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.

Inappropriate journal is kind of appropriate.

Welcome, welcome!

Purchase!

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.

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.

[personal profile] fourstonewalls 2011-05-07 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! She'll just pick them both up here. :)
