The Curse of Kowhai Mall - QUENTIN MAIN THREAD-COMPLETED

The Curse of Kowhai Mall

Role:
Quentin

Player:
Groza529


You were in the mall, minding your own business when you suddenly found yourself inside a glass container with a lifesupport system being pushed into your back and fact. By chance you were carrying a weight, from which you were doing some exercise. You used the weight, smashed your way out and found yourself on board a UFO parked in the carpark. Inside the UFO was a laser gun, of unknown power. You grabbed it and hit a few buttons on the control panel trying to get the door open. Instead of opening, you teleported to the Santa's Grotto in the mall.

And you are furious! Who knows what health affects teleporting twice in rapid succession will have on your stunningly fit healthy body.

Goals

1. Find the Alien who captured you.
2. Kill the Alien who captured you.
3. Find the UFO
4. Destroy the UFO by any means necessary.

Once done, buy yourself a train ticket, board the train and exit the mall.

Be aware: This game contains many NPC characters. The alien you hunt may be a player in the game, an NPC in the game, and may or may not be disguised. You'll want evidence of who the alien is before reacting too quickly. Killing innocents may have unintended consequences.

Well, if I learned anything from Rata Mall, destroying the UDO should be as simple as trying to fly it :-D

In short, all actions are public, but you may add additional information in this thread if you need to.

Eg, if you want to hide an egg in a potplant (why, I dont know), you can Examine the pot plant in the main room thread, and then quote that here saying "While I do this, hide the egg".

Goal question: If someone ELSE kills the alien, would that be a win or a loss for me?

If someone else kills the alien for you, you will recieve a variation to your win condition at the time of occurence. It could be as simple as buying a drink to celebrate or having to destroy the home planet of said alien. You will find out when, and if it occurs. I will add, someone else killing the alien for you won't be a bad thing. Ie, it alone wont cause you to lose.

The north east store sells Spas and Spa Supplies. It is currently closed, but there does appear to be some one in there.

You feed your 5 dollars into the Madame Seer, and it cryptically says "Perhaps the ancient mirror will be of use to you in the days to come. Acquiring it would be the path of righteousness for one such as yourself".

You do not know to what ancient mirror it refers, or why that it might be useful. But somehow you feel good about it's advice and note to yourself to find this mirror.

There are no windows from this place - at least not in this direction - and the door appears to be locked up tight.

You absolutely can, but I still don't know how to set these threads up so you'll have to wait on Ambic waking up for this.
Sometimes when I'm thinking of a track to submit, I think to myself "okay I could submit X, but I know a lot of people won't care for it, there's no point in wasting their time and mine". Glad to see [CaptainMeme] isn't burdened by such thoughts.

Hey, had a thought...
What can I remember about the interior of the spaceship? Was it dry, bright, noisy, cold, etc?

You have acquired some childrens comics from the 1980s. Whizzer and Chips to be specific, a British thing.
