Joining a detective agency was much, much more drab than she thought it would be. "It's training!" they told her. "You're the newbie, so you get all the grunt work." Verniy told herself--no, tried to convince herself--that it was fine. She trusted her seniors when they told her that this would be a step toward solving her brother's case. Though, what dragging in a few agency wash-ups, wanted by no one, did to facilitate her "training", she hadn't the slightest idea. She left the pitiful things at the door of the establishment and strode to the counter.

Hold your head up high, she reminded herself. You're an actual detective now! With the same pride of a child buying their first piece of candy, she slapped the note down on the counter. "That'll be all, sir!" she beamed, and held out an open hand that awaited the money she had been promised.

Had one ever considered what happened to the pets that were salvaged? The name of the Saloon might have sounded nice and all, but Jakerz wasn't one to believe that any good came out of surrendering others here. Well, it did good for his pocket, but not likely for the pets, themselves. Of course, as long as it was a benefit to him, that was all he cared about. Still, he was one at least to be curious as to what went on here.

"I have a list of creatures that are no longer of use to me," Jakerz declared when meeting the shopkeeper face to face. Taking a neatly folded stationary paper from his pocket, he handed it over. "That's what I'll be dropping off. They'll be arriving shortly." He didn't care what happened to them once he left. He would have dropped them off anywhere now that he was done with them, but making a bit of money off of it wasn't a bad deal.

What useless... assistants they had been. Nothing but trouble, the whole lot of them. So why not just trade them over for some cash instead? Adela smirked, making her way into the saloon with a crumpled piece of paper in her hand. One she had thought about casting aside more than once until she had a good enough reason to have them dragged in in exchange for something more useful.

"Greetings," she spoke, leaning forward to brace herself against the counter, "I have a list of things I will be bringing in shortly in exchange for keystones. I heard this was the right place to dump unwanted trash," she spat out the last word with malice. Maybe once she cast them aside, it would shake her more loyal assistants into obeying her better. Adela tossed the note on the table, and headed out to prepare to bring in what she had promised.

Hyx entered the shop with a grin. He loved nothing more than cleaning out the old. "I've got these unwanted pets here. I do hope you can put them to better use," he said. He didn't care how they were to be used, just so long as they were no longer his responsibility. "Lets see, I believe these are them," he said.

Dhaifu huffed impatiently at the back of the line. He craned his neck around to see how things were going at the front, but was a little too short to manage. He whined and shuffled his feet.

At last, he reached the front, and nearly barreled into the last customer as they were leaving.

"I have three things for you!" he declared.

Dolce had a shoot to get to in thirty minutes, and this little store was a minimum of twenty-five minutes away. That left the girl a solid five minutes to get in and out. She understood, of course, that her father couldn't run the errand. Considering what he was... well, reactions were still mixed among the common people. No amount of makeup could disguise those three black dots under his eye that marked him an android. And Mr. Sinclair, it was blessing that he even took time out of his day to mentor her, grouchiness aside. No amount of eclairs could persuade him to leave his office for such a petty task.

But that didn't answer her original question! Why was it that these creatures needed to be delivered now, when they still had the rest of the month?! It's not like the money would be delivered on spot. It's not like it would put food on their plates for the night... She felt a tug on one of the leashes in her hand. "Come on, I don't have time to deal with you prats," she snarled.

Dolce tugged the three beasts behind her. "Old man, I have this month's delivery! Another three beasts for you to take care of. Send the money later, I really have to dash."

Late on the final evening of the month, a large, beat-up van pulled up to the Salvage Saloon. It was tricked out with all sorts of odd appliances, with various antennaes and dishes bolted to the top. The amount of duct tape on the hull of the vehicle implied it had seen finer days, yet somehow it didn't fall apart as it screeched to a stop in front of the store.

An odd man climbed out of the passenger side, dressed in dirty trousers and a stained, white T-shirt. He was quick to enter the Saloon and make his business known, not hesitating to walk directly to the clerk and begin his requests. "I have a few creatures to turn in this month..."

Hyx didn't hesitate to enter the saloon. There were some pets who badly needed to be re-homed, or forgotten. It was a short list, as was the rules of the saloon. This month there would be three, next month maybe three more. The logistics of it all wasn't really his concern. "I need to drop these off," he said shortly.

It was Ajit's turn to run errands. He found this vexing, but submitted nonetheless.

The ashy-grey garudor glided silently into a smooth landing outside the shop door. One of his massive talons rested firmly on the ground beneath him, its four tough "fingers" each pointing in a different direction, maximizing the grip they held on the earth. The other talon clenched firmly around the mouth of what appeared to be a makeshift sack of mosquito netting.

"I am told this is where one comes to sell..." he said, then trailed off. He didn't really want to say 'used friends.'

As happy as he was for Dolce--naturally, she was something like a daughter to him--why couldn't the damned girl be here right now? His watch read 10:34. The convention the young model had been invited to speak at ended just over half an hour ago, but the venue was an hour's drive away. While he could harass his young protege to make a wild dash to the store in its last minutes of opening, doing so would render him a cruel, cruel man.

"Hello sir. I'm not here to chit-chat. I have a stack of freshly baked eclairs at home, so make it snappy if you will," Edmund said. He held out to the man the handles of three leashes, each attached to a different breed of Hollowheart. They were annoying little beasts, and Edmund was going to be glad to get them off his hands.

As much as he hated to admit it, he was broke. Going to R'cai and asking for some funds didn't seem like a viable option either, since it'd just mean more work for him in the long run. It didn't really seem like the right thing to do, but... he needed the money. Besides, the stupid animals had run right in to his traps anyways. Plenty of people made a living off of hunting. Furs were worth a lot, and a lot of people enjoyed eating exotic game.

By the time he'd met Salvis, he'd already okayed pawning off these poor creatures to someone else. They were simply money to him.

Hyx had arrived with more unwanted pets. Well... they weren't unwanted, but they didn't exactly fit in anywhere. Without any use for them, there was little he could do but try to find someone else to take care of them. The castle just didn't have the resources to take care of nobodies. "I need to drop these pets off," he said, gesturing to the creatures behind him. Surely they could find better homes from here.

It had taken her all afternoon to finally round up the troublesome creatures. Normally, she found creatures easier to deal with than students, but today proved quite an exception. With a few forlorn feathers stuck in her hair, she marched down to the Saloon, eager to be rid of them. The sooner this was over with, the sooner she could get back to her research.

"Ah, hello," she said, awkwardly brushing some hair out of her mouth. Her hands were speckled with bite and scratch marks. "Sorry, I, ah, I have some creatures to surrender to you."

This whole spiel was really getting tiring; that girl just loved to shirk on the most basic of duties. Writing a ten page abstract on artificial learning was perfectly doable for Dolce, but a thirty minute trip to the saloon, he had come to find out, had no place in her schedule. This month was just a repeat of last-- realizing two hours before the shop closed that there were still useless critters running around (that Dolce didn't take them again) and dropping all his books and documents to run over here and do her job. Brilliant kid, but he wasn't sure how he'd rate her on responsibility.

"I'm here again," he groaned, "But this time with no eclairs to free me from this hell you call parenting." Technically speaking he wasn't her legal guardian, but with how often Alastair dropped her off there, he may as well be. Edmund handed the reigns attached to the animals to the man behind the counter, with a look of death in his eyes. He needed a coffee.

This time around, it wasn't Jakerz that appeared at the strange saloon. No, it was a young woman with auburn hair. He had told Xillia to go in his stead. However, as the woman guided three creatures toward the shop, she seemed to have some reservations about what she was doing. She could not stop herself from wondering what would become of them.

But she couldn't refuse Jakerz. He'd asked her to turn them over, so she was going to do it. She had to.
