Abram was new in town really and didn't have much to do or any place to go. He had found himself meandering through various parts of the town and found himself in what could be called the local tourist trap. There wasn't much to the place as far as Abram was concerned but it was interesting all the same. It wasn't like he was going to buy anything he had some money to his name and had a room of his own to sleep if for the time that he was there in Mercy which was unknown, but if he was going to actually make a living he was going to need more money and soon.
He needed to find work of some sort. The small sleep town was clearly starting to boom and it seemed to hold promise even if there weren't any new construction jobs going on at the moment, though he might be able to weasel his way into working as a set builder for whatever movie was being filmed there and causing the town to explode. He didn't know much of anything about it and didn't notice any of it until he came into town.
Abram wasn't the sort to get into current news or pop culture. He followed sports well enough but even then he couldn't say what athlete was getting ready to sign where and which one had just been hit in a drug bust. He just knew teams and how they were doing. If a certain player vanished it was no difference to him it was just team against team to him, who did better than the others.
Of course sports and construction work wasn't all that there was to Abram he was also quite good with mechanics fixing his bike a couple of times and fixing a few mechanical problems for others. On occasion when cash was really tight the problem he fixed was a problem he caused but really he was a man who needed money and it was a person who was willing to give it to him. Most people were too rich for their own good anyway. Really Abram's biggest expense was buying a beer or two in the evenings.
Maybe he should break something just to get his name out about the town a bit as a mechanic. He debated it as he perused the shop picking up a cheap nick-knack that was well over priced and setting it back down. He hoped that maybe in his walking and exploring he would hear of a job that he could do or find a sucker willing to pay him for something another. It was just a matter of a bit of know how and patience.
You are free to GM him breaking a nick-knack with a bit of rough handling or him bumping into your character, even stepping on a foot is fine.
