05 :: shopping list

[stonewave]

Still new to this Scavenging stuff and I know there's already a list down here of stuff people want.

Anybody got anything they want me to keep an eye out for anyway?

Are corkscrews and bottle openers on the list?

[stonewave]

They already got a pretty long list, so who knows. I watch for em while I'm down there if you want.

[crimson_seeker]

It depends. Could you find me a proper abacus?

[stonewave]

[There's a bit of tapping and a few short starts that are scribbled entirely illegible.]

You got a picture?

[crimson_seeker]

A counting frame, suànpán. It's a flat wooden box with round rods attached to the frame, and holed beads that can be slid along the rods.

[The drawing appears slowly, but with evident care.]

[stonewave]

...That's a pretty good picture. Might come across some of those rods or beads, but havent seen anything wood down here yet. Mostly plastic and metal and shit. I'll keep an eye out for the rods and beads, though.

I'm looking for a headset, but it's very specific. I can draw it for you if you'd like, or come down to help look for it.

[stonewave]

That important, probably best if I help instead of trying to find it solo. But you can count on me!

[moe_rapier]

Okay. I'll come by later and we'll see what we can find.

[stonewave]

Not gonna learn unless I look for it, right?

[kamishininoyari]

You seem to be enjoying digging through all that junk. :)

[stonewave]

...It's a job. Better'n mooching offa somebody.

Make sure to pick up anything interesting, even if it's not on the list! Sometimes you can find some pretty neat junk down there.

[stonewave]

Eh... Pretty sure Smoke wouldn't want me bringing all that 'pretty neat junk' back up where we sleep. There anyplace down there to kinda sort stuff out?

[longnosedliar]

Not really. I guess you could make a little pile of your own and label it, but that won't guarantee anybody from taking it.

[stonewave]

Need lockers or something down here then. Not everybody's got a bunch of room to store crap. Just a place to put odds and ends without tossing em or losing 'em.
