Pip Pepper's Story

The setting changes from gambits-bar to The Abandoned Slums
The scavenger was, well, scavenging. You never knew what you could come upon in these forlorn forgotten places. The people who had lived here would have been poor; but it wasn’t coined treasures that he was searching for. Pip especially liked coming across things that could have held sentimental value to the owner – or so he would trick himself into believing that the object was out of the ordinary. Something he could make up great tales about, to make people want to gasp and touch and hold; and buy.
So far he had collected: a copper button, a dirty piece of florally decorated china, and now something which was made of glass. He grunted, straightening up amidst the rubble of a smaller shack and held his new find up into the light and twisted his hand, examining it from all angles as the sunshine twinkled from between the dust and mud which caked the object – promising something special. Eyes squinted against the brightness; he began to vigorously scrub at the crust which had formed over time with his sleeve.

Eyes squinted against the brightness; he began to vigorously scrub at the crust which had formed over time with his sleeve.
“Help!” Agh, Pip dropped the half-cleaned glass skull – or so that’s what it appeared to be – onto the ground in alarm at the cry. His startled jump had been violent and he whipped his head around to see the culprit which had caused this unfortunate event, trying not to stare at the ground at his shattered treasure in dismay although he had taken note of the desperation in the voice which had called out. He was neither very caring nor forgiving.
The redheaded woman was not what Pip had been expecting to see; and though his eyes narrowed in suspicion, he had momentarily forgotten about the glass skull. What on Terra…
“Shouldn’ be lurkin’ roud ere love.” His eyes darted this way and that, considering that this was some kind of trap. Paranoia often plagued Pip. Though, it didn’t appear that this woman had any other choice but to be ‘lurkin’, her hands were tied and she looked tired. Still, hostility rolled off the scavenger. “Wassat for?” He gestured at the bonds.

Pip thought he may have been blushing but he couldn’t tell. Escapades. He doubted the truth of her words. They were so far away… Why here? Actually, he thought better not to think about it. Well, at least now while she was standing straight in front of him.
Realising how awkward he must have looked, Pipe cleared his throat and scratched at his stubble, trying to decide what to do.
Oh, hell, why not? What was the worst thing she could possibly do?
“Er” He mumbled gruffly, a strange shyness coming upon him when he beckoned her. He might be a little on the anti-social side but he was not downright heartless. “Bit closer” He scuffled about in his deep pockets, trying to find his knife. It was in there somewhere, but so was enough scavenging to fill a bric-a-brac shop.

He cut the rope with some difficulty after taking quite a while to fine the knife, and even then it was the rather blunt one. However, it did the intended job and the rope fell to the ground with a soft thud to join the shards of glass and remnant rubble. He stepped away when he was finished and returned the knife to its junk heaven.
Pip failed to follow when she told him her name, so he just gave her a long look and said, trying to sound kind, and probably failing; “I’ll just call yer T. Gonna tell me while yer really here? Escapoodles in this place would leave yer pretty dusty” He wasn’t as unintelligent as he seemed, though still pretty stupid.

Warren Aulare was wandering aimlessly about when suddenly he smiled at the sky. For a moment he stood there and stared up into Terran Orbit. A satisfied nod and he turned on his heel with new direction. He thumbed at the die in his pocket as he made his way in to the city.
