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.

Alouette had come to learn that there was a woman who bought junk from the outer circle for quite a good deal. Now wasn't that convenient? She had a way to sustain herself now. The young girl was worried that she might run out of money in her home, meaning that she would literally have to start "living off the land." Getting a job? Too much work, not enough free time. But this allowed her to look for her father while still turning a survivable profit.
Today was her first turn in. Let's just say she had quite a few items of odd interest. Large amounts of prescription drugs that the girl -apparently- had sufficient knowledge of; even going as far to note their worth and uses. The second have of her load consisted of ammunition. It was assault rifle ammunition, of course. Something that she couldn't use. "So, why not sell it?" was her next thought.
Dumping her load all over the table, Ally let the woman take a nice long look at everything she presented.

Another round of useless junk to haul in to the strange woman's house, it seemed. Ally didn't really mind doing such odd work since it paid for her living expenses. Besides, it didn't cut into her regularly scheduled time frame. If she was going to go out and fight shadows already, why not pick up a couple piles of crap along the way? That was her mentality at least. The biggest issue she had was lugging all of the junk around. As someone who relied heavily on running and dodging tactics, a lot of weigh was never a good thing. Especially in combat.
So when the girl had another opportunity to drop her load for the strange blonde woman, she was more than relieved. Hopefully she would like what she got. Ally really needed the money now.

Ally had prepared a special selection of items for the strange blonde woman today. Hopefully the woman would find them interesting enough to give her a generous payment. Her haul for the day consisted mainly of chemicals found in the hospital. Expensive chemicals, at that. Ally had hoped the woman knew a bit about chemistry considering the value of the items that she had with her. She carefully placed each container down for appraisal. Many of them were in small vials while a few were in large cans of sorts. She figured this kind of salvaging would probably be best suited for her, since most people probably didn't know their oxocarbons.

Another week dedicated to scouring the outskirts of the city for some trace of her father. Another week with no progress. Alouette was getting desperate for some sort of clue, but each day the searches turned up little more than nothing. To make matters worse, she had to maintain her lifestyle by pawning off stuff found in the outer circle. She had no moral qualms about the idea, but needing to do simply to sustain herself wasn't exactly an ideal situation.
This week she had a large quantity of items found in the outskirts of the city rather than the main section. Her search of the main parts of the city weren't turning up much these days. Hence, with her focus on the outer edges of the circle, she had to manage her time effectively by collecting valuables around that area. This week, the girl presented another load of items for the woman to appraise. She hoped for a bit more this time around seeing as she was starting to get pretty tight on money.

After an extermination trip in the abandoned car factory, Ally decided to make a pure scavenging run in there a little later. The last time she was there, she failed to pick up a good deal of the containers that had anything worth salvaging. But this time, the girl had a secret weapon. A little red wagon.
Yes, the girl had begun loading her findings onto a wagon due to her lack of upper body strength. Was it silly? It may have looked like it, but it certainly worked. The only issue the girl had was depending the cart from various shadows that roamed the western city. When she finally made it to the blonde woman though, the girl was quite happy. She had a whole cart full of things to sell. With a grin, the girl let the woman buy each item off her cart, one by one.

With another return trip to The Gap, Alouette had prepared another load of interesting wares. Once again, she had mostly technical and chemical-related items; some fragile, some impossible to break. The girl always took care in labeling what was what before she arrived to make the appraisal process go along faster. Though, this woman was rather quick with her appraisals regardless of what the items in question were. Maybe she was some sort of financial genius? Either that, or she just had so much money to throw around that she actually didn't bother appraising anything at all and simply handed out money to people for whatever they gave her. The latter idea was a scary one.

Ally was sporting her usual red wagon as she rolled up to The Gap for her weekly meeting with the blonde woman. Again, she had various car parts and canisters of oil. Honestly, the girl must have brought along some of the weirdest stuff to the woman. She started off basic, went to strange and obscure drugs, to miscellaneous car parts. At the very least, she was in the running for most variety. Just what could she add to her list of things? She couldn't be sure just yet.
Silly thoughts aside, the girl presented her junk to the woman, for which she was paid. And all was well with the world.

Ally entered The Gap, sporting her big red wagon full of goodies that she had found over the past week. Again, the majority of these items were found in the upper floors of the hospital. Most of them were drugs and pain suppressants as well as a few bits of sensitive medical equipment. Ally knew just what to grab when she was up there, of course.
She took her time placing everything up on the counter for the woman to appraise. She knew that she was getting quite a bit for this load; significantly more than her past two. It was as if her loads each week were becoming larger; more vigorous. They were higher in volume as well as in quality. With everything presented, Ally took her pay and left, still sporting that red wagon.
