There seemed to be advertisements scattered around the Cultist's mansion, all put up in a neat and dignified manner upon the grand walls and on bulletin boards. They were bright and flashy, with the duo's big logo on them.
Will you check it out?

Rewind was still fairly new to the cult, wandering around the cult mansion aimlessly, attempting to familiarize himself with it. It was the first time since he joined that he made an effort to learn more about it. As he walked the lofty halls of the mansion, flyers for a certain pawn shop seemed to be littered around the halls. He finally stopped to read one of them and sighed to himself. He had to be honest, wandering had gotten old fast and he decided to check it out. Holding a finger up to his temple, his tattoos and eyes momentarily glowed gold as he vanished from the hall with a flash of gold light, to the surprise of a random cultist bystander that was happening to walk past. What he met when he reappeared was a building in the swamp, and a sign with the shop's logo swinging and creaking about in the light wind. "Might as well see what this is about."

A-153 was well on it's way to the swamp edge, pieces of scrap metal stuck in it's body with a torn poster. Aly had done it the favor of reading the paper to it, and as soon as it had said "trash", A knew what bring. With a quick trip home to the torn warehouse, it returned with a pile of metal scraps that were uselessly strewn about. So it was gonna give the "trash" to the hydra.
A quick look down at the paper confirmed it's suspicion; the picture on this matched the picture on the wooden plaque above it's head. It grinned, glad to be able to drop these scraps. After endless floating around town, it was getting tired. It spotted Rewind ahead and decided it wasn't in the mood for a lot of talking, simply waving and beaming as it floated to the door, pushing it open and entering, dumping the metal on the side.
"Phew!" It exclaimed, sliding onto the floor. The scraps weren't too big, about the size of a basketball each. But carrying them all at once got exhausting.

Floating around the cult can be interesting and overhearing others could be fun as well, but today Whisber had another objective. Earlier while passing by she noticed their familiar faces on the poster, Caster and Pollux. She thought it wouldnt be to bad to go see her newly made friends. Even though she had no interest in the items of the shop themselves, going to just say hi couldn't cause any harm.
With that she went off looking for the described area, seeing that three others had arrived before her. With what seemed like a smile she reached for the door to enter the hydra's domain.

The shop owners were sitting on a large pillow behind the main desk in the building, biding their time. One was holding a newspaper, the other drinking a cup of what we presume is coffee. The newspaper bound one looked up, however, at the sound of the bell at the door ringing gently. "Well, well! It appears someone has been reading our advertisements. Welcome! Feel free to browse, my dear," said the orange of the duo, a very slick tone to their smooth voice. They flashed a toothy grin, before glancing back down to the articles. The blue one smiled at @skelelock, before quietly noticing that some others had arrived as well, such as rewind, A-153, and Whisber. Ze waved at them all, having put down the mug to do so. "Welcome! If you have any questions, we're happy to answer!" |

She stared at the poster that was mounted on some trees outside. It didn't look quite eye catching or interesting to her, but one line made her visit the pawn shop
"Lose your garbage!" It had said
Bone wandered around the area, a wagon full of boxes and pouches and stuff that were just tossed in there haphazardly. After enough wandering she finally found the shop in a swamp that she didn't explore before. Inside she saw that the place already had customers, some she recognized. She smiled at the hydra at the counter in an attempt to look friendly.
"Hi! I heard you help get rid of some garbage. Do you do trades?"

Looking over at the newest arrival, A nodded. "Yeah, same here! I don't have any use for this so I'm giving it to you... uh... two." A tilted it's head curiously. "Are you one person or two? It's difficult to tell. Or are you both, or neither? Why are you so tall? Where did you come from?" And so the barrage of questions came.

Castor decided to tackle @skelelock, while Pollux would deal with the customers who wanted to trade things in, or just say hello. It usually went this way. The warmer toned of the two was always a bit more confident in their ability to make money. Pollux, however, was better in underpricing goods that came in. Ze always had been scared of overpricing, and well, that seemed to work perfectly for the duo. "Watch hands, eh? I'm sure I can find something like that around here for you, lass. Perhaps you'd like some batteries as well, or a new strap?" Castor asked, the smooth touch to their voice making a valiant effort to persuade Jeu into spending just a bit more. Already bartering, that dastardly hydra. Pollux, on the other hand, seemed a bit overwhelmed by the number of questions A-153 was asking, and the one by Bonebon wasn't helping. "Ah...We are two hydra, yes...We do trades...?" ze stammered off, losing concentration on the subject at hand. Maybe that wasn't coffee in zir mug. It was hard to tell, at this point. Ze already seemed totally lost at the amount of questions being tossed. Perhaps ze needed a moment. |

Huffing, the shapeshifter entered the shop, a cigarette in his mouth like usual, but the fact that it wasn't lit made it unnatural for him. He looked around the shop, his lighter in his pocket as he looked at the....owners?
"Do either of you have parts for a broken lighter?" Dante asked, not really in the best of moods and the only way he'd relax is by smoking.

A frowned, staring at Pollux's weird, fragmented answer. "Hydra, sounds cool! So, can I trade in this pile of metal?" It asked, gesturing to a lump of slightly rusted steel. "What do you have that I can take for it?"
A snapped it's gooey fingers in realization as it remembered to do something. "Oh! I'm A, A-153. Who are you?"

A hydra. She thought that was cool. "I'm Bonebon. I seel candy bones!" she said proudly. She grabbed one small pouch from hee wagon and rummaged inside it. She brought out a bracelet with rubies on it, a long gold necklace and some silver earrings. "Would you like to trade? These jewelry for some magical things. I prefer some bestiaries, maybe some amber or other gems." she gestured to her wagon. "Don't like accesories? Would you like some clothes? Flowers?"

Rewind shoved himself to the front, passing @skelelock, Bonebon, and A-153. He happily greeted the game master before turning to the hydras. "I see you're having a tough time here, mind if I help?" Rewind asked, smiling at them. Turning to the others once again, still smiling, he stated to them, "Okay, okay I know we all have questions for the hydra but one at a time, please. I ask you to be patient with them." |

Looking at rewind, it nodded, sitting itself on it's metal pile and making a zipper motion across it's mouth, smiling and nodding. After a moment of silence, it hopped up, and began to float around the shop, for perhaps a piece of cloth for Giraffy, it's stuffed toy giraffe. Maybe a tiny bonnet or a cape would do. Or maybe A would find a scarf or a dress, for a friend. |

Pollux took a moment to give the timekeeper rewind a very thankful glance, before motioning the other clients, besides @skelelock , to form a line to wait. "Ah... Alright, I shall begin with ah...A, you said?" ze spoke, kinda softly, towards A-153 . Castor gave a quick nod to Rewind, before looking back to Skelelock. "But of course! We couldn't have enough random junk around this place," they said, motioning to Pollux that the duo would need to move to the back room for a moment. "Ah...A moment, please," Pollux said to the clients Dante and Bonebon . The duo turned around, and Castor motioned Jeu to follow suit. A grand hunt for watch hands was about to begin. |

Pollux caught A's attention, and it made an unzipping motion back across it's maw playfully. "Yup! Your sign said you wanted garbage things, so I brought some!" it explained, pointing to the heap of steel. It then followed behind the hydra and Jeu, whom it grinned at.
