♫ 02 [Video/Could Easily Become Action]

[piratedancing]

[Penelo is sitting right outside one of the stores, several packages of water bottles around her.]I managed to get a decent amount of water, if people need it. I was thinking about just saving it for any kids who need it, but after seeing those prices, I figured it's best to just let anyone who needs some take a few bottles. Don't get too greedy

That's really nice of you, Penelo.

[Sora is, thankfully, mostly back to normal today after last night's little adventure.]

Need some help carrying all that?

[piratedancing]

I think I might just sit here and pass it out if someone asks for it.

[She kind of smirks and brushes a hand against her dagger's hilt]

The shopkeepers won't mind.

[Nice? Insanely so. But also a pirate.]

[abstracted_sky]

If you're sure.

[Funnily enough, she doesn't scare him at all.]

Want some company?

[Two words: Jack Skellington. Nothing could scare Sora after that]

That'd be nice.

[Penelo smiles]

I'm not sure where I am, exactly. I kind of just wandered around until I found a shop.

[lol what were you saying about weird hair over there with Sora? Here's an unfamiliar face that doesn't look too amused.]

They're price gouging? [Then a pause. Ugh.] Typical.

[piratedancing]

Yep. [She shrugs] I talked them down, though.

[Words and daggers. Most useful weapons.]

[note_atem]

[He is looking them over.]

In a very persuasive manner, it would seem. [He dun curr if you threatened them within an inch of their life. Most of those shop running aliens have proven themselves to be scum time and time again.]

action or video?

[piratedancing]

I've have lots of practice.

[Proud? You betcha]

Both as a merchant and as a shopper.

[face_kick]

It seems merchants anywhere will do that sort of thing, if it makes them a profit.

Or even if it doesn't...

[Rukia looks... pretty unhappy at this fact of life.]

[video]

[piratedancing]

Only the jerk ones who care more about money than being decent living beings.

[Shared unhappiness, man]

[video]

[face_kick]

Perhaps. Though there seem to be far too many of those.

[Rukia's unhappiness is... slightly drunker.]

[video]

[piratedancing]

Do you need water?

[controlstheice]

Why am I not surprised that they would raise the prices at a time like this.

video;

[piratedancing]

Because even aliens are apparently prone to moments of complete stupidity?

video;

[controlstheice]

That and the fact they are pretty greedy to boot.

[video]

[good_breakfast]

...y'know, after being here so long, you'd think I'd be used to the people here doing something stupid like charging way too much for stuff people need.

[video]

[piratedancing]

That happens everywhere, not just on strange ships.

Re: [video]

[good_breakfast]

Believe me, I know. I grew up in a market city. That doesn't make it any better though.

Thanks for doing this Penelo.

It's only right. People shouldn't be forced to pay out the nose for something they need to survive because whoever's in charge screwed up.
