Nice watch for sale here, only two greens! Don't get ripped off at the stores-- quality goods for sale here!

[ The barker on the street corner exudes a confidence in sales well beyond many children his age. Armed only with a tattered briefcase packed with odds and ends (jewelry, scarves, cufflinks and other such personal effects), the boy can be found on the corner all weekend or on sporadic bits of video to the network showcasing items. Some passerbys might even find their pockets a little lighter. Actually, does that watch look familiar, or maybe something else being peddled out of the small suitcase? Perhaps it just bares a close resemblance... ]

Earrings and necklaces for pretty ladies. Sure to impress!

[ Al's been aged down for the weekend to age nine. He might be small, but his penchant for less-than-scrupulous business practices remains ever strong. Replies will come from snorky.

Feel free to recognize anything in the briefcase, just let me know what it might be. c:

Someone teach this kid some manners]

[Ren's lived in and near cities for enough of her life to have a healthy caution of street hakwers. Normally she'd just walk quickly on by, but for some reason today she pauses, looking more at the kid than his wares]

Hawking stolen goods?
Aren't you a bit young for that?
Run along and play

[ Al raises his eyebrows at the stranger who takes the time to stop. He's running a business here and her chiding is killing the vibe. ]

I've gotta eat, don't I? If you're not buying, you're not helping me out.

If you need to eat
The Welcome Center has food
Why not get some there?

As for me buying
I do not buy stolen goods
Can you say these aren't?

[ He doesn't have a good answer for taking advantage of free food, so he ducks the question. Somehow it's not as appealing as stealing earning his own bite to eat. ]

They're my family's. Ma would sell 'em herself, but she's all laid up in bed.

[ Then another thought to redirect the conversation. ]

Do you always talk like that?
