Elevator Pitch:
With 'Dead' Malls having some amount of prominence; why not use that as
a setting? Who better than high-schoolers as point of view/protagonists? They're the generation that is inheriting this mess. At the same time
how to make this not a boring slog through city planning? Well, add a
little bit of urban fantasy in the form of the mall itself not just
being a setting but a character that has its own wants and motives, but
cannot directly communicate with people in a way that can be traced unambiguously back to itself. When? Modern day. What's the point? To
shine a light on these monuments and temples to consumerism that are oft decaying as it's just a gargantuan project to take on with not a lot of
surity on making money at the end and show what could be done with such
a space. Plus, The co-leads are the scion of a wealthy family and an anarchist.

Some Background:
I got effectively dared into this before I abandoned discord by someone
asking - 'What if there was an arcade that was self aware and wanted to manipulate people into visiting it more?' This was in relation to the dungeon-core subset of Isakai stories. Aka 'Person gets yeeted into
another world where modern knowledge makes them a force of Change in the world' with Dungeon Core being a sybtype where people get turned into
the motive force behind ye olden fantasyland dungeon.

What I'm going to do:
Every Sunday. I am going to post a chapter here. Be it a thousand words.
Be it more. One update a week. I will attempt to limit the amount of
typos, but as this will all be first draft? No promises.
