Beads chimed against one another as the preteen swung her messenger bag down on the old wool blanket. "Alright now...let's see." Frowning in concentration Tally started to fiddle around with some strings and wham! Several colorful necklaces of silver, copper, and gold with different designs and bead decorations fell out onto a mess of bracelets and rings.
"Oh! Oh!" Tally scrambled around to fix everything into its proper pile and gave one last pat to the blanket - ole faithful- before sitting back. Her hands rubbed together, today was the day. Today she finally would sell some of this hard work. Hopefully starting with the Saturday crowd this early afternoon.
Especially if she wanted that deluxe set of glass beads and wire that came with her own items for melting designs together- not to mention that nice laptop that was always luring her out in the electronics store at the mall. And that camera...
Tally laughed. "I have a lot of selling to do for that stuff!" Her antenna flashed in agreement and she had to stifle another giggle before looking out at the crowds. Time ta find customers.

A purple skinned female was out, on her way back from a fabric store. She had a few more outfits she was having put together for a show, and had agreed to do the shopping for the costume mistress she worked with. And so, here the woman was, wandering about and looking at the people selling things, on her way back to her home.
When the tones of a younger girl met her ear, Ebby raised a brow, "For what stuff?" she inquired pleasantly, walking close to Tally's blanket and leaning down to admire her wares. "These are quite lovely."

Tally looked up from the necklace that she had been fiddling with and smiled. A potential customer perhaps? Her light blue eyes widened with surprise as she took in the strange yet beautiful lady's appearance. Could it be that she was from the lab as well? Probably. Though she couldn't pinpoint anything about the lady's heritage.
"Much stuff." Tally finally answered with a grin, "But thank you! I worked really hard to get them just right." Her eyes sparkled with happiness to hear someone praise her stuff. Especially a stranger! After all family was always expected to lie about things - whether they were pretty or not. "I'm selling them, if you see something you like."

"May I pick a few up?" she inquired, a purple hand near one of the necklaces. It looked pretty but without a feel of the material, she didn't know if it'd hurt to wear or not.
Idly, she took notice of the girl's hair. Now where had she seen that before? "Are you from Seven of Seven, by chance?"

Tally nodded, "Yeah sure. You can even try some on if ya like." She searched around the blanket a bit before unearthing a small hand mirror. "You can use the mirror too if you like." She put it back down on the blanket before smiling up at Ebony.
"Seven of Seven?" Tally smiled faintly, "Yeah, I'm from that place. Are...are you from there as well?" The preteen grinned, "Do you want to guess my heritage or should I tell you? It always seem that people want to ask that once they know about me being from the lab. Anyways my name's Natalya, Tally for short."

"Wonderful. Thanks!" Ebby said, kneeling carefully by the blanket and beginning to try on the different accessories, most of which were just held up to her neck as she looked through eternally closed looking eyes into the mirror.
"Yes I am." she agreed, glancing up at Tally again, "I know who half of you is at the very least. Patience - you're related to Pagiel. Don't know about the other half though. I'm Lust and Kindness myself - my name's Ebony, or just Ebby for short."

"Welcome." Tally grinned, happy to finally have another enthusiastic customer. Her hands played with the silver bangles that chimed together on her wrist while she listened to Ebony. "Ah-hah. Well nice to meet ya, Ebony!"
Really Tally was surprised to hear Ebony say Pagiel's name. How did she know about her father? Tally thought that most of the spawns only visited their 'parents', but she didn't question it. It was cool really that Ebony new Patience. "Lust and Kindness?" Of course she hadn't met either yet, even though her sister was lust herself. Tally frowned, as much as she hated the labs- maybe she should try to learn more. "My other half is gluttony. Though patience is my favorite." She grinned up at Ebony. "Pagiel's a really nice guy."

"Yes he is." Ebony agreed, "Then again, so was the last patience too, Hyacinth. I've met both and Hy was a dear friend of mine."
A small snort issued from the girl, "Yes, I prefer my angelic side too. I'm not fond of J'her. She insulted one of my friends when I visited her."

"Oh?" Tally's eyes widened. She never heard about the old patience! She just knew that she was the first child to come from Pagiel. "I never really thought about the old angel before. Hyacinth. I'm sorry." Tally blinked away sudden tears and smiled, "He must have been really dear." She was too afraid to ask what had happened to him, maybe she could ask Lissy later.
Tally laughed lightly, "I guess it is easier to like the angelic side. 'Specially when my demonic just tries to eat everything and anything." Though she blushed remembering how she used and still did find herself craving lots of strange things. "J'her sounds like bad news." Tally frowned. "I haven't even met her but from what I know, I don't like her."

"oh he is a real dear." Ebby agreed cheerily, "there's rumor he escaped." Not that Ebony knew anything about that, as if she'd met him again later on, nope. "I'm sure whatever happened to him, he's fine. He didn't die like a few of the donors did, so we can assume the best."
"She is bad news." the light and happy tone left Ebony's voice for a few moments as she looked seriously to Tally, "she's a horrible creature and you'd do best to never have anything to do with her."
The smile returned in a few moments, Ebby toying with a few beaded rings and necklaces she liked, "Anyway, there are much better demons in the facility to meet. Enki's a darling, and Charna loves attention." she said idly, glancing at a few of the items, "You know, how about I buy your whole stock, hm? I'll take some gifts over to Enki and Charna, as well as my friends back at Cirque."

"Escaped? Wow!" Tally shook her head in disbelief, but she knew that Ebony was telling the truth. "I didn't think it was possible with that place. But yeah, I'm glad that he didn't have to die." Her gaze softened. Death was such a sad matter - especially when it was someone's only way for real freedom.
"Aye. I'll remember that." Though Tally slightly blanched. Talk about being worried about her little brother! He was lust after all...and those parent meetings. Oh, man. Hopefully she wouldn't have to tag along whenever that would happen.
"Tee. Sounds like I should go exploring one day. Carefully that is." Tally smiled to see Ebony smiling again before she blinked in surprise. "The who-whole stock, Ebony? Really?" Her antenna flashed repeatedly and she had to hold a hand over the light.
"If you want that is! I'll even give you a special price!" Tally gushed happily in shock as she gathered everything up into a basket, "Wow." She wrote down the list of things and held up a figure. "That okay with you?"

"Mm you don't have to wander far to meet Enki, he likes to meet people and hangs around the door often." she assured the girl before laughing merrily and nodding at the figure. "Yes, all of it. You can get off and go home early, maybe get some of that 'much stuff' you wanted!"
She carefully took the bills out of her wallet - a few more than the other girl asked - and handed it over. "Keep the change."

"Heh. Sounds like a very social one, Enki does." Replied Tally with a smile. He probably would be the easiest to visit first. Though she knew that she wanted to visit Pagiel again sometime soon. Maybe a visit to the lab wouldn't hurt after all. Especially since someone else she wanted to see was there.
"Wow! I can, can't I?" Tally laughed, "I never thought I'd get to go home this early unless it rained or something." Her eyes widened again at the bills that were handed to her. "Are you...okay." Tally shook her head and smiled up at Ebony. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. See you hon!" Ebony laughed, putting the jewelry in her bag and heading home. She'd have to stop by and see Enki and Charna to drop of their presents at some point, if she got the chance. For now, she'd met a very fine girl and given her the chance to get stuff, so that was cool.
