Saturday Morning, Detention--Danger Shop

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

In a surprisingly neat hand, the following list had been posted to the door:

Detention: Saturday, February 23

Eve Levine
John Sheppard
Karal Austreben
Liir Thropp
Teyla Emmagan
Yasutora "Chad" Sado

Vala was grinning as they entered, then locked the door behind them. "Good morning, my minions. Welcome to a life of freedom and debauchery, at least until lunch, when you return to your normal everyday routines, which anywhere other than Fandom would be quite dull."

Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Oops! Turns out you've been followed and need to get rid of the booty.

Luckily, there is a very attractive woman in black leather who will be ecstatic to take it off your hands for you.

For a price.

Bargain away!

Karal, curls sproinging like crazy after getting wet in the drizzle, leather pants squeaking slightly, arms full of booty, stumbled slightly when he saw Vala. "I suspect that you might be interested in my booty."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

Vala almost responded that it was against the regulations, no matter how his booty looked in wet leather, when she remembered who she was talking to.

"What kind of booty do you have?"

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"It seems to be gold." He opened his arms as much as he could without dropping it all, to reveal some gold bars and assorted shiny things. "And some jewels. None of it's broken, I think. Do you want me to shake it to be sure?"

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

He was entirely too innocent to walk around free, that was all there was to it, she decided. "Yes, I believe that would be best."

Karal nodded and cheerfully started shaking his booty for Vala. It was enthusiastic shaking, and showed off his booty to its best advantage.

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Ah, nothing like well-appointed booty in the hands of an innocent. "Do you have proof of ownership?"

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal pretended to be shocked. "Now, what would I be doing with my arms full of someone else's booty?" he asked, actually managing to sound a little hurt. "The only booty I would ever attempt to sell would be my own."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

That was a very nice touch, and one that she appreciated. "I'm just supposed to take your word that your booty is everything you say it is? Now, what kind of a merchant would I be if I didn't approve your booty personally?"

She motioned for him to put his booty on the table.

Chad was...admittedly, a little confused. This was not a rare occasion, of course, but he was slowly coming around to the realization that he had something and it would be in his best interests to not have something. He scratched the back of his head with one hand as his other one held the chest tucked under his arm. One of the swords, which he hadn't used, but had taken, was forgotten at his waist. You see, at the time, he thought it made him look a little dashing, but he'd completely ignored it since them.

"Um, hey. Want to help take this chest off my hands?"

Chad was not much of a bargainer. Not with anything that didn't involve music.

Vala had given up volunteer work a while ago. "What's in it for me?"

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Well," Chad said, head tilting, "you get this...cool...chest. Full of stuff. It's kinda heavy, but how many people can say, 'hey. I've got a cool chest. Full of stuff?"

He didn't think many people could, but it was just an assumption.

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"I can," she nodded. "They've got their own room and everything."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"A collector, then," Chad nodded. "Good. You can add this one."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Why should I take yours? It could be of inferiour quality, and besides, I can't carry it."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Because...."

Chad wasn't sure; nor was he a quick thinker. So a moment passed by.

"...you don't know that it's inferiour quality," he pointed out and then, he shifted a little to allow him to hold it out to her. "Here. See for yourself. It's not that heavy" -- as if he was anyone to be able to effective compare weights here-- "Give it a good look yourself."

Vala opened the lid and hmmmed at what she found inside. "I don't know. Maybe if you threw in that sword you were wearing..."

"You here to help carry my loot?" John said, grinning at Vala.

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

She shook her head, grinning back. "Nope. I'm here to get it off your hands."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"But I like it," he replied, a little sadly. "How 'bout I give you the leather outfit back instead?

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"I have several of my own already, but I don't have whatever it is that you're carrying."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"What are you willing to give me for my gold?" John asked curiously.

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Wow, he really was new to negotiating. "The way this works is," she explained helpfully, "is you set a price, and I tell you whether or not I'll meet it. Trust me, it's more important that you not get caught with the gold."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Okay, how about a nice cargo ship?" John asked. "That's something I could use."

Re: Earn a Living--Part III

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

She threw her head back in laughter. "Good. You've kept your sense of humor."
