Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.
Unsure of what to expect, Xain walked into the Junk Dealer's... Office. After walking in and looking around, the robot was unsure of what to make of it. It was... Expressionless. Nothing anywhere besides heaps of junk. With a shudder at the blank thought, he went and set his items on a table. It wasn't much in the way of appearance, but it was certainly enough to earn him some money. After all, money was the reason he was here. He was going to need some money to pay for rent, buy upgrades, and get new games. Money was needed, but Xain waited patiently. It wouldn't do to rush.
Entering for the second time, Xain took another look around. He still wasn't sure as to why the salvage area was functioning or the reason, but he was willing to accept it as long as he was paid further.
He went back out of the area and grabbed his item for salvage- an engine that he had pilfered from a car. It didn't work, as certain components were missing; but he was confident that it would be acceptable. He wondered if anyone else had ever thought of doing such. He doubted it greatly, though, as most humans didn't have the will nor strength to carry around an entire engine.
the junk room had been filled further since the last time Xain had been within its walls. The robot marveled at everything that was being brought in. Still, he was here to cash in his items.
The robot wondered why he was here again. Was it simply because he required the funds provided here? Was it something different, something he didn't fully comprehend? Was it something simple, such as wanting a routine? It didn't really matter, as it made no difference. The only thing that concerned him currently was receiving his funds. He waited patiently for the money to be offered.
Xain entered the junk room for yet another time. He was unsure of why the service was being run, but he wasn't going to refuse funds. That said, he brought in the items that he had pulled from the Shadow infested areas.
Nothing was of great value, but he brought enough that it should make up for it. He knew that he wouldn't really receive a tremendous sum, and he was fine with that. Getting any money was enough for him. That being said, the robot6 was waiting to acquire his income. He thought, not for the first time, that it served no real purpose for the blond woman to be running this.
Xain looked around. So many things here could be made into an upgrade for him, and the android wondered if stealing from here was possible. He quickly dismissed the idea as foolish; after all, he was one of the people giving away the items. If he really needed the objects so bad, he wouldn't be here to sell some more.
He smiled slightly at the ideas emerging within him. They were horrible, yes, but they did one thing for the robot- they helped him make sure that he wasn't slipping too badly. He had encountered insanity from constant exposure to shadows many times.
He was glad that the ideas were only mildly idiotic and naive, and that he didn't go so far as to actually start planning a raid on the salvage area.
