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!"

[Kaylee gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.]

Whoa, really? The crashin' part is scary, but I've never been on one of those big city-size ships before. That was always for rich folks and Alliance people.

[throwsdown]

[He looks curious — because she clearly knows her stuff.]

For rich folks? I don't think anybody rich'd like this one... It had monsters in it!

[hot4engines]

Man, monsters woulda livened up their lives a bit. Thankfully we never had no monsters back home. [Just Reavers, but, well, this poor child didn't need to know about them.] But yeah, rich folks was the only people who could afford to live on a big cruise liner or city ship.

[throwsdown]

Rich folks... I never been rich before! That's people who can buy all kinds of toys, huh?

And who have more than one room in their house! And don't sleep in the living room!

[hot4engines]

[THIS POOR CHILD, Kaylee thinks. What kind of life has he led? She'll definitely have to look out for him.]

Uh-huh, folks who got a lot of money. And they can afford real food instead of protein all the time.

[throwsdown]

[Be makes a 'bleh' face at the mention of protein.]

Well, you can make lots of credits here! But it's credits you get from the bad guys, so I dunno how great that is... But at least you can buy good food if you don't like the stuff on the ship!

[hot4engines]

From the bad guys- you mean Atroma? Shoulda figured there'd be a catch.

[throwsdown]

[He gives a firm nod. Clearly, not a fan of Atroma.

At all.]

They pay us money 'cus they... watch us on cameras and stuff. And make us a TV show.

I don't know why people'd like to watch us on a show, though.

[hot4engines]

That's the part that's bafflin' me more than anything. I mean, I'm good at fixing ships so I have a useful skill, but do that many people really enjoy watching me be a mechanic? Don't make no sense at all.

[throwsdown]

I dunno... Maybe they really do just got real boring lives...

[hot4engines]

Seems as good an explanation as any. They're bored and got lots of money and nothin' better to spend it on.
