It felt like the first time she had been outside in ages, and even as dull and dirty as it looked it felt amazing. Lease almost wanted to just stand there in the middle of the junkyard and bask in it. One month stuck in a mall was way too long.
But she had been given a task and she kind of felt the need to do it. Where she exactly had to go was not actually given to her, so she ended up wandering the junkyard for maybe a bit longer than she probably should have - man, what if someone beat her to it?! She'd feel like an a**! And she probably looked ridiculous in her batman dress. (at least she got to be outside).
The teenager soon found herself in front of an amazingly dressed person, that look was amazing and those red eyes were really cool, with a sign. "You the person I give the herring to?" She held it out to them.

Information seemed pretty important, and apparently this was the place to get it.
The trek over wasn't so bad, and it was almost pretty easy to spot this particular place because it was one of those kind of places that people--living, breathing, not undead people--were flocking too. So he just followed a small group of them and ta-da. Drew grinned at the brilliance (not really) of his simple idea and wandered around for a little while, observing to see where it was he could go to get some intel.
He spotted someone shady looking enough to maybe be the guy he was looking for, so he made his approach. "Got some wires for you," he said, pulling out one of the sets he had in his possession, "if you're interested, that is?"

Gilda was getting thirsty, and with the world the way it was, the only way to get resources was to try and trade for them. Unfortunately all she had to offer was candy, she could only hope that somewhere out there there was someone with a serious sweet tooth and a whole heap of water to drink.
Scott approaches the Junkyard Joker with a soft frown tugging downwards at the corner of his mouth. His eyes, dark and seemingly always brooding, take in the other male's appearance and then he's reaching into the back pocket of his own jeans. His hand wraps around the wad of money he'd stored there and he offers it out to the Joker.
"You take money for info, right? I don't have any use for this anymore so... I figure it'd be best spent on whatever you've got to say.."

Sunny clutched her wires and entered into the Junkyard for the first time, eyeing the varying piles of miscellaneous objects. She had heard talk about this place as safe trading hub and its keepers offering things for other equally unspecific things but had yet found a reason to go for herself. Briefly, she wondered if these items still had any use left in them before she spotted the Junkyard Joker and scurried over.
"I, um, have these," she said and presented the wires with an open palm. She wasn't sure what would come out of this, but stared at the joker expectantly.

Dazs entered the junkyard warily, half-certain that this was the bandits big base. But, after no one popped out of the shadows he relaxed a little. For a moment, he was at a loss, then Dazs just decided the loud approach was the best approach.
"Yo! I got wires if you want them - trade them for info! Just looking for some water instead." He paused, trying to think of how he could sell his item better, "Information could save your life! How much is your life worth - a water bottle?" He really wanted water - the mall was not a good source of such things, but Dazs was willing to entertain any offer.
And then, he waited... And no one offered. "******** this." Dazs stomped back over to the Joker. If he'd get no bites, then fine, he'd get information. "Hey, what kinda information can you part with for this?" He slid the wires at the man and waited.

"Heard y'all trade infermation fer goodies." Was all Rich gave the Information Joker (clever), slapping the wires down onto the counter of the booth. "Tell me, if ya know, who sent them bandits to the mall? Or were they a rogue agency, with their own agenda?"
Rebecca's muffled screams still rang in Rich's ears. Resetting the other girl's jaw, Gman's lost brother. Blood had been shed, and it was time to ante up in this game of hold 'em.

Someone had told Liam hat the wires he'd found could be traded for some sort of information. He wasn't sure he believed them, but since the dorms had power, and they seemed to have(at the moment) plenty of supplies to keep it that way, maybe a little extra information would come in more handy then a handful of wire.
It was worth a try, in any case.
So Liam had taken his wire and gone looking for this so called Joker. When he found him he set the bundle of wire on the counter. "Any information you can give would be appreciative. Maybe you know how the infected got in the washroom in the dorms?"

For someone who claimed he could do anything and everything he sure sucked hard at finding anything to drink. Kaethus would try to hide it but couldn't anymore and had to come to Aaron for help. He found him quickly enough.
"Hey." He said, holding out the kinder egg he found out to his older brother. "You really sure this is okay?" A kinder egg for a bottle of water, it was fair right? Something sweet for something quenching? Kaethus held his hand out.

In the context of a crisis, money meant very little to the university that had become isolated and operated with a system of rationing. At first, the fat stacks found in the locked desks of the missing provost were coveted and hoarded by the opportunistic looters. But as time passed, the students who became increasingly desperate for food and water had begun throwing them out at the student union for any extra morsel. To everyone gathered at the university, the money was now just a symbol of a fallen system, good for nothing except to fuel the fire (only to be stopped by the most patriotic voices and economists, who argued that they might still hold some value outside.)
And so here he was, tasked with the job of exchanging the cash for something more useful to their cause. Peter squinted at the hooded man, who by the looks of it, had taken control of the junkyard area.
“What have you got for this?” he asked in a measured tone, one that was not too eager or disinterested. The stack of cash was held up in his hand as proof.
A wild curiosity burgeoned as he continued to stare at the other man. “What happened a month back?” he could not stop himself from asking.

He looks over to see Kaethus walking up to him, arching his brow at him. "Hm?" Looks to see the kinder egg in his hand, seeing that he finally came to his senses about the trade. "Of course it's okay. You've been thirsty for a while now haven't you." Aaron smiles, it was his responsibility to look after him after all, grabbing his water bottle and gives it to him to trade.

Cash, its monetary value seemed like a pittance to the abundant need of supplies. Fresh bottled water and clean food was a luxury in this nightmare. Justin when he found a little piggybank and tapped it open against a wall. It wasn't a love tap. The wad of bills under a shower of coins was snatched and he was running to take it to the junkyard. He had heard stories that someone was here, looking for things that were once monetary value. There was a figure also in the area, a hooded one that looked like he might be the one.
Flashing the roll of bills did the trick as he walked up closer and kept his hands where the other could see them. "a little birdie told me about an important word." he mentioned dryly "Now i am interested about a particular item connected to it. Or whatever you know that could be beneficial." he only hoped that the other figure was aware of what he was speaking about.

Lissa's grin fell as G-Man's voice grew more serious and for a second her eyes went blank, processing her options--but then he returned to his normal flirty self, and her shoulders relaxed, giving him a lopsided grin. "Some barricade-building and chill, am I right?" she joked, jabbing him lightly on the arm with one elbow. Her tidbit of information in tow, she turned away from the Joker's booth and back towards the vague direction of the mall, waving smugly at her partner in crime.
"C'mon, I'm sure we've got loads to talk about."

I figure we can trail off to a drabble if you'd like?
She needed something...She'd heard that if you go to a place called the junkyard, you could trade stuff for anything really, information, items, weapons. She really needed that last one. Leiah pulled out the red herring she'd been hanging onto, walking up to the hooded figure [really, they looked like the only shady one here], offering it up to them. She couldn't really speak so she wrote down what she wanted to say.
I heard that if you trade items of value, you could get something in return? Some one traded a red herring for a weapon earlier. Would that offer still stand? Or anything else for that matter?
Lets see where this goes.
