[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

You decide to look around for something warm to start….sure enough, you find some flannel and wool, in mostly neutral colors…

There’s some black leather, too.

Flannel is 7 bucks for a yard, 8 for wool, and…there’s only a few scraps of leather, but if you were to pick them all up, they’d be 12 bucks. 

What about…a laptop? Or a phone? Something you could get in-demand entertainment with…

You have to go to the top floor to find the electronics, and god, all the plastic here is really banged up- but there are options. Laptops are 50, a phone is 30.

Hm. Decisions, and you still want a weapon-

TIMOTHY: Hey!
POLKA DOT: Oh, hey.
TIMOTHY: I found this-
 

He holds out a plastic sword, all one solid color- red, of course.

TIMOTHY: It’s not great looking, but it should cut, right?
TIMOTHY: It’s discounted, probably because nobody wants it…
TIMOTHY: But…
 

There’s a look in his eyes you can’t place.

TIMOTHY: I see promise in it.
TIMOTHY: But… for now this is all I want to pick up.
TIMOTHY: I’ve got some extra cash, though…
TIMOTHY: So I want to make you a deal!
POLKA DOT: Huh?
TIMOTHY: If you help me research some stuff for my munch next week, I’ll give you twenty bucks for the trouble!
TIMOTHY: All it’d be is looking up stuff in the library when we’re off shift, might take some coordination…
TIMOTHY: But I figure a friend could help me look twice as fast!
TIMOTHY: What do you say?
