IC trade organization post

[devoutish]

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!]

[wilsonsheart]

Offering prescription write-ups, one-time or ongoing. No preexisting medical condition required at the time of request.

[theurgy]

so you'll give anyone a prescription for anything?

[wilsonsheart]

Theoretically, yes. I'd have to make up a good story when I put in the request, of course.

[Which means this service could be very short lived if the admin realizes that Amber's trying to con her.]

[theurgy]

neat, but i have two questions
one, isn't this a shitty idea when supplies are low?
two, what's the catch?

[wilsonsheart]

1. If someone is too worried about running out, then I'm going to go ahead and assume they'll abstain from making a request.

2. I have an ability to supply, and I'd like to use it for bartering. There's no other catch.

[She might be a cutthroat bitch but she's not going to ask you to sign your soul over, kid.]

[theurgy]

[But what if she did?]

so what are you asking for? give me an example

[Okay, it's been a night. It's been a night of far too many emotions, but this just pisses John right off.]

What the hell do you think you're doing? Medicine isn't candy. You don't just hand it out to anyone without a reason or make up stories for it. We are living in a resource-limited world. D'you not get that?

[wilsonsheart]

Of course I get that. It's the whole point.

[Supply and demand, Doctor Watson.]

[jumpthegun]

The point is that you are a doctor, not a drug dealer. Start acting like one.

[wilsonsheart]

Fortunately for me, I have a talent for multi-tasking.

[She's pretty sure nothing that she has to say for herself is going to make him any less angry with her. Figures he probably realizes that she's (one of) Sherlock's suppliers. Especially now. Is it really worth it to try and make a case for herself?]

[jumpthegun]

Dr. Volakis, this is dangerous, it's irresponsible, and it's bloody unethical. You don't know any of these people's medical histories. You don't know if they're addicts. You're going to create an addiction problem, and the last thing we need here is that. What in the hell would possess you to do this?

Has the rolling repeat of morphine been issued?
Do future requests need to be legal narcotics?

text; private

[wilsonsheart]

Yes. You should find them in the pharmacy. And no, they don't.

[Might as well test Eve's limits.]

[howdull]

[She's been discreet so far and he believes she will continue to be, it's in her best interests.]

Amphetamines. Cocaine, ideally, others will do.

text; private cw: drug use

[wilsonsheart]

Assuming that the admin is unwilling to treat your MN Poisoning with illegal substances, would you be interested in alternatives? Ritalin?

[Yes, she knows you probably don't want this for MN Poisoning. But, still, the admin can read private conversations, so best to have her receipts as clean as possible. She can claim her conversation was Cassel was a joke so long as her actual patients seem to be asking her for medication for legitimate reasons. And Ritalin certainly mimics the same high as cocaine when smashed to a powder instead of taken orally. Just a suggestion. He'd likely know his own preferences.]

text; private cw: drug use

[howdull]

Cocaine isn't illegal in certain medical circumstances.

[Okay, maybe in a different form than he wants it, but still.]

I suppose Ritalin would do.

[ninjainviolet]

You're joking, right? What kind of doctor offers that for a trade?

[wilsonsheart]

One with ambitions.

Sorry. I haven't quite figured out how to link IC Inboxes to game labels in gmail

[ninjainviolet]

What kind of ambitions could you have to want to help people destroy themselves and others?

[ Because you know, low supplies, and those needing the meds not being able to get them. ]

no problem!

[wilsonsheart]

None, because that's not what I'm doing. You're a rather dramatic sort of person, aren't you?

Thanks!

[ninjainviolet]

Are you sure about that? Giving people the drugs they want without question or an actual need? What happens to them and everyone else when everything runs out?

[ A pause. ]

I've been here since Day 1. It kinda gets to you after a while.

[exequies]

How generous of you! A bottle of laudanum for the Undertaker would be fantastic.

text; private

[wilsonsheart]

[Oh thank god, this one isn't illegal. Even if it is a bit of a dubious substance. She can actually ask for it without the admin straight up shutting her down.]

That should be doable. Are you experiencing aches, pains, coughing, or digestive troubles?

[Just say yes. For posterity's sake.]

[exequies]

Oh yes. I've been suffering a nasty head cold for days.

[He's got ya covered, Ms. Amber.]

sorry I totally forgot I hadn't replied to this

[wilsonsheart]

Wonderful. I'd be happy to request a prescription to ease your symptoms and I'm sure the Admin will be understanding. What are you proposing as a trade?
