(open mingle) it's not the mall without a spencer's!
WHO: Kamui (metafictions), Wrench (wrenchedup), and you!
WHAT: A very silly mingle for hunkering down in the Spencer's.
WHERE: the city mall
WHEN: sometime during the August event
WARNINGS: Suggestively shaped bachelorette party items, will update for anything else.
After some hours of confusion in the dark, it becomes clear that they're all going to be stuck in the mall for a while. Naturally, the need for a safe home base arises next.
Enter: the Spencer's Gifts on the mall's second floor. It's near enough to emergency lighting to almost be visible, but more importantly, it's full of enough food and supplies to… sort of make it work, when it comes to hunkering down for a bit. Far preferable to sleeping on one of the mall benches, anyway.
The shop is stocked like pretty much any other Spencer's in the mall in 00's North America:
Cases and rows of alternative fashion, from spiked wristbands and chokers to body jewelry and gauges, line the shop. If you're especially enterprising they could be repurposed as a makeshift weapon. Orrrr you can just keep your cash in that chain wallet
Pop culture merch is also highly represented at the Spencer's. There's stacks and stacks of anime t-shirts, funny graphic tees, and novelty bobbleheads and other figures.
Careful going to the back of the shop, though: that's where all the adult items are kept though a whole lot of it might be already raided by Wrench, ask about that later.
Most importantly is the construction of what has been lovingly (oocly) dubbed as… ~ The Naruto Fort ~ or The Nort for short:
Welcome to The Nort.
Whether you’re helping construct it, stock it full of goodies, protect it from things that aren’t actually there, or just paying a visit or coming to sleep for the night The Nort can be found occupying one of the aisles close to the entrance.
The tent walls are crafted by strung together nondescript anime t-shirts and weird goth costumes and probably at least one tie dye pot leaf flag. There are tons of novelty pillows in all sorts of odd shapes (yes, there’s probably one that looks like a butt) for you to rest your weary head. There might even be a few throw blankets of everyone’s fav emo band, My Chemical Bromance.

HEYAAA
Dramatic voice engaged. A hand scanning the horizon. It's all very cinematic. ] Beyond these borders lays every 90's child and 00's teen's dream. A mystical wonderland of pop culture, anime, and cheap edgelord bullshit. [ And here they are. ] Oh, and also adult novelty in the back because why not?
Forward!! [ And he's IN. Comin'? ]
no subject
Annnnd then Wrench's enthralling intro is done and he's strolling into the store without him.]
Wh-- hey, wait for me, Wrench...
[He hustles after, holding up his phone light. Already he's starting to see the wonderland part of all this-- he's never actually seen a store with this kind of weird selection, and even in the dark, the bright kitschy mess of it all is clear.]
Is there somewhere to sleep here, though?
no subject
[ The place was dark, felt like those times way back when he was a kid. When he didn't like in San Fransisco at all. Going out and breaking into places after hours. No lights, no nothing. It felt normal, it felt fucking normal when nothing else felt normal and for a moment Wrench just stood there and sighed. Weird place to get emotional in, a fucking Spencer's, but hey. He's fine. This is fine. ]
Okay! [ At least his LED lights looked fucking dope. Wrench didn't even need a flashlight. He was the flashlight. ] Dude, obviously we make a fort. Look at all this shit. Pillows, throw blankets. [ Wrench went on about the Great Design, picking up this and that. ] Yeah, it'll be great. We can round some people up who seem lost. Bunker down for the night with everyone. You in?
