Stalkers RPG Main Action and Team Status [SEASON 5]

[Neo Emolga]

I wanna go to the mall. :o

Search (2a) Eastern Side

As soon as the dawn hits, you head out, immediately bearing south to see what the Silverlight Shopping Mall has in store. From the outside, you can see that this is one of the few buildings that has remained unaffected by what happened with OMEN three years ago, and there doesn’t seem to be any structural damage at all. Where this building and its surrounding grounds were once a casual retail place, it has now become paramount to Exacta City’s surviving commerce.

From what you can see, the citizens of Exacta City have had to turn this shopping mall into a miniature city all in its own. For many of them, this is where they both live and work now. Despite the heavy activity and many Pokémon going from place to place, it still seems clean for the most part, but like any other city, it still has its dirty places.

As you draw closer, no one suspects a thing about you being from another world entirely and as a Bulbasaur, you blend right in with the small crowds of locals. But before you enter into the inside, something catches your eye as you pass by a somewhat rusted drainage grate. Where it seems most Pokémon have passed this grate many times, you happen to notice something that looks like a piece of leather, tucked under a plastic bottle that looks like its been neglected there for years. Maybe it was thanks to your eyes keeping vigilant, but it seems you laid eyes on something that’s gone overlooked hundreds of times by the locals. Sure, you could be wrong and it may be nothing, but you decide to examine it anyway.

Curiously, you extend your vines into the grate, wrap them around the leathery object, and hoist it up and through the grate holes. It’s a bit wet, but you brush it off with your front foot and take a closer look.

It appears to be a wallet, but it looks like there is no way to tell who the original owner was and judging from the condition, it’s been here for a while and the owner likely gave up looking for it long ago. You open it up to see there’s definitely a fair amount of money inside. You wonder if this has been sitting here neglected even before the OMEN disaster, but for now, you decide to hold onto the money, having a firm feeling chances are good you’re going to need to use it soon enough.

$120 Sochas were added to the Mistee’s Pack.

You then head inside the mall itself, taking the eastern side as you imagine it’s going to take a while to get an assessment on just how many stores and vendors are here.

As you walk around and let your eyes glance in every direction, you see things have definitely changed since OMEN. Sure, some of the stores are definitely using assigned retail spaces that were intended to be used for commercial purposes since the mall was built, but now there are dozens of makeshift stands in many of the spaces in between, creating mini bazars here and there with individual peddlers.

Most of them don’t seem to sell things you think you’ll need, however. Paper goods, frames, textiles, furniture, and quite a few other stores seem to be around, but you figure you and your Emissary friends definitely need to save whatever money you can find for other causes like finding who and where these Stalkers are.

However, one moderately-sized store in particular seems to be selling some berries that might be worth buying for later. It seems to be a pharmacy, and looks clean, reliable, and dependable. While the owner, Borsei the Clefairy, is mostly selling medications and over the counter drugs for relieving pains, aches, and digestive issues, the curative berries might be worth stocking up on.

For now, you move on, deciding you’re just getting an assessment for now before deciding how you might want to spend your money. You move along, passing by a stoic Psyduck and a seemingly indifferent Sobble. From what you can see, while the Pokémon here are surviving, the situation is still bleak and it doesn’t look like anyone hasn’t forgotten what kind of life was left behind just three years ago…

Passing by a few more makeshift booths, tents, and mats, selling all manners of spices, shawls, produce, and many other wares, you then come across one of the retail spaces, being run by an Alolan Raichu. It’s a very unusual store named “Stop and Shyft”, selling stones you haven’t seen anywhere else. Upon closer examination, you see that they’re called Shyft Stones, and they come in a myriad of colors.

You then realize that they’re capable of changing a Pokémon’s typing, something you never thought existed anywhere in the universe. While not cheap, you think it’s worth noting that this store exists, as you never know when one of these Shyft Stones might be useful. After all, as a Bulbasaur, you can’t help but wonder what you might look and feel like after using one of these stones. To suddenly become Grass and Flying, or Fire and Poison. How would that change how you look?

You continue searching, finding plenty of other places that look like they would happily take the 120 Sochas you just found a short while ago, but you decide to just keep looking. But after a few hours of exploring the eastern side of the mall, you feel a bit tired and feel you’ve tracked the only stores worth possibly returning to in the future.

For now, you head back to the steel mill at the north side of down to get a breather before deciding what you’re going to do tonight.
