You find yourself at an IKEA. In human society, this is generally not a surprising development. Being in an IKEA in the evening at Valentine's Day might raise some eyebrows, however, even if you also see other people around. Some of them are even couples. You guess some people see furniture shopping as a worthwhile way to spend a date?

Today, you don't exactly have a date, though. You're not even sure why you picked today to shop, but hey, it beats moping around back in your aparrtment over your break-up, right?

Spoiler: How to play (click to show/hide)

This is a suggestion game. In a suggestion game, the players, or rather, the audiences, do not play as their own character, but instead as a particular character whom they suggest actions for that character to possibly act upon.

I've never actually been in an IKEA, so there may be some IKEA inaccuracies.

At first I thought this was "You are an IKEA" which would be a whole other game, but thought I would generate an idea for a character.  Came up with this in like 15 minutes so feel free to make changes.

Before considering this---

Is the store closing?

Also maybe I'll just play my card so the people who would be interested actually know what this is about.

[King Zultan]

I was thinking that's what this game was going to be about.

Also +1 to the character that's been proposed. Changed vote to hobo.

[wierd]

I would suggest insane homeless guy.

[King Zultan]

I mean I'd be way more interested in insane homeless guy.

[ZBridges]

An insane homeless guy sounds better to me.

[hops]

oh, good old bay12.

anyways, the premise is ridiculous but I feel like a joke character might be a bit redundant.

[wierd]

Joke? Its not a joke.

the infinite ikea has an empty parking lot, and has old signage. It is a FORMER ikea, that is now out of service, as seen from the outside.

This suggests 3 kinds of incidental player, and 2 kinds of purposeful player.

1) niave shopper desperate for furniture, using an old internet business listing who is not very attentive.

2) homeless person looking for the bathroom/boxes

3) commercial realestate agent inspecting the property.

---

1) private investigator/ paranormal investigator, investigating missing persons

2) SCP Agent


I am legit serious about the homeless guy. Specifically an unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic, who has schizoid personality disorder.

What about someone that intentionally enters the Ikea, in order to escape from police or some other pursuers?

[wierd]

Maybe....  Would be the odd and unusual occurrence.

Your name is Markus Swanson, though your friends call you Mark. You've been looking through the IKEA for a good new desk for your computer, which you wouldn't have thought would be difficult, but the map on the sign doesn't seem to actually lead you to a living room display. Maybe you could just go down to the aisle section and just pick anything, but you're really not in a hurry, you guess. Maybe you could even go for the meatballs they sell here.

...If you can find it. You feel like you've passed through more rooms than you remember the IKEA has last time you were here with your ex. And you could've sworn the maps looks different every time you look at one. But that can't be right, can't it?

You consider just giving in and asking for any employee to just come help you, when you also suddenly realized that you can't find anyone. The IKEA is eerily silent save for the low purr of the central heating. No, that's not right, you can still hear people walking around. Just you can't see any.

You consider your plight, and feel a little freaked out as you spend more time walking around looking for the source of those footsteps, only to find no one. Maybe you should shout for someone to come help you? Would that get you arrested for disturbing the peace?
