WELL at least suspicion can definitely be a thing! Squalo's fairly paranoid even without exposure effects (for now) since it pretty much comes with the job, so.
Also he would totally be all over a weapons trade, the thing is he doesn't really have anything to trade yet and his few recent encounters have implied strongly that it's a bad idea to assault people over their stuff without gathering proper intelligence about them first. A nice doctor stabbed him with a scalpel for his trouble :(
was that nice doctor john because royce is going to flying kick john across norfinbury if he ever hears about that
I think even just a conversation about weapons trading could be a start!! royce has... many weapons. he has so many. he has like 8 shivs and I'm not even kidding.
y...es... he also stitched it up and fed him afterwards though :0
FAIR ENOUGH he could always try to find out how much stuff he needs to gather for a weapon? I think Alfie has a fairly recent trade post up though ngl I wasn't sure how to use it orz
EIGHT FOR REAL Squalo only has two pairs of scissors one of which he stabbed himself with and that probably only worked because he's that good at what he does
... that sounds like john, omg. royce like SIGHS HEAVILY IN HIS DIRECTION he worries okay
but yeah! that def works. i think the trade post was for during the 20 years in snowhell event, but that can always be a springboard for conversation, like - "hey you were doing trades in the future, you still doing that now?" type thing?
IT WAS SO WEIRD why would someone do this what is John
Oooh good point. Isn't it supposed to be a fairly regular thing, though? Is there no post for it? Otherwise it'd probably be Alfie that Squalo contacts, uuuuuunless we can handwave Royce doing the same at some point in the "future" that Squalo could reference? :|a
YEAH it's a regular thing, I think Iddy (alfie's player) has a post for it on alfie's journal just as a like... "this is an ongoing thing" idea, which i think is also an ic idea too, like if you have something to trade you can do it through ~alfie's service, though i think a lot of characters don't trust him to do it anymore.
royce has also put up trade posts in the past and he'd probably do them in the future if alfie wasn't up to it so yeah!! sure, we can handwave that same thing. royce's would probably have more weapons, anyway.
