Popping up a heavy steel window on a large, mobile fortress of used-to-be-winnebago, you see a masked man wiping his brown with a red and white handkerchief. Now that mask, as it happens, is rather furry and attached to his face--so you could perhaps excuse him for wearing it. It's a warm day, sun reflecting off the metal canopy of the vehicle. It looks like it's been modified to be larger than normal. Also... you're pretty sure that might be a flux capacitor spinning about on the hood. Probably some nanotech engine powering this contraption. Probably. He starts to dusting off the "counterspace" as it were.

OF course a Coyote has to answer the call of getting rare and new trinkets! With all her freecreds in her account handy and no spending limit, she pads over to who she suspects is the merchant! She's bound to be the most underdressed person at the whole event, wearing a raggedy long skirt, handsewn out of scraps, and a blooded formerly-white, but now very dirty and dingy blouse. Flat-chested, short and thin, with scruffy fur, the coyote woman isn't much of a looker. Or maybe she is, with her unkempt and modest looks, so contrary to what most others appear as.

Having heard of a travelling salesman and finding it interesting in these dark times, Alkain wanders onto the lot where he heard that he was set up. He hmms? and blinks at the vehicle before he tilts his head curiously at it, "Nice car..." he smiles as he looks over the man and tilts his head, "You are the merchant right?" he's wearing some grey pants and that's about it

Softly glowing eyes regard the strange vehicle from the shadows, the twin lights flickering momentarily. Darkness pulls free of the surrounding shadow cast in shallow slices by ruinous buildings. Catlike, in more ways than one, Saide scurries across the road on all fours, large ears twisting curiously as she takes in all the noises eminating from within the vehicle. She leaves foot and handprints as she moves, though the marks are cleaner, rather than dirtier. Taking up a post at what she feels is a safe distance, she sits cross-legged and stares up at the man cleaning off the mobile home's 'display case.' Her tail flicks back and forth behind her, pecking at the ground to sweep up loose particles of dust.

The merchant looks over the "counter-top", which is similar to the sort you'd have seen on one of those taco trucks. Smiling broadly, he waves a hand--a bit of a padded paw. Mostly human, he seems to have a mix of ferret in there someplace. "Well hey-howdy! Now ya'll just caught me openin' up shop, I do hope yun'sll be kind enough to... Well here, let me get m'sign up, here." Ducking back behind the counter, he drags out a big sheet of plastic--about half the width of the window itself. Lifting one leg up over the counter at a time, he climbs over, dropping down in-between Alkain and Saide. "Here now, might you be so kind as to hold is here for me a moment?" Profering over the hunk of plastic behind him, holding it atop is back. "And could you tell me, have I made it as far as New Me-hi-co?"

Smokie watches the merchant, smiling to herself! That sure as hell is an accent she hasn't heard in forever, and with her sweetest southern drawl, the coyote woman so modestly dressed lets herself close to the group, and leans into him. "New Mexico, you say? Well, dear, you have only a bit of a ways to go! I do hope you haven't clean overshot it, though!"

There doesn't actually appear to be a display-case! Maybe he's not set it up yet?

Alkain blinks at the merchant and chuckles as he helps with the sign, "Um, New Mexico?" he shrugs and nods to the 'yote, "Yeah, it's not all that far... A state away really..." he has a more northern accent

Saide butts her head up under the sign, doing her best to prop it up atop head head - not that it does much good. The narrow sheet passes through her, leaving her staring blankly at the corner of the plastic wall. After establishing her relative unusefulness as a sign-holder, the inky feline scrambles around behind it to hang from the opening and look into the winnebago's interior. "What're ya sellin'? What're you buyin'? Can I buy that? The red one!" She points into the darkness at something within.

"OH! Well good! So wheresabouts is this? Arzona?" letting out a relieved sigh as Alkain takes the sign off his hands, "Thank'y kindly! Now, " turning and smiling as he wipes his brown, pocketing the little red and white rag down his collar. He stands about 5'6", dressed in a plaid coat and rugged jeans, a paid of snake-skin boots, and wearing a wide-brimmed brown cap. "I s'pose, so long as I'm here, ya'l might want a look at the merchandise, hmm?" Grinning broadly, "I'm sure I can satisfy all *sorts* of tastes, if ya'ns got things worth tradin'. Mosey on back with me, and I'll let ya take a look at the stock." As he waves you over, calling back, "Oh, an', ye can leave the sign there by the truck. Just prop it up by the window, ain't gonna hurt nuthin'."

"Name's Freddy! Friends just call me Fred, ye kin' call me what suits yuns so long as it's Freddy!" Making his way around to the back of the truck, towards a big heavy pair of padlocked steel doors.

Smokie shakes her head, laughing a little as she follows him. "No, darlin', you're around in California, actually! Though it sure feels like Arizona with this heat!" She follows him to the back of the truck, though stands wide from him. "Nice to meet you, Mister Fred. My name is Smokie."

Alkain hmms? as he is left with the sign and props it up as asked, "No problem." he nods at that and chuckles, "It's why I'm here." as he finishes propping it up, "And yes, California." he smiles and shrugs as he follows Freddy, "You can call me Alkain." he chuckles

The feline drops off the counter, following the 'crowd' as they make their way to the back. "Saide!" She scrambles about on all fours again, dashing around to sit at the far side of the back of the truck in her feline stance, acting as though she's been there the entire time.

Freddy digs around through his pockets for a key from a big ring. They all look relatively similar. He finds one, feeling them along the edges, and slips it into the lock on the door. Looking back, surprised, "California! Welllll now I never thought I'd get *that* lost! Hah! Idn't dis where ya'll got one of dem helicopters? Ain't seen one o' them in *years*, but you hear things, now..." Clicking the lock, as it slides down and open, the big steel door swinging out slowly. He reaches up, tugging at something just inside, pulling down a set of metal stairs leading their way up into the truck. Stepping his way up along inside, he calls down, "c'mon up, now. Have ya a look abouts at what I got, see what pleases ya! I'll just get the lights for yuns"

Freddy calls back, "I kin' take all *sorts* of things for trade, long as it's somethin' I can use or somethin' I can trade m'self o'course!"

Smokie of course, polite and there close, moves in at her invitation. Her tail wagging as she loves to see curious wares! "Yes, there are only a couple of those helicopters here, but it's been a very long time! Most of the agents here, well, they were born into this world like this..." She tilts her head at what he says, though. "Oh, a barter? Well, if only I had known, I would have brought some more stuff! I happen to be living in a whole warehouse of general store wares."

Alkain chuckles at Freddy and shrugs, "Yeah... Only a couple really." he hmms? at that and ponders, "I... Don't really have much in the way of things to trade... Mostly my equipment." he hmms some more as he heads into the truck and takes a look around

Saide peers in, resting her chin on the doorstep as the rest of the browsers step inside. The glow of her eyes is more visible while back-lit by the light outside, the two flickering circles scanning the interior for items of interest.

Fiddling in the dark, Freddy flips on some nanite-powered glow and illuminates the room in red. Above him, a disco-ball spins about slowly, sparkling the interior space with tiny spotlights that glimmer over the bars of cages. Coming on along with the lights is some smooth, and distinctly erotic jazz... Leopard-skin furnature studs the place up, with a variety of velvet and leather apparrels hung up about the room. "Equipment? Well that may work fine, 'course 'pens on what it does! Now then, what yer pleasure folks? I got all sorts of tastes, all sorts of pleasures." He smiles, as the light starts to adjust in your eyes, you notice a young bovine woman sleeping in the corner of one of the cages--dress up all in purple velvet, which seems to nicely suit her white and black spotted hair.

Smokie smiles a canid smile as she looks around the room, until she sees the caged bovine. She puts her paw to the collar of her blouse and tugs on it. "W-well..." She shivers some, trying to hide it. "I like clothes. I like jewelry." She says quickly.

Alkain looks at Freddy as he shields his eyes from the glare, "I have freecred too..." he ponders that a bit as he looks around but blinks as he spots the cow woman, "Err, what's she doing in there?" he asks curiously

The feline squirms her way in, squeezing past the others - losing her form to do so, if she must - and presses her face against the cage, smiling at the bovine. She need ask no questions, as they've all already been asked. She'd probably get her head through the bars, if not for the collar around her neck.

Freddy says, "I 'kin offer ya some time alone, here, or if yer' particularly fancyin' one o' the lasses, well then.. I can always make a consideration of partin' with one or two. If o'course the price is right." Finding himself a seat in a big, leopard-skinned chair. He looks up to Smokie, "Clothes an' jewelry? Now, I 'kin do that too, o'course! Feel free to have yuns a looksie. I gots some rather lovely apparels that just might suit yer fancy." Though in fact, it's not just the bovine woman. As you look around, you see he's got--just in this room--five cages in all. Four of those holding rather lovely women. A cow, a chicken, a siamese cat dressed in leather, and one woman who looks entirely human--dressed all in white. He looks to the cow-woman, as Alkain addresses her, "She? Haha! Well she's sleepin' it looks like. May-bell! Girls! c'mon, now, we got company! Look presentable!" The girls start to get themselves up, approaching the cages but not getting too close to the edges. All of them trying to look their most appealing. "Freddy..." the feline speaks up, "I want *that* one, Freddy.." pointing her finger towards the fellow feline, with her nose pressed up against the bovine's cage. The cow protests, "No no, Freddy, *I* want her! Oh please, Freddy... please?"

The chicken is dressed in red, making eyes at Alkain and Smokie, smiling seductively across her beak. The human woman, while trying to look attractive, doesn't seem to be begging so much with her voice. Her eyes say something else.

Smokie sniffs at the air, and her eyes tease side to side before she sighs softly. She just looks around, noticing the Chicken's eyes on her, but her interest... "Dear, Mister Fred, this is an opportunity. You know I do so love exotic forms, and being a Coyote, I love to play in the Chicken Coop. But you know, a human is so... RARE these days." Her eyes narrow as a coyote smile dons her muzzle. "Why is she still human?"

Alkain hmms as he eyes the human and looks to Smokie curiously, "Yes, they are rare... How long have you had her?" he seems genuninely curious as he walks over to her, "Hello there..." he smiles friendily

Saide swivels an ear as the other feline speaks up, flipping around to face her, though keeping herself pressed up against the bars of the bovine's enclosure. She grins, eyes brightening. "I'mmm popular!" She slides up, trying to bump her head against the cow to nuzzle through the bars.

The cow maiden smiles, but waves her finger at Saide, "naughty naughty... new free rides, here, suga'... But let's just say... Might be inclined to waive a bit o' my commission..." The siamese cat hissing a bit, "Oh, you get all the lovely ones! How often does such a puuuure-bred specimine come through the door..." smiling wide as she comes closer to her cage.

The human woman blushes a bit, looking away from Smokie shyly, as Freddy chuckles, "Well now... It's the little miss' choice, o'course, ladies. But we might be able to consider a be o'tha... menage-a-twa?" waggling his eyebrows with a grin. Looking back over his shoulder towards Smokie and Alkain, then back to the human woman, he smiles, "Well now, yes, she's certainly a rare breed, isn't she? Fine, pretty blue eyes... perfect, long, blonde hair... She's a sight, ain't she? Not sure I'd be able to part with her on a permament basis, mind you.. But she *is* somethin'..." Meandering toward the human's cage and admiring.

The chicken leans towards Smokie, smiling across her beak, "Now rarity and youth are one thing... but you look like the sort who'd like a *real* woman..."

Smokie smiles, admiring as well. She can't help but smile as her predatory nanite-fueled instincts fill her mind, to try and break the woman's spell. Of course, she knows that's likely all that she'd do, is try. Being a Coyote, she's fairly uncomfortable here. Bondage in the non-kinky way, that's something that she has never wished on anyone. She looks over to the chicken woman, and a whole other kind of predatory instinct clouds her mind. She smiles and perks an eyebrow. "You really do know your potential clientelle. I'd love to have you over for dinner, and then a vigorous after-dinner workout. But I must consider carefully, this is most likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Alkain looks at Freddy and hmms, "Well, where did you find her? She is very pretty..." he watches the human girl curiously as he talks to Freddy trying to seem interested in her for other reasons

The human woman looks around curiously... holding her shoulder, shaking her head at some unspoken thought. Freddy smiles, "Oh, well you know, she was fendin' fer herself, out there alone... Gotta say I was might surprised to find her as a did! Cleaned her up nice and proper, turned out to be a fine, lovely lady, I must say!"

The chicken smiles to Smokie, "Well then... do consider your options, of course, but I'd have to say you'd be missing out..."

Saide frowns as the Cow Maiden pulls away, pouting a little. "Free rides? I don't want to ride! I want a hug! You look good for hugs." She sticks her tongue out at the bovine, wiggling her posterior. After a moment of thought, the feline begins to heave as she... coughs up a small pink pouch with freecred inside. "'spensive petting zoo..."

Freddy chuckles, "A hug, is it? Well then... s'pose that wouldn't have n'harm... Let's say... 10 minutes? An' what sorta payment ya got there in that pretty lil purse o' yours? " smiling as he leans over to have a peek

Alkain eyes the human a little more and shrugs, "Probably to rich for my blood anyway..." he looks around at the other wares, not the living ones, and thinks a bit, "So... Why the cages?" he looks over at Freddy curiously

Freddy says, "Oh, well protection, of course! Wouldn't be right of me ta' have em unprotected, now, would it?"

Smokie looks at the chicken-woman, feeling pretty randy herself now. Flushing, she turns away. "I would honestly love to, but tonight, I cannot. I have much to do. Laundry and such. I'm... I'm sorry, really, I'd love to, but I'm sure you wouldn't let me take her with me, and I don't have enough to buy her, most likely."

The Coyote of course, feels awkward as she makes her way out past the others in the room, and keeps looking back at the two. SHe hopes she doesn't offend them, or the trader, as she hurriedly leaves. Inside her head she's cursing at herself for not just jumping on the opportunity.

Saide jingles her purse, peering inside it. "Hmmmm. I got Cred, and I got Mmmako, too." She looks up, her eyes sparking wickedly for a moment. "How mmmuch to feed?" She licks her lips, holding out a handful of Mako.

Freddy smiles to the other two, "Well then, what'll yer pleasures be?" The human woman looks a bit forelorn as the coyote makes his exit, as does the Chicken--both turning attentions to Alkain. The chicken piping up, "Well then, how about you there, suga'? Lookin' for a good time?" smiling playfully. Freedy looks at the freecred, then the mako, wiping his brow at that as he eyes it... "OH.. Well, I suppose a bit of that would do... just *fine* I think!" Smiling broadly, "Now, how long was you hopin' ta have, lil miss? S'pose I could give you the night, if you'd be s'inclined..."

The cow smiles broadly, "Oh, I'd most certainly be inclined, you darling little angel..."

Alkain hmms? and blushes at the chicken, finding himself suddenly hungry, though he shakes his head with a chuckle, "Would be nice... Though... Hmm..." he looks at Saide and blinks at the mako, "Mako? Isn't that a bit much?" he tilts his head curiously before looking back to the human curiously

Saide perks up at the idea of having the soft-looking bovine to herself for the whole night. She gives Alkain a confused look, peering at the Mako for a moment. "Just some shiny things." Practically tossing the items at Freddy, the inky feline tries once more to bump her head against the Cow Maiden's muzzle.

Freddy smiles, pocketing up those worthless little shiny bits, "Right this way, little lady... " as he opens up the cage for her. The cow making no moves to escape--rather, slipping her big arms around the small little feline, drawing her in... smiling broadly as she snuggles her up--the cage door shut behind them. He smiles to Alkain, "Well then, my friend... le'st yuns got some business ye'd like ta be doin', I'm thinkin' I might mosey into town, lock up, 'n let these little ladies have themselves a bit of privacy...

Freddy looks in after the cow, "You take sum *good* care o' her, May-bell! I'll be back ta check in 'round supertime."

The cow maiden smiles broadly, "Oh, most *certainly..* extra special care..." tracing her bovine hoof-fingered hand through Saide's headfur, brushing behind her ears lightly..

Alkain looks around and shrugs, "Not really into this actually... Though it is tempting..." he's resisting his urges it seems, "If you are going to town... Well, I'll let you go really..." he smiles as he starts to head out

Saide latches onto the bovine, clinging to her tightly and purrbling. Seeping into May-bel's clothing, everything that Saide touches tingle faintly as she begins to groom the Cow Maiden, feeding off her dandruff and loose strands of fur voraciously.

With Freddy stepping out behind Alkain, but leaving the lights and the music on for the girls, he latches up the door and locks up again. Picking up is sign, which reads "Oo La Fred," he pitches it overhanded into the open window. Shuttering up, locking up, and heading off into town with a bit of a spring in his step!
