"I need to get a job." Jason mutters to himself, stuffing the bloody handful o money away. Yes there were animals with money stuffed inside them, but that involved a lot killing of woodland creatures and Jason was getting a little tired of that.

He was still not quite used to the forest after the streets of Gotham, but it was growing on him, and he found himself enjoying the weather, scenery as he made his way back into town.

He was walking up to his when he paused, and strode up to the man sitting with a quite impressive display of ware before him.

"Ginko." He calmly made himself at home, sitting before the other man. His eyes were a little too intense on him, almost feverish, and the memory of that dream came back in a painful flash, seeing his body tumbling down, the wind tearing at his own body.

Too late again, Jason.

He forced the thought away, though a bit of a frown crossed his face.

Ginko looked up from what he was doing, his face calm and unreadable. "Jason." He finished rearranging the things, then sat back with a slight smile.

He hadn't forgotten the last time they'd talked, covered in fear-sweat and acting calm, after that dream of Jason's. He noted the intense look but ignored it--there could be several reasons Jason was looking at him like that, none of which he wanted to address. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

So they were going to ignore the elephant in the room for now. Jason could handle that. "Just wandering in the forest. Came back out, and saw you here." He sat down by the blanket, crossing his legs comfortably, eyeing the various items lain out.

"How's business?"

The smile faded. "Slow, so far."

He reached into one pocket, twisting slightly so he could pull out a cigarette and his matches. "Just one of those days."

This is something he has never seen before.

True, the only cities he has any recollection of seeing, of knowing, were a ruined shambles--but if he rebuilt them in his mind's eye, he could not see them looking like this, from the details like screens and rooftiles to even the overall shape of them. And when he pressed his ruined memory, looking for some sort of familiarity, it remained so--a village such as this was not one he had ever seen or been in.

Thus he wandered its streets, frequently looking up and around, to take it all in--so much so that he almost didn't notice the staring from the other inhabitants, due both to his manner of dress and his stature. As such, the stall of the man who had spoken to him yesterday did not escape his notice--nor did the strange things he had out to sell. Curious, he bent over to get a closer look. "What are these?"

verdant_walker October 7 2011, 02:30:49 UTC

Ginko looked up, smiling faintly when he recognized the man as one of the newcomers he'd spoken to recently. "Hey."

He looked down, expecting to see the man pointing at something in particular, but no--he seemed to be talking about everything in front of Ginko. He looked back up with a shrug and a slightly broader smile. "My wares. Medicines, good luck charms." He grinned, suddenly. "Maybe even a love potion or two."

hailtothelight October 7 2011, 16:56:37 UTC

Ah--that made some sense. Though he had never seen medicine take this form before.

"Potions, ethers, elixirs?" He asked, curiosity changing to intrigue. Those could be useful... he leaned over further, and took hold of something odd: pieces of paper with something--either writing or painting, he couldn't tell which--inked on them. "What are these?"

verdant_walker October 9 2011, 04:53:55 UTC

"Yeah, were you looking for something in particular?" His attention is drawn to the papers the other man picks up. "Ah, those are medicine packets." He'd drawn on them when bored, practicing a little-used skill.

Peering at the particular ones the man had picked up, he said, "Those are a sleeping potion... and that one helps to dull pain."

[[ooc: *Sob* I couldn't find a picture, but they basically look like little triangles or oblongs of folded paper with powered medicines inside, all tied to a single string.]]

"And what precisely are you selling here?" Mayuri peered over the wares curiously, deciding if and what he could use these things for in his lab. He had sent Nemu off to gather a specified list of supplies to give himself time away and free himself for exploration without having to explain every little detail to the dullard.

verdant_walker October 9 2011, 03:10:29 UTC

Ginko couldn't help raising an eyebrow at the guy's appearance. He looked like an actor or... something. Had he forgotten to remove his makeup? Ginko couldn't even tell if this fellow was a native or an otherworlder with his forehead covered.

Well, it probably didn't matter. He smiled in a business-like way, leaning forward slightly. "Medicines, elixirs, good luck charms... were you looking for something in particular?"

science_sadist October 10 2011, 07:34:45 UTC

"Not in particular, just simply curious. What are they made out of? You can just give a general answer, I'm not looking to steal your formulas or anything." As he spoke he picked up a bottle, weighing it and examining it. "And what in general do you medicines treat?"

It appeared that he found another scientist, or at least a small time doctor. That might be nice to have someone to compare some notes on about this new world. Mayuri was curious as to what this man already found.

verdant_walker October 10 2011, 21:33:53 UTC

"Various local plants... there's no real secrets. The Nomads showed me how to make many of them." The plants here were just different enough that he hadn't been sure which would produce what effect, but the Nomads had taught him well. He was confident he could reproduce all the medicines he could make in Japan as well as a few new ones they had shown him. "My medicines treat a lot of different things. Colds, fevers, wounds, infections, something to help with broken bones, pain... I've even got something that's good for snoring."

None of the things were instant cures, of course. But they helped more than nothing at all.

Mello was misplaced and restless, and looking to either cause enough trouble to distract himself for at least a little while, or to smash his way out of this fucking place.

"Got anything that would blow shit up?" He stops in front of the man, shoes scuffing a bit on the road.

verdant_walker October 9 2011, 03:19:58 UTC

Ginko looked up as another person stopped in front of him, starting to pull a welcoming smile into place--

And then the words actually registered and the half-smile slid away, leaving his face expressionless and blank. He stared at the person for a few seconds before he spoke. "Uhhhh... no. Sorry."

He paused briefly before adding, "Any reason why you'd want something like that?"
