The Christmas Time Mall Meme

warning: grinches are welcome

Welcome to your typical gitchy little department store. Wherever you are, wherever you've been, who cares! Welcome to the New York central mall, where everything's covered in lights and decorations and the tacky Christmas cheer is just overflowing out the doors and windows and even little children who ate too much candy waiting in line for a picture with Jolly Ol Santa Clause! You have options. Go shopping (I pity your sanity if you want to get into that holiday shopping madness). See Santa. Help the mall staff finish decorating. Or maybe you want to freak out the normies by flying and lighting things on fire or hitting the plastic reindeer with your psychic freaky powers. Whatever the case ...welcome to the mall!! Only 21 days before Christmas!!

what to do:
1. make a comment (blank or otherwise) with your character's name and canon in the subject. they're now in the mall (poor bastard or no depending) doing whatever. feel free to reply with a blank comment. totes cool, but it'll make better prompts if you give people a little something to start off of.
2. people respond with their characters meeting others inside the mall. you can do whatever you want. even fight. just be prepared to get your butt kicked by the department store Santas.
3. have fun!!

Jeannie has her hands up against a store window, peering inside with a delighted look on her face. Not realizing how much of a spectacle of herself she is making as she exclaims, "They are all so beautiful!"

It's a shoe store, the displays all different women's shoes.

Kid Vegeta | DBZ | OTA

[pridelyprinceling]

Y hello thar?

[therabbithearted]

Why am I even here? [Integra thought as she wandered around the mall aimlessly, then smoothed out her skirt for about the third time. Just because it wasn't a formal setting was no excuse for her to look unruly.]

Rise Kujikawa | Persona 4

[tofu_idol]

Rise always enjoyed shopping, but there was something about Christmas shopping that made her all the more enthusiastic. Being able to splurge on the people she cared about most made the crowds and the pushing and shoving and fighting to get to see anything worth the effort.

Of course, she had two secret weapons. The first was that even dressed down as she was, with her hair loose, there was still something familiar enough about her that people stopped to look twice, and that meant she could slip through while they were distracted. The second was that being small, she could push through into gaps that others couldn't.

Now, loaded down with bags, she made her way to the food court. Time for a drink, a sit down and time to go through and work out what she still had to buy.

Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock.

[syllogization]

[grinchiness ahoy.]

Bruce Banner | MCU | OTA

[aggravated]

[Bruce is most likely tucked away on a bench, head between his knees, finding himself trying not to panic.]

[kuromu_dokuro]

Excuse me? Are you alright?

Koschei (Academy-era) | Doctor Who

[the_deathless]

[Koschei isn't very used to Earth and is only here on a day trip, dragged by his best friend. He's doing his best to not look like an awkward alien, though he looks the same as any other human.]

[idkmybffkoschei]

Koschei look at this place! [Theta, meanwhile, is thrilled, one hand wrapped tightly around Koschei's as he drags him through the mall.]

Look! Santa!!

gaila | star trek

[pheromones]

[ gaila is christmas-themed all year round, but in december she actually blends in! see her making the most of it, enjoying all the human festivities and hunting for candy canes. ]

Seras Victoria | Hellsing | OTA

[apolicegirl]

[Christmas time is something of nostalgia to Seras. She's merrily making her way around the mall, shopping for presents for her Master, Sir Integra, and of course, Pip. Feel free to bump into her and throw her into crazy situations.]

Green | Pokemon gameverse

[leadergreen]

[canon mates preferred; and if we're going that route, what do you say to hitting up the Goldenrod or Celadon department store :D?]

Urdnot Wrex | Mass Effect | OTA

[wrex_it_krogan]

[Someone convinced him (Read: swindled him) to become some bearded human guy in a red suit for the birth of some other human. Human celebrations were weird as hell. He's sitting at the mall, waiting for the next brat to come along.]

Ariel | The Little Mermaid | Open to All

[seacups]

[Christmas under the sea happens...for some reason. So Ariel's not unfamiliar with the concept. She's happy to help decorate the giant tree in the middle of the mall, though some of her decorations are a bit more unorthodox.]

Saft | original character

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Saft's never been into a modern world mall before. She's still not entirely sure how all this Christmas thing works but she still wants to make sure her first Christmas here is going to be the best one ever! Who wants to accompany her around the mall to make sure she's keeping herself out of trouble?

Jet Jenkins | Way of the Samurai 4

[jetrolled]

[Jet has stationed himself off to the side of the largest hallway. He has a stand set up. Free Sweets (and Sushi!). Even has a little oven and cooler.]

Hey! I have something for you if you'd like to warm up!

[It is rather chilly outside. He's yelling to no one in particular. But damn, even with the passing people and music, that echo.]

Ilsa Higa || Original Character

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa is not a shopper. Tall, with broad shoulders and curves mean nothing fits her off the rack. Shopping for herself usually means music, sheet or recordings, or things for the kitchen. ]

[ But there were others to shop for, and her schedule had made it difficult for her to get to the stores. She had also been stalling, but that just made the task worse. ]

Isaac Lahey l Teen Wolf

[anchorae]

[cleave]

[ so he's meant to be buying allison a christmas present, but it's impossible. scott's on a limited budget and completely befuddled as to what he should even try to get, nevermind whether or not he can afford it.

so when he comes across isaac, he shoves all the perfume samples he's acquired into his hands and goes, ] Which of these smells best? [ because two wolfy noses must be better than one, right?

and if scott sounds a little desperate well. it's because scott's a little desperate. ]

Jovie | Elf

[foralltohear]

[Jovie is working her usual afternoon shift at Gimbels, dressed in elf-attire. She's herding small children through the line to Santa, or restocking the toy shelves. She seems pretty neutral about all the chaos going on around her.]

Sherlock Holmes | Elementary | Closed

[natterings]

[Why are we in the mall going shopping for a consumer orientated holiday?

Watson! /whine whine whine]

[addictsitter]

[Because they got invited to the NYPD staff Christmas party which means that they have to get gifts. Stop. Whining.

Joan is walking in front of Sherlock because no, she is not going to deal with his moping today. Absolutely not.]

Stop looking like that. You're scaring the kids.

kyouko sakura • madoka magica

[soulfood]

[Kyouko is stealing shit. Probably candy. Feel free to catch her in the act and call her out.]

Jack Frost | Rise of the Guardians

[spiritofwinter]

[A (probably) invisible someone is lounging about on fake snow floor of the big Christmas tree display, watching the crowds waiting in line to see "Santa" and idly putting tiny, real icicles on the plastic branches one at a time. He thinks mall Santas are funny; they're never like the real North at all.]

Care for a little fandom OC?

[foulmouthmutant]

[This whole thing was stupid. Freyr didn't like crowds, didn't like the light, and was thankful when people left him alone to go get into line to meet Santa.

Pathetic. Julenisse did go to American malls to meet and greet.

Dressed in neutral colors with a white cane in his hands and a black visor around his eyes to block out the light, the exchange student decided to do some exploring. Exploring that led right over to the plastic tree Jack was tampering with. Obviously Freyr didn't notice him as he couldn't see anything, but he was reaching out to feel the branches.]

Plastic? [A scoff.] Everything's plastic in this country.

[A brush over the icicles and he pauses.] ...Those aren't though. Huh.


_{(ooc: Freyr's from Norway so he might think Jack's um...a stag. Going by one of the theories of the Four Stags of the Yggdrasil, too. So Jack's a talking stag to him. XD)}

erica reyes | teen wolf

[impenitent]

[claustrophobe]

Erica, when you said you were going shopping, I didn't expect to have to go with you.

[Isaac rolls his eyes, sucking in a breath through is teeth.]

Or to be your bag boy. Couldn't you have just scared Stilinski into it?

Derek Hale | Teen Wolf

[triskeles]

[ God have mercy on your soul if you were the one that coerced him into going, or decide to come up to him while he glowers. ]

you're allowed to enter malls???

[puppyface]

[Welp. He'd been there with his mom and promptly been sent off, and though he was used to running into people in strange places by now, Scott wasn't exactly expecting to run into Derek in the mall.

And by run into, he definitely meant run into.

Like slipping and falling against a familiar back in attempts to not step on a pair of kids playing tag.]

Sorry-- sorry, I didn't me- Derek?!

Allison Argent | Teen Wolf

[transferee]

as if I need more tags to do but CAN'T RESIST AN ALLISON

[puppyface]

[Shopping with his mom was just kind of a normal thing around this time of year, but it was kind of strange this time around. Being able to tell exactly who was around? Not exactly the least awkward thing in Scott's life.

Approaching Allison without an excuse would be... weird. Right? Did she even want to see him? After playing chicken for a good twenty minutes he couldn't avoid her- especially not as he nearly collided with her outside the mall bathrooms.]

--Oh- osrry- Allison-- hi!
Oh I'm-- probably in your way, I'm sorry!
