Doyleton Purchase Guide and Request

If your character is looking to purchase something, you've come to the right place. Most of the businesses in Doyleton are willing to offer goods and services to Landel's Institute patients so long as they have the proper amount of funds in their cards. Though the overall concept is fairly simple, there are a few things players will need to keep in mind before making an IC purchase:

1. Not everything is up for sale. All shopkeepers will bar patients from purchasing anything potentially dangerous or cumbersome (e.g., knives at Kitchin' Fixins or larger electronics like computers).

2. All purchases will be confiscated by the military when the patients board the buses at the end of the day. They will be returned at dinner along with their usual NS-only items (unless they've misbehaved).

3. Patients can trying haggling for a better bargain, but harassment of any townspeople will not be tolerated. Anyone abusing Doyleton folk will be warned and punished accordingly.

4. A patient can make a purchase with someone else's card so long as the card's owner is beside them during the time of purchase. A good rule of thumb to use is RL approach to credit cards. If a patient can't prove they are authorized to use the card, they cannot buy. There will be no exceptions.

5. Patient purchases do not require a NPC mod every time. You may request for one if the circumstances call for it, but in general, if the patient just wants to buy something simple, go ahead and have them do so in your own posts (after you receive the proper approval for the purchase, of course).


If your character plans to buy something, please fill out the following form first:

SUBJECT LINE: Purchase
Character: [Character name] [livejournal.com profile] _username_here
Requested Item(s): What your character is looking to buy?
Current Funds: Tell us how much is on your character's card.
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Y/N
Day #: [location here]



Post this form to the appropriate location, and a NPC mod will approve/reject the request as well as let you know of the costs involved. Please do not go forward with the purchase until a NPC mod approves your request.

As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask here (make sure to mark the subject line as Question) or throw us a contact.

Okay! Is it possible for him to drink two glasses of wine ($8), his personal favorite, and then purchase a bottle($16) to take home on the bus? totaling $24? He would probably be a little buzzed/tipsy, but not impaired or outright drunk.

Re: Purchase?

[identity profile] notachick.livejournal.com 2011-05-05 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
That seems fine!

Although the purchased bottle would likely be taken for safekeeping by the staff once he leaves the bar until NS since the town has a no-open bottle policy and the nurses don't want patients walking around with alcohol/substances during the day.

Inappropriate journal is kind of appropriate.

But yeah, the headband is hers! $2.50 sound about right? It can have sparklies if she likes~

Purchase... sorry

[personal profile] rocksthecourt 2011-05-05 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Klavier Gavin [livejournal.com profile] rocksthecourt
Requested Item(s): One of those reusable grocery bags; Boxed snacks (granola bars, energy bars); Drinks that come in packs (fruit juices, carbonated drinks); Little, empty food containers, but barring that he'll look for jarred pickles; those little fruit cocktail snack cup things, preferably the ones with plastic covers that can be reused but he won't be picky if it's the peel off top kind; EDIT - Also possibly an apple or two (THE GUY IS HUNGRY)
Current Funds: $15
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Nope! Also, I don't have a link because I wanted to ask before he even got there. He's probably going to be looking all over town for stuff. Additionally, he's not necessarily buying everything listed above. Those are just the items he will be looking for and will decide what and how much he'll buy according to an admissible budget because he is such a responsible adult like that. :| They're listed by priority.

You're going to make someone's life more annoying soon, aren't you? Don't expect Kuro to sling you over his shoulder this time around...!

Character: Brook [livejournal.com profile] promisedawhale
Requested Item(s): PIRATES DRINK BEER
Current Funds: $20
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Brook will be... loud even before having any alcohol so... haha, he might need kicked out eventually. XD He'll probably be there midday as well.

Character: Kurogane [livejournal.com profile] contentincloset
Requested Item(s): Alcohol, lotsa it - and he's not picky, so the most he can get at the cheapest price...
Current Funds: $20
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: He'll be... monitoring Fai, so it'll depend on how that plays out on whether intervention is needed. Kuro will probably just run his money out since he'll be pretty sure he can't take anything home

slfksd sparklies.

SEEMS REASONABLE, especially in that kind of shop which is not a CVS/drugstore or something. o/ Awesome, she can buy two! Thank you!
fourstonewalls: (not so fast!)

Character: Taura [livejournal.com profile] ninelivesonce
Requested Item(s): upgrade manicure coupon to Manila-pedi
Current Funds: $15
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?:N

She may not actually go through with the purchase even if she can afford it, depending on how much it is.

[identity profile] not-rly-fai.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Aw he's not even getting that drunk. At least not in the daytime.

[identity profile] contentincloset.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not that he's ever gotten drunk... *grumblemutter* You're making me reread certain scenes from happier times...

Welcome, welcome!

Taura, actually, I was just logged into Lana. She's not going to go for it -- I'll be back with her actual purchase requests later. Thanks!
fourstonewalls: (oh ema)

Purchase!

[personal profile] fourstonewalls 2011-05-06 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Lana Skye [livejournal.com profile] fourstonewalls
Requested Item(s): Sunglasses and earplugs
Current Funds: $10
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

Not sure if these would be more likely found at this shop or Callahan's, but she'll stop by both if necessary. She'd pick the cheapest available as long as they looked like they'd work.

Purchase

[personal profile] ryuuzaki 2011-05-07 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Character: L [livejournal.com profile] quarter_english
Requested Item(s): Various snacks: a few boxes of cookies, a few candy bars, possibly a piece or two of fruit or some fruit cocktail snack cups. Amounts would depend on the prices, but I was thinking that the cookies would be around $2.50 a package and the candy bars would be around $0.50-0.75 each.
Current Funds: $10
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

(in the right place this time!)

Re: Purchase!

[identity profile] sunsingergirl.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to assume they both could be found here, because it is a Bath and Beauty store...

$1.99 for a pack of two earplugs, and $5 for the sunglasses? She could probably find the sunglasses at Callahan's too, but idk how much they'd be there. And we can make the earplugs an even $2 if you'd like, just to keep things nice and even.
