[A pale man with dark lips and colored hair appears on the screen, humming. He smiles wide and looks relaxed.]

No questions. I like what I see. I like where this is going~ A turn of events no one could have seen.

[it's a sing song voice, cheerful but dark.]

I'm not here to bother you with the details. I can read about those. I'm here to offer you something more. Something pure. Something that will ease your troubles for little to no cost to you.

[He waves a dark metal and leather gloved hand in the air and with slight of hand makes three vials appear, pink, yellow and a soft blue.] For a tiny cost, or just different place to stay, I could offer you something more.

[He's been busy.]

Go ahead and ask. I'm sure someone is curious.

You sound like every half-baked sleemo spice dealer I've ever known, and I've known quite a few.

Don't do drugs, kids.

voice;

[robberofgraves]

Sleemo? I like the sound of that.

But you jump to conclusions, my friend. I don't do drugs, nor do I sell them~

[Well, not right now at least?]

voice;

[kanyounot]

I didn't jump to conclusions, I just pointed out what you sound like.

Here, I can do it too:

"Hey buddy, you wanna go to a place you've never dreamed of? Only six hundred creds! The trip of a lifetime!"

Not difficult.

[fireandhoney]

Okay, I'll bite. What's with the vials?

[robberofgraves]

[He smiles slow, proudly holding one up.]

Emotions. Pure and simple. Bottled emotions to try.

Well, I'm a bit of a potions maker myself, and I've never heard of potions that could do that. Except maybe skooma.

[pummelgranite]

Yeah alright. Magic drugs or alien drugs?
Also just fyi literally everyone here is a cop.

TEXT

[robberofgraves]

Not a drug at all! It's absolutely natural. Everyone has an abundance of it too.
Cops can sniff all they want. It's a god given power and I doubt they'd let me out on the world if it wasn't okay~

[justaskalice]

Alright, so you peddle bottled emotions... Now, what's the catch? Because, let's face it, there's always a catch. Do we turn extremely violent after a dose? Super depressed from the crash after the high? Even good medication comes with side-effects.

[robberofgraves]

[Now here's an interesting guy. He grins about this, leaning a bit as he taps his chin.]

I would agree with you, if this was a medication.

This my friend is absolutely natural on the other hand. Not a drug at all. It comes from one human, it goes to another. So far subjects have experienced a relief of one emotion, and the experience of another. No hard side effects.

[justaskalice]

Ehhhh, see, I don't know that I believe that, seeing as, you know, my own very natural emotions do all kinds of crazy things.

[That aside, though, this is very fascinating and he is clearly excited. And has a TON of questions, which means very animated hand gestures and mile-a-minute talking.]

But, okay. So you withdraw this emotion from patient A and inject it into patient B, right? Everybody experiences emotions differently, so when you get your, I don't know, emotional transfusion or whatever, do you experience, say, happiness as they do, or as you normally would?

And is there anything else that can transfer in the exchange? Like, with blood, there's the very real possibility of acquiring a disease through another person's blood if it's not screened--can you get the wrong emotion, bittersweet joy masquerading as contentment, anger tainting sadness, or whatever? And is there a kind of compatibility like blood types that happens between donor and recipient, or is emotion one-size-fits-all?

[Curious. Not interested, per se, but curious, yes.]

Go on, then.

Text; UN: Graverobber

[robberofgraves]

[Curious is enough]

I'm glad you asked~
Bottled emotions. Pure and simple. Need a little joy in your life, I can help. Feeling too miserable? Let me take that away.

[d33tached]

That hardly seems possible.

[Not that he hasn't seen his fair share of impossible things in this world, but something about "bottled emotions" just doesn't sound right.]

[granddevil]

Has this speech ever worked before? [ he is absolutely unimpressed ]

Video

[robberofgraves]

[He chuckles, find with your unimpressed attitude.]

For those in need, yes.

[granddevil]

How desperate they must have been.

[reexamined]

I assume you inject them into flesh.

[robberofgraves]

Injected or ingested. It seems to work both ways.

[reexamined]

What are the detrimental side effects?

text

[onlydoubts]

Interesting sales pitch.

text

[robberofgraves]

I like to grab attention of others. Interesting is better than dull.

[am_i_a_monster]

What kind of drugs are those?

[robberofgraves]

The emotional kind. Naw, I jest, but only in part. This isn't drugs. This is far better. Emotions~

[sanguinespell]

[hi goth man, here's a goth girl looking pretty unimpressed. something about this guy seems familiar, but like hell if she can place it. either way, she does approve of the style, even if this is. way sketchy.]

This might go over better with the locals than this crowd.
