Dan exited the hotel and looked around him. It was still early, but people were already milling about, vendors setting up to sell for the day, and even one or two kids chasing each other around with sticks. Focusing about the task at hand, he started walking briskly through Hub. Caps and adventure were foremost in his mind as he strode quickly past various buildings. He wanted to find Blunt before she left town. He rounded the corner of a ruined building, Madison's bar front came into view, and he came to an abrupt stop in his tracks. Standing about two buildings away from him in front of the bar was Blunt, and she wasn't alone either. Far from being alone, in fact. She was a top of a rock in the front yard of the bar, her faithful dog ever at her side. She was enjoying the company of another woman, 3 men, and a super mu-- [b]no.. wait..[/b] TWO super mutants. Seeing as how it did not look like she would be going anywhere soon, and even if she did, she wouldn't go unnoticed. He decided now would be a good time to see if the hat he wanted was still at the stall. 

Approaching the semi circle of stalls, he looked over at the stall he was interested in. Sure enough, the hat was hanging at about eye level on the side of the stall. Dan walked up to the stall and started asking about his wares. The shop keep, seeing a potential customer, started rattling off his top stocked items that any traveler would love. Dan could give a fuck less. Finally, the shop keep stopped and asked what Dan would like to purchase.

 "Well sir I came over today interested specifically in this hat but, now that I see closer I don't know if its a good purchase"

[indent]"nonsense this hat is an perfect purchase for you. And its only 100 caps!"[/indent]

"100!!!! That is a good deal..... For you. You think you can rip me off? I'll give you 15 caps for it."

[indent]"Now you are the one trying to rip ME off. You Will buy this hat for 80 caps or you will leave my stall."[/indent]

"And what if I offer my hat AND 20 caps? And that's me being generous!"

[indent]"Thats not fair at all! That hat is in poor condition it would take that hat and at least 50 caps to-----[/indent]

[b]"DEAL"[/b]

Dropping the 50 caps and old hat on the vendor's stall, Dan grabbed the new hat and walked away with a smirk, leaving the sputtering vendor to himself.

Donning his new Stormchaser Hat, he began walking back to where he had last seen Blunt.
