People of Wal-Mart

[sausagefests]

The WAL-MART meme



Open 24-hours, in large cities Wal-Mart is a place people show up to shop mindlessly for anything they need. In small towns, it may be literally the only business open after 10pm, making it an unlikely hang-out for locals.

Regardless of where it's located, Wal-Mart always seems to have the strange effect of making time crawl, as the aisles stretch on into infinity, and the tinny in-store music plays on a loop.

RULES:

Post to the meme.
Shop. Anything can be found at Wal-Mart, and in a meme, perhaps that's truer than ever
Get lost in the endless aisles.
Get found in the cafe.
Find a friend. Find an enemy. Find an employee
Have fun.

[ Jason is in Walmart. Yeah, the Red Hood, here under these fluorescent lights, shopping in the first aid section while trying not to bleed all over the floor. Definitely good times, for sure. ]

[shrikesback]

[ Wren tries not to shop at WalMart when at all possible - they don't agree with their business practices and would be perfectly happy to give every single person on their board a beating, which generally means they avoid shopping somewhere.

But sometimes it's 3am and there's literally no other options because said awful business practices pushed out all potential competitors.

They're determined to just be a quick in and out.

That's before they pass by the pharmacy area, realize who they just saw out of the corner of their eye, stop, and backtrack. ]

… what the fuck.

[In the scented candle section, sniffing everything for the fun of it.]

[professionalriot]

[Wal-Mart is not some place he would usually go. Until a few months ago when Sealink had drawn his attention to the Wyrm tainted meat being sold. He had gotten himself shot over it which had put his investigation on hold.

If only that were the reason he was wandering the aisles tonight. Nope. Nothing that noble. In his months spent investigating how the food was being tainted, he discovered these really amazing guacamole chips. After a few hours gaming and smoking he has a bad craving. One Uber ride later and he was lazily traversing the store, open bag of chips in his cart that he was snacking on. There wasn't anything else in his cart, he was occasionally using it more like a skateboard.

He stopped when something smelled good and grabbed a candle from the end cap. Taking a deep breath he laughed to himself.] You can get a fucking oil change here. Wild.

[The candle was put in the cart. He stuffed another chip in his mouth and meandered down the next aisle.]

[Currently smelling every bottle of soap. Next stop, firearms.]

[finethings]

[Stede is, in a word, overstimulated. He wrinkles his nose up at the fluorescents as Ed smells the entire soap offering.]

Blech! The lighting in this place is horrific, Ed!

becca ~ original ~ ota

[cafeultra]

[ Becca normally wouldn't be caught dead in a Walmart, but she's actually drunk and ended up here by accident. So she wanders aimlessly around the front of the store. ]

I just need to charge my phone so I can order an Uber.

[maskpowers]

Or I can just drive you?

[The amount of time she seems to spend intoxicated in public… is… troubling to say the least. Here is Corey being concerned!!]

Crowley | Good Omens

[agathokakological]

[Sitting at a corner table with his legs crossed and a newspaper at a long-forgotten Subway inside of your local Walmart (do Subways even still exist in Walmarts? this one does by some miracle). There is a disgusting cup of coffee sat in front of him growing colder and colder. Undrinkable, really.]

[infinite1ups]

[ Supply run! Claire tries to make these trips as infrequently as possible, so when she goes, she stocks up. Catch her with a cart full of food, household goods, and other assorted items. She... may be having a little trouble pushing said cart, actually. ]

Jim Kirk | Star Trek | OTA

[chesscaptain]

[On a mission that ended up involving a temporal anomaly that sent him back to the past or to an alternate earth, must be Tuesday. He's probably trying to locate some clothes that are less conspicuous than his uniform.]

mia allen | evil dead | ota.

[detoxes]

[After S-Mart and Value Stop (tragically) don’t work out - Mia isn’t left with many big box store choices for employment. Which is why she’s here. At the Wal-Mart. Check out her blue vest and name tag and shiny (not) disposition. Either taking forever to ring up purchases, lurking amongst the shelves under the guise of restocking things, or maybe out having a smoke break.]

👀

[strongestcoward]

[ Mia isn't the only thing lurking in the shelves, but also above them. First some abnormally long fingers with a few too many joints coming over the top. Then three eyes peeking out of from rough holes in clothing, followed by a contorted, lipless grin. It's like the top of the shelf is the depths of Hell and Asura is pulling himself out.

In a slow, deep voice, he speaks- the lights flicker with every word. ]

Ennnnnergy drrrrinks...

spike spiegel, cowboy bebop

[dimeless]

[ it is 1 AM and he drew the shortest straw when the crew decided who to send out for an emergency supply run. ]

[sugarspin]

[ Why did she think this was a good idea?

If he's looking for peace, he's going to have that broken by the intensity of a tiny but determined woman moving through the aisles on this lovely late night. The wheels are squeaking, and she could — and maybe rightfully should — be careening through, but she almost seems to glide, like her focus gives her the miraculous power to guide the jankiest of Walmart carts along the straight line of tiles.

Until she finds someone in her way. She stops. ]

Excuse me.

[ Claire frowns. She looks behind her, but the end of the aisle is nearer than the beginning, right, and it would be inefficient to turnaround and start her path over. She gives him a moment, since everyone needs one, what with the endless variety of product choices (!!!) that Walmart offers, clears her throat.

It hasn't even been that long, but given that she has Places to Go™, Claire taps her foot. ]

I can't get by. Can you move?

claire foster • original • ota

[sugarspin]

( ooc; info! tldr - kitchen witch currently employed by a rich family in the countryside. incorporates magic into food. the thing is — claire has the info on the restocks. she knows the ungodly hour that the delivery trucks roll in, and dammit, she needs that bread flour and organic cream cheese. if it's before dawn, you will most certainly find her on a mission to end all missions, hauling ass through the aisles because they reorganized again. )

[unleashedbeast]

[ m/m for shipping, gen ota.

could be intrigued by a number of things, tbh... ]

[pyonpyon]

[ Looking for Jack shouldn't be a chore, all things considering, but he hasn't been able to pick out those ears in the last ten minutes! ]

There you are!

[ Clicking his tongue, he trudges down the aisle. ]

I know you aren't a kid but you were starting to worry me~!

[ Surely texting him would have done some good. Never mind that instincts have been telling him to panic the second it seemed like he lost someone in some other dimension. Well, whatever, this means he's now able to relax a little. ]

Did you see something that caught your attention, Jack-chin?

roboute guilliman | warhammer 40k | ota

[guilliman]

[There is a very large man in ornately decorated, very blue armor in the breakfast aisle. He is crouched down to eye-level with the top shelves, and his expression is deadly serious as he reads the fronts of the instant oatmeal boxes.]

After dying from the accuracy...

[machinegobrrr]

[The benefit of being of the Cult Mechanicus is that making a shopping cart train to carry heaped piles of tools and electronics? Easy. Unfortunately that does not mean it's particularly easy to manoeuvre. Which is particularly problematic when excitedly following the readout for 'Awesome Tech' nearly has the Explorator walking into a Primarch.

Excuse Pythius while he hastily bows and tries to skitter backwards with the Sign of the Cog. All the while trying to get his servo-skull to back-up the trolley train.]

kana arima — oshi no ko.

[papurika]

( why? why not. maybe she's looking for snacks/running errands for strawberry productions. maybe she's staring at snacks she knows she shouldn't have. maybe she's struggling to get something off a really high shelf.................... )

Brigitte Fitzgerald | Ginger Snaps | OTA

[doa_on_a_dog]

[ Please ignore the shifty looking girl in the overcoat at 2am who definitely has bloodstains on her shoes. ]

[badknockauphe]

Please likewise ignore the- Yeah okay there’s no ignoring the dude dressed in all black with a battered leather jacket, black hair half escaping the tiny ponytail at his neck, all but weaving on his feet as he makes a grab for a family-sized bag of Doritoes.

That is definitely a blood-stain on the front ofchis black shirt, if you can use the word ‘stain’ while it’s still mostly-wet. He’s also got a very fresh black eye slowly swelling, and the knuckles of both hands are scraped.

The absent snarl he directs at Brigette is mostly just reflex with no real intent, he’s exhausted, but they’re out of freakin’ antibiotic ointment and this had been the closest stop. Niko’s neurosis about germs that his super-Auphe system completely flattened was the only thng standing between Cal and his bed.

And God but did he want to be in bed.

Chips and Mountain Dew were the next best thing, however.

[ Nothing to see here - just a woman in full a full latex outfit, walking along the aisles of Walmart in stilettos.

Even Satanists needed junk food. ]

Fredrik Halvorsson | OC | Ziggy Stardust Universe | ota

[rebellisk_tarta]

It's 3am and Fredrik is drunk, giggling and waving from sitting inside a shopping kart to Mikkel who is close by the entrance to the store. Joe and Aarne were also trashed and running around racing karts down the aisles having fun.

"Mikkel! Let's go shopping. Want to push me first? I can push you too. Let's get some stuff!

The drunk bassist giggling as he couldn't move the kart without his Dane friend. Getting supplies and booze now could be fun.

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel was giggling from a little too much to drink and too little sleep. He jumped on the back of the kart and sent it rolling toward the door.



"What are we buying?" Mikkel looked up at the huge store and wondered what they sold in this place. It looked like everything.
