devoutish | IC trade organization post

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!]

Not half as well as I'd hoped, no.

The ones who are interested are holding off, I expect.

I've gotten a couple private requests already, but I hesitate to get ahead of myself. Doctor Watson's already had a prescription I gave canceled in the past. He might try and shut me out completely.

Does Dr. Watson need to find out who you give them to?

I certainly don't intend on telling him.

[Unethical or not, patient-doctor confidentiality. Still, of course Sherlock has already requested something. If she can get him what he's looking for, Watson will undoubtedly find out.]

How did he find out the other time?

From finding the bottles, I'd assume. Though, that time, I wasn't the only other doctor being convinced to write a false prescription.

[She was just the most willing.]

Really? Who else is giving them out?

Was.

[She speaks carefully, trying to avoid any sort of emotion from entering her voice.]

Dr. Wilson isn't in a position to issue prescriptions any longer.

[And she's not sure exactly who else gave anything to Sherlock.]

Yeah, I did hear that. My condolences. You're from the same world?

Yes. We worked at the same hospital. He was from...sometime in the future from me, so it made things complicated. Still, I'd feel better if he was here.

He wasn't a bad sort. Always good to have more doctors around town.

Doctors. Reasonable people. Not that I've ever been good at making friends, but variety keeps things lively.

[And keeps everyone from tearing out their throats.]

What are you good at, then? You're not like Dr. House.

[That is, of course, not quite true. Amber is far too much like House for her own good. She's simply not a junkie, and has better tact.]

You're right. I'm much nicer to look at.

[She chuckles to herself as she provides her playful response, debating how to properly answer Alfie's question.]

I'm good at gambling.

[It's true, she is pretty hot.]

That's useful here.

What else?

[Is "winning" redundant?]

I'd say I'm good at thinking on my feet.

And you're not bad with people; that's easy to see. Why the lack of friends, then?

Being on good terms with acquaintances is easy enough. Friendships require prolonged attention.

Mm, yeah. Fair enough. Does it get lonely at home?

An oddly personal question, wouldn't you say? Perhaps sometimes it gets lonely, yes.

Mm, yeah, it's personal. But you still answered, didn't you.

So I did. Should I be worried about what you might ask next?

Banking information?

Your priorities are in the right place, though I'm not sure how much good knowing any of that would do you here.

[And then there's the whole problem with her being from the digital age and whatnot.]
