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!]

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

Edited 2016-12-22 16:02 (UTC)

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

[Might as well test Eve's limits.]

[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.

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.]

Edited 2016-12-24 07:28 (UTC)

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.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, what are you offering in return? The morphine was free, but this one I'll be trading for.

[That's the whole point of this, after all. Naturally, if the Admin says no or something else cancels the prescription, the trade's off. But until then, she's not going to waste her breath if there's no cause to.]

[He can, of course, appreciate her ambition and self preservation skills.]

You don't want anything other than personal advancement and connections. I will allow you to assist me with an experiment when a suitable one comes around.

[He can't see it, but Amber raises an eyebrow. Well that's bold.]

That's true in most cases, sure. Here, I'd like not to get frostbite. And last time you allowed me to assist with an experiment, you dismissed me.

Very well, then continue to be relegated to the sidelines taking part in little of importance.

If you wish to aim so low and be so pedestrian, then I have some food I can part with.

Not even you can survive off of intellect alone. Not wanting to trade you addictive medication in return for the honor of witnessing your deductions firsthand is hardly being "pedestrian".

I can get my own food.

Must we do this?

[SIGH.]

We both know that this is the best deal you will be able to procure from anyone, because you are a woman motivated by personal gains at the expense of everything else in your life. Here, what made you of worth back home, is of little relevance. There are already competent doctors with either a better bedside manner or more intelligence than you, nobody needs you.

The only value you currently add is in trade commodity.

However, that is hardly going to be enough for you. To be a two-bit drug pusher while others make all the discoveries and get all the glory? You can't work with Greg, he's too sore over your future connection with his dead best friend, and you have at least the intelligence enough to know that your best shot at being present for, and therefore gaining some of the glory for, a major discovery is to ally yourself with either Greg or myself.

If you are present for one discovery then you gain worth in the eyes of people here as useful, you may even impress those that you foolishly want to impress. This deal is the most lucrative one for you to be offered.

As the kids say: #owned.

[Amber thinks of several different things to say. One, that she knows, so he's beating a dead horse. She doesn't need him to remind her of her own uselessness. And two, that she and House have been cooperating, if only distantly. But she knows that saying these things isn't going to change anything. She knows she has to stay strong. Giving in and letting him push her around, Sherlock won't give her anything.

But if she holds her ground, at least this one time, at least Watson will be forgiving.

Of course, Amber knows she can't count on that, either. She can't count on anyone. So ultimately, it's for her own good that she gives him her answer.]

I'll be in touch when you have a bigger inventory.

[She'll never impress anyone. And she'd never be satisfied if she did it by riding the coattails of others.]

[He knows he's right.

The slight pause before her answer tells him that, though he hadn't anticipated she would be this stubborn about it. He's irritated because it makes him feel as though he's miscalculated, and he knows there's no way to currently work around this without begging. Which he is not going to do.]

Whatever.

[So childish. As he hangs up.]
