Description
Nothing keeps Rover down for long! Not even a ridiculous mistake! This is a sequel to:www.deviantart.com/chill13/art…
I added a simple city background on this one. I don't know if it added much or not.

LOL, why didn't I expect that? 
And that "PERFECT" panel cracked me up. XD

LOL! Knowing him he probably won't.

Yuck...Flyspur, remind him, please.
You're welcome! ^.^

Oh, he will. He's not afraid to tell Rover what to do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is hilarious! Rover always knows how to make a buck out of any situation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is his greatest talent.

I thought the shell was going to turn to dust and blow away when Rover knocked it. I doubt that would matter to him, though. He'd still find a way to sell it!
I hope you and your loved ones are doing fine during the coronavirus outbreak. I'm doing okay and managed to borrow a computer after my tablet cord gave out. I don't know when I'll get to borrow it again, so hugs to you!

Ha ha! Yep. He would have still tried to sell it! No doubt. Probably in little jars.
I'm doing fine.
Oh, man. Can you buy a new cord?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Or how about those cute bottle necklaces? But, let's save that for after Amaril and the Jimmadi are rescued from that jeweler.
I'm relieved to here that.
My friend ordered a new cord for me, but it hasn't come in yet. At least I can jump on her computer while she's doing errands.

That's not a bad idea either!
Oh good!! I'm sure you will get it soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Lol!! Called it! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha ha. You called it then!
Nope. They have no particular attatchment to them. Unless it's a mother keeping her kid's skin's like baby teeth or something.

A mother keeping it like baby teeth... that... oddly indeed makes sense, for a species like this....
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
He certainly is always looking for a good trade.

Then Njeela being super disgusted by it and insisting that he keep that shell as far away from her as possible. Her own molted scales are one thing, but somebody else's shed shell? Out of the question! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh...then he might put it in the living room just to bug her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No pun intended, I'm sure!
She would be pretty annoyed at that. Who knows, maybe he'd even move it around every so often so it follows her around. It's all juvenile fun and games until she gets ornery enough to smash that thing

Yep. Always! That trader part of him is always in high gear, looking out for a potential customer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A true salesman knows that anything is for sale. As long as you know how to work those suckers...I mean, 'customer.'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HA HA HA. Yes. Exactly! Rover is pretty good about turning trash into profit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yep. One plan fails and he jumps right into the next.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yep! Rover's true talent is getting something for nothing and making a profit on it. Since his ultimate goal is finding humans he deosn't stick around one place for long which means he meets a LOT of species and people. "One man's trash is another man's treasure" is his motto. He started trading on Jssfloon with literal trash. He knows the right pitch to the right person and he can sell the gum on the bottom of his shoe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. I bet the area of space my characters are in would annoy him. Everyone knows what they're dealing with so it's hard to export trash and make treasure from it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. This works mostly because of the copious amounts of species in my universe who tend to value different things.
Although, if people weren't really doing it he might be able to find some markets...or create some. Like bits of those coral trees would make great decorations. So would some shed feathers from that snake creature. As long as he was selling them not on their native planets. Considering how long it takes to travel in your verse I can't imagine it being TOO common.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trading between planets is somewhat common. (Remember that even now, cargo ships take a couple weeks to cross the ocean, and we trade a lot.) Rover's main advantage would be that he'd be able to move faster between planets to get stuff traded.

True. But there are always little niches to fill that weren't there before. Think of the guy that started selling pet rocks. Succulant plants weren't really a big thing until recently. They have always existed but someone started the trend.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. He would probably be trying to do that a lot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And, of course if he was selling normal stuff he would always be talking up that his product is somehow surperior to the same exact thing everyone else is selliing. Probably not that he would be selling it for more, just that they would rather deal with him than the next guy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And I bet he'd be smuggling. Klate would certainly steer him toward that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, yeah. He does a little bit of that already. But he would be all over it, knowing so many pirates and all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Flyspur would probably be like, "We should really do background checks on these guys."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rover shrugs and rattles a bag of currency. "Ah. They paid us. Pretty good, I might add. Sides, ain't likely to see 'em again anyhow. What would be the point?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Knowing if we're giving supplies to ruthless criminals."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rover rolled his eyes. "It ain't like we're sellin' weapons."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Flyspur just flicked his tail.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could certainly see this conversation happening.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! This is a perfect conclusion! Rover doesn’t miss a beat.
