Fantastical and Exciting Adventures in SPAAAACE!: THE ADVENTURE

Welcome to space, sir Robo. I look forward to playing with ya.

Uuuhg... I didn't think 7 AM existed... or 8 AM.

"Yes, well, I'm sure all sorts of people like to partake. Even the straight-laced." Serenity smiles softly and touches the fingers of her right hand around her right collar bone. "Even someone like me." She remains where she was for a moment, watching the shopkeeper stride away. Her feet move to follow but stop suddenly, her attention turning to a source beyond the shop. Something had released a large amount of energy nearby... She relays another message back to her ship, bidding her A.I. to investigate, then proceeds to follow the shop keep to the back. As she passes the drum, she eyes it cautiously. Whatever was within could have been dangerous, she should be careful.

"Oooh, don't tell me there's a..." secret compartment behind the bookshelf. She giggles softly to herself, shaking her head. "That's quite cliche, if so. Tastefully so."

So he knew what it was. She was hoping she'd be able to luck out, and he'd just sell it to her as a necklace. Well, no matter. She'd have to analyze the paw later, but for now... the shopkeep was speaking to her. "Something else I would be interested in buying? Hmm..." She considers the question, glancing briefly around the shop at the various goods. Ah... "You carry Nostrop Oil, and the smell of incense is rather intense, isn't it? I wonder... you wouldn't happen to have any trade with the Teladi, would you? There's a particular product they're known for that I'd be interested in. You wouldn't happen to have trade in that, would you?"

X3: Albion Prelude is an improved version of Terran Conflict. If you're going to go backward in the series, X2 is about as far as I'd go. You lose too many convenient things going past that one.

I dunno how I feel about X: Rebirth, their newest game. I need to play it more.

The smell was pretty strong in here, too. Probably to beat down the scent of a bunch of weird stuff, but it was still an overpower array of scents. This is one of the shadier thrift stores I've ever been in, certainly... She clearly underestimated how sketchy this place could get, her eyes glancing around the store. She might have been better served by scoping out a pawn shop, but she could go to a place like that later. She gave a little jump as the thrift shop owner swat the drum full of... something... with a metal rod. "Oh, my..." She frowns softly, approaching the counter at the front and facing the owner.

Quite the creature. A split jaw, and a prehensile head tendril. Not exactly a pleasant appearance, but he fit in well enough with the shop. What drew her attention was the cloak. Glowing runes? Runes, now... really. "Might you interest me? Well, I suppose there are a couple things that have caught my eye... that necklace there. Your cloak is certainly an interesting garment, though I would understand if you don't want to part with it. I still want to know about it, though. And... er... might I ask what's in the drum...?" She had the feeling that it was something... of ill repute.

Uh huh. Play any other Egosoft games?

Bleach: A New Dawn

"Thank you, Xor." She smiles as she passes the crystaline man. She always thought they were interesting creatures...

She casts her attention about, as so many people vie for it. Souvenir shops? Hardly. Her ear twitched as she heard the scent seller's pitch, but she disregarded it. She had more than enough incense on her ship. Now, what she /would/ look for is space weed. Not illegal... not out /here/, anyway. The Teladi must have had trade in that here. No way they couldn't, there was too much profit to be had. Her eyes glow softly as she uses her power to send a wireless message back to her ship, and the AI therein. Lumina would find it, maybe even have it delivered to her.

She stopped by a thrift store, to see if she could find any really old things, and afterward, to the casino! Roulette's a fun one. So is blackjack...

"Oooh, it's lucky I ate before I came down, or this'd be a really good trap." She giggled softly to herself before turning to disembark. Serenity didn't get very far, before a Gemite stopped her. Seemed like he was on security detail for new guests...? Perhaps she was picked out because she looked wealthy and would need extra potection. "I'm here on vacation, Xor. At the moment, I'd be interested in gambling. Aah... looks like that would be that way, yes?" She started to walk past the Gemite (there would be plenty of time to get her to stop and wait for whatever reason), low-heeled shoes clacking against the ground. High heels are dumb, especially stiletto heels. The base is too narrow, which creates instability above.

That's just how an engineer's head works.
