(Money system for my world: Bone Shards: Description: Bone Shards are small fragments of animal bones, meticulously cleaned and shaped into smooth-edged pieces. They represent the most basic unit of currency in the post-apocalyptic world, symbolizing resourcefulness and survival. Relative Value: 100 Bone Shards = 1 Clay Token Clay Tokens: Description: Clay Tokens are handcrafted circular tokens made from pressed clay. Each token is molded into specific shapes and sizes, bearing unique engravings or imprints that denote their value. They are more durable and valuable than Bone Shards, representing a higher denomination of currency. Relative Value: 1 Clay Token = 100 Bone Shards Gemstone Scales: Description: Gemstone Scales are large, polished gemstones of exceptional rarity and beauty. These gemstones, such as diamonds, emeralds, or sapphires, are carefully cut and shaped into scales that are highly coveted by individuals and factions alike. The intricate patterns within the gemstones shimmer and captivate, signifying immense wealth and influence. Relative Value: 1 Gemstone Scale = 10 Clay Tokens or 10,000 Bone Shards)

Current setting is New York "4,000 Tokens for 782531 is the starting bid. A handsome lad of 19 years, training in mechanics and basic technology. Can read and write, his math skills are more advanced than most males his age. Starting bid at 4,000!" It has begun, the selling of humans to other races to do what they wished. Oh how far the world of humanity has fallen, a race that used to be superior was now the dregs of life. It amused Phoenix, also know as 236591, how history talked of the change of power and in some ways she believed mankind deserved to die out...but not to be put through this, even though the human race was known for doing this exact thing to each other. The irony always sat funny with her in regard to this. "12 Scales, highest bid for 782531, do I hear 13 Scales???" The centaur; a male with long black hair braided down his slightly toned and highly tanned back and across his ebony flanks, eyes cold and dark brown with clear cruelty behind his gaze as it flickered over to Phoenix and grins once as if to tell her that she was next. This started the beginnings of a panic attack; breathing beginning to become shallow and her vision was clouding, yet she closes those mint green orbs and counts to 10, matching pace with her heartbeats to try to calm herself.

While the commotion onstage unfolded, a cloaked figure wove through the crowd bumping shoulders and leaving a wake of flustered faces who already seemed offended their bids had been outdone. None of them seemed to think about the intrusion too long as they were quickly swept back up in the moment while their compatriots continued to holler. The uncomfortable feeling of being boxed in on all sides by strangers began to pull Duncan more to the edge of the crowd where the auction pieces were being shown and he could have a bit of respite from the pressure. The boy currently being sold looked terrified as shards and tokens rattled at him. The oppressing feeling of not knowing who stood beside him quickly became a sickening one. But Duncan came here for one of these unlucky humans, and he intended to leave with one - not this one though. As the boy was passed off to be prepared for the next terrible chapter of his life, the centaur went to grab another stock for auction. As soon as he brought out the next human, the crowd's excitement began to bubble and what was already a cacophony of deluded scum became an electric hum of greed. Everyone seemed to be preparing to outbid. Duncan could see why. She was gorgeous: feminine, warm red locks of flowing hair, slender figure, but he got an impression of something else hiding behind her pleasing yet panicked eyes. She was what he came for. Her potential was palpable. He shifted back a step and let his previous space be filled in by someone eager to get their bids heard.

The sounds of the crowd roared as Phoenix was dragged roughly by the chains attached to the cuffs that were so tight to her wrists that her fingers were going numb and her nails had begun to turn blue, occasionally she flexed them so that she was able to keep some circulation going. A huff slipped out from her full lips as she strumbled to step forward, yet Phoenix held her head high, pride and amusement stayed in her gaze. Once the lights hit, others could see that her eyes weren’t merely dark brown. A warm, rich, and inviting shade with a mix of light brown tones like that of milk chocolate and the golden tones that came from caramel. Her hair was of rich and luxurious quality, resembling the deep red hues of a dark ruby with vibrant copper tones. Phoenix had an elegance about her, a slender frame with delicate curves, and yet the way she stood indicated a physical prowess that the other human slaves just didn’t seem to have as she did. The bidding had finally paused at 2 Scales, which was the largest any slave had ever been sold. A large part of her was praying for someone else to outbid the fat slob in front eying her down like a piece of meat. It wasn’t hard to tell what the lecherous creep that looked as if it were the offspring of a troll and an orc. Wrinkling her nose as a stench hit it she realized it smelled so bad that Phoenix was doing all she could not to vomit right there, though there wouldn’t be anything that came up other than stomach acid.
