the night market

[inthenightmods]

THE NIGHT MARKET: PURCHASE PAGE

The Night Market is OPEN. They will close up shop again at the end of the day on April 12.
(All purchases must be made while the market is open! Backdated purchases won't be accepted.)
When the Night Market is in town, players can have their characters make purchases through this page. All transactions will need to be logged here, though you're welcome to thread out the purchase on the visit log.

Accepted currencies at the Night Market include: Building and scrap materials, old tablets, old lanterns, captured forest spirits, torches, information, and most importantly... Plutonium. Of course, attempting to barter is always an option... but these currencies are your best bet for dealing with the various vendors offered by the Night Market. Things like building/scrap material and info can be acquired by any character, even the new ones! Same with torches, though you'll want to be careful, lying to Rastus.

If your character and the vendor can't agree on a deal or if the vendor shuts down the purchase outright and you'd like to pursue the issue further, that will need to be done in a proper NPC thread on the Night Market log.

Finally, if you're looking to chat with the Night Market vendors for any reason, you'll need to do that through a proper NPC thread on the visit log. This page is only for transactions, similar to the permanent item requests page. That said, your character may still use information as a currency through this page; it will just be a flat exchange as opposed to a conversation.

Purchases are not finalized until approved by the vendor! Keep in mind that the vendors of the Night Market can, uh, be assholes? The bulk of what the Night Market sells is fun, bonus crap! You don't need this stuff to succeed in the game, so the NPC vendors are not always designed to be forgiving or cooperative. In short: You get what you get, and sometimes you get nothing for your trouble. IC failure doesn't have to be OOC disappointment!

•••
Here are the vendors and their inventories for the current Night Market visit:

PLUTO

• Special orders - Pluto can procure items just like Rastus, but she can get you specific goods from homeworlds. The more specific the request, the more it will cost. Items ordered through Pluto will arrive on the next ferry.


• Heals - A borrowed gun-looking device allows Pluto to heal even the most grievous of injuries. This item doesn't belong to her, though, so... results may vary

CATHERINE

• Confession - In the place of a standard vendor's stall is a small, modest confessional. Catherine keeps the door open on the priest's side, sitting inside it while she waits for her customers. Feel interested in airing out your grievances? Well, it might not be an official sort of purge, but hop into the curtained compartment and she'll give you a non-judgmental ear to listen. Just don't ask for advice; she's not here to give it. But if you want to pray to her, well, she won't object to being treated like a Goddess.


• A brief reunion - Just want to see someone's face again? A friend, a family member, someone you miss more than anyone else you've ever known? It seems that this mysterious lady has a knack for sensing who it is you desire to see again the most. Exactly how this works, she's not inclined to share, and unfortunately there's no real way to provide you with who it is she's able to show you... but a few meaningful moments could mean some peace of mind for some people.


• Adult toys - A padlocked trunk full of specialty toys and supplies (and apparent torture devices?) to tide over any individual who would consider themselves properly kinky (or perhaps just a tad adventurous in their intimate exploits). Anyone over the age of eighteen is free to browse the wares, but the stall's keeper will keep it locked for anyone who died before reaching a legal age of adulthood. Sorry, kids. Maybe when you've been dead for a few more years.

VARIKS, THE LOYAL

• Restraints & prison supplies - Cages, shackles, handcuffs, chains, rope. Want to keep a forest spirit (or fellow resident) contained and restrained? He's got you covered. Maybe it's for their own good, he may be the Kell of the House of Judgement but he won't question your motives too hard. What he has on display is mostly person-sized restraints and smaller cages for trapping forest spirits to use as currency elsewhere in the Night Market. But if you need something specific he may be able to accommodate.


• Lantern shells - Tired of carrying the same lantern around day after day? Change how it looks with a lantern shell. The "shell" looks like a shimmery 12-sided die in various colors but touch it to your lantern and it'll be absorbed and change your lantern into a specific color / shape / size, etc. They can be removed at will and return your lantern to it's default look. Get multiple shells and have a different lantern every day of the week! You're only as fashionable as your Ghost. Er. Lantern.


• ACCEPTED CURRENCIES - He'll take all the basics, with a preference for lanterns or lantern pieces, and also secrets. Secrets can be about yourself, others, places, the Wild Hunt... The juicier the secret the more valuable it is to him. He probably won't tell Pluto. Probably.

JOHN SILVER

• Ready-made meals - This extremely personable vendor will greet you jovially and invite you up in a very thick, very pirate-y accent— though it's probably not him that draws you up so much as the mouth-watering smell of cooking food. He has a number of ready-made meals, but he can also whip up something special if you have a specific request. And when he says specific, he MEANS specific... looking at those of you with Certain Dietary Requirements.
  
  Bonza Beast Stew: What's a Bonza Beast? Who knows! Where did he find one on this planet? You'll never find out, because it's a secret recipe. Have a bowl of this hearty stew, though, and you'll find that you'll be pleasantly warm and happy for a good long while.
  
  Wild Rosemary Quiche: Vegetarian and beautifully fragrant. Consuming this will make you particularly nimble for a while.
  
  Fish & Chips: What is says on the tin and possibly the best you've ever had. Wonder what that fish is...? The only side effect is that you have an almost insatiable desire to go swimming. Might want to be careful with that one...
  
  Steamed Buns: A meaty option and the veggie option. Both buns will increase good fortune for a limited period of time.
  
  Apple Rose Puffs: Sweet and delicate, they will also leave you smelling sweetly of flowers for hours afterward.
  
  Baklava: Nutty and sweet, after eating this you feel compelled to say whatever kind things you've been feeling or have been on your mind.
  
  Moonshine: No side effects, unless you count getting completely blasted very quickly.
  
  You can also purchase ready-made packages of ingredients with a written recipe included to take home and cook for later! Except the Moonshine. That you'll have to buy directly.


• Poisons - Ask the right questions, and you can get access to Silver's under-the-counter stash of goods. "Poisons" here is used loosely, as it includes concentrated doses of all sorts of concoctions. This includes: deadly poisons of varying intensities, poisons that induce sleep, poisons that will warm you from the inside or that will give you a bone-deep chill, poisons that are actually venom you can put on a blade, etc. All poisons are good for 2 doses, so use them wisely.


• Repairs - Nothing too complicated, mind! Silver is good with mechanical fixes, but not with anything too delicate.


• ACCEPTED CURRENCIES - Silver accepts all the regular kinds of currencies, but he does have a preference for gossip (which he loves), information, and building/scrap materials. He will also gleefully take recipes your character might know and ingredients that have been foraged or brought from the ferry as a form of payment. Keep in mind that the more you ask for, the more you will have to pay— and those poisons don't come cheap.

DR. SCHICKSAL'S HINT-O-MATIC

• AMA - Does your character have any burning questions they just need to have answered? Dr. Schicksal's Hint-O-Matic is a phonebooth-looking device with a screen prompting the user to input a question. When a question is asked, Dr. Schicksal's Hint-O-Matic will spout out an answer! Questions can be typed in via keypad or spoken aloud, and answers will be automatically read aloud for characters that can't read the screen. These answers are always true, no matter what the question, but this information comes at a cost—your character will be blessed with a random status effect for the remainder of the month. We will check permissions posts before issuing a status effect, and please keep in mind that these effects stack! 😃 Each question you ask it (or say at it, rhetorically or otherwise) will "cost" one status effect. And, yes, you can literally ask anything.

Please keep in mind that all purchases must be made while the market is open! Backdated purchases won't be accepted. However, as long as transactions are started ICly while the market is open, you're welcome to belatedly submit those transactions to the purchase page. Please do your best to log the purchases as close to the window as possible, though!

player: marzi
character: bruce wayne
purchase: a mini vacation i guess
offer: ....light from his own lantern

[worthallthis]

player: Gail
character: Bucky
purchase: A new armored vest, preferably as close to the old one as possible, showing the half-heartedly attempted-to-repair original for reference.
offer: Intel about the spirits (it'll be the bit about spirit hierarchy, how the green-eyes boss the others around, though they won't share the actual intel until it's agreed she'll take it), origami animals, some leftover fabric scraps from when they were attempting to make things out of the costumes, and/or a clip of bullets. Or some combination of the above.

[therewillbeorder]

player: Hebe
character: Armitage Hux
purchase: GPS coordinates
offer: Information he got from dropping in on the town hall. Mostly truthful, he's not sharing his own experience at the Lighthouse though.

dw why are you cursing me.... take tEN

[sunborne]

player: Melly!
character: Daylight vis Lornlit.
purchase: A lantern charm of any type. Seed packets of Amora viomnia, or Soldiers' Kisses, a rare type of brilliant blue flowers native only to his world.
offer: His personal experience during the Dreamer Events, specifically the fact he was in the past of 1979 and possibly experienced what was last day of Beacon having light. He's more than happy to flash the sketch he made of the World Eater as proof that he's not kidding.

[sauntered_downward]

player: MJ
character: Crowley
purchase: GPS Coordinates, and a book of prophecies from his homeworld
offer: Intel from the town hall and during the Defenders/Dreamers event

[notthatjason]

player: erica
character: Jason Grace
purchase: Heal (mostly his broken arm, but if he can get the bites healed he wouldn't mind that either, but those are not hindering his ability like the broken arm is)
offer: He had hauled back some tools when he went to the scrapyard with Bruce and Vanitas. So he'd probably offer any of those that weren't useful for boat repairs.

If he needs more, he could also offer information. Not from the Dreamer/Defender thing (he figures most people are going that route), but he could discuss information from a few months ago.

[mollymocked]

player: Chris
character: Mollymauk Tealeaf
purchase: GPS coordinates
offer: His take on the Dreamer event, though he can't really describe the Bishop since he was BLIND, but he'll tell her all about the fact that the spirits were stealing body parts before his group were all EATEN.

[equinoctials]

player: Dubs
character: Riku
purchase: Tell him where we can find more housing.
offer: He can offer information that does not come from a town hall meeting; he can describe the dual-wielding spirit Vanitas and Riku fought during the recent event, its fighting abilities, it and its weapons' appearances, etc. It's notable for the fact that unlike the more "natural"/bestial spirits, this one seemed more like a self-propelled marionette or automaton.

[webshoots]

player: laura
character: peter parker
purchase: gps co-ordinates; (lmao defunct) webware
offer: peter's been here from the start, so he's willing to provide a rundown of everything they've been through and the first trip out to the lighthouse (rip winters) as well as a rundown on the most recent bulletins and that the spirits dropped a lantern off with the lighthouse keeper.

[callada]

player: Lauren
character: Rosinante
purchase: Newspapers from home (1 or 2 is fine) from whatever's going on there now after his death.

character: Coraline Li
purchase: Heals
offer: Information/a secret???? She's floundering tbh.

[originallutece]

player: Kit
character: Rosalind Lutece

character: Rhys
purchase: A froyo machine
offer: He'll offer to teach her a lot of secrets on how to hack things . . . or he'll utilize his echo eye to analyze something for her . . . does that . . . work . . . please he misses froyo so much . . . .

[unpredict]

player: Jade.
character: Kol Mikaelson.
purchase: His Daylight Ring so he can walk in the sun JUST IN CASE IT HAPPENS. That dream got him a little Spooked.
offer: He's brought a metal pipe and can quickly bring her more things, like screws, hammers, etc. and if her crew needs any help carrying things, he's got two arms and super strength. He's got no commitments during the entire market tbh.

player: Maniette
character: Fjord
purchase: Wisdom lantern charm, and a second charm as a freebie as discussed

DR. SCHICKSAL'S HINT-O-MATIC

[inthenightmods]

MICHELLE

[bigbooks]

[scarsolderthanyou]

player: Gail
character: Stone
purchase: He wants a weapons rack, capable of holding a wide variety of blades and a bow/quiver, decorated with wolves and dragons. He will be willing to model as the dragon if she wants, but he has no actual idea what a wolf is so she's on her own for that one.
offer: Up to three (3) stories from his Raksuran court's history, provided she gives him a blank book or a really long scroll, written in his culture's extremely flowery almost pictographic script. It will be large print, cuz he don't see to well, hence needing her to provide enough paper. He will also throw in a flight around the village, in his hands, if she seems excited by the whole "dragon" thing.

[paletteswap]

player: Sydney
character: Kuai Liang
purchase: He'd actually like a second lantern. It's for his room, not to carry around, something like these but really anything will do. It's paper so fairly large because he's going to stick a torch in it for light and doesn't want it to burn to a crisp (assuming it would catch anyway). He has zero personal items and his plain room is starting to get a little depressing.
offer: He's offering some of the building supplies that he, Rosinante and Ambrose found on their expedition. A small amount of lumber, or some bricks.

Re: MICHELLE

[sauntered_downward]

player: MJ
character: Crowley
purchase: A working record player
offer: Crowley has one book of Love Poems

[rhyses]

player: Kit
character: Rhys Strongfork
purchase: Can he have a gun made with paper? With little paper bullets? Will that do anything? i mean he wants it regardless
offer: He'll steal a book for her from the library . . . it's way harder than it needs to be. The librarian's mad.

player: Amy
character: Buffy Summers
purchase: A baseball bat in the colors white, blue, and orange.
offer: 2 trashy romance novel paperbacks

AARAVOS
