>>6115203>warehouse.>warehouse?>yeah warehouse>there house?>huh?The merchant breaths deep, and then clarifies, pointing off into the distance of the front entrance, and beyond the freeway
>there houseAnd motioning with his thumb towards your quarters
>there hotel>why are you talking like that?>i thought you wanted to>no, i don't wan't to>suit yourself, I'm easyAfter arriving in the back, the warehouse is in shambles, a real mess of mismatched piles, and none of the shelves being practically used for any purpose, as all the goods are spilling out into the isle, and most of the cardboard packaging is bowed out and starting to fall apart. The lighting is not properly lighting at all, moreover, and the whole room, a several thousand yards long, is mostly shadows.
>are you sure this place is safe?>oh no, it's certainly not safe. That's why i keep it locked up. In fact I think there might be some ghouls in here some place or other, but I'm not sure. I can't confirm that. That's just a rumour, that part about the ghouls.>who started the rumour, just ask them.>well, I started the rumour, and that's what i'm saying, is, I don't know what's true.>not very helpful>well, if you get frieghtened, or injured, here's the exit.He points up to the door, unremarkable and unmarked.
>so what is the job exactly?>organize the stuff in here. I suspect a great deal of this is trash now.He picks up a broken picture frame, made of fiberglass and plaster
>see this i made in china. It's industrial waste, but women would put this in their homes and pay money for it. The credict card card company's money or their husband's. >are you joking with this?>joking? No, sadly, a greater portion of the economy was precipitated by this wasteful expenditure than by any other category of consumer spending, arguably bigger than automobile purchases.>why did they do it?>depression, probably. They got a thrill from buying, and so they'd redo the interior decor of the home constantly. You remember the internet?You leer at the merchant incredulously.
>well, why do you suppose that all the content about home decor and automotive customization and apocalypse prepping was all at once everywhere and free? It's just advertising. And then they'd buffer the advertising with tertiary advertising. It's all sales, and that's all it will ever be.>what does that have to do with organizing this warehouse?>you need to sort the wheat from the chaff. Most of the junk in here is posters and shitty organizer trays and consumable paper products for "home decor", or else there might be some underwear and other junk. HOWEVERHe emphasizes this word so that you can almost see the bold face print.
>buried in this junk, there may also be food, fuel, lighters, matches, weapons, salvageable electronics, lightbulbs, cleaning products, toilet paper, or substitute, any number of things. So search for good stuff in this trash, and try not to get hurt.>[continued]
