➊ [hustle and bustle. hustle and bustle. always something going on in this place. with stalls huddle up close to the shops to snap up potential buyers, coated merchants pacing and leaning within their booths trying to capture an eye of interest, the place was one potential purchase after another. it might be safer to come here during the day, but that makes it far easier for someone to notice something that shouldn't be happening. a hand swiping across the side of a stall, fingers delving into pockets for an ill-gotten gain, even a distraction to pull attention away from the prize.
among the shops and booths, or even wandering among the bars after majority business hours, there's talk about interesting items for trade. nothing new to most listeners, but what might catch the interest if what's being offered. trench certainly presents just about anything in the willful machine, and items from sleepers' homes wash up on the beaches of the farther shores all the time. but some of these things aren't so easy to come by. yet whoever's doing the dealing seems to have quite a stockpile of common comforts from what, to some people, may sound a bit more "modern" and familiar with their lives back home.
it would take some investigating, actually shown interest in the offers, but ultimately, the trail leads to a bar in the back of the district, nighttime mist making the front of the building hazy and causing the lantern outside to glow within the fog. a surly lot inside, people who want to stay out late after the merchant day and not go home just yet, or those who aren't interested in returning to their carts to sleep for the night. the clock's barely struck 7 and it'll begin its two-hour winding period to 9. but within those points, look for a man in the rear of the bar, sitting in a black cloak, hood over his head and a cigarette drifting coils of smoke from one glowing end. shouldn't be too hard to recognize... after all, his face is covered in burn scars, but those turquoise eyes of his seem to glow within the shade.

OOC: during the april event, where portals opened up to other worlds, dabi spent the majority of his time hunting through the portals and finding ones that connected with convenience stores (corner stores or gas stations as well), which he then proceeded to loot as much as possible. carting back bags of this stuff while awake, he's amassed quite a stockpile of various wares you'd find in those kinds of shops. below are a few categories of items and samples of what you can find within them; these kinds of stores stock a range of everyday items.
Food - non-perishables, canned foods, dried foods, long-lasting candies and snacks, etc. Drinks - coffee, tea, soft drinks, canned beers, wines, etc. Tobacco - cigarettes, pipe tobacco, cigars, e-liquid and e-cigarettes, lighters, etc. Medical - over-the-counter drugs, bandages, suture kits, compression items, etc. Toiletries - hygiene products, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soaps, etc. Cleaning - disinfectant wipes, cleaner fluids/sprays, sponges, gloves (heavy + disposable), etc. Household - napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, fabric towels, washcloths, etc. Electrics - flashlights, lanterns, batteries, air fresheners, simple appliances, etc. Jewelry - cheap store products, earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Apparel - shirts, shorts, pants, jackets, socks, underclothes, etc. Toys - simple and compact items, cards, marbles, jacks, gum, etc. Office - paper, pens, pencils, notecards, notepads, calculators, rulers, tape, staplers, etc.
feel free to devise how you heard of him and reached the location above. it's barter based, so if you have something useful he wants, then a trade can be made. keep in mind that trades worked out in the bar are only worked out vocally. dabi will agree to meet at the bar again or at another location to do the actual trade, which can be done through omens instead of in person meetings.]
