Z'verse 3. Zoe's Room . Second Day of Shopping.

Ghosts don't really need to recharge.

Swindle was still getting used to that fact when he turned the emitter back on with the first rays of light. Being 'awake' didn't bother him so much, he had plans and ideas to keep his mind occupied.

"Odd I recharge in the Dream, but not here," he said to himself, as he glanced over from where he sat, watching Zoe and Silver still snoozing away.

"We..were going back to Dalla's..." Swindle started. Drat, he'd have to carry that thing with him. And probably cut the shopping short...

Zoe's started chatting with a slender, grey-haired human woman during the last few moments, at Swindle's words the woman takes a step forward and introduces herself as a servant of Dalla's household.

"Is there anything you'd like me to bring back for you, sir?" she asks respectfully.

It might be noted that she's wearing a distinctive pattern on her tunic, and that there's a skinny boy with a bird on his shoulder and a big burly black guy in the exact same kind of tunic not far away.

Swindle is getting the distinct feeling that *someone* must like him very much--though he can't figure out the reason why. "Ah, yes, this plant..." Swindle says, picking it up and removing it from the blanket rack. At least it wasn't trying to wrap itself around him anymore, "Do be careful...and by careful I mean make sure it doesn't anchor itself to you." ^^;

The woman nods, flinching and chuckling slightly as Silver greets her, then takes the plant and argues with it slightly.

Zoe watches, and then buys the blanket rack. The plant is parked back onto it, and then the woman smiles at Swindle and carries her 'parcel' off through the crowd.

Well, at least that annoying plant was away from him. Swindle relaxed and gave the others a wide grin. "A pleasure doing business with you." Swindle says, then gives Zoe a 'So, what do you want to do now?' look.

Jon bows and smiles, then makes his own way through the crowd, while Malachi's family just smiles and nods.

Zoe smiles, and then looks up as the sound of what seem to be guns comes from the distance.

Gunshots? Swindle looks up and over in the direction the sound was made. It wasn't made by any weapon he knew anything about...or at least anything in great detail like the stuff he normally sold. "Did you hear that?" Swindle asks Zoe.

[random_xtras]

"Yes." She packs the blankets away in her cockpit. "Thumpers. The Watch is shooting Tigerbats."

-Shoot big fuzzy rowers! >:D-

"Ahhh...." Swindle replies, then chuckles at Silver's reaction. "I'd not heard weapon fire quite like that before..."

[random_xtras]

"They use some sort of compressed gas to fire either bullets or little bombs. It sounds like they're using the bombs right now." Zoe quirks a grin at her daughter's excitement as she leads the way through the crowds, Dalla's servants staying a discrete distance behind she and Swindle.

"Interesting," Swindle says as he follows Zoe, eyes wide for anything of interest.

[random_xtras]

She nods absently as she pauses to examine some lengths of wide iridescent ribbon. There aren't really any weapons on display, but there is everything one could imagine and expect from a largely pre-electronics culture.

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

There's a small 'Random would like that' that goes through his head at the sight of that ribbon, but then remembered that Blitzwing was upset and probably mad at him.

Then thought, perhaps something to appease him. But what would appease all three at once?

"Zoe...you know of anything Blitzwing would like? I mean, all of them?" Swindle asks as he continues to look.
