Liam looked up, an annoyed look in his eyes. "The ground. Noticed something odd." He brushed his fingers through the dirt and pulled out a small knife. He pocketed it, and stormed away, his rags billowing out around him.

"People drop a lot of stuff out here in the wastelands! Dust storms throw junk around, animals drag things around, it's nothing new. Why is that little thing so significant?" She called out to him, wondering why on earth he got so ticked off.

"All things are little things." Liam said, still angry. He was talking about the mountains to the north, and she just ignored him! When he said something, he wanted them to listen. That's why he rarely said anything.

Rust's sigh bubbled over with annoyance and exasperation. What is he? she thought Some kind of philosopher? "Look," She said, keeping one hand on her hip and gestering to the north-east with her other. "My dad bought me a mule to carry our stuff on. The town of Digitis is north-east of here, so we can rest there on our way to the mountains." She glanced at the large metal doors leading into the town of Harbrook, then looked back at Anna and Liam. "We should stock up on supplies and some weapons and ammunition before we take off."

Anna bit her lip slightly. She barely knew these people, what made them think she'd just up and leave with them? Then again, she didn't really have a choice, people were going to be going anyhow and these two had sort of accepted her.
Blinking for a second, she looked down at her hand and groaned. The chances of her being able to bring along everything was low: her toolkit and a few pieces would have to do.

Liam calmed down at once. So Rust did hear him mention the mountains; she just didn't seem like it.
"I'll get weapons." He said. Once he said that, he started sprinting in the direction of his cave. He jumped over a rock and boosted off of a tree, a black blur.

Oh, so he's a ninja now? A philosophical ninja with a 'tude. Great. "Well, this is gonna be fun." The sarcasm in her words was incredibly obvious. "I hope he has something big." She stepped over to the nearest large rock and sat down while she waited for Liam to return.

Liam returned a few minutes later, carrying a large bag. Setting on the ground, he opened it to reveal a large amount of martial weapons. In the bag is a couple homemade spears, some army knives, a hatchet or two, some chains, and surprisingly, a rusted claymore. "No guns." Liam said. "Ammo is rare."

Anna looked over the bag, looking rather doubtful at his declaration of 'Ammo is rare'.
"At the right speed, anything can be dangerous. Ammo is everywhere!" She mumbled as she looked over a nearby pile. She felt completely out of place here, she knew clockwork and nothing else. Absent-mindedly, she started fiddling with a rusted nail.

"Bullets are rare." Liam corrected himself, picking up a chain from the bag. Twirling it around his arm, it seemed to vanish underneath his rags.
"Choose one. They might save your life."

Something clicked in her mind. "Bullets aren't the only type of ammo...." She turned and held up the nail, grinning. "With the right firing mechanism, you can load practically anything and shoot it. Then you can look around and find something else..." With an excited giggle, she looked upwards as she started thinking over what would be needed.
With a slight nod, she decided. She was going to try and make a clockwork crossbow.

As Liam revealed the contents of the bag, Rust stared at the pile of old 'weapons' with a look of disbelief. "Bullets? Rare?" She folded her arms and scoffed. "You could waltz into any A&A and you'd be stumblin' over the stuff! Well, from what I've heard almost all A&As are stuffed full of racketeers for that same reason." She chuckled as she got up off the rock. "Well, I'm gonna go borrow a sledgehammer from my Pa." As she approached the doors to the town, they slowly opened with a moan. She turned to look to Liam and Anna as she gestured towards the entrance. "How about we get something to eat?"

"Okay." Liam said. He wasn't comfortable taking food from the villagers, but it would be impolite not to.

"Sure." Anna mumbled as she followed the others. She was barely paying attention though, too busy going over potential mechanisms in her head. If she could get it right, she would have a long-distance weapon she knew she could repair and reload with ease. Hopefully.

"Great!" Her face beamed at the other two before she turned and strode back into the town, going straight for a while before turning right, where the only food place in town was. "The Rusty Cog, it's called." She said cheerfully before entering and sitting down at the bar.
((OMG LOL 'I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire' JUST STARTED PLAYING LOLOL))

Liam walked cautiously to the bar. He didn't drink alcohol, and was mildly disapproving of Rust's destination.
"Food, please." He said softly.
