When you're a marketer, you know the very few rules. Lie to get a few extra bucks, raise the price whenever something is selling fast, lower the price if it isn't, yeah well no one ever even fucking pays attention to your stand.
They always walk by, not even sparing a glance to look at what you have. You have to steal everything if you want it, including money, no one bought anything you had. Most of the stuff you had would naturally sell for a pretty penny but maybe your aura gave off a nasty taste. You'll never really know apparently, since you had nobody to rely on, even if everything you had was the best shit in town.
"Hey you! Lady with the very depressing looking stand but extra crazy loot! How much ya want for everything?" ....wait what? Did you hear that right? Your stand does NOT look depressing, sure it looks like shit but not depressing. But the other half of what they said, for everything? You looked at whoever it was that shouted at you. They had hellishly long blue hair, some very- showing, clothing, and what looked like high tech weapons that could tell for more than anything you had.
"Did you just say everything?", "yeah I said everything, so how much?" Was this woman serious or was she joking with you? "Uhm, honestly, I don't know" she groaned. "Why don'y you pack up everything you have and I'll take you to someone who'll just pay you a good stack of cash. Deal?" Stack, of cash? STACK? Like are we talking stack of $100s or what? "Uh, yeah, sure deal." Whoever this woman was, she really seemed excited.
"Alrighty then streetdweller follow me to a very, very, gloomy lookin' place"
You liked the energy of this person, she popped out more than everyone else. Everyone always had a angsty vibe to them that made them unwelcoming. But you didn't mind following her, even if it was to your death, you'd at least have some fun out of it.

Wherever she took you, you really couldn't help but feel nervous. The girl was picking at one of her nails, she looked impatient now. "What do you need from me Jinx?" That voice was heavenly deep, it was like playing the trombone perfectly to where you could listen to it without any other instruments. "I really want all this cool stuff this kind woman has and I was wondering if you could offer her some cash?" This Jinx person had a different tone now, one more of 'angsty teenager' who's asking for something.
She wasn't a teenager right? She looked at least 20, if anything. "How much is it?" You took a small breath, "how much are you willing to offer..?" You asked, a little quiet with your words. "Will $500 cut it?" You didn't know what to say, "$500 will cover it" holy fuck, you actually just got $500 from this. $500!!!
"Do we have a deal? From one business man to another?" The guy in the chair turned around fully... 'woah'...
