“Well hello there,” A man appears in front of you, garbed in a suspicious looking trench coat, so long and thick that it's verging on cliché. I wouldn't tell him that. A smirk lined the man's lips as he spoke again, “you're the writer of that person in the last match, correct? No no, you don't have to agree. I already know. Don't worry, I was pulling for your guy the whole time, interesting character, no?”
You get this suspicion that he has told many people this before.
“We've already broken the fourth wall, so I guess I better to get to the point. I'm not hear to chit chat about matches and fighters, this is business.” He opens up his trench coat, showing an array of items. “I've been instructed Pit to sell some...parting gifts for your characters. No no, they will not know where these gifts came from, for you are the ones paying for them. However, I am sure they are worth you while.”
…
“You see, these are from the Black Market, you can't find these items anywhere else. Countless Ex-Team researchers from all over the planet are selling drugs, serums, technology, operations that you can get your grimy character torturing hands on. I'm sure you wanted to do these things in the past, but, it would never be a canon deal, so... well it never came into fruitation, no? Again, I'll hand you the list of that once the pitch is over.”
He suspects you are wishing to run far away,
“Wait, wait... uh, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but, I've been also asked by another person to sell you some things. You might have even talked to her recently.” He pulls out a little list and forks them over to you, “If your characters get their hands on these, the plot will come drawing to a close. That's what they want, right? Well, this is evidence that they can use. Plot devices, if you will. I myself will deliver them to your character, so no worries of corruption of evidence and whatnot. Believe me, she would off my head if I messed with these things...”
He bit his lip, lost in a memory for a moment.
“Well then, before you start taking of your shirt and throwing your respect points at me, I should tell you that these points are different. You get them by having your character participate in matches. Of course, those points are ONLY for that character, not any of the others. You earn them by...hmm... what do you call it? Posting? Yes, yes, that's right you get 1 point per post in a match, and an extra five for winning. I say, it would be best to win!”
You look on the list, which has some annotations inscribed for some of the prizes:
Black Market Emporium Items:
Minor Serum of Character Alteration: 15 Points
-I've seen some crazy things happen to those who drink it. So far, I think only skin color and, heh, gender have changed. Those scientists are sneaky little bastards too, not labeling the bottle. Hehe.
-Also, these potions work quickly, quite like a pokemorph changing into a pokemon. Bones and stuff are shifted/grown, and you might leave your character in a hormonal tizzy.
-Lasts for five days/a single thread
Age Serum: 15 Points
- I'm going to be nice and let YOU pick the age for the concoction, since my buddy is the one making these. It's, hmm, fun to be eighteen again... not that I would known. Anyway, this bottle is also unlabeled.
-Also, these potions work quickly, quite like a pokemorph changing into a pokemon. Bones and stuff are shifted/grown, and you might leave your character in a hormonal tizzy.
-Lasts for five days/a single thread
Major Serum of Character Alteration: 25 points
-Oh ho, this is where this stuff gets to become fun. Most changes here are pokemorph related, so yes, you get to look like a pigment-ally challenged anime character for a week, with either pokemorph extra parts (like wings) or just a single move from that pokemon. Author's choice, of course- unless you want to be surprised
-Also, these potions work quickly, quite like a pokemorph changing into a pokemon. Bones and stuff are shifted/grown, and you might leave your character in a hormonal tizzy.
-Lasts for five days/a single thread
Truth Serum! 25 points
Pour this into your target's drink and they won't be able to hold their secrets in for a whole hour! Good for sneaky boyfriends and skilled spies~
-Usable for one thread. Target character's owner must give permission.
Vehicle of choice! 45 points
-Oh ho, these were created by the market's top engineers and scientists! We have everything, motercycles, mopeds, cars, and if you ask real nice-like, hover boards. I believe that those things will fly only over magnetic substances, though, so chart your courses carefully.
-These things will last as long as you like! Have fun~
Specially Engineered Pokemon of Suspicious Legality! 45 points
-Yes yes, what kind of Black market would we be if we didn't smuggle pokemon? These things are odd though, like shinies except even more different in color, and some seem to have other species's parts stiched nicely on there. I can't vouch for the pokemon's sanity, but they do look like quite good fighters. Maybe they can help your character win more matches, no?
-Although You get to pick the pokemon and how it looks like and such, us admins will be looking over it and tell you if it's logical. NO FAKES PLEASE!
Pokemorph/Human enhancement drug! 60 points
-Oh, you guttermind, that's not what these drugs and objects are. The market has gotten it's hands on some drugs to improve your pokemorph skills to and extent possibly allowing you to evolve or use more moves. As for humans, this can increase your endurance, strength, speed, or anything of that sort, without making you look like a muscle head on steroids. However, these drugs may wear on the body's immune system some, and make them prone to infection.
-This drug will ONLY do what is above, so no creating your characters into mutants. Again, noteable side effects MUST be present or else we will take the powers away from you.
Bang! Bang! Kapow! Etc. 60 points
-Eh, weapons, we have them. Guns, grenades, knock out gas, whatever you like. Sorry that I'm not that excited it's just... ugh. I get bored with weapons when there are all these bioweapons running around, poisoning people or kicking them in the place where the sun doesn't shine. But whatever. Stockpile them so you can have a raid or something, you have my blessing.
-Weapons are long lasting make it a good one!
-Pit's not going to give out knock out gas or grenades when he lives in a tunnel. so no.
-No guns that shoot lighting. Or shurikens and lighting. Just bullets and maybe other ammo, if you get creative. Creative weapons that do not exist MUST be verified through the admins.
Allowance into black market's gossip hole! 60 points
-Another thing we are famous for is getting the dirt on people. On almost everyone in remoor, actually (unless they were, like, a Pravus experiment/administrator or very skilled serial killer but...) There are plenty of secrets on the organizations up for grabs, but I don't know if they are totally true.
-All secrets on other characters will be approved by owners, and the pravus/ranger leaders will verify secrets for their groups as well. If you get a fake, we will tell you, but your character is not allowed to know (unless if it's something ridiculous like the rangers worshiping the pansy god or something but you won't get those, promise.)
optional one:
Pokemorph/De-Morph operation! 75 points
Oh ho, here's the big one. Some Pravus Scientists who had defected recently have been working for us, letting your characters go under the big taboo of surgery, becoming a pokemorph. If they already are and want to become human again, well, we provide that too. However, some of the scientists have been ...complaining that the procedure isn't all that safe yet. Oh well.
Let's get this plot to the climax!
Nifty T-shirt- 15 points
Reads: “I fought in a secret underground fighting tournament to the death and all I got is this lousy t-shirt.” Might not be your size, but a nice one nonetheless.
-Wimpy Evidence
Map of the Catacombs- 30 points. One in stock.
Made by the architect who made this amazing place himself! Provides you will all the rooms and exits, even the fight lord's quarters! I only have one... so use it wisely.
-Useful tool. Nuff said.
Bogey Drug- 45 points.
-My agent friend will make absolute sure that your character will be fighting without being under the influence, free to gather information for that night before they are shuffled back to bed.
Unblurred Fight Tapes- 60 points
-I will deliver your character's videos of their matches to them directly, via mysterious package. Good for family videos or an avoidance against blackmail, no?
-Yes, you get all your fights. It's a nice long record.
-Solid Evidence
Match Ticket- 60 points
Allows you to see the watch a fight, go through with the crowds, act all undercover and the like. Maybe this will give you enough clues to finally bring this place down! (and kill my business, you noble ass.)
-Two tickets for one night only. Yay~ Partners!
-And no. I'm not give you half price for one. That would be too easy.
