Item added: Emerald Plastron

Description: Sonic the Hedgehog was a basic bitch. He spent all that time collecting Chaos Emeralds to turn himself into Super Sonic when he could've fashioned them into a charming necklace like this instead. Constructed from somewhere between five and a million tiny emeralds, this broad, collar-like necklace is known as a plastron. This particular item was liberated from the strong room of a cruise ship during a robbery targeting a minor European royal. If you ever see your faction leader wearing one, you can bet your ass you ain't getting those OC payouts anytime soon.

Item added: Alexandrite Manchette

Description: Alexandrite Manchette was a Swiss 19th-century pedophile who was the first man put to death using a steamroller. That isn't true, but it sounds like it could be. Named after Alexander II of Russia, alexandrite is a gemstone that changes colour under different lighting, appearing green in daylight before shifting toward red or purplish tones indoors. If you're wondering why it always appears red or purple to you, it's probably because you never leave the house. A manchette is a broad, cuff-style bracelet that wraps around the wrist. It's a bunch of jewels on your wrist, basically. Not much more to it than that.

Item added: Ruby Brooch

Description: Rubies have been prized for thousands of years, mostly because humans have always enjoyed paying obscene amounts of money for shiny things. We're very much the magpies of the land. This particular ruby looks remarkably similar to the Djävulens Rövhål, a priceless, blood-red stone mounted inside a ceremonial brooch. It was stolen from a minor European royal aboard a cruise ship passing through Torn. Of course, you know nothing about that, do you?

Item added: Government Contract

Description: A government contract is a formal agreement granting a private business the right to carry out work on behalf of Torn City. Projects can range from small local jobs to major public works, with companies competing for the privilege of spending taxpayer money as inefficiently as possible. In theory, contracts are awarded on merit and value. In practice, kickbacks are so common that this document may as well come with a detachable check at the bottom.

Item added: Court Order

Description: This court order permits the bearer to seize items of value from the listed debtor. Consisting of several sheets of clerical bullshit, it effectively legalizes the theft of property on behalf of the City of Torn. If there's a phone bill you've forgotten to pay or a stack of overdue car payments against your name, these documents authorize a Taser-wielding meathead to steal your shit with the full backing of the law.
