1st Dusting

[Voice]

[This voiced bit is made after this hapadash intro here. Getting to be around sunset now]

So, is this Slayer part two here, show up in some "other world?" Gotta say, this is totally toy if it is.

But hey, girl's gotta do, right? So any lurks out there, here I am. Come find me, I dare you.

[To be honest, she's not sure if she believes this is the case or not. She's just restless - to be out of Versi, to not be near Gates or Erin or her new flat with all the heritage she was just beginning to discover. To assume - or perhaps more accurately, pretend - that showing up in this weird wing-world is an extension of that whole deal.

If anyone wants an action portion instead, she's wishing she had her scythe or blaster hanging out around central plaza, on one of the shop roofs, watching people. At least she has on her own set of clothes by now]

[She's feeling reckless, okay? Growing up in Versi can do that to a girl- Okay, flapping, flapping. It doesn't work well at all - she gets no air, and the best she can do is that she suspends herself in the air for a brief moment, going forward still. Wow.

And then she falls, landing hard, but on her feet.]

...Ow.

[touchofrogue]

[...at least she knows how to land.]

Next time ya might wanna try that from a tall log. Give less heart attacks that way.

[makeitquick]

[She gingerly stands. Oh, good, nothing broken. Good. she'd been a little worried after she jumped because she heard about a powers limit]

Advice noted. Gotta say though, that was pretty spled.

[touchofrogue]

[Eyebrow.]

Pretty what?

[makeitquick]

Spled?


...Good. It felt good.

[touchofrogue]

[...I can see how it might.]

Least ya didn't break anythin'.

[And Rogue will shake her head and - not quite being in the mood to be social still, sorry, start to turn back towards the Item Shop.]

[makeitquick]

[...Hm. To push or not to push. She's not in a mood to push a conversation per se, but she decides to follow her on in that shop anyway. It feels less like she's robbing if she goes in behind someone]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue props the door opened when she senses the other girl following and heads right towards the front counter. She shoves her bag behind it, and plugs in her Mp3 player to the docking stand. Enjoy Metallica? Rogue does.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious she works here.]

[makeitquick]

[Never heard it before.


...Doesn't exactly sound bad though. Still, Melaka actually stops just inside the door, closing her eyes to listen to it for a bit]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue glances at back at the door, sees the other girl closing her eyes, and halfway smiles. She'll keep getting set up and leave the other girl in peace while she's just listening.]

[makeitquick]

[She keeps this up for some time, feeling the beat, listening to the sounds. It's... familiar. Sort of. She's not exactly one for clubs ( can't afford it, don't got time ) and not exactly one to play her own music, but she can appreciate the value. Finally, she opens his eyes, smiling a bit]

Not bad.

[she said casually, heading back over towards Rogue.]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue just shrugs. Inwardly, she appreciates someone who can appreciate good music.]

Ya lookin' for somethin' particular? We got a whole stack of new stuff this morning.

[makeitquick]

You tell me - I dunno what's going here.

[Looking around... there seems to be a lot of junk and other stuff beside]

[touchofrogue]

New Feather, huh? Ya get the 'welcome to hell' speech yet?

[makeitquick]

More than once. Prob the only girl who answered "Jesu, hope this is hell."

[touchofrogue]

[Not the right thing to say to someone whose brother is currently in the hands of evil scientists. She scowls.]

Then I hope you enjoy your stay.

[makeitquick]

[...Well, that's a reaction. She arches an eyebrow. Probably hit a nerve or something.]

Sure I won't. Hell might be a thing I know a bit about dealing with, but it'd be skew if I enjoyed it.

[And then she brushes past, to see what exactly the store offers. if she pissed off this gal, it might not be worth it to count on her help, after all]

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue just lets her go. She'll be around if Melaka needs anything or wants to risk striking up a conversation again.

Irritated or not, she will do her job, both the Item Shop and the hero gig.]

[makeitquick]

[O...kay. Let's see - this will be useful, and this. Oh, some crosses? That'll do. Actually-]

'Cuse me, you know where bags are?

[touchofrogue]

[She glances at the girl, assesses, then nods.]

Canvas style's that aisle. [And a point.] Anything more heavy-duty's in with camping.

[makeitquick]

And where's camping?

[Never been camping. But she follows along the point]

[touchofrogue]

Along the far wall.

[...sigh.]

What kindsa things are you lookin' for?

[makeitquick]

[In a tone that's deadpan, but also slightly coy]

Things to deal with hell, and things to put the things to deal with it in.

[touchofrogue]

[Heh]

Anyone tell ya 'hell' had a Welcome Center?

[makeitquick]

More a hands on girl.

[She rummages through some bags here. Looking for one thick but not too bulky]

But yeah, I'll be ocking that next.
