I tried to kick Jerrick
◊ before giving him my name, but the game took it to mean the hero’s name was Kick Jerrick, which is actually kind of cool. I reset, and get the prompt to name him again. Our hero is now known as...
> Conan
"Conan, was it? No wonder I forgot. Well, Conan, is it life in the loser lane as usual?" And without giving you space to retort, he continues, "No, don't answer. I can tell just from looking at you. Well, I didn't come here to dawdle with his kind. Let's go, fellows."
With that he pushes his way past you and departs with his two friends. You step into the mall.

Majesty Mall South End
The interior of the mall is spacious, with several yards separating the shops on the west from the shops on the east. The ceiling, too, reaches to a good height. The lighting is dim, but not excessively so. There is a bookstore to the west, a software shop to the east, and more mall extending to the north. The mall's exit is south.
Alright, let’s give this assbat a kick for calling Conan a loser!
> kick jerrick
You kick, but nothing happens.
...Weaksauce. Probably because he’s already walked off with his goons. We’ll see him again soon, though, and give him a proper beating. For now, let’s check out the rest of the mall.
> north
You move north.
Majesty Mall Center
This, the center of the mall, is occupied and graced by a beautiful fountain around which is a bench that patrons may sit on to rest or to wait for acquaintances. It is the focal point of the building. An ice cream parlor is to the west, a women's clothing store is to the east, and the mall continues on north and south.
A girl is sitting on the bench with her hands in the lap of her dress.
Do tell. Let’s get a better look at the girl.
> look girl
The girl is clothed in a silky blue dress. Long vibrant hair cascades over her shoulders and down her back. Her countenance seems to reflect all feminine virtue, inclusive of kindness, empathy, and consciousness of time and place. Her deportment is modest, and there is propriety in the way she patiently sits waiting for someone, a gallant knight to ride up and sweep her off her feet perhaps. Certainly that cannot be the case, nor do you look anything like a knight, but since when was there ever harm in entertaining a fanciful thought?

Say hello to the first of our love interest harem.
◊ We’ll get to know her and her friends in a little bit. For now, there are shops to poke around in, shoppers to harass, and more. Where do we go, guys?
There are six stores total in the mall: Two near the entrance (bookstore and software shop), two in this room with the fountain (ice cream parlor and ladies clothing), and two more at the far end of the mall (jewelry and an arcade). Don’t forget we also have the parking lot and entrance area.
