plundering. Anything and everything has a use here. The
most
useful personal items to be salvaged here are clothing, canned food,
weapons,
and shelter. Almost anything else is used for trade. The
locals
don't have much use for the furnishings that can be found in abundance
and trade with the aquatic nomads is vital to survival of the
inhabitants.
Virtually anything can be
gotten,
sometimes the condition of the item is less than perfect, but it can
still
fetch a price. Everything from clothes to human beings (yes I
said
human beings, certain
clans in LA act as slave breeders) can be traded here. The price
is almost always the same....... food, medicine, vehicles, drugs, and
alcohol.
Of course other trinkets might also be taken in exchange for salvage,
but
those are the basic necessities here.
Guides, protection, and
company
are also sought after, and the people of LA trade their services
willingly
to any who have gained their trust. Those who haven't or who
trespass
are dealt with severely. A guide is essential to outsiders
wanting
to travel in LA.
Many of the homemade items
that
are so vital to survival in LA are also very important to the aquatic
nomads
it trades with. The homemade water distillers for example are
invaluable
to the nomads. Objects like these, and the safe haven Lost
Angeles
offers to the aquatic nomads ensure good relations between the
two.
Whenever a pirate fleet comes to call, a huge event is made, as the
locals
treat their welcome guests to a celebration then the bartering
begins.
Angelino's will trade individually with the 
nomads,
as well as the clan making larger trades with the pirates as a
whole.
The major trading is done on a platform, where selected items are
auctioned
for goods by both the nomads and the clan, while the individual trading
between the two parties is handled in a more private fashion, usually
with
a lot of haggling.
If you want something cheap, chances are it can be found in LA.
