i;; The Laundry Room [ Really this is where the magic happens. (Not really) It's an industrial laundry room if that toots your horn. Aside from the rumble of the washers and dryers and rolling bins of laundry, the impressive thing is that there's actually music. Too bad for you that it all seems to be pop's greatest hits from the 80's, 90's and now. ]
ii;; Dominion [ Welcome to the Starcourt Mall, the newest addition to Hawkins, Indiana! Upon entering, it looks like any other mall stuck in a mid-80's motif. Bright neon signs adorn all the shops and the carpets are in bright colors and geometric shapes. There's even peppy, ambient music coming from the speakers. There apparently weren't enough niche malls in the world, and Starcourt aims to fill that void. At first, things seem fine. Completely normal, even! You aren't alone in this mall by any means. There are patrons milling about and the dull murmur of chatter can be heard above that cheery ambient music.
Upon closer examination, it's easy to see that all the guests are faceless. Void of any sort of identifying feature or anything at all that would make speech or living possible. They don't seem to realize that everyone else is faceless, too, just carrying on a normal conversation Listening long enough to anyone's conversation will prove one thing- it's not a sustainable conversation at all. Instead, it's the same Russian phrases with different inflection and intensity. If you're lucky enough to understand Russian, it all sounds a bit like nonsense.
The week is long. The silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west. A trip to China sounds nice if you tread lightly.
To make matters worse, you're late to work, enjoy the uniform which you're now wearing. Scoops Ahoy is waiting for you! The interior of the ice cream parlor is more bright and vibrant than the rest of the mall, done in blue and white nautical striping and mahogany seating. To make matters worse, it has its own playlist which is even louder and more annoying than the ambient music out in the mall. There's a sliding glass window behind the counter that's completely dark despite the bright lighting of the shop. From behind the counter, you can see the entire shop and out into the mall and the food court across the way. All completely normal except for the pool set into the floor that seems to suck all the brightness from the mall. The only source of illumination around the pool are the lights inset in the submerged walls.
But don't let that distract you from the faceless queue that stretches out the front of the shop that seem to be yelling in that same Russian gibberish. ]
