After having his last expedition attempt be interrupted by the quakes that have been ripping through the land, Vejovis has regrouped with a new team. They discover a few more tracks to follow.

The first leads to a meal tent where folks seem to be up in arms about something. Seems a shooting went wrong....*

The next is towards one of the many stores. It seems there's a special production deal going on! x2

The next one is towards the castle's water supply. The poor, poor water supply.


The last one seems to be heading towards the wasteland.

There's also a fortune-telling booth nearby......

Vejovis taps at his face idly, processing the options laid before his 'research team'. Options for lackeys assistants on Prison Planet were surprisingly slim, but perhaps their performance would surpass his expectations.

"Hmmm… secondary input requested." He turned his unblinking gaze from the trails ahead to the four that followed along behind him, their own pets in tow.

The AI's own blort was rather interested in the Mallon with extra ears. Perhaps it was hopeful that if it tried being a [Cheerleader] it might be just what it needs this time to truly become legendary…

"I mean. We're on a prison planet. It's all gonna suck."
"Prisons are rife with disease and leftover organic matter. I'm sure we'll find some valuable materials just about anywhere though..."

"Y'all with all your big fancy words."
"If we are all truly curious about the stores, we should... go there. ^lo"
"Maybe get snacks for Arsenic? Ö෴Ö"
"Now, maybe? ^lo"
"Onward then, and keep an eye out for any specimens. Those "A-classes" might be fun to disec- I mean, might prove to be useful for research.... " He starts to head off towards the stores.
"Oh, yes! Yes! A-classes are truly fascinating, aren't they! ^lo" With that, he follows along.

The group all enter the store. As soon as they all do they're assaulted by loud music. It looks like a party has been set up!

Apollo smiles with great effort as the group comes in.

Not only did he not want to be a cashier, but he especially didn't want to be a cashier for the group of weirdos walking into the store.

Wednesday starts just searching around for anything on her own.
"Apollo, with all respect, I do not believe 'sucking' to be a part of your manufacturers specifications."
"I don't care what the manufacturer says, I'll suck if I want to! I'm tired of being told what to do by a manual!"
"You are physically incapable of sucking."

Vejovis's face doesnt move, it cant move. But he is frowning.
Vejovs checks his inventory to see if he has a coin.

"You can make me an artwork right now?"
"I want to see!!!! Make me an artwork!!!!"

Zookeeper approaches Vejovis. He is very excited!

"..." .... This little candy dispenser sure is dumb.
"…"

With Zookeeper distracted by the prospect of art, B-7801 approaches the fridge, Leechy in tow.
Annatto takes advantage of the distraction to try and rescue the stolen art from the fridge!
Wednesday just walks behind the robots and goes to see where B-7801 went.

As Annotto touches the fridge, he is shocked.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 7 is rolled.

It hurts, but Annotto keeps going, deciding to take the art back out of spite.

The next shock is horrible! The small robot falls to the ground, unable to move for a short bit.
Oxymoron is bored of the current situation. he is, however, also curious about where everyone went. He goes to see the fridge, although observing from afar.

Perhaps out of spite Vejovis manages to make a wobbly looking apollo image. The zookeeper now has a tattoo of Apollo on him.

Zookeeper suddenly starts spinning in place, trying to see the artwork drawn on him.
Everyone watches him do this for a full minute before he suddenly and unexpectedly folds his legs under himself and shuts off.

"..............................."
"Oh.... don't do that to him...."
"Don't worry apollo, I'm sure he will be fine."
"Probably."

With Zookeeper distracted, but now well aware of the electric shock the fridge gives, B-7801 tries to find something to open the fridge door with.

B-7801 rolls a 20 sided die. A 7 is rolled.

B-7801 finds a bar but...is pretty sure it'll still shock them through it.

"Oh! He'll be fine. I know how to fix the issue, I'm just not going to do it cause it would take me too much time..."
"Uh, hey what are you guys doing with the fridge back there, we're not allowed to touch it..."
"…"
Vejovis leaves the zookeeper on the ground and goes to attempt retrieving his art.
"I still cannot believe he stole my gift for Apollo."
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +10. A 22 is rolled.

Vejovis is stunned!

"Did nobody see the exact same thing happen to me orrr...."

"Uh...I don't want to be rude, but are you stupid? This planet is filled with hungry people. Obviously, you're not allowed because you'd steal it."
"Without the protection, the camera crew and interns wouldn't have food."
"Oh right. Organics need food and stuff to not die."

Vejovis sits on the ground, feeling particularly worthless after messing this up.
"Oh, no! It could be filled with anything! Fridges are also quite good at hiding things like dead bodies and the like, you know. ^lo"

"I'm sorry Apollo... I-I didn't mean to mess this up so much. I just wanted to give you a present because I know you try so hard all the time.... I just wanted you to have something nice..."
"Ok well, listen up. How about you go open the fridge when it's NOT my shift."

"WOULD YOU ALL STOP HARASSING HIM!!!!" Vejovis snaps at the notails. "He's fragile."
"I'm not...."

"Nothing bad about being fragile!! That's why there are mechanics and stuff!!"

Vejovis huffs and goes to check if the fridge is plugged in.

"I try so hard to do everything all the time."
"And people just...."
"Keep ruining it for me!!!!"

"…I'll see what money I have. Doubt it's much, but if we can't look in that fridge, we might as well at least buy the rat food and pet. xO"
"Before I, or any of us, contribute to this goal, I have to ask: How are we deciding who gets the beast? ^lo"
B-7801 rolls a 20 sided die. A 14 is rolled.

B-7801 has an alright amount of money but more is needed.

"Anyone else got a bit more? xO"

Annatto checks his inventory too. He feels pretty bad about the scene without anyone even buying anything.

Annatto rolls a 20 sided die. A 2 is rolled.

He's poor.

"......I'll pay too.... -෴-"
Wednesday rolls a 20 sided die. A 4 is rolled.

She's poor.

"…Anyone else have money? xO"

Oxymoron and Vejovis check their inventories for money too.

Oxymoron rolls a 20 sided die. An 11 is rolled.
Vejovis V1 rolls a 20 sided die. An 117 is rolled.

With all their money combined, they're all..........slightly short on money.

"...Why are you giving us money??? You work here."
"Because I.....need this on my resume and if I get fired I'll be unable to be hired in the places I want to be."
"Think of it as an investment."
"I... would rather give Apollo the funds for his goals than for this fish..."
"...."
"..........................................................."
Wednesday just wants something to advance at this point.
"Really?"
"I mean no.....no don't do that...."
"Don't give me money, oh no......."
"You can have mine at least. Because we are friends and that is what friends do? Right?" He tries to give his points to Apollo.

"I have to make sure I won't get fired...and your friends really sound like they want to steal the rat food...."

"Well, we can at least contribute to your sales... But I refuse to clean the candy machine." He looks to the group. "Can we skip on the rat food? I'm sure we can find some wild animals to feed your rat instead."
"Eh, fine. Ö෴Ö"

The idea of saying "I don't know if I'll ever see my sister again" made Apollo's head swirl. He didn't like his sister. He hated his sister.............

But he cared about her, and truth be told, the fact that nothing has been said about his sister's appearance in the last few days has worried him to no end.

"It's a little strange to see you here without her, all things considered."
"......................................"
"She's uh, busy. I think."
"Quite! I hope I run into her later on!"
He's decided to drop the subject of the artwork he made. For now.
He'll make a new one later.

"Before we pay for the fish, am I allowed to ask if there are any other pets here. xO"
"Like bombats. xO"
"I suppose.... Ö෴Ö"
Annatto scoops up his mirrorer.
"Uh-- sorry. About the fridge stuff."

Apollo slides all the money into a jar.
He weeps over his own money going in.

"Do you even have the points for a bombat?"
"…Not. At the moment xO"
"You people are too poor to buy more pets...."
"I do not wish to deal with Bizz, so we're leaving before you break anything else."
"You can come back on your own if you get some points to spend later."
"Thanks for buying...come again. (please don't....)"

Before they leave, Vejovis gives Apollo a quick pat on the head. "These guys are insane, but I think you did a great job as a cashier."
"Alright, now OUT." He begins shoving the others out of the store.
Expedition Success!

Apollo grabs a towel. He has to get the artwork off of Zookeeper. While passing the fridge he looks at the artwork that was stolen before he could see it.
