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.

It's never expressly stated in canon, but his Landels listed age is 24. He's actually much older, though they never state exactly how much older.

Then he'd be allowed, yeah. Mathers would look to the nurses to see if he's of age, and then he'd be allowed to order. However, please check the information post linked below for more details on what he can buy/afford and how much he'd be allowed to drink at the bar.

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.

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.

Okay! I kind of figured that would happen, but he would still give it his best shot. Thanks! o/

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...!

Aw he's not even getting that drunk. At least not in the daytime.

Not that he's ever gotten drunk... *grumblemutter* You're making me reread certain scenes from happier times...
