✿ 001 | one person's junk ...

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ If there's one thing that could be said about the planet Persephone it's that it isn't lacking activity. The rich showing off their finery to each other while sipping expensive drinks. The poor scrambling around the lower markets for what bits of anything they can afford. People seemingly always on the move. And it's at one of those marketplaces

[There's a gangly man in black happily sorting through a pile of what looks to be useless scrap. He's having a little chat with himself as well.]

It's been awhile since I've been to a junkyard... Forgot how fun it could be. This looks--no, wrong size... this might work...

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ She's slowly wandering up on the man, adding the occasional bit of dusty something or other into the basket under her arm. She catches a bit of what he says and smiles. ]

's always fun. Ya just never know what you're gonna find. An' they're always changin' too.

[bot_builder]

[He looks up from his pile.] That's what I love about places like this. You can find some real gems. Some of my bots were built entirely out of stuff I found lying around a junkyard.

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ She nods. ] All ya gotta do is look. Folk throw away some of the best stuff.

What kind of bots do ya build?

... I mistook her for Dr. Keller at first. orz

[Jade isn't the most social of kids, but even he has to admit that marketplaces like this have some value. There's usually at least a few stalls filled with faraway imports - like books. Textbooks, especially, and scientific journals. Though lately, all he's seen are traders selling gadgets and other little technological novelties. They'd probably be fascinating if he paid them any mind, but gadgets have always been Saphir's thing. Not his.]

[He approaches Kaylee. She seems to know her way around the market, so she might be of use.]

Excuse me. Have you seen anyone selling books?

hee! i'm not that far in my SGA dvd watching yet XD

[lilgreasemonkey]

Hmmm? [ She turns toward the voice, friendly smile on her face in nanoseconds. ]

Books? Well I know those folk over there [ she points ahead and to the left ] got some data cards. Real basic ones. Should be able to get a good deal on 'em but they might be a bit cracked so ya better check 'em first.

have fun with future!Doctor~

[ The Doctor has been running fast. Faster than he ever has before. It wasn't time, but soon, it'd be time for him to stop. That included his dreams, of course. Running around a galaxy sized nexus to try and see, help, anyone he can one last time before it all comes to an end. Something of a morbid note, but he is preparing for it.

He steps inside the junkyard and pauses for a moment. Junkyards always mean good beginnings for him. Or terrible endings. His adventures with companions began in a junkyard. His adventure with the humanized TARDIS ended and began in a junkyard. Now, it seems he'll be having one last adventure in one. ]

Kaylee!

bwahahahahaha ... i mean yay :3

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ She's inspecting a very dusty looking bit of scrap metal, wires sticking out all over it. To the untrained eye it's honestly a piece of junk but to Kaylee it has potential. Or it could just be a piece of junk under all that dust. She's contemplating adding it to her potential purchases in the basket at her feet when she hears her name. She answers without even looking up, fingers having just uncovered a latch on it. ]

Over here!

:33333

[thatoldthatkind]

[ He walks over to her and stops, leaning over to see what she has found. ]

And what's this, then?

[lilgreasemonkey]

This? [ She laughs. ] Don't got a clue. But I bet it'll be good for somethin'. A few of these wires ain't fried through.

[ a young woman is looking some gadgetry over, dressed in a pink shirt and pants, blond ponytails reaching her shoulders. she seems perturbed by this circuit board she has in her hands, like she's trying to figure it out, like maybe it has its function written on it.

as she sees Kaylee approach, she looks at her and straightens. ]

Hello.

[lilgreasemonkey]

Well hiya! [ She smiles. ] I like your shirt. [ And she really does mean it. It's pink. And she's a fan of girly shirts even though, like her flowery shirt today, they don't exactly match with jumpsuits. ]

[fightnow]

[ she glances down at it and lightly smiles. ]

Thanks. Do you know... [ she points to the gadgetry in her hand, voice trailing off uncertainly. ]

[lilgreasemonkey]

What that is? [ She glances at it before eventually holding out her hand for it. ] Looks like some kinda power converter.
