Trader's Bay


How far would you go to get that one thing you always wanted? How much would you be willing to lose? How much is too much?

Welcome to Trader's Bay. It's a nice little store with kiosks all over the universe. This store sells everything and anything as long as you're willing to pay the price. It prides itself on convenience. Just say yes and it'll claim the price for you. Sometimes the price is easy to fulfill. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's the life of your newborn baby. Sometimes you don't even know what you agreed to until you lost it.

There's no worry if you have nothing to give. Anything of value to you is a price, even your arm. It's just business, really.

*Note: This meme may range from fluffy to violent, please use your discretion and state your preferences if you have any.

How to play:
1) Post with your character (Name and series in the subject line).
2) Leave the post blank or state your preferences. (What kind of things are they asking for? What kind of things would you want your character to lose. Please state any nos here)
2) RNG and tag other people
3) Have fun!

What are you after?
1) Little things - Trade in part of your wardrobe for a brand new dress. Or your favorite plush for a new one. Or your keyboard and monitor for that brand new pair of headphones, oops.

2) Materialistic Things - Trade in your brand new car to buy that new house. Or give up all your belongings to get back that family heirloom you lost a few years ago. Or trade in your husband for that awesome HDTV and home surround system you always wanted. (You never liked him anyway)

3) Connections - Sacrifice your memories to get the love of your life to look at you. Make your friends forget about you so you can get your father's love back.

4) The Physical - Trade in your senses to get back the use of your arm. Trade in a stranger's eyesight for your own (you may have to blind them yourself). Kill a hobo so that your eternal nemesis will never look beautiful again.

5) Survival - Give up an arm to get food and shelter. Sacrifice your sense of touch for the ultimate weapon.

6) Wildcard - all of the above or none of the above. The sky's the limit.

[He spots her near the kiosk. It's hard not to. Her red hair and the way she carries herself makes her stand out.]

What could a pretty girl like you possibly want from here?

[Okay, he isn't the best at pick up lines]

I am going to let YOU pick the number.

[At a nearby kiosk, a young woman just happens to be having a rather loud discussion - a rather one sided discussion, at that - with one of the devices.]

Look, this is not okay at all, okay? This is not how wishes are supposed to work. You see me? I'm sort of an expert on Wishes. Well, ex-expert. That's not the point! You're just giving the whole business even more of a bad name than it has already... well okay, maybe that's a good thing, but - I can't believe I'm saying that! Ooh, see what you're doing? You're just being confusing!

[ all numbers are a go. there's quite a bit sharpe might be willing to trade for promotion. ]

Earth-3 Red Hood | Batman: BatB

[aceinthehood]

[A few months ago he'd have traded nearly anything for power--the power to save his world and bring down his enemies. That power he's since gained for the price of nothing he couldn't spare. Just a little sanity loss and torture. It's the side effects he's here to trade about.

Hood's down here not to gain something, but to have it taken away. One face, gently used, slight acid damage. Make your best offer.]

Hawke ! Dragon Age 2

[questionablewit]

[She's not likely be interested in 2. Anyone familiar with DA2 willing to offer her something seriously tempting/impossible, a la dead family members returned to life again or Anders seperated from Justice or such, will get all the love]

James T. Kirk ★ Star Trek XI

[OOC: Open to all numbers. It's likely he'd give up a lot to keep his crew safe. Replies may come from thetisfortalented.]

probably 1 for her

[Ally sidles up to Kirk as she pokes around at one of the kiosks]

Do you really think this works?

Let's start from connections and go from there?

[teaseme]

[He doesn't have a fancy shop built up. He doesn't have a pretty sign all neat and tidy. His is a very simple sign labeled 'Wish Fulfillment', propped against a tree. Tyki is seated on a blanket with an assortment of what could be called 'knick knacks' but really are samples. They come from all over the world.

Some look like miniature weapons, some look like copies of art. But...do they stay that way? It's a very good question in a place like this.]

Oi. Boy.

[He's about to break out a smoke but this one...there's something about him.]

Come over here. I have what you're looking for.

[They've never met before of course. But...he's willing to take his chances that this one will be curious at the summons.]

KNOWLEDGE
BOUGHT - SOLD - TRADED
PRICES REASONABLE

[Abe has a small table set up on the curbside. Rather than corndogs or trinkets he's dealing in information. His psychometrics can read the history of any item or person brought to him, and of course his knowledge of the occult and supernatural is overwhelming.

Overwhelming but not comprehensive. In front of him is a book written in Sanskrit, which he's reading very slowly. He recently traded it for a set of astral projection techniques and a history of ritual body modification. Abe's hunger for knowledge is without end, and he's willing to cut deals to further it.]

bird girl and fish dude! NOTHING CAN GO WRONG

[pas_de_ducks]

[It's the books that catch her eye.

She finds herself wondering what kinds of stories are inside them. Whether their endings are intact, whether they'll show her a way forward that strikes tragedy down once and for all.

The man himself isn't particularly frightening--she's seen stranger, after all--so she steps forward without hesitation.]

Um, excuse me?

3 or 5 maybe

[notsorry]

[He's heard about this place. He doesn't believe in magic of course but he doesn't really have anything left to lose, so, why not? He'll try his luck. Maybe he'll get his father back. Maybe he'll find a way to kill the rest of the Fraternity. Maybe he'll get nothing. There's a thrill in the unknown too]

Hey, you a buyer or a seller?

Balthazar/Supernatural/CLOSED

[tryingitall]

At the end of a row of colorful stalls, a tall man with ash blond hair and blue eyes sits at a battered wooden desk. He has a few magazines to read, and a ledger to write in, and a bottle of bourbon. Slumped casually to one side, he doesn't look like the other vendors, but there's a sign pinned to the front of the desk.

The Angel Balthazar: Souls Bought, Favors Granted. Inquire within.

There's...no 'within' to inquire at, of course. Better just ask the guy sitting there what the deal is.

Re: Balthazar/Supernatural/CLOSED

[bluesrat]

He really just came in to get out of the heat, maybe find a quiet corner to lay out the guitar case and busk. The guitar is a little awkward to carry around the cluttered stalls, heavy on his back and bulky, and the lanky, shabby man holds one bottom corner of it to make sure it doesn't bump into any tables. The guitar case is almost wider than he is, but when he pauses by the wooden desk he casts a long shadow. The man is absurdly tall, definitely too thin, and too scruffy and careworn to be mistaken for anything but a bum.

Blue eyes study the little sign, keen and curious. "...Souls bought?"
