Mingling at the Bazaar

[cityship]

Next to the Mall Hotel, a large bazaar sprawled out through the streets. Food stalls, jewelery stalls, plastic surgery stalls...might want to stay away from that last one. But since the bizaar was close by, it served as a good place for the crew to meet up and start their exploration of XaXing.

[[ooc: This is just a general mingling post guys, so jump in and start threads, tag into other people's, whatever you want!]]

"Aye, well," Jamie replies with a shrug. "I've got a few things I'd like to try and find, so I thought I'd take a wee peek around."

Although he hadn't factored in the possibility of there being so many stores. It's somewhat overwhelming, and he's almost beginning to regret not selling his memories to at least find the area where meat or other foodstuffs could be purchased. Almost.

"I don't suppose ye would have happened to have spotted any stores that sell spices? Or tea?"

"Makes sense," Rachel says, almost dismissively. She had a feeling that he might not be quite into this, or up to it-- if you were serious about finding deals, you didn't take a 'wee peek.' It usually took more effort than that, unless you were really good.

The girl shrugged at his question, nonchalant. "Wasn't really looking for those, so no."

Or really lucky - although on a planet like this, luck is going to be something that's very hard to come by, given the sheer amount of merchants who want to extract the most amount of credits possible from you. Or, given Guide earlier, other things.

"Oh. So what are ye looking for, then?"

[pretty_lethal]

Rachel shrugged, almost dismissive at first, but her voice was a bit different-- it showed a bit more interest in the topic than her body language did. "Clothes, mostly," she said. "I need more than just the plant suit and the few outfits I have."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye, that's not a bad idea," Jamie replies, not without a tiny curl of his mouth upward in amusement. Typical of a woman, really, to think of clothes. Although, to be honest, if someone's going to do so, here does seem like a really good place to go about it.

"Maybe you'll be able to find something to go with that jacket of yours ye were wearing on Gondepetil."

[pretty_lethal]

Rachel nodded. "I have a few things that go with it already, but more never hurts. The plant suit's not bad, but more is better."

Looking him up and down again, she added: "You should come with me."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Me?" Failing to pick up on the reasons behind the look, he blinks at her, somewhat baffled by the request. There's not really any good reason that he can think of that she'd ask him to come along. Well, unless she wants someone to talk to, which he could do, he supposes. But in his experience, usually all that happens is that he winds up carrying something, or goes off down some tunnel he'd not planned on visiting to make sure whoever he's with doesn't wind up getting killed by the daft idea they came up with.

While he's fairly sure that Rachel's not about to go down in a sewer to take pictures any time soon - it really doesn't seem like something she'd want to do ever - he's still not entirely certain he won't wind up with the carrying things result if he does go.

"Why?"

[pretty_lethal]

Rachel rolled her eyes at Jamie's questioning. Why couldn't he just go along with it, anyway? It wasn't a big deal, though-- she'd just have to give him a good enough reason. Though really, she didn't feel the need to do anything but be honest about it. It was a 'I scratch your back, etc' situation, anyway.

"So you can help me out, and I can help you out, obviously," she said, waving her hand a bit flippantly. "Makes everyone's lives easier."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Well..." Jamie considers this. He doesn't really get how she can help him out in this instance, and he's still thinking there'll be that bag-carrying in his future, but what else is he going to do with his time? Without selling his memories, he's going to be wandering around trying to find the shops he wants anyway. So why not go with someone else for a bit?

"I suppose I've not got much to do at the moment. Might as well go with ye."

[pretty_lethal]

"Then we're set," Rachel said, flashed her winning smile at him, and spun on her heel to lead the way into the bazaar. Even though she didn't really have any stores or stalls in mind, she seemed to have a certain direction and drive in mind already.

Of course, she also had a particular way of helping him in mind.

[bonnypiperlad]

Smile or no smile, he knows he's in for something. He's just not sure what, just yet. With a small shrug, Jamie starts after her, heading deeper into the bazaar.
