Val checked her satchel bag, "Food's running a bit low..." she thought to herself.
She had enough to get her through today but then she was definitely going to need to find some scraps.
Valeria let out a long slow breath. She hadn't had time to scavenge for food today but she had been able to locate both of Vester's pods and deactivate one.
"But," she looked in the direction of the second pod and noticed the peacekeeper patrolling the area, "someone else is going to have to take care of those two..."
Right now, though, she needed to relax. It was a lot quieter than it had been the last two days but hopefully the other people in the market knew how to hold a decent conversation.
Valeria took today's ration out of her bag and began to chow down while waiting to see if anyone else would stop to chat.

Nelson walked over to Val, grinning wide at seeing the girl come back to the Market, "Aw, did you miss this dump?" he flopped down next to her and began picking at some of the rocks around them. "Because boy, what a day we had....how's everyone else? Fine, I hope."
Nelson wanted to help in the best way that he could, but between the pods, the peacekeeper, and scavenging, it was getting harder and harder to assure himself that he was going to be fine. Every corner seemed to have a new challenge,
"By the way, I think you just pretty much saved all our skins. So thanks for that."

She smiled back at Nelson who was approaching her with a huge grin. "yeah this place has a certain," she kicked at a rat trying to abscond with a spoiled pastry, "...charm."
Val leaned back to look at the deceptively peaceful looking sky above. "Don't worry about it," she added, "I was saving my own skin as well."
She glanced towards the watchtower, "besides," Val grinned, "I have a date I have to make tomorrow."

Sydney wandered over to them with a small smile on her face. "Well done, the lot of you. We'll at least...try to live through the day at least," she commented as she sat down, leaning against the boards holding up a stand. "Such a bummer a lot here is actually inedible."

"There's still a few scraps around here," she said scanning the market, "so once we have the pods taken care of make sure you're well fed."
She frowned, "That said the muttation will hurt you a lot more than hunger pains will. So make sure you take care of the reamaining pod before your stomach."

"OH SHUT UP SYD. Val was about to give me some JUICY details on her hot date." Nelson winked at her before rolling over, "A hot date? How is it everyone in this arena is getting it in?" he wondered allowed, "Because this seems like the last place you'd...you know, find someone to tango with."
"If only we could kill the mutt and then eat it. That would solve our problems IMMENSELY." Nelson flopped over.

Sydney just laughed at Nelson as he dramatically flopped around in the dirt. "One, you're getting your bloody shirt dirty and two, you can't get it in so you have to live through Val which is honestly hysterical," she settled into her spot and looked at Val. "You excited?"

"I'd rather deactivate the pod before that muttation can even get out," she laughed playfully smacking Nelson on the back.
"And as for your other problem," she motioned to Syd and Holly, "I was in the watchtower with these two yesterday and from what I can tell they are completely single."
Valeria turned to look in Minerva's direction, "She was there too but she didn't really interact with us. Seem's kinda shy if that's your type."
"That's three," she grinned, "So turn on that charm of yours."
"As for me and my excitement," she added, "a lot happened yesterday so ask away!"

Nelson glared at Syd, "Okay ONE. I've been in this shirt for a week straight. Not much else can happen. And TWO, shut up."
"Yeah but can't we just like...kill it in the pod then open the pod when it's dead???" Nelson shrugged, "I mean--I'd eat it."
Nelson grinned, "Ladies, you may form an orderly queue. I promise to give everyone a fair chance so long as you don't try to kill me. Or take my food. Or insult my haircut. But other than that, everything is fair game."

"Oh man its only gonna be seconds until they are all over you Nelson," Val laughed. She turned to look at the peacekeeper, "Are you sure your boyfriend won't get jealous?" "So I know some of you need food but we need to figure out who is going to hack the Market now," Val whispered to Syd, Holly, Nelson, and Wallace.
"Minerva and Harlie are confirmed peacekeepers," she continued, "and now that they know the threat of the pods in neutralized they'll hack the market for sure."
"I know some of you NEED food and Syd and I are useless to you as far as hacking goes due to us being PeaceBringers," she sighed, "but if we can keep three points today and tomorrow we'll have brought down the defenses."
"So who if you NEED food lets talk about it but all available actions should be used to hack this place for the rebels." she finished. |

"I've been ready for this moment. Come to me! I promise, I will be what you want! Do with me what you will---unless you are the Peacekeeper. Sorry, my boy gets to cut to the front of the line to get at this. God knows he wants it. His way of flirting involves attacking me." "The long and short is this--if I don't get food today, I'm gone. Like a candle in the wind next to Demetri. I know it puts you guys in the position of having to bail me out but that's where I am. I already scavenged once and attacked the Peacekeeper but I can use my last to hack. I'm hoping Wallace will come through with the Hacking, he seems to be pretty good at it."
"....I could shoot 'em." Nelson tried to make a subtle gesture to the two peacekeepers. "I was saving this bullet for Sharlot but I'm guessing I won't be making it to fight her again." |

"ONE, They'll only be all over him if he showers. Honestly. I'm saying this as an honest friend because you smell like a dumpster of iron right now," Syd commented as she patted him on the shoulder. "And TWO, your haircut makes you look like a toe." "Oh no, they're destined for each other. Nelson's about to make it...eternal." "I still have an energy pill, I can make one move for food if we need it. Nelson probably needs to finish things off with his forever girl over there so that's an action...but are you willing to hack?" she asked him, looking at him seriously for the first time since they got there, pausing a moment before sighing,
"God, I can't wait until they execute me for treason after this." |

"Wellp!" chimed Val, "We need to find him a way to take a shower today!" She laughed, "You wouldn't want such a cute boy to go to waste would ya?" "Let's all just wait until all of us chime in before we take any more actions," she added.
"We want to make sure that we maximize the balance between us all staying healthy and taking this point for the rebels." she said with determination.
"So," she said at last, "Who's good at hacking? |
