Dear interested parties,

Do you feel low? Trapped? Are you discontent, world-weary, indifferent? Can you take no more?

Or are you simply curious?

Worry not. For a price, you may be the lucky receiver of a vial of exquisite Euphoria. This singular liquid guarantees an immediate feeling of transcendent happiness, incredible elation, soaring ecstasy, and sublime joy. Be content at long last in the hands of this thrilling drink - feel your troubles slip away as this very human emotion transports you to an experience like no other.

One fl oz per vial. One drop is equal to one hour of pure, undiluted Euphoria. Don't take more than one drop at a time, or your brains might make for the wallpaper. Mixable with other drinks. Use wisely.

This transaction will be treated as an auction; the bidding will end in five days' time. Paper payment won't be accepted. Favors won't be accepted. I'll decide the highest bidder. Your purchase will be delivered to a place of your choosing, and your payment to a place of mine.

Bidding begins now.

[circumitus]

you're serious?

[teashop]

Wouldn't have made the post otherwise.

[circumitus]

i want it.

[teashop]

What are you willing to offer for it?

[circumitus]

depends on what you're willing to take.

[teashop]

Can't know what I'll like until you tell me what you've got.

[circumitus]

okay.

what about services?

[teashop]

Hm. Perhaps.

What kind?

[circumitus]

protection.

[teashop]

Tempting.

Anything else?

[circumitus]

i don't have much, so i can't offer you what i have. but if there is anything you want or need, whether i have to fetch it from across the ship or steal it, i can get it for you.

[teashop]

All right. All of this: currently on the table. Up for consideration.

I'll contact you if you've won.

[circumitus]

10-4.

[teashop]

[ FIVE DAYS LATER . . . ]

In addition to your protection services, I'd like to make use of your offer to... procure anything I'd like. Are you sure you can do that?

[circumitus]

affirmative.

[teashop]

[ just to be extra sure: ]

Can you find me a gun?

[circumitus]

what kind?

[teashop]

Small. Handheld. Nothing fancy. I don't have much preference other than that.

[circumitus]

doable.

[teashop]

Then we have a deal.

Your number?

[circumitus]

appreciated.

it's 001 » 056.

ACTION

[teashop]

[ Within the next few hours, a note will appear stuck to Rey's door, on which is written the following:

1. Come to locker # oo1 / 1oo, bring the gun. If you don't have it, bring it when you do
2. Leave it, close the door

And, another note, stuck to the door of locker 001 » 100:

Go to locker # oo3 / 1oo, you'll find what you ordered.
Remember, ONLY ONE DROP AT A TIME.

As yours is an offer of protection, I'll keep you on retainer until I need you. If I need you, you'll know.
Enjoy.

-David

Inside the locker, there will be small glass vial filled to the brim with bright teal liquid, labeled EUPHORIA in the same scratchy handwriting that used for the notes. Have a happy… well, happy time. ]

ACTION (so late)

[circumitus]

[No need for stealing this time. Rey leaves with our dear and mysteriously anonymous Hatter her own issued firearm acquainted from her rank as a security officer. She can always get others issued to her, she realizes, and even when guns are out of the mix, she can think of other ways to fight. For a man who requested aid as he did, she presumes that perhaps he could use it more.

[She falters at the name given to her somewhat, however. A little bell rings.

[David...

[...Coincidence.



[She'll be taking that vial, though leaving it in her locker for a later date when she "needs" it.]
