[Day 6]

[Scout clears her throat, a bit uncertain about addressing everyone, but she has several things to say.]

There's a lot in the market. [She sounds a little dubious. Capitalism is not her forte.] And if we're getting each other stuff, I'm not sure... okay, what kinds of things do people actually want?

[Hastily:] I'm not saying I'll get it for you. Or anyone else will. General ideas, I guess? What kinds of things. Maybe your best colors. And how do people feel about being given items related to their job? Clothes people getting cloth? Do you want that, or do you handle it enough and can get better anyway, more officially?

Also giving people animals randomly without asking about things sounds like a bad idea. Even pokemon are a lot of work, and you can just keep them in storage half the time. No one get me an animal, by the way.

I don't think I've ever really done this before? The... Buying gifts for people. Plus I've only just met everyone, I'm not even sure what's... Appropriate? To give?

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm a little lost on all this too, so you're... Not alone there.

Pretty tempted to buy some things for myself and for my room mate, though... Are you getting anything for yourself at all?

[stillwinningthehardway]

I've done a little bit, but always on a much more limited scale. Hardly anyone even went out to a market, even.

Yeah, there was something that looked good, so why not? How about you?

My friends call me Scout, by the way. You sound new!

[brightspot]

I think I'm gonna. Especially like a laptop or computer, I've gotten so used to having one. Sucks a little bit being without.

Hi, Scout! I'm Five. I think I may have briefly run into you and heard your voice after I first got rescued from the Prince? We both work under Peridot. But it was kinda chaotic then so not a lot of time to get to know one another...

Oh, of course! These seem pretty decent quality, too. You might need to ask to have electrical access in your trailer, though. More... power ports to link your machines to, most trailers only have a couple.

Right, right. [A name like Five from someone who appears to be human makes her suspect cloning. Well, not like Five could help that.] Usually it's a little bit less hectic than that here. A little bit!
