Varia in Little Hades
A relatively new local “business”, the Varia offers a multitude of services for those willing to part with enough cash.
- information extortion and trafficking,
- acquiring of various demon organs and body parts,
- finding people and beating them up or delivering your revenge (torture or making someone sleep with the fire fishes available),
- intermediating between you and smugglers,
- hiring “freelancer” criminals for you,
- offering “protection” for your club or business (this one they might contact you themselves about),
- getting that annoying hellcop off your trail,
- other less than legal affairs.
They’re also offering smuggling services themselves, focusing on ice cream, sweets and top shelf booze. Because a secret ice cream parlor in a frozen over Hell is what serious mafiosos do. They will, however, consider other requests as well, as long as you pay for it.
Now here's the fun part! By outsourcing Varia, you can get smuggled goods at discounted OOC/hellbuck prices. This is especially relevant to those who do not possess Reaping Gloves of their own. Of course, that means that your character must be willing to pay the Varia IC money/dracos for it, but the exact amounts can be handwaved. Request your goods here! *
* Note that once your discount has been granted, you still need to submit an official request to the Hellmods. We don't distribute the rewards themselves, only discounts! Once your inquiry here is confirmed, you can link it in your comment to the mod post, and pay the reduced price.
Most customers will be getting the regular price, however returning customers OR customers who possess the Reaping Gloves themselves may request extra discount. Keep in mind that the latter's availability may depend on our current funds.

J O B S
"Lackey" is an entry level position available to people who aren't trustworthy or otherwise ~Varia Quality~ (which includes being awesome, knowing 7 languages and a lot of ways to kill). A handy job application can be found here.
Varia are rather eccentric employers, although they pay well and are generaly very accepting of any and all quirks despite being arrogant hobags with little patience for imperfection or disloyalty. Granted, most of the time lackeys won't be tasked with crucial jobs, but they'll still be expected to take responsibility for flubbing it.
While not actively hiring, they will definitely try to seek out promising agents and/or murderers and try to sway them into alliances. Also, we can never have too many ice cream dealers. Seriously.
A L L I A N C E S
So you don't want to work for the mob, but you'd like your own business or services to be on friendly terms with the Varia. Maybe even with mutual benefits! If that's the case, feel free to fill out an alliance request instead. Be ready for parley on the terms.

Jason ToddRed HoodRequested Item: His gun, which is actually two guns combined, because why not. So it probably counts as 2 living world items.
Extra Discount? No
Other: Jason will approach with his face covered the entire time (see above), introducing himself only as "Red Hood." He'll be pretty affable and interested in the organization, asking questions about how to join and wondering how they managed to get such a great rep in the city. There's an undercurrent of "who'd you have to maim to become so successful" to his questions, but he seems more intrigued than resentful about it.

Currently, we're only covering the first two choices of the rewards shop - PCs have no way to reach specific, aka home worls yet. So if he wants His Specific Gun you're gonna have to purchase it the old fashioned way. D;
(The good news is I'm pretty sure it'll count as one item, though.)
Of course, he can still approach with the request ICly, in which case he'll be told that they're still working on a technology that would allow them to grab world-specific items, and refer him to a more experienced smuggler who'll be able to help him.
That aside, nobody will really bat an eye at the covered face thing. They've seen weirder, man. He'll be told that joining is pretty much filling an application and having a field test, but that everyone has to prove themselves through action before getting anything more cool than latrine duty (figuratively speaking). They won't get into much details about their rep, but mostly mention skill and hard work, possibly pointing out that they've been there over a year and have worked similar things back on the surface.
no subject
Jason will also take an application, but he won't fill it out right away. He'll ask what the "field test" consists of. :Oa
no subject
Or are you sure you want an Earth-brand pistol? 'Cause yeah that'd need to be smuggled in. Last question I promise.
He'll be told it's ~a surprise~. He may get a small job or another task to make sure he's not actually some nerd who'll trip over his shoelaces when faced with a wild Hellcat or a small fry thug.
no subject
I think that's it for the questions he'd ask right off the bat. :|a If the Varia ask around, they might hear about Red Hood poking around in other people's business, just in case that'd ping their interest in the future. But yeah, thank you for all the answers!
no subject
And great, come again!
NOW THEN FOR THE PAINKILLERS --
confirmed!
Jason will get a package of... whatever he wanted, weed or aspirin, maybe a lucky mix of both if Squalo ends up Reaping someone from a drug-addict occupied alleyway. Either way, painkillers! Hell yeah. It'll cost you 5 hellbucks in the official store.
Squalo's Hellbuck balance: 744 - 5 = 739
