To facilitate the spread of supplies, requested goods and goods available for trade may be listed here. ALFIE SOLOMONS may be contracted as broker for an additional fee to be negotiated by the parties involved. Brokerage services may include:

Negotiation of the trade deal
Enforcement of the pre-arranged terms of the trade deal
Delivery of goods

Once an agreement has been reached, the broker will require a small nonrefundable deposit, to be paid as soon as possible. Full payment will be due once the trade has been completed.

Participants must be aware of the risk involved in trade in Norfinbury, including but not limited to significant delays caused by unforeseen town activities and the disappearance of trade goods to due the deaths of one or more participants. The broker will be responsible for making a good faith effort to see a deal done, but cannot give a 100% guarantee of success. The initial deposit is nonrefundable regardless of the outcome of the deal, except in cases of negligence on the part of the broker. If a trade fails or is cancelled for any reason, final payment will not be required. Purposeful failure to uphold any part of an agreed-upon brokerage deal will result in future blacklisting from brokerage services.

The broker will not act as an enforcer for deals made by parties who do not hire him as broker from the onset, and no protections or guarantees will be given in these cases.

[OOC: WELCOME TO TRADEAPALOOZA. As you can probably tell, this is an IC trade organization post and brokerage service run by Alfie Solomons. IC discussion of any kind is totally welcome - just make sure it's under the right header! On an OOC level, it's like the player-placed items page in that it's an independent player-run thing and not managed by the mods. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me OOCly at

ihdreniel or through PM!

2/9/17 ADDENDUM: Since Alfie has been outed as the guy who stole House's supplies and characters might no longer trust him to see their supply lists/broker trades, I'm just adding a reminder that comments to this post can be filtered from him!]

[Sherlock, that's an awkward question. John doesn't exactly have room to talk about wanting to keep it nice for a girl if she needs it. John sighs and picks through his pack before coming out with the bra. It's red and lacy and does, indeed, have an underwire.]

Don't destroy it. We might still be able to use the fabric for something, too. Have you got something to cut with?

Then you'll agree to come alone too, I'm sure.

Understood.

She's not going to deal with someone anonymous. Better luck next time, mate.

[Though he seriously doubts many other people are going to be interested in something so shady-sounding.]

It's not really my colour.

[He smirks and holds his hand out for it. Come on, John, give it.]

The fabric is too little to be of use, the wire is the important piece. You can take it off your list of trade items, I'll have it.

Earmuffs, Sherlock. Davesprite was using a bra for them. [He sighs before handing over the bra, then pulling out his scalpel and offering that to Sherlock.]

This comes back to me. I need it more than you do. Be careful taking the wire out. [A pause.] And I'm sure you'd look lovely in a red bra. Talk of the town. Should I tell everyone you're the one who's traded for it?

Cheap, machine stitched edges, a lack of double stitching around the underwire channel, and a thin, poor-quality lace. I think not, John, if I were going to wear a bra then it would be of significantly higher quality than this.

[Don't ask how he knows about bras. His time with Janine was trying in more ways than one.]

You can tell them if you like.

[He takes the scalpel and digs it along one seam, opening it up to take out the springy wire beneath, before starting on the second cup.]

[There's a sudden vision John has of Sherlock in ladies underwear and the doctor slaps a hand over his face and groans. Where's some mental bleach when you need it?]

Describe a gruesome crime scene to me. Now, please? In excruciating detail.

[He blinks over in bemusement for a second or two, before his brain pieces together the issue.]

Behave, John. Honestly.

Honestly, yourself!

[Think of the lady in pink. Think of the little children who'd been kidnapped by Sherlock's look-alike.

John pulls out his tablet to go and make a change to his list of offers.]

You'd look terrible in a bra, whatever color or quality.

[There. Just having that out there.]

Please note the bra no longer has its underwire. The fabric is still available, however, and might be useful as earmuffs in the absence of other options.

i'm sure you're delusional if you think i'll actually trust you enough to come alone

Here's what I have:
-Can opener
-Bifocals
-Binoculars
-Magnifying glass
-Stuffed dolphin
-Slippers
-Grabber
-Book ("Coping with Memory Loss")
-Wire hanger, bent into a long claw
-door knob
-bobby pins
-Clipboard
-note pad
-scotch tape
-drill bits
-popsicle molds
-Skull model (parts of the brain fit together like puzzle pieces)
-Fridge Magnet
-Aluminum foil
-Twist ties

I could really use some ear muffs, or boots in a large size. If you're looking to build something and could use some of my smaller items, though, I might be willing to leave what you need somewhere. No trade necessary, in that case.

Deal!

But are you sure you don't want more for it, it seems like I'm getting the better deal here?

I don't know if you think your addiction is funny, but it's really not.

[Someone is worried about you, Dr. House.]

I don't even know how alcohol might react with those pills.

Then it's probably for the best that I lack the necessary physical need for the support of one.

[His eyebrows stay raised for a moment, before he just starts laughing.]

Drill bits. Fridge magnet. Aluminium foil. Bobby pins. Coat hanger.

[Damn.

Well, he's not getting what he wants, so he hangs up without another word.]

I'll bring Tifa, then.

The clipboard also has a metal spring I can remove, if you'd like.

Where are you, and what are you making? Something to open up the morgue lockers?

[See, this is why he likes Gabriel. Intuitive and to the point.]

Accurately surmised.

I'm north of the ice tunnels, directly west along the ice wall. I will be heading back through the hospital shortly.

[ Sylar smiles. See, he's not entirely useless without his ability. (Just mostly.) ]

I'm in the southeast corner of the entrance area right now. I'll get us heading back towards the hospital. If we don't meet you there, I'll leave the items in the admin office for you.

A replacement for Mr. Suresh already? That is swift work, Gabriel.

[Should he be concerned that there is a new potential victim?]

[There's a beat as that sinks in, then John finds himself giggling along.]

Stop that! Don't be funny when I'm annoyed, you git. [It makes staying annoyed more difficult.]

Doctor Suresh, he was a geneticist just like his father. And no, Al's hardly a replacement.

Alphonse suggested that we travel together after I told him Mohinder had died. I didn't see any reason to say no. He's remarkably optimistic for someone who's been here since Day 1.
