Setting up shop (GM)

[Abram Dabra]

Well some of that was pretty surprising really! Who would have thought that he would find an unopened pack of batteries in a junk yard. People really did throw away the strangest shit sometimes. It was a little disconcerting to see everyone flee from him, but in their defense he was dressed up pretty strange. That probably didn't make him look to inviting. There was not much he could do for it.

He gave the game boy games a peek to see what he had scored before packing everything up once more and carefully bringing it back to the truck. Being extra careful with the fish tank. The glass would be useful if he could dismantle it and use the panes and work with it. But if he dropped and shattered it then it would be useless to him.

The back of the truck was organized much the same as before, but he would put the fish tank in the cab. He didn't want metal to hit it and break it. And the copper wire would go over with the scrap metal!

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

He had found Street fighter II and Pokemon Blue! Upon another looking around he would find two handfuls of ball bearings through out his rummaging found a few more pecies of leather, more metal pieces. He even found a couple things of glass slightly scratched and very dirty but otherwise held together. If he cared to look while he was on his third trip there would be a Crow watching him everywhere he went and almost seemed as though it was following him.

[Abram Dabra]

"Fuck yeah! Pokemon!"

That was a blast from the past. He was clearly going to choose Charmander as his started. Because fuck you, that's why! And the writer is going to assume that the Crow was the bird and not the gang member type. Either way he would keep an eye on the crow. He wasn't sure how much room he had left in his trunk. But he would go back to looking for more electronics.

Bluetooth, old or new. CB radios. Cell phones. He needed things that could transmit so he could make a radio jammer, as well as a communication device for himself. But again, whatever he could find would be more than he had now. At this point everything was a boon.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

He would find a couple of dead cell phones and even one cracked screened smart phone all dead. A bluetooth headset, and some tv satellite equipment, he would even find couple of household electronics some cords a power strip, and a blender. He would find the remains of what could have been a radio... or 3, but there were so many pieces that theres no way to tell.

[Abram Dabra]

He giggled to himself. This place was amazing. It was a shame people were already setting up shop here or else he might have. Scooping all of the stuff in to the bag he would go to drop it back off at the truck. He figured he had one more trip left in him before he let them check it out, only because he wanted to stay on good enough terms to come back. This place was way to much of a gold mine to risk losing it.

Heading back in the junkyard once more he looked around for where the shop used to be here. If it was a junk yard they probably did some repairs and the like to sell back and make a profit on some items. If so he might be able to swipe some tools. Grinders, blow torches, anything that he could use to suppliment his tools at the shop. Because let's face it, he was good but a hammer, a wrench, and a screwdriver were only going to get him so far.

Glancing back behind him he would try to see if the Crow was still following him, or if he could see any of the people watching him. The place still gave him the creeps, but when weighed against his need of stuff and greed, well. Greed was winning.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

A crow would indeed still be watching him but whether or not it was the same crow he wouldn't be able to tell. He wouldn't see anyone watching him, but he would definitely feel their eyes...

Upon locating the old shop there would be a few tools not many but a better selection than what he had. As Clyde headed back to his truck with his most recent load the same man from earlier would be standing there, with the crow on his shoulder, waiting.

"Have you found everything you were looking for?"

[Abram Dabra]

He laughed a bit as he started to load up the truck. Keeping things organized as best as he could. He was an organized person. At least when it came to his supplies and tools. Your tools were your lifeline in the world, and it was only smart to take care of them.

"Can you ever really find everything you are looking for in this day and age? Thank you though, for allowing me to pick through the junk yard. I trust I didn't cause to much trouble?"

He was trying to stay friendly because it was pretty beneficial to be on good terms with the guy.

"So did you need to look through my stuff before I go or what?"

He wasn't sure how the guy planned for this to go down.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

"No you didn't cause too much trouble, and I've already inspected your things and I see nothing of which to complain about. Though I will say this, this is your one free ticket, next time you must have something to offer us, your offering is whatever you see fit to give for what you want and we will judge how much its worth."

The man would seem to think about something before speaking again.

"I heard you mention that you were looking for a winch right? There is a man down the road a bit that I think might be able to help you but he isn't as generous as us, if you wish to have one go speak with him. He lives in the white house a half mile up the road."

The man would then walk back to the junkyard without even a good bye.

[Abram Dabra]

He nodded at the man's words. Sucker was giving all of this away. Sweetness for Clyde! And what was more, that he was willing to trade later in the future. Talk about a double score. Because he was totally down with trading.

"I'll stop by some time and I will pick up a list from you on things that you and your people desire. If I come across something I will know I can bring it here for trading then."

He gave the man a two finger salute and would head to the white house up the road! A winch would be super useful! Though he did take what the man said to heart. He would probably have to trade here. Or something. Hopefully he could get what he wanted with talking. He really wasn't in a position to go fighting people. He didn't like doing that unless he had some time to prep.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

After going up the road a little bit he would see a small dinging white hut, that could barely even be called a house but right in the yard would be the most beautiful winch Clyde had ever seen, it would look absolutely perfect. An old man would be sitting outside on the 'porch' reading a book of some sort. The man would look up to Clyde as he came pulling into his drive way.

"Hmmm..."

Was all the man would say before returning back to his book.

[Abram Dabra]

Pulling up to the house Clyde's eyes widened at the site of the winch it looked gorgeous! It was the right size and everything! It didn't even look to be old and rusted. Oh God, it was his lucky day today. Other than that dumb vending machine! His jaw dropped behind the mask as he stared at it greedily. He wanted it, and he wanted it bad.

Getting out of the truck he waved at the old man and would approach the house.

"Hey Old Timer! I was told you might be willing to do business."

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

The old man didn't even look up from his book.

"Oh? And who said that?"

He said sounding completely uninterested.

[Abram Dabra]

"The creepy guy with the headband at the junkyard."

He said pointing his thumb back toward the junkyard he had come from. He approached the winch and bent down to examine it. Man it really looked awesome!

"Am I wrong?"

He didn't look up at the man.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

The old man shook his head as he let out a small chuckle.

"I teach him one thing ONE THING and he thinks hes the biggest man on campus. One more thing! That what I always told him, its always good to learn at least one more thing, but no! He goes on thinking hes good enough! Sure hes good for some of the stronger people in those gangs over yonder but if he came across Barker he would have to tuck tail and run! Youth these days..."

The old man had gone about his ramblings he almost forgot about Clyde.

"Hmmm, so you want that winch there ey?"

[Abram Dabra]

He was rubbing the winch by the time the man noticed him again! Pulling out the cord and testing it's strength. It seemed like it would be doable.

"Huh?"

He looked back at the old man and let go of the cord. Watching as it rolled back up. He looked back at the old man, and back to the winch, and back to the old man.

"Yeah. You willing to part with it Old Man?"
