Mall of America - Fwd dated to 2/8
The Mall of America had never really stopped growing. The 5,900,000 square feet of space that had existed in the early 2000s had been added to significantly in 300 years. It now boasted 10 floors in the main building, as well as three new annexes housing four new movie theatres, a waterpark, an amusement park, North America's largest Apple Store, and a new state of the art virtual reality gaming complex, as well as over 1200 new stores and 50 other attractions.
The group from the mansion made arrangements to rent out a number of rooms in the largest of the hotels in the second annex and were teleported directly into the rooms. After that, they were free to roam as they pleased until the agreed pick-up time.
The mall was bustling and busy, even for a Wednesday in the middle of the week, but nothing seemed all that out of the ordinary... until an electrical fire broke out on one of the main escalators. The fire spread quickly, igniting a large piece of artwork that hung on the second level balcony, and as soon as the sensors detected it, the roller coaster's safety system engaged, locking a train into place at the top of the first incline and effectively trapping the customers on-board. Before long, the fire had gained enough intensity to send part of the upper concourse tumbling to the floor below, where it took out a big chunk in the side of the annex's 1,000,000+ gallon aquarium.
(OOC: Boom. Feel free to have any characters there who you want to angst up due their inability to help b/c of fear of outing. We are hoping to keep this from being a big outing everyone-type thread, so if they do use powers, make sure it's in a way that can be covered up. Threads and closed third person posts are both completely fine, so go nuts!)
