We're all gonna get in a fight! [EVENT: FITE NITE][Warning: Violence and Blood]

[smartass_captain]

People have been disappearing in the Nexus.

Going missing from work, from their homes, from the Plaza.

Locals are staying in their homes, shutting their doors. Even the more shut-in of Nexus goers will be able to tell that something is amiss around here. The Plaza is strangely sparse as far as foot traffic; many of the shops downtown are closing early.

Word is spreading in the Industrial District of an anomaly in the anti-violence field. Easy money for betting in cage fighting. Less easy money but larger amounts for competing in said cage matches. One on one, matches with and without weapons. Rounds go until someone surrenders, is knocked out, or dies. Who would set up such a thing? It's becoming very popular and many a coin is being generated. Are so many people really signing up for this?

Some are. Others are captured and drugged, thrown into the ring against their will with the ultimatum: Fight and get free, or die.

What do you do?

Are you looking to bet your wages? Sign up for a chance at riches? Are you one of the unwilling laying in a dark room?

Or.

Are you going to stand for this if not?

((Please view this OOC post to chat with other players before you jump into a fight! All fights must be agreed upon by participants ahead of time for severity of injuries. Outcomes can be agreed upon or will be decided by a coinflip by myself. Please do not come into this expecting to clean sweep someone without sustaining injuries unless you and your fight partner have agreed ahead of time that would be hilarious. If there are questins, concerns, or complaints PM me. TL:DR Have fun and don't be a dick!))

"No need to worry about exchange rates just yet. I'll see what I can do with what you have." Which is to say that he intends to make the sellers deal with the exchange and any associated fees. Seems fair, if they're going to try to rip him off a bit due to his lack of knowledge about starship parts.

"To be honest, I haven't looked into the market before." Talk about a confidence booster. "But I'm a master negotiator and I learn quickly. I don't think anyone's going to try and take me for your money - not if they have any sense about them, that is." Because if there's one thing you don't do, it's double cross Raymond Reddington. The Nexus may not know that yet, but if they try? He'll make sure everyone does.

"As a serviceable negotiator and observer of people, I have faith that you are." A master negotiator that is. Moreover, Han thinks you've got (or can get) the right network to be able to take advantage of said negotiation skills.

Now, if he should be so trusting of you? Well, the jury is kind of out on that one, but you've also given him no reason not to trust you either. That makes you allies in Han's book.

"Thanks in advance for whatever you can do."

"It's much appreciated." Mostly because it means Red doesn't need to be watching every single move he makes for Han's approval. The scoundrel obviously understands that getting one's hands dirty is just another part of every day's business.

He nods slowly after another sip of his drink. "I only hope I can deliver as much as you're hoping for."
