She usually did now that Marshal was in charge of the Hardhold.  Thanks to the personal work she put into making and maintain her own wardrobe—and a trim, silky young body—Jessi came across as a little bit magical in all the grime and soot.  It was really just regular exercise and extensive attention to hygiene.<br/><br/>The savvyhead seemed pretty laid back, moving from stall to stall, examining trade goods, greeting neighbors and talking with the girl who accompanied her.  On the other hand, she didn't have much to truly fear with an honest to gods longsword across her back, a hunting rifle at her hip, and a living wrecking ball in the form of a masked woman at her side.<br/><br/>“You know, Mega,” she said softly, “I've got seriously mixed feelings about the Devil Dogs.  Their new leader?  I trust Marshal implicitly, but a lot of those guys have nothing but Marshal's heavy hand—and maybe people like us—stopping them from reverting to tyrannical marauders.”<br/><br/>She sighed and pushed on through the market crowd, “Let's think about something happier.  I've got a commission from Scarlet today, and I think I want to make a bunch of them while I'm setting up for it.”<br/><br/><em>Wonder if you know who Scarlet wants me to make this for?  I'll let her keep it a surprise if I can.</em><br/><br/>“I'm really just looking for thin sheets of stainless steel.  Scrap will work if there's a substantial bit of it that isn't corroded.  Rubber I can shape would help too.”
