Bring your best loot and meet me in the town square. I have a lot of things you guys might be interested in.

[Action]

The merchant waits. He sits with his back against a lamppost and a blanket spread out in front of and under him. The monsters who usually haunt this place are nowhere to be seen, and there is a horse-drawn wagon stood not too far away from where he's seated.

	Golbez arrives in the town square empty-handed; the only "loot" he has worth trading are the energy he's collected, which he wouldn't be willing to trade away even if Cornelia hadn't taken charge of it. "Who are you, and what do you want?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The merchant cocks his head to Golbez impassively, dark eyes shadowed by his hood. A zig zagging scar reaches across from his left cheek up over the bridge of his nose to his forehead. He gestures to all he has set out around him with a tanned hand, a bell on or in his sleeve muffledly jingling. "I trade." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He didn't hear that bell ring today, which means one of a few things: Either it was a coincidence that it has always rung right around the time someone new arrived; or this person has been here for a while. Or, it didn't ring for some other reason. Even without that, though, it's suspicious. "Trade what, for what? When did you arrive in this city?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Goods." His horse gives a snort behind him. "I came in this morning. If you need something, ask and I'll see if we can strike a deal." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is just a little too convenient. "There are children here. What will you charge to take them along with you when you leave?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deadlanders 2011-11-23 04:08 am UTC (link)
	He seems to think for a moment before giving a shrug. "Ten bottles of energy per kid." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A steep price. But all things considered, it could be worse... "And where will you go once you're done here? Can you return them to their worlds?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deadlanders 2011-11-23 04:50 am UTC (link)
	"I'll be heading to the next village that needs me." He says, folding his arms. "I know children are a delicacy there, so I'm afraid they won't be going home if they travel with me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stoppedhiding 2011-11-23 04:59 am UTC (link)
	...or not. "Nevermind. Do you have food? Water? And how is it that you're able to come and go freely? What relation do you have to the Guide?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deadlanders 2011-11-23 05:29 am UTC (link)
	"Food, water, supply. I've got it." He says, as if annoyed he has to repeat himself. "If you don't want something specific, look around and see if anything catches your eye. Pay for it and it's yours. Trade is all I'm here for and it is all I intend to do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stoppedhiding 2011-11-23 07:05 am UTC (link)
	So he isn't going to answer that question. Before shelling out anything for anything, Golbez decides he should talk with the others trapped here. "How long will you be here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deadlanders 2011-11-23 08:00 am UTC (link)
	"I move out at sundown." He replies plainly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Apparently it's Rat's turn to walk the dog today. And by walk he means be bodyguarded by and by dog he means an alarmingly powerful teenage girl who seems to have adopted them.

It's the same thing, really. Either way they head out when the announcement comes on the radio, not from any particular pressing need for weapons or drugs or anything like that, but more because this is the first sign of a local they've seen or heard since arriving. Walking there doesn't take too long, and ever since Jade moved in, they've been able to get through the streets with a minimum of normal-sized monsters.

When they arrive, Rat looks around casually, hands in his pockets, waiting to see if anything catches his eye, or Jade's.

	Jade is a ~~good dog~~ bright, caring young ~~dog~~ girl, who is on a walk with her ~~master~~ friend Rat! Of course, once she actually sees the merchant and his wagon, she's running just a little bit ahead of Rat. She's the exact opposite of casual. "Oooh! How cool!" She coos, shooting a smile at the merchant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He doesn't smile in return. He doesn't respond at all other than turning his eyes on them. Clearly he is a very friendly individual as demonstrated by his complete and total silence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shion is walking the other dog, the dog that is actually a dog, well part dog. And it is not so much walking as carrying and trying to stop the little monster from scratching his eyes out.

He saw the merchant as well, and went to see what was going on. He reached the merchant the same time as Jade.

"Hello Jade! Hello!" The second hello was to the merchant who got a bright smile from Shion, Rat got a smile as well when Shion spotted him.

	"Hi Shion! Hi to you too!" Yup, the second hi was for the merchant. If she had a tail it would probably be wagging. "We came to see what you have!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What do you take as payment?" Rat interrupted, hands lifting to rest on Jade and Shion's heads companionably as he walked back over to stand between them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Suzaku entered the town square, he had a few things that he could try and exchange for whatever this merchant had if there was anything they needed. He looked towards Lelouch, "Where do you think he came from?" (Reply to this)
