smell of it, though, that's something totally promising. It smells like energy personified, and there's great big globs of icing on great big globs of baked bread. Can't be that bad if Thor recommended it, but...]

[Pets stores aren't usually a place Sakuma goes too because they don't exactly carry his animal of choice so he's really only here because Genda asked him to come.]

[Thor gives an almighty laugh, clapping Fandral on the shoulder.]

Do not worry so much, my friend. I have tried this ..."coffee" before, and I admit, it is quite good.

[He hasn't had this Starbucks before, but coffee is coffee. And so armed with this logic, he strides up to the counter.]

I demand one coffee!

[Of course, he hadn't expected the barista to ask in a bored voice "What kind?"

Kinds? There are kinds of coffee?

[personal profile] lunging 2012-05-19 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Fandral places a hand to his forehead at Thor's demanding the coffee, but he's not so surprised. He was the one given the money, after all, he was the one with the supposed "people sense" that had been spoken of.]

Thor, you do not "demand" from sellers. You say, "I would like one coffee."

[And he looks up, pointing the black board with its strange white letters.]

Look up there, you see? It seems...vanilla seems to be popular.

[Not really, it's just that latte, frappe, and mocha are words Fandral has no idea of, and vanilla and bean are the few he actually understands.]
thunderboltandlightening: (=))

[personal profile] thunderboltandlightening 2012-05-19 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Which is pretty funny, considering Thor has been the one on Midgard for so long, and Fandral has been here only hours.]

Oh!

[He gives a laugh.]

So it is!

[He turns back to the barista, grinning.]

I would like one coffee! Vanilla!

[...He has no idea what he just ordered.]

[Sakuma makes his way through the penguinless pet store to where Genda is. He raises an eyebrow at the number of cats Genda has on him.]

And the owner's okay with you monopolizing them all?

[Neither does, apparently, the poor cafe worker blinking up at him with dull, gelatin cow eyes, her lips slightly ajar as though she's quite exasperated with the entire situation already. This does not bode well.]

Yes, ah...and I would like the same. Vanilla, but without the beans.

[Two Asgardians walk into a coffee shop...]

TO THE PET STORE

[So many different kinds of animals - such she had only seen when her guest had fused Personas similar to such exquisite species! Elizabeth herself is occupied by the birds (those that fly in the sky above, while she is left to watch from below) and may or may not be attempting to speak to them.

(Hint: It's the first.)]

13. it's just not fair.

[personal profile] asgardiantrickster 2012-05-19 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
...this is ridiculous.

[ He stands just inside the entrance to Dick's Sporting Goods and already does he looks annoyed. It's as though the sports equipment is already mocking his physical deficiencies and inability to properly wield most, if not all, of them. Scowls under his breath, his eyes lifting to his Thor. ]

I think sitting outside will suit me better. Enjoy yourself in there, Brother.
thunderboltandlightening: (I'm trying to understand)

[personal profile] thunderboltandlightening 2012-05-19 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[How many Asgardians does it take to order two cups of coffee?

The poor barista heaves a sigh, looking down at her nails. "You do know coffee is made from beans, right?" She asks the two of them. Her voice sounds just as bored as she looks.

Thor exchanges a look with his friend, even more confused now. Beans? They were talking of beans now? He only wants coffee.

canteachyoumore: ([v. hierophant])

no feeding the animals!!

[personal profile] canteachyoumore 2012-05-19 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Theodore is naturally interested in it all as well, though he's more conservative in his talking to animals--

Elizabeth please you are not the doctor who does little.]


Birds aren't as adept at the human tongue as we are, sister. We're garnering quite a bit of looks from the others.
lunging: (You can't expect me to carry him.)

[personal profile] lunging 2012-05-19 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[And now, Fandral's is the mouth hanging slightly ajar, his eyes dull as he takes in this new information. Thor has come to enjoy a drink that is made from a bean? A bean. What else was made from beans? Oh!]

Oh, Thor, it must be like chocolate! Chocolate is made from beans, coffee must be like liquid chocolate! Though [graciously nodding to the barista as if she's given all the answers] obviously in different kinds, since there's. Ah. Vanilla.
