The Cartoon Meat Afternoon

for a TADC AU, honestly it was originally something I thought about for Hazbin and quickly shelved it. Anyway, the idea!

TL:DR, the characters all own shops in a mall.. Caine owns a bunch of properties in this big city. Housing, stores, etc. He owns a shopping mall and it's failing. Store spaces are empty, people don't hang out there. He needs to sell off some of his apartment blocks to keep himself solvent. So he fixes two problems at once. He moves some of the tenants that were living in his apartments, to converted shops in the mall. now they can live in the mall and work there. They can never leave!

Kinger owns a toy shop. lots of boardgames and a big ol' squishy pillow fort.

Ragatha owns a coffee shop/bakery. There's lots of pictures of horses everywhere, it's very cosy.

Zooble owns an exotic pet store; reptiles and bugs and creatures. Jax is not allowed to buy the millipedes.

Right next door to the exotic pet shop, is Gangle's arts and crafts store. (or maybe zooble and gangle own the arts and crafts store together?)

Jax is the janitor. the jaxnitor. He has lots of keys and is surprisingly good at his job. some people think he was living in a secret spot in the mall before it even had some stores turned into apartments. He likes skulking around in the vents and causing trouble. (or maybe he owns a joke shop but it's never opened because he doesn't care)

Pomni just moved in, she's still trying to figure out what job she wants at the mall, she tries working at everyone else's store.
