No exceptions.}03. _{Both of us run off of wildly different time zones, so when booking an off-hours meeting, please be patient as we try to coordinate.}04. _{IC decisions have IC consequences.

Any attempts with result in you being ignored and blacklisted, and when 7.0 comes around, booted.}06. _{No metagaming. The shopkeeps keep their identity hidden. Unless you know them very well IC, you do not know their names, just their aliases, Whisker and Wyrm.}07. _{Most importantly, we do this for fun. If someone involved is not having fun, why are we doing this to begin with?}

_{Supplied by contacts versed in the technology of Allag, we’re proud to offer a range of items authenticated and restored dating back as far as the Third Astral Era.
We offer tomestones, both storing data and ones of a more collectible variety; trophies taken from Allagan chimeras; Garlean arms augmented with Allagan technology- and, of course, utility nodes.
Our stock is limited and rotating.}_{Standard Weaponry}

Our arms are all expertly refurbished and restored to pristine condition, rescued from confiscation by law-enforcement and returned to the hands of users in need.}_Incendiaries

ALCHEMY

^{Disclaimer: Whisker and Wyrm take no responsibility for improper or irresponsible use of our alchemical products. We ask you to refrain from utilizing products within store grounds or where disturbance and public disruption compromising the security of us and our clientele is likely.}

_{Special Tinctures}
_{Manticore’s Boon: Triggers a rage in the user that builds until they are so driven that even if they are bloodied and beaten, they will fight tooth and nail.}
   _{Note: Users are noted to lose any sense of self-preservation under the influences of large doses of Manticore’s Boon. Significant injury or death may occur.}_{Skatene’s Bane: Causes a period of total sleeplessness lasting up to six days.}
   _{Note: Users are noted to experience hallucinations the longer they are unable to sleep. Extended use of Skatene’s Bane may lead to effects on one's health.}_{Other small-batch tinctures are available in our rotating stock. Please inquire for more information on our current products.}_Poisons

_{Liquid Piranha: This product is highly volatile and very limited in availability. The solution eats through anything and everything not coated in Whisker’s secret-recipe protectant- and we mean everything, be it flesh, bone, or steel.
Note: Buyers will be asked a handful of questions to ensure proper usage.}_{Rotating Stock}
_{At Whisker & Wyrm, we offer a variety of products that come in and out of demand. From experimental tinctures lovingly tested by Whisker, to curios procured by Wyrm himself, we pride ourselves with an everchanging stock.}_{Please note: Due to the nature and size of our rotating stock, these are only available in store.

WHISKER'S WARES

_{Weaponry and Tech}
_{Unique one-of-a-kind weapons and artifacts lovingly restored to utmost functionality in-shop and only minutely likely to blow up during use.}_{Shield of Retribution:} _{This shield is fitted with a magitek core and hums with electricity- upon being struck, if the assailant’s weapon is conductive, it transmits a nasty shock. Recovered imperial weapon.}_{Bastard’s Flail:} _{This weapon is, inexplicably, essentially a sword whose blade is attached to its hilt by a chain. Swinging it with reckless abandon is sure to injure both friend and foe alike. Hilt is etched with what seems to be early runic prayers. Origin unknown, estimated at the latest second astral era.}_{Scholar’s Right Hand:} _{A mechanical hand assumed to be Allagan in origin. Contains a small projection module and tome-port to allow for visual displays of stored data. Noted that the hand seems to be intelligent in some capacity and has a tendency to crawl about if left unattended or unused for extended periods; has been known to attempt to pinch or smack individuals if it does not ‘want’ to be used.}_{Imperial Railgun:} _{This highly unstable firearm launches incendiary shrapnel rounds with unbelievable velocity and force. The weapon has been restored to the highest degree of usability but original ammunition has not been recovered; newly-synthesized ammunition will be supplied as stock with the weapon and is assured to work as close to as would have initially been intended as possible.}
_{Please inquire about the results of risk assessment in-shop.}
. .

_{Small-batch Alchemy}
_{Highly limited small-batch brews made by Whisker’s debatably careful hand. Please inquire as to known risks of available stock before purchase and use- no returns, no refunds and no liability on our part if you take a blind gamble.}_{Wraith’s Kiss:}
_{Not unlike a potion of transmutation in mechanism, this draught will cause the immediate apparent death of the drinker including total cease of vital signs and bodily function. The user will, outside of their own body, find themselves taking the form of a wraith, including incorporeality and necrotic ability. Lasts up to two hours.}_Dreamwalker:
_{This powdered substance allows one to remain entirely lucid in slumber and to maintain control over dreams should they occur. Handy for the go-getting scholar who won’t let something as trivial as sleep stop their studies or individuals who wish to search deeper into their own psyche.}_{True Glue:}
_{A powerful glue that is able to bind anything to anything- permanently. No dissolvant has proven to break down the bond made- if contact is made with flesh and binding occurs, you will have to cut the flesh free. You’ll heal. Probably.}_{Conman’s Scourge:}
_{A potent tincture that compels the user to tell the truth and nothing but the truth for the next two hours. How it works is a guarded secret that Whisker might just share if you ask nicely enough.}
_{[OOC note: please don’t use this on someone else without their consent.]}_{Solution E-029:}
_{This potion’s effects seem to vary from individual to individual. No trials have resulted in significant injury or death and effects have been noted to last anywhere from an hour to a week. Mystery is fun, right?!}
_{[This item is intended to be used in-shop and will prompt a /random 100 roll for its effect.]}
. .

_{Pop-in Clinic}_{Got a weird boil? Something not feeling right in your abdomen? Tired of having all of your fingers? Whisker’ll take care of that for you! For a paltry sum you can have a multitude of ethically-dubious procedures performed within Whisker and Wyrm’s walls.}
_{Disclaimer: Whisker has no medical authority or licensing and practices blood-magick healing. Complications from procedures are the sole responsibility of the patient; Whisker and Wyrm assumes no responsibility after waiver forms have been signed.}

WYRM'S WONDERS

_{Mummified Puk Hatchling (canned):}
_{The creature is… Oddly well preserved, and somewhat flattened. The jar it’s contained in has seen better days, the liquid inside having become misty. Opening the jar would emanate putrid fumes throughout the room.}_{Korpokkur Leaf:}
_{Just the stem that protrudes from the top of a Korpokkur. Probably useful, to someone. Live that aesthetic life.}_{Jar of Morbol Secretions (limited 1 per day):}
_{There’s several jars full of this putrid concoction, harvested straight from a Morbol. Best not to think about how or where these were procured.}_{Various Heretic Jewelry:}
_{Jewelry created by beast tribes and tempered alike, Wyrm seems to collect a great number of them… This time he seems to have brought the crafts of the Sahagin beast tribes, inspired by the primal, Leviathan.}_{Sack of Assorted Teeth:}
_{It’s a choice, for sure, but many of these teeth are far larger than most prey you spot around Eorzea… It’s clear that large beasts were felled for these trophies. A few small canines are scattered about, looking like shards in comparison.}_{Rubies, Emeralds, Diamonds, Oh My!:}
_{Settled in a display shelf on the counter, Wyrm has generously offered to sell these magnificent gems at a significantly discounted price! So long as you don’t ask where or how they were acquired. Each one has been polished and cared for as if they were ready to be set into a piece of jewelry.}_{Halone’s Divine Spear (LIMITED STOCK):}
_{Not used by Halone herself, or even close to usable by anyone at that. It is an ornate halberd, with jewels adorning the head and base. A beautiful gold and silver inlay twirls up the shaft, making it a fantastic centerpiece to anyone’s sitting room.} _PURCHASED!
