[Barbara is at her desk again, though this time it's clear, and a makeshift banner, made from taped notebook pages, is hanging from the front

it reads "GOTHAM FOOD DRIVE", and below, in smaller letters, "Please donate your non-perishables to a devastated metropolis"

beside the desk are several empty bins

Barbara is sitting behind it with a pen and clipboard, looking warily hopeful]

[Braxiatel notices Barbara first, and then the sign, and he frowns, looking to Barbara again] I'd be happy to help, if you don't mind products from the 27th century, but what happened?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

As long as they're edible, I'm not too picky.

[wry smile] We got hit with an earth quake. 7.5 on the Richter scale. Then the government decided the city wasn't worth rebuilding, and declared it a No Man's Land - no people or products allowed in or out.

[Braxiatel pauses, as if to measure the resonance of this news with some memory. Then--]

How much can you take?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

...As much as my apartment can hold, theoretically. But I'll need to give - and barter - gradually. My neighbourhood is the safest it's been so far, but I still don't need any suspicion.

[collector]

That's good, because I'd rather not start a galactic food shortage by buying up all the stock at once. If you can give me an order, I can have whatever you need in, oh, twelve hours? Maybe twenty. It's been a bad day for interplanetary flight.

[Satoshi sets down a stack of instant noodles and canned soups] Are these good?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[grins] They're perfect, thank you. [notes them on her clipboard!]

[ex_fatalist246]

[he nods] Are there other supplies you need?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

...Well, anything medical is always needed. Batteries are in high demand, and flash lights, coats, primitive weapons.

[ex_fatalist246]

[considering his resources] What type of weapon?

[Dino has a small armful of cans that he went back home to grab. He starts to bring them over, but one can manages to fall off the top. It lands right in front of his feet, and he steps on it before he can stop himself. Dino promptly falls flat on his face, cans going everywhere.]
...Maybe I shouldn't have grabbed so many at once.

[glances down, an amused smile suppressing laughter before she pushes back and rolls herself around the desk]

Maybe not, but it's appreciated. [leans forward to offer a hand]

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

If only I was able to offer anything...{she wouldn't give jack}

Ah, but devastated by what, if I may ask?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[understanding nod]

A very bad earthquake.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

How unlucky that fate decided to frown upon your city, then.

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[wry laugh] Fate never seemed to like Gotham that much. And now we're cut off from the country - that one's purely a human decision, though.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

Cut off from the country?

[hostclubmoekko.livejournal.com]

What a noble gesture! To counteract destruction with generosity is absolutely lovely!

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[faint smile] Well, I'll probably be needing some, too.

[hostclubmoekko.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! What do you need!? I would be glad to provide!

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

Well - anything canned or dried. Raw nuts, seeds and tubers are good, too. Chocolate and granola bars. Juice boxes.

[just happens to be walking by, and glances at the sign] Non-perishables? Hang on a mo'. [he drops off the Plane, then returns, apparently empty-handed...until he starts pulling things out of his pockets. He fills up a couple of the bins with plenty of nutritious non-perishable goods] Think that ought to do it for now!

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[blinks] Huh. Those are big pockets. ...Thank you.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[grins] Bigger on the inside! And no need to thank me, wasn't any trouble at all. [pauses] I'm the Doctor, by the way, nice to meet you!

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[grins back] Oliver's friend. I'm Barbara. ...I've met another one of you, too, but she was a woman.
