Suckering for Suckers

Kaitlyn was trying to do everything she normally wasn't able to do before, now that she was on the island. That included joining the girl scout troupe that encompasses the orphanage where she worked. She knew that they were selling cookies and if she sold the most she would get the prettiest pink and purple bike she had ever seen. Which is why instead of sitting in front of the grocery store where there was cookies and candy bars inside she was at the police stations. After all didn't they like donuts and stuff?? She was actually making a killing, she had left and came back twice with new supplies, her troupe leader was so proud. Though some of the kids thought her rich parent were buying them all that was fine.

She saw a guy come up and she smiled "Good afternoon officer I'm selling cookies and candy on behave of Manta Carlo Toupe 4762 I'm a butterfly scout" She said batting her eyelashes and putting her most adorable face on. Please no see through the fascade of her just wanting a pretty bike, she never had one.

"Would you like to help us reach our goal to go the girl scout Jaboree?" She set her stuffed rabbit on his chair and held out the form for him to fill out.

@"sashi"

Kaitlyn smiled brightly when he filled out the form. She could count money but she could write very well. She also couldn't read names, but she was getting better at it. She also had a money counter and a calculator that drew to help her out. She didn't want any of the shadows cops trying to het over on her. If she was short she couldn't get the bike.

"Prize... there's a jubulee for the whole troop if we raise enough!" She said looking behind h and waiting for the people to be outta hearing range and even then she lowered a voice.

"A pretty pink and purple ten speed bike with wheels that look like rainbows. I'm about to sell my way into a free bike" She said sweetly, but the snicker was in her voice as she smiled brightly.

@"sashi"

"Three dollars" Kaitlyn said as soon the officers went back inside to finish their shifts and she was left on the sidewalk with Charlie. She didn't have a lot of time to sell cookies between school and curfew at the orphanage but she figured she could halt her bow selling to sell these cookies. She was very good at getting suckers to fall for her cuteness and buy things. It's something she learned back in France when she didn't want to spend the day in the orphanage but didn't have pocket money to buy anything that would warrant her staying outside.

"Yes, but that's just amount of cookies, the prizes for amount of money vary on sum and I'm hoping to get all the prizes. I need to get decorations and stuff for my room at the orphanage. They have a little candy piggy bank if you raise enough money"

She said showing Charlie the flyer detailing the prizes for amount of money raised and the flyer for selling the most cookies from her troop leader. She had a plan, and she was slowly getting there. There was still two weeks left and she was almost to her goal of raising enough money, she just had to make sure she was top seller.

"Hmmm, what do you want out of it?"

She asked suspiciously because even though she was only five and half she knew how people worked. They only helped you when they could get something in return. As much as she wanted to being trusting, being in front of a police station and all...her experience in life had taught her otherwise.


@"sashi"

Kaitlyn nodded as she took the flyer back she didn't need the flyer getting into the wrongs hands, her cover would be blown. Of course there was nothing wrong with getting incentives for selling things. Everyone did, they worked on commission, got employee of the month or a vacation to Hawaii. Kaitlyn just happened to be getting a ten speed bike pink and purple bike with sick wheels. Not that she even knew how to ride a bike but that was all a minor detail. She could learn once she had the bike in question, in her possession.


Kaitlyn studied him for a moment and then tilted her head, weighing her options. She was able to stay out past the shift change so she wouldn't be able to catch the officers coming in or going home. She also didn't think the Market was a good place. It was a good idea to get Help from the man but she just didn't trust good help for seemingly no reason.

"Okay, I'll accept your help. Also you should see me at my day job. I think the lady that passes the elementary school building had fifty of my bows and only four inches of hair. It's in the accent"

She basically bragged packing up her stuff and tucking it in the wagon so she could easily move to the next location. Regardless of whether or not she was crafty, she had a curfew. Unlike her previous guardians he seemed to actually pay attention to when she left and things. though she still did manage to get into trouble but that was mostly because she had the tendency to draw and then realize it was with one of her magic pens. Sometimes drawing a dinosaur that likes to eat math work in class...isn't the best thing to do with a magic pen that brings things to life.

"Okay lead the way"

@"sashi"

Kaitlyn had packed up all her stuff and drew a rope to keep all the stuff, carefully packed in her wagon. Of course her Monkey butlers weren't far away. She was still working out how to turn his girl scout thing into a profitable business for herself. Sure she sold things for her scout troop but all that hard work for a few prizes? She was sure that she could make much more money if she somehow turned this whole badge earning thing into a profit. She could charge kids to help them earn their badges...then again that was wrong. Though business did it all time, offering workshops and stuff for money to better themselves. Though she was sure that it was all a scam, most late night special business shows were all scams.

Kaitlyn carefully walked up to the portal and studied it, she knew that almost everyone on the island had a special power so it would go to reason that Charlie would have a power. However she wasn't sure she trusted the stranger yet and stepping through a portal was...a bit of a trust leap. For all she knew it was all an illusion and the portal actually lead to some alternate dimension. Still she did recognize the part of town and she was sure that maybe she could draw a portal with her marker and then re-step through it...after all everything she drew came to life right?

Taking a deep breath she stepped through the portal and pulled her wagon beside her, she didn't want to lose her merchandise. She found a relatively big area and began to set up her booth, or rather her monkey butlers started to set up her booth because she was lazy.
