ITP: Swap Meet

[slashing_canon]

[Outside the Arts and Crafts hut, two young men sit on the ground ...crafting. Well, one of them is crafting, the other is just giving helpful suggestions.]

This is great but...I think we'll probably run out of materials before we make any money, this way...

((Found some fascinating shiny things on the panty raid that you need to offload before

[expert_slash]

...Well, do you have any better ideas?

[slashing_canon]

...Not really.

[expert_slash]

Well, after you went to all that trouble to collect...materials, we ought to put them to use, right?

[slashing_canon]

It's the least I could do, really. I mean, it's not like I could make anything, so I might as well be helpful like this.

Although [inspect charm] this isn't really the sort of thing I'd expect you to be making.

[tarnished_salt]

*watching you interestedly*

Do you need some?

[expert_slash]

...Don't people usually?

[tarnished_salt]

It's not much use here, as far as I can tell. I suppose there's a store, but I'm not sure what it sells.

[expert_slash]

...Not much use? [o alien concept] ...Is it that easy to just find what you need, around here?

[throwawrench]

Hmm - materials? You make things, then? Do the things you make do anything interesting?

[slashing_canon]

Ah, I don't really make anything -- that's Edward. He's pretty good though, so yeah...I guess they're pretty useful.

[throwawrench]

If he's good, that's good! Useful things are good. If people made things that weren't useful, then they'd have no reason to want them, and wanting things is part of human nature, right?

[slashing_canon]

Er...right. It wouldn't do us much good if he made useless weapons and armor. Though I guess everyone's gotta start somewhere.

[yourcompetition]

What are you making?

[slashing_canon]

[holds up wrist so you can see the charm; it's called "smiley charm", but it is totally a friendship bracelet]

I think it's supposed to lift your spirits.

[yourcompetition]

You're making bracelets?

[slashing_canon]

They aid you battle, a little bit. And they don't look to bad, either! [dangle dangle]

[reidealize]

*slows down as he passes by, tilting his head*

... what are you doing?

[slashing_canon]

We're -- we''l, he's crafting. I can't really help, so I'm just watching.

[reidealize]

Crafting, is it ... it has been awhile since I have seen someone do that here.

[slashing_canon]

[Looks back at the arts and crafts hut]

But...this building says-- we're not-- we're not doings something wrong, are we? We really just got here, and don't want to get into any trouble or anything. Really!
