We're gonna shop till we drop! [Open]

Who: Open log that is open for all
Where: Planetside
Summary: Shopping extravaganza
Warnings: SHOPPING

Agrestic might have had might farmer's market and produce that would rival the best farms,but for a wunderkind, this wasn't anything she might have really liked. Food? Pah! She was content with the slop and whatever she could pull off in the sensoriums. After taking a stop at the weapons, she was busy looking at all the boutiques and large items and see what she could barter off and find. There were ingredients to collect and rare crystals to find so she could build more things that could be helpful to the war and dangerous to their enemies.

Maybe she could make something like the Black Obelisks again...only this time with less energy draining of the area. She had a feeling Stacy wouldn't be too happy about something taking away from her own energy.

Maybe even a hot tub...look, she had super important priorities, okay. Priorities that included hot tubs.

Yeah, while Lash was snubbing her nose at food, Mindy really had no choice BUT to get food: variety at that along with tips on how to cook it best, and instructions she could relay to that douchy cook of hers. Hell, even Diana would be forced to learn a thing or two about them, provided she was able to take her mind off flirtation.

And who would she run to in all of this but Lash, buying what Mindy wished she could be looking at right now, her sack brimming with all kinds of foodstuff.

"Hey Lash, how's it goin'?"

[thewunderkind]

"Hey!" she called back before noticing the fact Mindy wasn't buying a whole slew of weapons and was carrying foodstuff instead. How bizarre. Of course she was going to talk about this in the most diplomatic way.

"Wait, aren't you buying weapons?"

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Yeah, I'm gonna, once I make sure all this food is stored away. I'm still running that cafe that Sasami started. I'm still sorta pissed she's gone, and its not like I have anything else to do other than cleaning Ruffnut's castle."

Speaking of Ruffnut, she would make HER carry all of this shit. She probably got weapons already!

"You see any good weapons around?"

[thewunderkind]

"What about just training in general?" Lash offered. "Although I guess cooking can be a good hobby...not that I'd ever do it myself."

At the mention of the weapons, she turned around and shook her bag for effect.

"Oh man you wouldn't believe all the crazy ingredients I got. I know I'm gonna be inventing all sorts of neat stuff in the upcoming months with these! Tee hee hee and I bet imports will never even think twice about how dangerous these lasers could be in the right hands."

[hit_girl_mindy]

"I did it when I was living with dad, and I'm doing it now more for Sasami and Negi's memory more than anything. Training, well, I do a shit load of that when I'm not cooking or cleaning. Hell, I even have a cooking staff if you can believe it."

Mindy's eyes got big. In the battle of doing something like cooking or talking about weapons and their devastation, it was pretty obvious what was going to win out.

"What do you have in mind? I haven't even gotten to check their scrap yet!"

[thewunderkind]

"Not quite sure yet, but definitely some guns, probably install stuff on all the Giant robots if I can help it too...and then, well my mind's pretty imaginative, and I haven't gotten a real excuse to stretch it out lately! I think I might just do some brainstorming and see what I can come up with."

From the mind of Neotanks and Black Obelisks, terrible things were to be expected.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Good idea! I feel like I could find some really good alien gun tech. Just wish I had more time to get all the stuff I can grab, you know? I feel like I'm starting to get rusty with my projectile weapons, and I can't have that."

Actually it had probably only been a few days but to Mindy that was long enough.

"Wanna look for some stuff together?"

[thewunderkind]

"Projectile weapons," she repeated, stroking her chin and thinking about something before shaking her head as if out of a daze. "Uh yeah! Can't have that."

"But yeah! Let's look for stuff!" Lash, you were way too evident when your mind was wandering off somewhere.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"You totally want to go and get to those weapons, huh?" Mindy said, looking exasperated. Yup, totally a Lash thing to do. Not that she could blame her, really. If anything, Mindy was anxious to start looking after spending several hours asking for recipes and storage times.

"Check that one out!"

[thewunderkind]

"Ooooh," she said, looking at it over. "I can't help but think it would be even more dangerous with a double barrel, however. Less elegant maybe, but far more deadly!" She moved a little down where the weapons were stored behind a glass.

"Oh wow! this one's bound to make someone hurt!"

It had bright and shiny green glowy things. Instant love for her.

ha, that icon is perfect!

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Yeah, I hear ya," Mindy said. "I hate having to reload shit. Fucking lying movies, always acting like you have an infinite supply of bullets. What a load."

Yeah, it was really great to have someone to talk about that stuff with. The overlord barely used guns and Ruffnut was Ruffnut. At least lash could appreciate the kind of firepower needed to really shake things up.

"Oh yes, shit, I want that!" Mindy exclaimed, her eyes dancing. Or even something like this! It looks vicious!"

So old tho

[thewunderkind]

"Maybe if we could find a magical bandana of infinite ammo, that could solve our problems," Lash said, pondering out loud. "Of course that type of spell would require some sort of magical bullets, and a good merge of both technological and magical." She looked over at what Mindy was pointing to, and gave a quick nod. "Oooh that does look vicious. I bet you could easily take someone's arm out or two with it!"

She continued to look around until she came to a strange combination of a gun and a blade. "Pffft I wonder how many bullets you can put in that thing. Could be useful, mind you. I always thought the Ranger weapons had a neat aspect to them, switching between gun and lasso, but gun and blade? Way more deadly!"

Re: So old tho

[hit_girl_mindy]

"A bandana of infinite ammo," Mindy repeated. "Well why the hell cant we find a way to make something like that? There are plenty of magical people here on the ship, right? And we need to arm ourselves with everything we can to prepare for the war, right? Maybe it just takes getting someone with the right know how."

She would definitely be thinking about that now, and turned to look at the weapon. "I dunno, kinda unwieldy. The whole thing with swords are that they're quick, close ranged weapons and you'd need a gun long range. So it sorta fucks with the conveniences by having to learn a whole new way to fight with both on one plate. It might make more sense to have a hidden...OOH, are those grenades?!"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

And wandering up to Lash came a familiar figure carrying a familiar book... and a few other minions also carrying bags of merchandise that apparently came from clothing stores.

And the book had a wickedly pleased smile on its face.

[thewunderkind]

Lash laughed and gave him a wave and grin back, stopping long enough to crank up a giant gun to test it out, before just tossing it back to the guy with a small mutter she'd come back for it later.

"Hey! You got some stuff to pawn off for the shop?" She was terrible slow at catching on, sometimes.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Yes, Lash," Zetta said, deadpan. "There were these superweapons and doomsday devices just lying around my fortress that no one would have wanted, so I brought them out to sell them."

[thewunderkind]

"Pffft yeah right," she replied, brushing him off, before pointing to all the bags the minions were carrying. "No one's touching my doomsday devices. I mean those!"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"I'll touch your doomsday devices." The book waggled its eyebrows and leered at Lash wickedly. "I bet I could find the 'on' switch."

[thewunderkind]

Lash was getting good enough to know exactly what he meant which was frightening in itself. Her reaction was to give the book-holding minion a motion to drop him. Her totally non-existent pride was on the line! Besides, if she even just found that funny or said nothing, Zetta would have figured something was wrong.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

The minion, entirely aware of which side of the bread both her and the Overlord's butter was on, threw her hands wide. The book tumbled face down, smacking the ground hard.

In what by now was a familiar sight, it began to curse outrageously as it flopped about.

[thewunderkind]

That, of course, got Lash to very delightfully laugh at the entire situation, and assuming her victory assured, walked over to him with a grin...before tossing her shopping stuff at the minions and grabbing the Overlord herself.

"I hope you've learned your lesson!" Hahaha yeah like any of them learned 'lessons'.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Yeah, next time I won't announce my intentions! I'll just go for the goods!" the book grumbled. Most of his anger had evaporated when she'd picked him up, but he was still pretending. "And here I got all sorts of nice crap for you!"

[thewunderkind]

She let out a small laugh at the last comment. "Tee hee! Nice and crap don't really fit together, you know? That's like...an oxymoron!" Yes, thank you Lash for the grammar lesson. She looked around at what the minions were holding.

"So what is it? Lots of ingredients for weapon building?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"What? No! You know what you want for that better than I would, I'd end up getting you flux capacitors when you wanted paced fluxacitors." Zetta that didn't even make any sense. "No, I have to get you things you wouldn't get for yourself. That's what makes a good gift!"

[thewunderkind]

"What I...would get for myself?"

...what would I get that I wouldn't get, she wondered quietly. She started at him like she had no idea what he was talking about, which was somewhat comical considering she was holding him.
