Ratmas Markets - Black Market

Black Market

Of course there's no black market. Here? In our good Capitol-overseen district? Don't be ridiculous.

You know, now that you mention it, there were hooligans carrying parcels of something that looked suspicious.

Ugh! Those good-for-nothing hooligans! But there are so many of them! Which ones?

I don't know, one of those shady looking kids.

Shady looking kids, they're the worst! But they're all over! What did they look like? Where did you see them?

Name: The Armory, an Antiquary [Contact: Rakesh Sublino, Tharshana Sublino]
District: 1
Goods: Concealed craftsmanship, weapons hidden in other objects, objects hidden in other objects, an ornate shield, a bountiful collection of knives. A small library of restored books.

Location in marketplace:
Whisper the correct code, and you will be directed to a contact (not Bette), who leads you down rows and aisles, until the shadows overtake the bright lights. In the din of a warehouse basement, you find crates of goods, lavish but durable, laid out on a burgundy tapestry.

This is a good investment.

Name: Aranica Petros, Illario Krine
District: Twelve
Goods: Favors. Contacts. Promises.

Location in marketplace:
Word like this travels slowly, cautiously, but it reaches you eventually. All you have to do is find the stall, advertised brightly in plain sight. But when you mention—perhaps casually as you browse, perhaps furtively as you exchange money for some trinket—that you might like to work with them, Aranica will beam meaninglessly or Illario will politely dismiss you, and you'll leave with the impression that someone in your chain of contacts was misled after all.

Don't worry. They'll ask around, and if they like the answers, they'll be in touch.

[Lyn𝛿is]

Name: Zale Volt [Lyndis] and Zoe Volt [Marr]
District: 3
Goods: Illicit radios, hidden cameras, dangerous lasers, various stolen goods and electronic components to fence, etc.
Location in marketplace: Off to the side, in an abandoned maintenance corner of one of the warehouses that had been hastily repurposed as temporary event housing. Behind large stacks of surplus cloth, the twins have stashed several cardboard boxes brimming with contraband - as much as will fit comfortably while still maintaining enough packing material to protect the more delicate parts. Their "stall" is easily portable; every few days, before the Peacekeepers patrolling nearby can get too suspicious, they pick up their boxes and set up at a new location. Word will get out, though - carefully - to citizens who wish to procure specialized electronic devices, and/or those banned by the Capitol.

Name: Sampson Izar (Zori) & other Izars
District: 11
Goods: Moonshine
Location in marketplace: Tucked toward the end of an alleyway, wide enough for a few stalls that appear more haphazard than most, sits the Izar moonshine booth. Jugs of clear liquid are stacked and plugged with corks. Some of them have berries and other fruit inside of them, giving different hues. Black curtains hang from the top part of the booth - easy enough to pull across if the wrong folks are headed in its direction, specifically to help make a quick getaway
