The Awesomeporium is Open for Business! [Open]
Lash couldn't complain about her life on the ship. In fact, if asked, she might have regarded it as 'pretty good'. In the time she had been there, she had become a Power Ranger (in the brightest of yellow colors), become friends with a rather colorful cast (not that she'd admit it out loud) and even really, really liked a guy (not that she'd admit that out loud either).
During the attack on Galilee, Lash and Zetta had used the distraction to go around and steal--er prolong borrowed some of the items in the nearby shopping mall. It was only fair, considering what they had been put through! Not that neither really cared about morals anyway.
After taking their share, they found themselves with a rather large amount of items and strange knicknacks that might interest the rest of of the ship's fine citizens. Maybe not enough clothing to dress everyone up or to give them a pair of fitting shoes, but she was sure someone could appreciate a new shirt or two, or use them for rags or other creative uses they could find. Therefore their next part of the plan came into motion; if they built it, the others would come.
One of the city's many abandon buildings had been getting fixed and patched up the last few days since their arrival, an old store getting a second lease on life. Only, you know, this one involved demons and afro girls and stolen merchandise. But it was okay! This wasn't going to be a purchasing store, but a bartering one. In between their talks, meets and crashing a prom in the best of ways, they'd managed to get a very crude and badly painted "THE AWESOMEMPORIUM" in dripping red paint over the building front. One of the windows also had the rules, also painted with the same brushstrokes;
1) Find stuff you like
2) Exchange it to us for stuff and service you have
3) We have the right to refuse any deals
4) No Zedds allowed
Truthfully, both Wunderkind and Overlord had very little use of extra materials they might get in return, being people of simple needs. However, just giving items away would label them as being too nice. Turning stolen goods into a store and hiding behind a bartering system? Now that was much more devious. Besides, maybe they'd end up with some pretty cool items and tools in exchange, or having half of the ship owe them favors. Both were prospects interesting enough to follow.
Inside, the store was brightly lit thanks to Lash's repairing skills and Zetta's Merchant Minions (which Lash fondly liked to call Sonja Jr's) walked around the shop, tending to to the shelves and making sure everything looked presentable. Everything was in sections, with the same red paint just put on the shelves (lacking proper materials for labeling) so people would know what they were exchanging for.
Most of the time, Dog, Lash's alien green caterpillar dog was in the store, being lazy behind the counter. Dog was looking abnormally fat lately, barely moving around. The counter sometimes had Lash standing there working on fixing an item, a book lazying around, sometimes the both of them, or sometimes just a merchant minion standing there when neither of them where available. Rest assured, they'd find out what you traded when they were gone.
And just to make sure it could easily be found, one of Galilee's fabulous floating fountains now stood in front, hovering for no real reason that it was built that way. Sometimes you could find Lash was riding in it on a good day or early in the morning.
[[OOC info - this is the list of things that Lash and Zetta have available (one item is slightly unsafe for work). The list will be constantly updated depending on what your characters want and what they exchange for it. Sometimes the bartered stuff might end up on the list if neither of them have use for it.]]

"You know, a girl with your kind of 'fro could probably stand some nice, scented conditioner. It smells like motor oil. I've tried it." Tasted it, actually. Probably not the intended purpose.

God she laughed terribly when she did it on purpose like that. Tee hee hee truly was her call to life.
"Where did you get shampoo that smells like motor oil anyway."

She might have horded all of it away too. For some reason. Unexplainable really. Crossing her arms on the counter, she leaned in.
"I guess we've never had bubblegum but spill it. What did you want out of the store for it?"
no subject
He gives an entirely-too-innocent grin. "Food in a gum and power tools. Whatever you've got except a welding torch. Now that my roommate's gone I'm totally converting his room into a workshop to make a robot." Well, he won't really make a robot. But the roller fridge was a swimming success so he might work on fixing up broken furniture and picking up some car mechanic skills. Or maybe he will make a robot.
no subject
She leaned closer to him, head in her hands as he said the magic words. Workshop. Robot.
"Ooooh? Do tell, do tell! What type of robot are you thinking of? How many rayguns will it have?"

And yet, he is actually game for it. He gives her a cocky grin. "If we make a bet, what do I win?"

Granted Lash didn't much of anything, but snooping around was totally okay in her book.
