Insert "One Man's Trash" Reference (Salvage)

[Setsuna Hanamori]

So, apparently, if you went into the area beyond the quarantine and collected random junk to turn in to the strange blonde lady who ran the safe area, she'd give you money for it. Why? Hell if Setsuna knew, but why they hell not? Setsuna could always use a little extra money. Of course, the one who told her about this was a bit vague on their definition of "junk", but when she thought of "junk", she immediately thought of "electronics store". Because fewer things were ever considered junk than broken electronics, and Setsuna would be very surprised to see any electronics out here that were actually in working order. Thus, she looked for anything that looked like it might have been an electronics store.

Once she found one, she stepped inside. Apparently, she wasn't the only one who thought to come out here, because the place looked as though it had been ransacked a couple times. Unless that was just the Shadows wrecking the place. Either way, there was still plenty of "junk" to choose from. Radios, remotes, even small TVs and portable DVD player. All completely ruined, of course, which was sad because she wouldn't have minded having a few of these things. Even if she did know someone who could fix these sorts of things, she'd have a hell of a time explaining where and how she got them, not to mention why they were in such horrible shape to begin with. Letting out a sigh at the waste, Setsuna just shook her head. Best not to think about it.

She she brought a medium-sized cloth bag with her, something she usually used for shopping, but it would serve its purpose here as well. Thus, she began loading it with multiple small but expensive electronics. She also noticed some random scraps of metal and plastic...eh, why the hell not? She'll throw those in too. It didn't take long before the sack was stuffed full. Hopeful that this would be good enough, Setsuna made her way back to The Gap, approaching the strange blonde lady and presenting her with the sack full of random junk "Excuse me, I heard you're looking for people to bring you random junk...so...um...here. I hope this will be of use to you."

"...oh, and if it's not too much trouble, could I have that sack back?"

[Erithania]

You want the sack back?



Would you like flapjacks with that?

[Setsuna Hanamori]

Setsuna was out here once again, looking for random trash to collect and sell it to the strange woman running The Gap. Sadly, the electronics store she went to the first time had been stripped bare since the last time she had gone, so she was stuck looking for a different place to search. Then it hit her. The car factory she had gone to not long ago. As far as she could remember, that place was littered with scraps of metal and various small car parts...oh, but then again, she might run into more Shadows there. She debated on it for a bit, but ultimately decided that anything she might find there would be worth the risk. Hopefully, she wouldn't be there for long.

As such, she set off for the abandoned car factory. Once she arrived, she peeked inside the main entrance to ensure that there weren't any Shadows nearby. Once she confirmed that there wasn't she nodded and slipped inside. From there, she could see all sorts of awesome things with her. Readying her trusty shopping bag, she got to work. First, she picked up as many of the metal scraps she could find, then went on to other things. Like shards of glass and small engine parts. Ultimately, it was hard for her to feel too bad about this place, unlike when she went to the electronics store. She never really cared about cars all that much, so, all she could do was mentally shrug when she thought about it.

Either way, like before, it didn't take long for her to fill the bag up until nothing else would fit into it. She also started hearing some Shadows shuffling from not too far away, so she immediately took that as her cue to get the hell out of there. It was close, but she got away unnoticed. From there, it was simply a matter of getting back to The Gap. The trip back was uneventful, thankfully. Thus, she approached the counter, placing the bag on it. "Excuse me. I wanted to see if there was anything you could use in here."

Here she was again, out to collect junk to sell to the lady running The Gap. She still wasn't sure exactly what she needed with it, let alone why she was willing to pay for it. Frankly, there was a small part of her that was also pretty sure she probably didn't want to know. That woman was so shrouded in mysteries it was all but impossible to try and fathom what she was up to on her off time. Assuming she ever had any off time in the first place. The more Setsuna tried to convince herself it was probably for the best that she didn't know, the more she found herself curious about the woman. Needless to say, this was quite annoying.

Either way, with her sack ready, she set off. This time, she headed what appeared to have once been a used game store. In fact, now that she thought about it, she was pretty sure she had been here once or twice in the short time that this area of the city wasn't a desolate and depressing wasteland crawling with evil creatures. Again, she found herself lamenting the condition of everything in there. Being sealed up in cardboard boxes and packing foam did nothing to prevent any damages to the console systems, and the game discs were pretty much eroded to the point of crumbling to pieces on touch. Ugh...this was such a waste. It killed her seeing all of this the way it was.

Either way, she had her usual bag with her, and filled it with what she could find. Game systems, game cases, and other various unidentifiable scraps of glass and plastic. Her heart broke when she saw copies of games she had been wanting to play. Not that she would have stolen them if they still worked, but still. Just seeing them in this shape was more than she could handle. Either way, she headed back once the sack was full, and presented it to the lady. "Hello, ma'am. It's me again. I have some more junk if there's anything in here that you can use."

Another day, another trip beyond the border to collect random jump for a woman that Setsuna had quite frankly stopped trying to figure out a while ago. With what little she was able to learn about the woman, it seemed to open up even more mysteries. Setsuna was just done. She was still curious, naturally, but, in the end, it just wasn't really worth the effort it was taking to learn about this person. Either way, here she was again, her grocery sack ready as she started to search for more junk to bring back. This time around, she didn't really have anywhere specific in mind. Instead, she opted to simply move around what used to be a city block and grab whatever she could find.

She knew it might take a bit longer, since the junk was scattered out a bit more than it was inside actual buildings. But she hoped maybe she'd be able to find a wider variety of junk. Not that she was sure whether that would make any sort of difference, but she figured it could hurt. As such, she went down the block, picking up whatever junk she find. If any of the buildings looked like they had anything inside them, she'd duck inside and pick up what she could before alerting any nearby Shadows, then duck back out. As predicted, it ended up taking a bit longer, but it paid off. She was able to fill her sack with more than just the same junk, and since most of it was in small pieces, she was able to fit more into it. 

With a nod, she looked around, noticing that the Shadows wandering around were starting to grow in number. If this kept up, a battle would be unavoidable. As such, she decided to call it a day and head back. Placing her bag on the woman's counter, she called out "Excuse me, ma'am, but I've got some junk to sell if you're interested." If there was one thing she didn't like about this whole thing, it was how used to all of it she was becoming; like this was just part of a daily routine for her. It was enough to make the girl wonder if she'd ever have anything resembling a "normal" life again,

What am I going to do with all this junk?

Oh never mind. Have some money.

[Setsuna Hanamori]

Welp...here she was again. With her bag in hand, she was once again prepared to collect junk for the woman who ran the gap. Before, she had been curious about about what she could possibly need with all of this. But now, she just sorta stopped caring. Whatever the woman did with all this junk was her business. Hell, for all Setsuna would care, she could be going around and spreading the junk back around the various locations, and could just be getting shits and giggles watching people wander around to pick up trash. Actually, the more she thought about that, the less it would surprise her if it actually ended up being true. Honestly, she didn't care though. She was just wanted to get paid.

Like last time, she decided to just wander through a general area and pick up whatever she found laying around. It took longer, which kinda sucked, but she ran less of a risk of running into Shadows than she did when she went into a single shop or building. Either way, despite how look it took, she was able to fill the bag with little effort, until it was full to the brim with random junk. Satisfied with what she had managed to collect, she quickly headed on her way back to trade the junk in. Frankly, it annoyed her that she had gotten so used to this, but, at this point, there was little point in trying to fight it. Thus, she placed the bag on the counter. "Hey, I've got some more stuff."

[Setsuna Hanamori]

Yep, here she was again, gathering random junk and giving it to the strange woman so she could make a little extra money. She couldn't help but be a little annoyed at how routine this whole thing had become, yet she was so used to all of it that, when everything was said and done, she could barely bring herself to care anymore. Setsuna found that it was easier to just go with the flow and not question everything, regardless of how little sense any of it made. Considering that barely anything in this place made sense, that was kind of saying a lot.

No matter. One again, she had her bag ready and she decided to stick to her tried and true strategy of searching around at random and filling her bag with whatever she could find. Once again, it took a little longer than she would have liked, but she didn't risk running into Shadows as much, which was more than worth the extra time in her opinion. Either way, once she was content with what she collected, she headed back to the woman to trade the junk in. Another job well done.
