In The Market

[_trudy_]

Trudy wandered through the market, keeping an eye out for something they might eat at the feast. She was a vegetarian of course, but the others weren't, and it would be nice to have something for everyone. Maybe someone might have a chicken or a few eggs to sell, or maybe she could find something that was sweet - like real chocolate, not those

In the Market

[mozzie_moz]

Moz, wandering the market, paused when she saw Trudy. She debated a moment before coming up behind her. "Well, what do we have here? Shopping, Trudy? Why? Have the Mallrats got something to celebrate? Salene's rise to City Leader? Amazing how a Mallrat always gets that job. But I'm sure that's just a coincedence...isn't it?"

Trudy turns around, eying the catsuited girl. "Hello, Moz." she says coolly. "If you have a complaint about how the city voted, you could always come check the votes yourself." She turns back to bargaining with the vendor.

Moz scowled at Trudy's dismissal. Coming up to the market stall, she purposefully grabbed a piece of food Trudy had reached for. "So, there's a rumor my Mosquitos started hanging around the Mall. Wouldn't know anything about that, would you? Or where they might be now?"

Trudy allows a flash of irritation to cross her face. Gone were the days when she'd cower in fear at the idea of someone getting in her face, though. She'd been through too much for that. "The last I heard, pretty much all the Mozzies were rounded up by the Technos." she says. "There have been a few here and there, but they seemed singled out, not living together as a tribe. One of them became a Mallrat, yes - but since Ram's defeat, she's disappeared as well. I think she may have run off with a boy she'd fallen in love with."

Moz frowned, the more she was hearing of what had been happening in the city while she was away, the less she liked it. "You think? You don't even know? You know, considering you can't even seem to keep your own tribe together, you shouldn't go taking other tribes' members underwing. You obviously lose them, too." Since it seemed Trudy didn't have anymore information for her Moz turned to walk away. "But since you Mallrats seemed to have found a way to be in charge again, you could atleast look into finding out where the Technos took the people they captured. Shouldn't you?"

"We can't seem to keep our own tribe together? Where were /you/, Moz? The Mallrats rescued kids from those awful Techno experiments. The Mallrats are the ones who got a hospital going, and helped defeat the Technos. What were -you- doing, filing your nails?" She then purses her lips tightly. "We've been sending out search parties every day. If you're smart, your tribe will do the same."

Trudy turned back to the vendor. She'd worked out a nice trade - some fresh vegetables - including lettuce and cucumbers, a bottle of bacon bits, and even a bottle of unopened salad dressing. It be a healthy treat for the tribe, and managed to get a jar of unopened meatsauce and a few boxes of pasta. She'd traded everything she had, but she was confidant that she had everything she needed for the Mallrats to have a feast. And maybe she could do something small and interesting with the pasta since she wouldn't eat the meat sauce. Looking back over her shoulder to see if Moz had gone on her way, she began to head back to the mall.

Moz turned back, a sharp reply on her lips, but she bit it back. She didn't want to let the Mallrats know too much. She stormed away, silently fuming...
