text. he sells seashells by the seashore

Who: Max and you!
Broadcast: Text
Action: Starstruck, Iskaulit bar
When: After deploying from the planeeet.
Note: If you have something you wanna do with Max that isn't re: this post, we can do a wildcard thing!

[Max has been relatively quiet since their stay on the planet. Maybe it's the whole hugging business leaving him even more vocal than before — maybe it's the fact that he had to shoot someone, which is kind of a reason to lay low. But hey, Max has stuff he can trade off, and he's not about to lose the opportunity just because he's an asocial hot mess. A text goes out, simple enough:]

got a lot of seashells in good shape. will trade them for scraps. metal. weapon parts, auto parts, anything else you have. 

might use them for explosives later otherwise. good for shrapnel.

[........ That's normal, right, making bombs. Bombs are very useful, guys. Um. Hrm.]

they look


nice.


[That means pretty, in restless Australian scavenger code. Attached is a photo. See.]



[One can find him on the Starstruck, pilfering through them to see which ones survived the trip back into space without incident.

Yeah, go ahead and imagine him on a beach collecting shells. It's embarrassing but it's true.

He's gonna be stopping by the bar, mostly to maybe offer Nami some. Maybe. He's not sure. Look, he already gave her something for her birthday, okay? If he keeps giving people stuff, he's gonna end up looking like a semi-decent dude, and we can't have that, can we. He can be found at the bar with a bag of aquatic-related goodies, his old dog Rock laying down near his feet. He's got an old conch in his hand that he's studying curiously before placing up against his ear. He almost looks kind of relaxed by it. Shockingly.]

[Ochako's still getting a feel for the place, truth be told, and she hasn't met everyone yet, mostly thanks to so many of them being adults when she's used to being surrounded by her classmates. That coupled with the situation itself has made her a bit shy. Something about the pile of colourful shells laid out piques her interest, though, so she wanders over to have a look, eyes wide.]

Ahh, whoa! You found all of those on the beach!? They're really pretty!

[That's... quite a reaction! But okay, she'll roll with it. He didn't attack or yell at her, so it's fine.]

Oh, sorry! I'm Uraraka Ochako, I'm new here. What's your name?

[ That's . . . odd. ]

How did you get so many? You don't strike me as the type.

Seashell explosives? Seriously?

Explosive seashells? That sounds exciting.

[Sign her up! Though that wouldn't be very stealthy of her to have those.]

Why not just make trinkets with them and turn a prophet?

Yes, but shells would make a poor showing. You'd barely graze a kitten.

[ oops she started. ]

They make for decent mementos.

[ is she being serious? who knows. ]

Put them on your damn shelf and look at them once in a while. But I suppose you'd need a shelf for that, first.
mucked: (☂ together we can get somewhere)

If you want to trade them, you picked the wrong time. We all came from that planet. We're all flush with seashells. Best hold onto them until they're a little rarer of a commodity.

[ her suggestions isn't serious. she just wants to see if she can convince him to hold onto a handful. for himself. ]

[Tempest no don't encourage him]

i do not have anything worth trading but would you accept services instead? i am a mage

They do but once you use the supplies to make something and turn a profit you can find more supplies and invest more into it, no?

[Someone listens to Josephine too much. It is kind of funny how she rambles about their book keeping for the Inquisition...]

Seems like it'd be way too easy to cause collateral damage.
