Crapsack World
 Dolmistaska (Webcomic) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: Dolmistaska is a crapsack mall. The older areas are abandoned, overrun with decay, overgrowth, and wildlife, and the more dangerous sections are filled with asbestos and/or "mall elementals". The US military patrols regularly, mall security often picks fights with street gangs, and the mall owner is a real dick about rent.

I'm a Humanitarian: Played with. Feral clowns apparently roam the mall and thrive in it. Since they really do behave like animals and not like humans, some people hunt them for their meat. PM doesn't mind eating it, but Corriveau does.

comment
Caper Crew: Bert is the Mastermind and coordinator who devised the whole plan. Guédille is The Leader and on-site supervisor. Pogo "does the talking". Roteux is The Muscle. Galvaude provides reinforcements in case things get heated and is likely The Mole as well. PM, nicknamed "Poutine" (like the meal, no relation to a certain president of Russia) rounds out the crew as The New Kid and The Driver.

Bilingual Bonus: A lot of the signs in the mall are written in (Canadian) French, and some of the security guards can be seen swearing in that language too. PM has a brief exchange in Spanish with Mateo the janitor before switching back to English – unless it's also Quebec French with Translation Convention in effect.

comment
Destination Defenestration: Subverted. Rachelle sprints and tackles two of her enemies, aiming to send them through the 40th floor window – and not caring if it means she falls to her death too. The window holds, so they're crushed by her enormous mass and turned into Ludicrous Gibs instead ! Also, Rachelle is pretty sure she broke something herself.

Cassette Futurism: The department store where Corriveau works has a video game display set up on a clunky CRT, while hologram projectors can be found at a flea market. Personal phones exist and have an integrated camera, but are still large clunky things with big buttons and liquid crystals screens. Sound recorders can send a signal over long distances but still record on cassette tape.

Creepy Doll: Corriveau has a collection of dolls that represent her and which she sews herself. PM finds them very unsettling. They're in fact vessels that each allow the person they represent to come back to life once. As soon as PM leaves for the heist, Corri sews a doll of them which very soon proves useful.

Dumb Muscle: The Hockey guys' leader Rachelle is tall, strong and loud, and exerts a natural authority over her gang. However, she's far from bright and she knows it. She confesses to PM that she took the head of the gang pretty much by default when the previous leader was killed, and only took the head for fear of disappointing everyone.

It's so large and sprawling that it mirrors actual cities in multiple ways, with parts of it being modern, lively and crawling with people, while other parts are decaying and abandoned, with nature overtaking it and wild animals (and clowns) roaming freely.
