You're not quite sure how you got here. One minute, you're walking across Skaia, the next, you're in a large room with dark wood paneling, comfortable cushions, and what appears to be a large complementary buffet. You think it's complementary, anyway. There's no listed price. Score.
"Ah." A troll with mismatched jade and violet eyes and an elaborate hairstyle twisted through the curves of her tall horns steps forward. Is heterochromia even possible with trolls? There's no time to ponder this new mystery of the Glitch, however. The troll is offering you a glass of fizzing liquid and gesturing to one of the cushions.
"You must be looking for something special if you found your way here. Have a seat and some refreshment, and let's see if we can't get you sorted, hmm?"
One by one, the troll and her staff bring out each item for your perusal.
"Our current theme is 'tis the Season," she explains. "I'm sure you'll find something for yourself or as a gift. Or as a 'gift.'"
WEAPONS
Icicle Stiletto - 500B - This stabbing weapon is transparent and icy cold to the touch.
Its blade is needle-sharp and thin, reducing friction upon entry, allowing the blade to penetrate deeply and easily. (PL: Moderate | Physical Damage)
By twisting the blade sharply in various directions before pulling it free, the user can do a good deal of internal damage that's hard to detect by looking at the external wound. (Counts as a second injury with the same PL as the first)
In addition, it chills the blood, making the victim slow and sluggish, regardless of how severe the injury. (PL: Moderate | Ice Damage)
Requires Needle, Stiletto, or Daggerkind. | 4 in Stock
Sold to Marko
Candy Cane of Craving - 600B - This white and red-striped staff has a hook on one end and smells like peppermint.
It can be used as a staff or crook in a fight. (PL: Moderate | Physical Damage)
During strife, those who you designate as enemies feel a compulsion to lick the staff (WPP; Moderate | Mental effect).
If an enemy licks it, they fall into a deep sleep that lasts for 3 rounds of posting. Noise and movement won't wake them, though injury will. (PL: Moderate | Sedative)
Requires Staff, Cane, or Crookkind. | 5 in stock
Garland Garrote - 1000B - (PL: Moderate | Physical Damage) - This innocent-looking length of fluffy garland is shimmery red and green and seems to wiggle a bit on its own.
When wielded, this can be used to wrap around a target's neck (or other body part) and drawn tight to incapacitate, injure, or kill. But that's just the most basic use. The garland itself can stretch out up to 10 feet to wrap around someone or something and return the other end to your hand in case you can't get in close.
The unbreakable core of this weapon can toughen up from a fabric softness to a thin, razor-sharp cutting wire at will. The tinsel filaments that give it that festive, fluffy look can also grow in length and attempt to wrap around the primary target (or others nearby), and they can grow razor-sharp as well. Get this around someone and make it all go sharp, and they will have a very bed time, gaining an extra Moderate injury every round from these small blades. You, however, will never be hurt by your own weapon.
Requires Wire or Garrotekind. | 5 in stock
Holly Bomb - 300B - This clear glass ball has a sprig of holly inside.
Throw this at a target and it will explode on contact with a spray of ice and sharp holly leaves that strikes anyone within 5 feet. (PL: Light | Physical Damage + Ice Damage).
In addition, the area it struck will be coated with a slick ice for 1 round that will make it kind of hard to move around. If it hit a person, this ice will do an extra bit of Light Ice damage the next round.
Returns to your Strife Deck after use. Requires Bomb or Explosivekind. | 4 in stock
Sold to Konichi
Silent Night - 100B - This...looks kind of like cotton. Or fake snow?
This is a weapon mod. Just wrap it around your weapon, and it sinks in to give it a snow-themed appearance and any noise it makes will be negated. Much more effective than a mundane 'silencer.' It can be removed, but it will just be a wad of mundane cotton afterward. | 4 in stock
Sold to Marko
APPAREL
Snow Boots - 50B - These boots allow you to walk on the surface of the snow without sinking into it or leaving any tracks. | 4 in stock
Sold to Puro
Evergreen Cloak - 100B - This green, pine-scented cloak allows you to blend into the woods with ease. As long as there are evergreens in the woods, anyway. | 4 in stock
Sold to Konichi
Gloves of Generosity - 500B - (PL: Moderate | Buff) - These gloves give you a small power boost (Aspect or Racial, but not both) when acting selflessly on someone else's behalf (quests do not count) for one thread. At the end of the thread, the gloves leave your possession and appear in the sylladex of the one you helped. They cannot be duplicated or otherwise alchemized. | 5 in stock
Snow Shades - 50B - (PL: Weak | Illusion) - When worn, these sunglasses make everything look as if it's covered in snow. | 5 in stock
