Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

[sansseraph]

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"

[Makie studies Wrath a moment.]

...all right. Perhaps I'll have better luck with my shopping if I have another's opinion anyway. I must confess I'm not actually familiar with buying for a child; least of all, a hoarder like Lilly.

[Distraction, she can do. She's been in the boat of not...really. Whatever else is going on with Wrath, she can at least help with that part.]

[pain_train]

I used to pick presents out for my friend's daughter sometimes. I can definitely help if you think she likes cute stuff. [She perks up a little. It's something to do, a really good distraction.]

[therewerefifty]

I don't think she does. Or at least... I don't think she has any experience with liking cute things. [Makie smiles ruefully.] When I met her, she liked to collect old jars she found in the town. I'd come to find lines of them in my bedroom.

[pain_train]

Hm. So I guess... starter cute things. Maybe cute things in jars?

[therewerefifty]

[What an excellent compromise.]

Cute things in jars sound entertaining, at the least. I wonder what she'll do with them.

[pain_train]

It'll be fun to see, I bet. And if we can't find things already like that, we'll make some. Like get small cute things, or some yarn and glitter and stuff, and some jars... [She's really warming up to this project.]

[Wrath isn't the only one. Makie has little experience with actually buying gifts for anyone, let alone small feral children. Who cares if her shopping partner is a little blood spattered, honestly.]

What's glitter?

[pain_train]

[Shock.

How can someone not know that?]

Only the best thing ever! You add it to things to make them sparkle. And you can wear it!

[Yep, her current physical state is completely forgotten now.]

[therewerefifty]

[H-happy to help but she's so confused.]

Sparkle. It's jewellery, then?

[pain_train]

Um. Kind of? Like you decorate with it. It's like... imagine you took jewels and ground them up into a powder that you could put on just about anything, and it would still be the same kind of shiny.

[Ah! She thinks she knows what Wrath is talking about--]

Like the masks that people wore at the ball? [Back on the polluted moon.] Many of them were very pretty.

[pain_train]

Yeah! A bunch of the masks had glitter on them.

...is it dangerous if you eat it?

[Feral children are cray.]
