[Out of Milliways: Having reached Rivet City with the collected loot taken from the defeated Talon Company, Ellen ponders the economics of violence.]
The door opens on a- you know what? Forget the blasted post-apocalyptic scenery out there. Ellen's just walked into the bar with a giant two-headed cow in tow. It's got several dozen bundles strapped to its back in classic pack-animal fashion, but it's at least as tall at the shoulder as Ellen, probably eight or nine feet long, and, well, two heads. Fortunately it's also pretty placid and doesn't seem to care much that it's being led through somewhere indoors, so the only reminders of its presence after it passes are some clods of dirt (yes, just dirt) that fell from its hooves, scuff and nick marks from where roughly a ton of pot roast on the hoof passed through, and... Well, we're sorry about the lingering smell on the air, but that'll pass. And Ellen came back in and got a broom from the Bar to clean up the dirt and sweep it out the door, so there's that. Once she's done tidying that up she deposits a black bundle on one of the tables and puts up a sign:
Cerasteel / polymer body armor for sale
Extremely bullet resistant
Good against knives and blunt force trauma, too
Starting price: six gallons of distilled water per suit
Make Me An Offer
She drops off a note with the Bar asking to see the local stable master, then sits back with a bowl of the vegetables and bean curd with brown sauce that Bar turns out to be so good at making, and waits.
