Locations (Mall)
Food Court

The food court is a large, open space full of tables and chairs, surrounded by several small restaurants. There's a large skylight in the roof above, giving you an open view of space. Every restaurant in the food court contains both a kitchen and bathrooms in the back. They are also fully stocked with all the ingredients you'd need to prepare everything on that restaurant's menu.
Pizza Planet
This restaurant has a display case, where fresh slices of Space Pizza and servings of various Space Pasta dishes would be served up, if there were anybody here to make those and put them in there every morning. While some of the pizza/pasta is pretty basic and familiar to an Earth palate, some of it is made out of weird types of dough, or has strange toppings. Closed at Night.
Fourt's
You can actually enter this restaurant and find a seat, at a table, booth, or the bar. It seems to be a 1950s American cafe, with a menu that mostly fits the theme, except for a few dishes like purple eggs and magenta lunch. The name Fourt appears several more times in the menu and on other branded items, but there is absolutely no indication of who this might be.
The small hallway in front of Fourt's leads to what looks like it should be an exit, but the door is covered by a heavy sheet of metal.
Garden Fresh
This place is evidently very health-focused. It serves vegetarian food from a few different planets, in forms like salads, wraps, and smoothies. Though you don't recognize all of the fruits and vegetables involved, at least none of them look straight-up repulsive. Closed at Night.
Dairy Empress
Right next to Garden Fresh, and probably in some kind of ongoing war with them, Dairy Empress has a military theme to its menu and serves ice cream, frozen yogurt, and various baked goods. Some of these are familiar to you; some are not. Closed at Night.
Sur'Kesh Express
This restaurant appears to entirely serve dishes from the planet Sur'Kesh. There is no depiction of Sur'Kesh or its native inhabitants anywhere that you can find, but you might be able to make a few assumptions based on the menu - a lot of it is based around water plants, seafood, or upsettingly large insects. Is it actually authentic Sur'Kesh cuisine? If only you had somebody you could ask. Closed at Night.
SpcDonald's
You know what happens here. Closed at Night.
THE LOST PLANET OF FLAVORTOWN
A themed restaurant! The aesthetic of this place is very much, somehow mashing together a space-pirate-sort-of-western theme, a lot of flames, and this flag hung in a few different places. Everything on the menu is similarly extreme, some of it actually involving open flames on your plate. Do it, you cowards. In the bathrooms in the back, you can find the only showers in this godforsaken place. In the front, you can find some kind of weird gacha machine. It's impossible to see what's inside, but maybe if you insert a Flavor Token(TM), you can get something neat!
There’s a constant soundtrack playing in here, the sounds of space battles apparently involving some kind of laser-swooshy noises. (Okay, some of you know lightsaber sounds, it’s those.) Also included occasionally: some kind of eruptions, bubbling, and crackling flames. You get the feeling that, if Flavortown were a real place, this would all be very offensive to anybody who was from there. Closed at Night.
North Hall

There's a narrow rectangular skylight stretching along the middle of the north hall, providing a similar view of the stars outside. The stores here are all open and stocked, like there were employees here just recently, but there's no sign of anybody. They all have metal grates you could pull down over the doors, but without the keys you won't be able to lock those in place.
In the center of the hallway, there's a line of small mall kiosks. These ones are entirely enclosed, and appear to have been modified to include...beds?
Moonglow
Moonglow is a trendy boutique clothing store, catering to people of all genders. Despite the obvious alien influences on the rest of the mall, every article here seems designed with the humanoid form in mind, though that’s not to say that the aesthetics necessarily match up with yours. You can find an eclectic mix of styles, and hopefully something you like, but there’s definitely a lot of glitter and sparkles happening in here. The jewelry and accessories also trend towards large and ostentatious. With no understanding of this place’s financial system, you can’t make sense of the price tags, but it just seems overpriced.
There are three dressing rooms in the back of the store, with doors that can latch shut. They probably couldn’t withstand someone really trying to break in, but they could provide a little privacy.
Splankets
SPLANKETS SELLS BLANKETS! There’s big fleece blankets here in all colors, with a variety of strange and unique prints. The reason becomes obvious once you investigate the large, loom-like machine displayed prominently in the back. It’s a custom blanket maker! You can input a design of your own, either by providing a digital file or just by drawing it on the touchpad; then, you select the colors and your custom blanket will be made right in front of you! It must cost a fair amount to keep a specialty store like this afloat, but no one’s here to charge you, so…
Nebula Hair & Nails
A hair and nail salon, Nebula once again seems to cater mostly to humanoid hair and nails. There are a lot of products you don’t recognize and may want to be careful about trying, and also a few machines that might be for burnishing talons or something, but otherwise this will all be fairly familiar to anyone accustomed to modern Earth salons. You have all the materials you need to give each other exciting makeovers, even mixing up your own hair dyes! Just be careful - some of this stuff can be a little dangerous to handle.
ChocoLIT
A fancy chocolate shop - just what every murdergame needs! There’s a lot of specialty confections on offer here, as well as a back room where you could make your own truffles and dipped fruit, or whatever you feel the need to dip into chocolate! It seems as though they’re currently having a sale on pink white-chocolate-covered pretzels, so grab those while you can! The ingredients in the bakery will be restocked, but the pre-made candies will not!
Universe
Universe sells all the best technology and gadgets this galaxy has to offer! You can find space-age televisions, tablets, phones, and other fun electronics. Unfortunately, none of it can connect to anything outside the mall, so you won’t be calling for help or checking your Spitter feed. Not that you have one, eh?
There’s also a tech repair center in the back, with tools that you could use to repair or - if you’re skilled enough - modify these devices. It probably would take someone very familiar with engineering, though, since the machines aren’t particularly like anything you know.
Hailing Frequency
This cute little store appears to specialize in greeting cards and little gifts for people, like stuffed animals, monogrammed items, or weird collectible figurines. It’s basically just Space Hallmark. They also have colored stationery and stamp sets, if you want to send mail to your neighbors.
Mall Center

Apparently some kind of central location in the mall. There is a large fountain here, but we do not recommend throwing your FlavorTokens in it.
Starbucks
No, not Spacebucks - this cafe looks like a totally normal Earth Starbucks. For some reason, all the tables are decorated with little vases full of red poppies. The drink quality is about what you'd expect, but there's a lot of it back there for all your caffeine-related needs. Open 24/7.
RoombaVille
This store sells only Roombas. Red Roombas, blue Roombas, big Roombas, small Roombas. So many fucking Roombas, you could just fucking die. There's even stickers and decals in case you want to personalize yours, which may be a good idea if you want to actually tell individuals apart.
The 1-Up
The 1-Up, despite your futuristic surroundings, is a classic old arcade full of video game machines and your usual arcade games like skee-ball and air hockey. Everything is free-to-play, but if you do well enough, the machines will dispense FlavorTokens, which can be used at the gacha machine in Flavortown, or to obtain one of the arcade prizes in the back. These are exactly the cheap garbage you would expect.
Spacer's
Some kind of novelty gift store, Spacer's sells all manner of ridiculous products, including clothing, knick-knacks, and a lot of ridiculous bobblehead-looking character figurines. You don't recognize any of them.
Western Hall

Armigod
For whatever ungodly reason, this store seems to specialize mostly in shitty anime swords and fancy decorative knives. There's some other shit in here too, mostly knick-knacks in a similar anime vein, but the vast majority of the merchandise is pretty pointy. The knives are all locked up in a display case, and the swords are dull and kept peace-bound, but I believe in you shitheads.
The Reading Comet
Finally - a bookstore! The Reading Comet contains plenty of books that you'd be familiar with, which seems kind of weird for a future space mall? But hey, just remember what you said to Charles Dickens, right? Anyway, there's also plenty of stock from alien cultures that you're not going to recognize, although some of it has translations that you could read. In the back, there's even a section for audio and video recordings! Nothing to play them on, but Universe can probably hook you up. Looks like there's currently a sale on box sets of an old children's science program featuring some blue alien guy. In some of the later episodes, there's also a computer voice that he interacts with.
Howdy Rancor!
This is a bright pink-and-pastel store, apparently dedicated to the Howdy Rancor! franchise and its associated characters. You can find all sorts of adorable merchandise with various cute little alien characters here, like clothes, bags, and basically anything you can slap a cute baby Rancor onto.
Spot Spopic
Hi this is Spot Spopic and its the best goffick store in the whole galaxy and it sells all cool black goff clothes like fishnets and corsets and leather miniskirts and MCR and Good Charlotte play there 24/7 and if you don't know who they are get da hell out of here!
Blossom
This florist's shop is fairly large, and contains a number of elaborate displays. You probably won't be familiar with most of the flowers here, but there's enough that you should be able to find any particular Earth flowers you need. The flowers are always fresh; it appears that they're restocked overnight similar to the kitchens. Someone would have liked this.
Southern Hall

Prism
This art store appears to be slightly upscale; the prices here still don't mean much to you, but all the art supplies are certainly quality. You've got pretty much anything you could need here, from paints to clay to even some smaller woodworking tools. On the walls are a few painted landscapes, apparently for sale. They're going for a little more than usual, for sales like this. Maybe it's because the artist won't be making any more.
soup.
soup. sells soup. There's only soup. Is there a kind of food? It's here, in soup form. soup is a warm and comforting delicious meal. soup. mostly just sells cans of soup, but there is a small kitchen in the back where you can prepare it. It and pretty much nothing else. You're only equipped for soup.
There's also, inexplicably, a single rack of clothing for sale. It's very cute and boutique-y, actually?
The kitchen in soup. is closed at night.
Sugar Corner
Far from the fancy chocolates of ChocoLIT, Sugar Corner sells premade candy of every variety, including the ridiculously huge novelty variety! There's even those dispensers full of goodies, where if you pull the handle without holding a bag underneath they'll just spill all over the floor in an endless wave. Have fun with that.
Lightshow
Lightshow is primarily a gaming store! You can buy both games and consoles here, and there's even a wall of televisions in the back set up to provide game demos. You could definitely hook up consoles to them with minimal effort, provided you're familiar with the concept of game consoles at all. The televisions do not currently receive any kind of signal from the outside.
Stronk
STRONK IS THE BEST GYM FOR GETTING BIG AND STRONG! WEIGHTS! TREADMILLS! OTHER EXERCISE THINGS! COME TO STRONK AND GET STRONK! Includes a front wall made entirely of windows so that everybody can see you exercise, and big mirrors so you can see yourself. This is what everyone wants.
LaundryLand
You've probably got enough clothing options that you haven't really needed to do laundry, but after four deaths you have finally been provided with washing machines! LaundryLand is a dry cleaner's, so the machines are made to handle big loads; unfortunately, there's no form of instructions back there, so some of you will probably need help. They also seem to offer tailoring services here, so you can also get needles, thread, some fabric, and even a single sewing machine.
Eastern Hall

Monopoly
It's possible that the aliens of the future have severely misunderstood what Monopoly actually is, because this store actually sells traditional board and card games of all kinds! Like many of these places, not all of them are familiar to you, but there's plenty of old Earth throwbacks. Perfect for a fun family game night - there's even some tabletop roleplaying books in here, if you're feeling a particular amount of...daring? Boldness? There's probably a better word, but most of you don't remember it.
Build-a-Porg
Build-a-Porg is a delightful little shop where you can construct your very own stuffed Porg! First you select the Porg skin, then you fill it with stuffing, and then insert a little plush heart before sewing it back up! Don't forget to fill the heart with lots of love! There's also little clothes and accessories for your Porg! Don't be fooled by the name; there's some non-Porg stuffed creatures that you can make as well. A lot of them seem licensed.
Got Ink?
Is it normal to get a tattoo in the middle of a mall? Well, it's probably about to be, because this is a fully stocked tattoo and piercing parlor! There's not a lot of instructions to be found for using the various needle guns in here, so you'd better practice before you try to ink and/or pierce up. Fight the establishment!
Florence's
Florence's has a very small kitchen area, but it's mostly just a bar. Look at all the different kinds of alcohol you can find here! That's not really the main draw, though; the main draw is probably the large stage and karaoke machine up against the far wall. There's even a piano and a guitar in here, as if they were left behind by some past musicians. What a wonderful place for all your performance needs!
S.M.A.C.
You wanted a makeup store? Here's a makeup store! The stock is far more extensive than whatever they've got in Nebula's, and definitely far more expensive. Smear that hella costly green eyeshadow all over your face, who the fuck cares?
