"Alright!"

Josef shouted as the deal quickly went down. Removing the orginal leather jacket that Josef wore and replacing it with the reinforced leather jacket , Josef waited for the next deal that could come up. Hopefully a rifle will pop up. Or a shotgun. Or a shotgun/rifle combo. Or something better then a crappy little Chinese pistol.

(OOC-Actually, I don't really need anything else right now. I might sell my Police Baton if another melee weapon comes up, but I'm good for the moment. Guess this means I'll be able to get a whole slew of new equipment for tier three?)

(OOC: I'm waiting for a hunting rifle, shotgun, or carbine. Maybe another pistol if one comes up, too. A skinning knife would be pretty cool, too. But Judas does have to save up for that small tent over at Trapper's.)

[ *  *  *  *  * ]
Dave had reached town with Betty and had stayed on the outside of the crowd, keeping an eye out for any double-handed small guns they might have. He needed to replace his musket for something more durable... and precise. Preferably a carbine.

He couldn't make out any details too well, what with his bad vision, so he tried to listen to the crowd instead, listening on any rumours or extra information on what the "Signbacks" were all about. Each time the caravanners put something up for sale, he'd squint his eyes to try and make out more than just the general shape of the thing.

As the latest items came up to be bargained, Dave felt for the stuff in his pack to make a mental list of things he could trade with. His hands touched a packaged and after a moment of cluelessness, he remembered that a friend of his had given it to him as a going-away-present. It was a post-war book wrapped in some crumbly brown paper and tied up with some string. It had been his town's first printed book; they managed to get the old pre-war printing machine working again and they copied a set of old pre-war books onto it. They happened to be Dave's favourite trilogy. Or maybe it was done on purpose; he wasn't sure. He remembered seeing them cut up the pages and stuffing them all together, creating the metallic covers (so as to protect from the harshness of the wastes), binding everything into one solid block, engraving the title on the cover... They made a batch of thirty and they had giving the first one to roll out of the press to him. He had felt honoured.

He slipped the book back into his pack and kept feeling his equipment, wondering what the traders would find most valuable and what he could dispense.

(OOC-The upgrades on tier one armour, compared to tier two aren't that big of a difference. And I like Eddies suit, so I'm going to keep it for a little while longer. Besides, I'm not interested in anything else of the tier two meleee weaponry but the Crowbar, and that already went on sale. Besides, it matches Betties character more then it does mine.

And Twenty, the small tent won't be very useful once you leave this place for a more higher tier residence.


Lastly, Zydrate. Might want to wait till Zilabus gives you the heads up before you do that. )

(OOC:I suppose I'll continue Caleb and Judas' conversation while I wait for a rifle to pop up.)

Judas glanced at the guy who showed up behind them. A little strange how he seemingly appeared out of nowhere with tales of doom and gloom, but at least he could answer the question. Judas nodded his thanks to the stranger, hoping that, by not replying with words, the weirdo would go away.

Judas turned to the massive tribal he stood next to. The guy was not the best conversationalist Judas had ever met, but at least he was kind enough to answer Judas' questions. "Thanks for the information. Name's Judas Sanford. I'm hoping to get a new weapon from these caravan guys. The kind of work that one seems to get around here requires something that shoots faster and more accurately, you know?"

Hagan drifted in and out of the real world as he walked back toward Bucket Town. He was busy trying to figure why his freaking traps were still empty. Not two days ago he had seen a group of molerats wandering around out here, fat ones too. He had set his bear traps around a possible burrow and even used the last of his dogmeat as bait. Hagan was looking forward to watching them kick and die as they tryed to graw their stubby legs out of the trap.

Cursing slightly he looked up as he neared the town. He saw a large crowd gathered around a large cart and rickshaws. Haven't seen a caravan around here in months. A man stood out yelling and pointing to the crowd while his assisstants handed things down.

"So it's an auction is it?" Hagan said to himself and picked up his speed to make sure he got there before they sold anything he might want.

He didn't have much to trade. He could spare a bottle of vodka, his half bag of food and his jacket was so thin now it provided almost zero protection. He would probably trade his shotgun for a better weapon if he gets a chance. The last time he shot it the barrel nearly cracked and Hagan was unsure if it would fire safely again, but he wouldn't tell the auctioneer that, of course.

Too many people crowding close to the cart, so Hagan stood farther back. Close enough to be heard but too far to have his stuff stolen by some thief taking advantage of everyone's distracted attention. He waited patiently for a quality weapon or piece of armor to be auctioned. Then he'd speak up and make his bid.

((OOC-Friggin' out-of-character... It'll be the death of me one day. Keep the chatter down a bit, 'kay? I tried to grab the gist of what you guys wanted. Sharp melee and a rifle. ))

The gruff man didn't wait any longer, handing off the rare energy weapon. Finding ammo for it was difficult, but actually finding a working model was nearly impossible.
He appraised the crowd watchfully. He knew what would likely be the best sellers. Not many people had the knack for a laser rifle, specially not out here. He pulled out an old, grimy rifle. It was in a rough state. Covered in dirt, and with some loose pieces hanging here and there. (Old dirty hunting rifle)

"Alright folks. If you want protection, there's nothing better then a trusty rifle at your side. And I'm willing to part with this one."

"And that's not all! I picked this off of a tribal outside of Nashville a few months ago. In great condition too." He pulled up a heavy, wicked object, glinting in the sun. (Small cleaver)

"I'll sell 'em off seperately, 'cause I don't think ya'll have the money for both. Who wants what?"

The woman standing next to him passed off her own wares a bit earlier then that, the reinforced jacket going off for a small profit. It wasn't much, but the additions to it's protective qualities where possibly life saving. She pulled out a rather rough and hard leather piece. In a few seconds, she'd attached it by scavenged buckled in the front, forming a russet colored leather vest. It looked to be very stiff, although it was rough and shabby. (Rough leather armor)

"Maybe you just wanna keep the important stuff safe! This thing'll go for pretty cheap, and I garuntee it'll save your life. Or your money back!"
