POURING AT THE SEAMS --- open, shopping trip

[capt. salem]

AND CHANCES ARE, THEY WON'T GO FAR | | |

Ah, it was time for his bi-weekly trip to the merchant camp thirty-odd miles south down the shore. Bags were packed, mind was steady and he was feeling pretty damn chipper. He'd even gotten up at the break of dawn since he hadn't gotten drunk or even touched a bottle of alcohol the previous day. Sure, he was itching for a drink, but he needed to keep his wits about him right now.

"Hey, I'm heading to my suppliers. Anybody got anything they want picked up or bought?" Salem called out, peeking into the casino where he knew most people would be congregated. "I can't bring any of you with me for confidentiality purposes, but I can bring back weapons, supplies, whatever. You've just gotta pay me back for it later down the road." What? He wasn't a charity; he was already doing a service by announcing his little shopping trip and letting people make requests.

[align=center][div style="width: 390px; text-align: justify;"]tinny was slowly going through books at the library in the city, but the more he read, the more he ran into something boring or that he’d already read. when he heard about a shopping trip, however, he felt that this might be the perfect opportunity. he had scribbled down a few books- catcher in the rye, fahrenheit, a few other classic books he hadn’t read- and rushed over to salem with a smile. “h-hey! can.. c-can you see if you can find any of these? i-iii’ll try and pay you back if you do!” tinny offered, holding the folded paper out to the other. “its all jjjj-just books.”

— should the redhead even question salem and his antics at this point? he lifted his gaze from the pool table to where salem stood at the front of the casino. the fuck was he up to, now? the man always seemed to have a plan ahead of him; addy couldn’t decide if that was a good thing or if the man really was just losing his mind at this point. still, he made the offer.. and while it was a somewhat shifty one, the redhead still had to admit having a few more weapons to choose from wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

“bring some weapons back with you,” he called, grip tightening back on the pool cue as he shifted slightly. “i’d pick a few out.” he wasn’t specific on which kind he wanted. surprise him, he guessed.

Much like Addy, Cat was past the point of trying to question Salem's antics. There was no point - he was gonna do what he was going to do, and he seemed smart enough to have everything under relative control. Relative. "If you see something that makes you think of me, bring it, otherwise don't bother." They had just about anything they needed, anything that they didn't have they could just get themself. Cut out the middle man, as it were, and carry on without owing anyone.

Okay, the first request was just cute. And who was Salem to stop Tinny from enjoying the classics? Unlike Addy, it seemed like this kid had some fucking taste. "I'll see what I can do, you've picked a good list." Salem said, plucking the folded paper out of Tinny's hand and slipping it into a pocket.

Next was Addy, completely unphased by Salem's antics; this was an objectively good thing for Salem, since it meant Addy wasn't going to get in his way and might actually enjoy the antics for once. "You could be more specific, but I'll get a variety for you." Salem said with a shrug. He'd just keep the rest-

Shit, parent caught him scheming. But it didn't seem like Cat gave a shit about Salem sharing extra stuff with the rest of the group, so that was a plus. "If I see a pillow embroidered with "fuck" on it, I'll be sure to pick it up for you." Salem teased lightly, before turning to check and see if anybody else had requests.

    tw. implied sourcing of drugs for personal use.

Of course,‌ Lucerne had found himself sat in the Casino once more, after having been bundled away in his home like the chronic recluse he was. But, he actually had things he needed to do, plus the change of scenery away from his home was… pleasant. Head darted up from where it’d been resting whilst he read from a non-fiction book. Salem was offering to bring back supplies from some supplier. Brows knitted together, and Lucerne slowly closed his book and put it aside before standing up and making his way over to a small group requesting certain things.

❝ I‌ need a plain notebook. ❞ He pointed out carefully as he stared across at Salem, avoiding any glance towards any of the others. ❝ … And -uh- and morphine. If they have… For the first aid… thing. ❞ He stumbled over words, gesturing weakly in no direction in particular before averting his gaze. Nobody would suspect Lucerne, nor would they even care about him - apart from Addy, perhaps - but he had no business with Lucerne anymore.

Time to take a page out of Creed's book and give Salem some finger guns. They sort of hoped he did find a pillow with "fuck" embroidered on it, because that'd be hilarious. Even if they did owe him after that, ew. "Well said, doc." They said sarcastically, rolling their eyes. Yep, it was definitely for first aid. Totally.

And here comes doc, awesome. Plain notebook and morphine? Easily done, if his suppliers couldn't get a hold of drugs and dead tree products then nobody could. "Sure, notebook might be tough but I'll see what I can do about that and the morphine." Who was he to judge Lucerne's request? Lucerne was pretty much the only person in the group Salem could confidently say wasn't abusing drugs, he was a doctor after all.

"Well if that's everybody, I'll see you bitches in a few days. Try not to miss me too much." Salem said, waving as he popped back out of the casino and then hurriedly wrote down everybody's requests. This would be a fun trip.

//Aight, thread's p much over so? I'll put up the thread of his return w/ the goods in a few days so everybody can get their Stuff. I'll tag everybody so dw about missing it.
Okie gonna lock this now~
