Night Market 2026
From Spindizzy Wiki
Mako shouts "Bingeley Bongeley Beep! The mists draw in, the evening rises, the Night Market Gats appear in the PI Spaceport . t #29408 and enter the gates! (This message may repeat)" (Public-shout)
You feel a wrenching sensation...
Spaceport(#29408RLJA)
Right on the edge of the disc is the Patashu Industries Base spaceport. Due to the unique geometry of Spindizzy, it's much more like a traditional airport than you'd expect - runways, landing pads and hangars extend right up to (and even into!) the void of space, the atmosphere and gravity meaning that ships can take off and leave straight into the 'space' beyond. Kobold crews and wheeled vehicles are busily moving around to pack and unpack aerospace vehicles moving between hangars and launches. Of course, not all the spaceships are pragmatic in design - others are sculpted like majestic and impressive robotic dragons, gryphons and other species. And for needs where directly lifting something into orbit is needed, the grandeous Space Elevator sticks straight up as far as you can see, even when you tilt your head back and squint, a towering needle that eventually ends in some kind of circular dome covering a small part of the sky like a moon.

Dropped.
Standing here, out in the middle of nowhere, somewhere has erected a large wooden gateway. It looks like an odd mixture of traditional fantasy and modern. Two tall pillars stand, big and red and oaken, capped at the top and bottom with golden bands. Across the top is a neon sign, big and glowy, with giant letters in multiple languages. You think you can pick out some standard, Elvish, Altarian.... it seems to shift and display several at a time, alongside some christmas-light like decorations. From somewhere far-off, you can hear the distant sounds of many, many people, music, and the general din of a crowd echoing around. The gateway invites you to <enter market gate>.

You step through the gate and are briefly enveloped by whirling lights and sounds, stepping out into the main concourse of a busy market!
Night Market Concourse
Lights, music and scents assail your senses as you walk between countless stalls set up in rows, with little pathways set between them. Sometimes, an area opens up into an big circular clearing with a central feature. A bonfire, a big stage platform, a giant screen, it varies.
All around, different stalls hawk different goods and services. Some are people selling various crafted goods. Clothing, toys, Jewelery, all sorts of things. In other stalls, scents of all sorts can be found. Food, snacks, drinks, and other things are offered. A third set of stall provides entertainment in the form of carnival games, games of chance, or other things, while under some larger tents entertainers ply thier trade. ... occaisionally poorly, in the case of a few comedians.
There does not appear to be any discrimination between species, gender, or age here. While many are dressed in general fairgoing clothing, or simple light fare, you can see species of all sorts, both fantastic folk of St Marin's to visiting aliens from the spaceport. To one side, a goblin, a robot, and some sort of bright blue alien with three eyes and antennae engage in some sort of debate, none speaking the same language as the others, but all discussing over drinks. Elsewhere, a venusian is dickering over the price of some colorful fabric with a dwarf. If you've an eye to shop, or sell, tonight's the night!

[OOC] Mako says, "Nina: You came in just after I'd said that I wasn't sure in the end if people had seen the market gate cause hte pi starport was busiuer than I thought."
Amy has a variety of spells and items and tools for sale viewable by 'look livingstone'. She greets. "Hi Pata. Went more general this year."
[OOC] Nina nod o.o
A red-glowing sign Livingstone Enchantments hovers in the air above this table with a faint hissing noise. It is decorated with the famous Nautilus shell. The table itself contains a multitude of products from small charms to bigger tools in glass-topped sections. (The table appears to have no legs.) Atop the table is a weasel. Behind the table is sometimes a Lynx. Underneath the table are boxes, and the smell of waffles. The various sections are labeled:

Tss'Renia sets up a little table with a bunch of nuclear cores made of reclaimed space debris.
Trisha appears out of a crowd.
Trisha has arrived.
Trisha is soon peering over Amy's stall as well. Patashu actually has to step to the side to make room owo;
( "Wierd" is relative. We have Venusians with various crystalline doodads, while several creatures that resemble Greys only they're purple may be getting krunk on helium at a modified shisha bar style tent.... )
Tubelynx scurries over to investigate the crystalline doodads.
Westly appears out of a crowd.
Westly has arrived.
Trisha points with two fingers at Antitransmutation and Presence. "How much for those two."
Beata spies someone familliar. Goes over to greet Amy. "Shorah," they whispers. "Happy to see someone I know." And then wag.
[OOC] Niny'ah deidles, had to bring in groceries, but now haas Tacos!
Tss'Renia wavies to Niny'ah, "Want some nuclear cores?"
Amy bows a little as Trisha walks up, "Ah, hello -" Now there's a lady who knows what she wants. "Yes, those, my most popular model! I made a bunch... The presence is a little harder and rarer. Presence is blockable, I should mention, but will flicker if its being blocked. Altogether, that'd be..." she quotes a price. She charges a bit more than she used to, but we're still talking less than a major appliance.
Vahno says, "...nuclear cores."
Niny'ah says, "uh. I don't know what I'd Do with them"
Vahno says, "...Feed em to Pata?"
Patashu sliiides over to Reni. :3?
Tubelynx smiles at Beata! "Hello hello! Strange isn't it?"
Trisha bobs her head, absorbing the information. She does a quick double check of her loadout while holding up the charms to make sure they don't destructively interfere in resonance, but it seems okay. "Do you take gold pieces? I figure you might prefer bartering though."
( The crystalline structures resemble things like crystal brooms, crystal blenders.... one of them may actually blink ayou. o.o )
Vahno says, "Hrm... wonder if they've got clothes here..."
Amy nodnods, "I can do that. Also I can exchange currencies, looks like people will need it. Barter though?" taking a closer look, "...Heh, almost any mage will barter. Whatcha got?"
Ping has teleported in.
Ping has arrived.
Ping bounces in.
[OOC] Ping unidles some!
Tss'Renia shows the core to Pata. It is cylindrical, 6cm * 18cm, with heavy duty four prong bayonet socket at the bottom. "Fission based, self regulating, made from reclaimed spacejunk that was transmutated in a Uranium+Plutonium base with water moderator. Think of them as a SMR, but way S and very M.
[OOC] Trisha says, "(double checking lore -)"
You rumblesqueak, "Yeah I definitely want it. I hoard these things, you don't have to ask me twice."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I have twelve left. I ran out of spacejunk to clean. You can have them all!"
Patashu goes 'yay'!. "What kinds of things do you want in return?"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Nothing, you already did help me out."
Patashu beams, okay!
[OOC] Mako waves to people showing up. So, just in case people wonder, this is less a curated thing and more of a conference kinda deal. If you're a crafter, food, gadgets, tosy, whatever, you can show them off, you can recruit for plots, etc. :3
Elaraea meanders over to Amy's booth. What else is on offer?
Tss'Renia puts the XSMRs into a box, gives them to Patashu.
[OOC] Nina is not braining rn, unfortunately. z.z
[OOC] Westly waves! Was wondering that! Hekk yeah, let's sell some books, or ... barter for THINGS!
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Should be very useful for your big mechs launching smaller mechs. In the small mechs."
[OOC] Mako says, "No worries. You can set back and relax, watch, and enjoy the show. :3"
Amy has a list! 'look livingstone'. "Hi Ela!"
Patashu accept!
Beata dooks! "Normally these things go in one ear and out the other," he mentions to Tubelynx. "But..I'm looking for a graduation gift." Mink holds hands slightly apart. "Nilan is finished apprenticship." pocket mink. Also distracted mink. May well not get to the getting part tonight.
Felyne Trio have set up a pop-up izakaya. Skewers, noodles, grilled goodies, juice and beer.
Tubelynx hmmms! "And what is Nilan apprenticing in?"
Niny'ah gets a triple skewer from the Felynes and holds them Wolverine-blades style in one hand while browsing.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I could probably dismantled the Dread Springboard once it is done being an art exhibit in Feedback, make more cores."
Bubblepop has arrived.
Amy says, "Mainly I got scrolls, passive items like protection gems, and active items like the Mindteeth. Also standard mage supplies.""
Westly appears from the portal, dragging a little cart. He finds a convenient spot and sets up a table. He snaps out a little tablecloth, and then begins putting books on the table. So many books with so many different covers. As he does, he looks around, checking out what everyone else has...oh yes, he's keeping an eye out for ... something. He stands behind the table, putting up his sign "Hand made journals and sketchbooks. Most for 25, except the ones that aren't.
Bubblepop waves, pushing in a vending machine on a dolly. "Hello!"
Elaraea says, "Can't go wrong with protective charms, although gotta make sure they either don't interact with 'mon move energy or take them off for sport fights."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Oh Amy, did you end up making anything useful out of the plants you added to Cornucopia?"
Bubblepop drops Hyperpop Vending Machine.
Westly waves to Bubblepop!
Bubblepop sets the vending machine up mostly out of the way. "And open for business! ...Kinda! We didn't have a stall ready, so an Offical Hyperpop Vending Machine will have to do!"
Lightspill appears out of a crowd.
Lightspill has arrived.
Lightspill prowls in.
Featherwing orders some food and drink from the Felynes and mentions his orchards for juices.
Ping waves to LIghtspill.
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Lightspill, I sold out all my XSMRs."
Westly's got a booth. He's selling journals and sketchbooks.
Amy waves, "Hi Tss'renia. Good question. They're a slow growing plant but might have some results by now"

Bright! Colorful! Overly Energetic! It's an Otter, all Pretty and Pink! They stand about 5 feet tall, with a pair of cute, short round ears doing almost nothing to add to their height. They're both a bright pink and they peek out of a short mess of darker pink hair. Their face is bright and pink and ottery, with a short muzzle all nice and pink and tipped with a dark pink, heart shaped nose. On their left cheek, their fur sports a large, dark, star patch.
Their body is a bit on the thicker side, with a sturdy, aquatic athleticism to it. Most of their fur is a pretty bright pink, with splotches here and there of darker patches. Their arms are on the thick side, but clearly built for swimming, and each ends in a slightly oversized paw, webbed and dark pink and each digit tipped with a glittery pink claw. Their hips and waist are a fair bit on the thick side, though still athletically built, with legs covered with bright pink fur and darker pink splotches, and ending with big ottery paws, webbed and clawed much like their hands. And to finish off this colorful creature, they've got a great big thing of a tail, nice and thick and easily half as long as they are tall!
Carrying: Copper Medal for Fashion, 2016 SpinDizzy Olympics - Gold in Rock Paper Scissors, Copper Mecha-Construction Medal for 2016, Gold Medal for Obstacle Course, 2016 SpinDizzy Olympics - Copper in Racing, Vahno's Spellbook, Aldrinor for Mayor 2016 Plush, Cherry Blossom Crystal Keychain, Custard Bun, pinch of amethyst purple powder, pinch of bright yellow powder, pinch of deep viridian powder, pinch of intense rose powder, pinch of iris blue powder, pinch of malachite green powder, pinch of neon pink powder, pinch of pumpkin orange powder, pinch of royal blue powder, pinch of snow white powder, pinch of vibrant plum powder, Skunky Society of SpinDizzy button, and Twelfth Night ornament 2017
Tss'Renia goes over to Westly, looks through books, feels papers.
Niny'ah finishes one skewer, and makes sure her free hand is clean before flipping through a journal. "One of these would make a nice logbook for the Speers..."
Tss'Renia says to Amy, "Oh, good!"
Beata also would (not) like an argh computer combo with extra grumble USB socket and a side of flaky keyboard.
Westly perks up. "Hiya!" He grins. "I use 24 lb extra bright white. Except in these..." He picks one up. "This one's reainbows." He tells Tss'Renia.
Niny'ah says, "right now I'm just using one of those cheap Composition Books."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I typically write on Rhodia paper or Midori. Both drink up my very wet and broad nibs."
[OOC] Trisha says, "(nearly ready)"
Westly nods a few times. "That makes sense. If you write with a broader nib, or would like a larger book, that's something I can do, provided I can source the paper." He grins. "And you get the bonus of having whatever cover you like."
Lightspill pads over and hugs Tss'Renia
[OOC] Lightspill afks for a bit.
Tubelynx earflutters. "...Someone just said 'broader nib'." Beelining in the direction of Westly's stand.
Vahno says, "Special Interest Keyword."
Westly grins and dips his head to Lightspill and Tubelynx. "Hello!"
Tubelynx gophers upright unsteadily. "Someone said broader nib!! Do you have those!?"
Beata bites his lip. "oooh. Word. Person who intercedes for others." Mink looks a mite pained. "Personally person." Oh! "Like that place with the turtle and elephants." No wait.. Arrrgh. "Kind of?"
Nina vanishes in a column of shadowy glitches, which shoot into the sky and briefly become plastic-hippopotamus-shaped.
Nina has left.
Trisha places an octahedral cyan crystal (longer on one axis than the other) on the stall. It's not quite a perfect cut.
Trisha growls, "This is a Xylean Enhancement Crystal, currently unwritten. The idea is, you etch runes inside of the crystal (or on it - easier to do but also more prone to being eroded), the crystal itself is an excellent capacitor for and absorber of ambient mana, and the runes activate and do their thing based on a resonance signal. It's basically our modular way of upgrading and modifying equipment - etch the quality you want and hang it or embed it."
Tubelynx nods to Beata, "Counselor?"
Westly dips his head to Tubelynx. "I'm just a bookbinder...no nibs here, I'm sorry." He gestures to the table, pointing at the many, many colorful books.
Tss'Renia picks up Lightspill!
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I like wet and broad nibs, so satisfying to write with. Especially if you have shimmering ink."
Amy hmmmms, and nods! "I'll trade for a unique item like that! Sounds a bit like Jovestone. Did you want rings, pendants, or loose gems?"
Beata oh! "Grag! That's it, a Grag." Or that thing the Earth-people tend to end up with..
Featherwing finishes a plate and reaches into his pocket dimension for some zani to pay the felynes before splooting next to their booth.
Beata sez, "But inside the Outside."
Trisha growls, "Pendants, please. "
Westly nods enthusiastically. "I do love shiny inks," he says smiling. "Like those ones that are thick enough to really have a thick flow that almost swims before it sinks into the paper.
Vahno leans on Niny.
Tubelynx selects pendants and puts them in a little silk bag, passing over. "Thank you for your patronage!"
[OOC] Amy says, "wrong puppet"
Amy selects pendants and puts them in a little silk bag, passing over. "Thank you for your patronage!"
Tubelynx regards westly, and sploots out. "Oh."
Tss'Renia looks to Tubelynx, "What kind of nib are you looking for?"
Mako broses sections. Eventually wanders over to Westly's. "Could us a new book or two...
Tubelynx says, "I had a broad nibbed pen once! But it died and I could never find another. Except a few that were literally cursed.""
Westly grins to Mako, dipping his head. "Hello!" He chirps happily, before tilting his head to Tubelynx. "Literally cursed?" he asks, raising his dark eyebrows.
Tubelynx says, "wednesdays are weird."
Westly grins. "Apparently!"
Vahno says, "...cursed how?"
Trisha headbobs, taking the pendants, then examining them. How do they look physically?
Tss'Renia looks through a box of fountain pen supplies, "You need a nib for what type of pen? Bock? Jowo? TWSBI? Kaweco?"
Beata adds, "Like a fancy tool set for a machinist. But for turning and shaping ideas. Know that sort of thing?"
Tubelynx regards Tss'Renia, "I have ..." blinks a few times, "Kaweco yes, I have a kaweco! But it only came in a fine."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "The 060 nib? For a Sports? I have a medium, but not a broad in spare."
( The pendants look like little golden nautilus shells, with one gem where the eye would be. The red one just looks like a gem. The green one is mostly lit up right now, going dark occasionally when nobody's paying attention to Trisha )
Mako will select two or three nice books and get those from westly. Either with cash or exchange, whatever he's up for. :3 Then wander over to see what other goodies there are....
Tubelynx considers, "I'll try the medium! Anything's better than fine. What do you want for it?"
Niny'ah says, "Mako, you tried the skewers?"
Mako says, "I taught em how to make those. :P"
Tubelynx hmms at Beata. "Writing assistant? Coach? Consultant? Scientist, in the old fashioned sense of the word?"
Westly dips his head to Mako. "Thank you!" He chirps, writing down which books were purchased. He does look a little shifty eyed, and like he was about to ask something...but, doesn't.
Additional Pendants created with number 37223.
Description set.
Home set.
You hand Additional Pendants to Trisha.
Trisha headbobs to Amy, "Thank you." Before stepping aside.
Niny'ah says, "Nice"
Amy bows in return! And examines the crystal she received
Mako says, "The best are the chicken ones with some light grillfrying and then based with the peanut sauce. >:D"
Vahno says, "Ooooh..."
( Amy: You can think of it as the discipline equivalent of good, alchemically pure glass. It's just a material that refines well, absorbs and holds mana well, and can hold and reliably run runes. It's cyan and faintly glows when absorbing mana. )
Mako also takes soem time to peruse amy' stuff. She always likes to se what othrs can come up with
Tss'Renia hands the mid to Tubelynx, "Nothing at all."
Tss'Renia ... medium nib. Wow.
( How it interacts with your flavour of metaphysics is up to you, given the established properties it has. )
Tubelynx accepts it in jaws. "tnnk nh!" and scurries away
Westly watches Tubelynx skitter away, grinning.
Amy plucks it from Tubelynx and puts it in one of her many pockets
Tubelynx returns to Beata!
PatchO'Black appears out of a crowd.
PatchO'Black has arrived.
PatchO'Black mews, "HellO!"
Mako waves to a patchy.
Westly waves to Patchy from his booth, with many books displayed on it.
Attached to the skirt of Trisha's armour are two pendants: Golden nautilus shells, with one gem where the eye would be. The red one is Antitransmutation. The green one is Presence (lighting up based on how much attention is being paid to her, darkening otherwise, flickering if jammed). They were purchased from Amy at the Night Market of 1st June 2026.
Tubelynx says, "Hi Patchy"
Vahno will snag a skewer or two from Mako's stall.
Felyne Trio have set up a popup izakaya. Skewers, noodles and other goodies, juice and beer. There's room for setting up a stall if you want, or visiting various other stalls. (Or make something up, we got npcs!)
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Mako, you have any Baos?"
Beata continues trying to remember what word to use. Like being a scientist, yes. But on the other side....waiit. "Myth. But for operating it, not describing it." Surely there is such a job description. "Witch?" mink looks hopeful. "But not the physical objects."
Felyne Trio's Poka pipes up. "We've got Char siu Bao, a Long Bao, and a herbal one!"
Tubelynx seems flabbergasted enough it tilts its head more than 90 degrees. "...For... operating... a myth? Temple priest? Oracle?"
Vahno says, "Herbal?"
Tubelynx says, "herbal myth!?"
Westly looks longingly over at the Izakaya stall.
Felyne Trio nods. "The same kind of Greenleaf we use in the herbal noodle broth stock. Somewhere between a bok choy, a spinach and a lettuce, but with a high iron content. Good for you!"
Vahno says, "Wanna try one, Niny?"
[OOC] Amy says, "did I miss speaking to anyone? poke me if I did"
Lightspill has disconnected.
Beata's brain is the world's best dictionary and thesaurus. After being put through a coffee grinder. Put through a woodchipper. "Priest.." he rolls the word around in his mouth. "Yes. Like a fancied-up mental toolkit for being a priest."
Amy hmmms. "Well, what would he need for that. Something to remember his home and center himself by, perhaps."
Tubelynx does that, rather, while slowly wandering amongst the stalls.
PatchO'Black mews, "I can't stay long. Anyone want a hug?"
Westly watches the patrons move by, his eyes hooded though he seems like he has a very high awareness of everyone around. He looks at each of the vendors. It's a space port! You should be able to get just about everything here... And he's looking for something a ... little off market.
Beata hugs PatchO'Black!
Borris appears out of a crowd.
Borris has arrived.
Mako Wil lalways take a patchyhug
Borris pats PatchO'Black!
Niny'ah finishes her skewers and discards the empties, and goes over to see if Mako has a stall out
Borris Gruffs, "Patchy, are you going to bed already?"
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "Borris, IC-casual event in progress. Mako's Night Market. are you ICly looking for something to buy"
Featherwing has disconnected.
Borris is carried away when a runaway sputnik rams into him.
Borris has left.
( Westly: It's an interdimensional spaceport! You can get just about anything if you know where to look.... )
Westly figures he'll do that eventually!
Amy, while it's quiet, will trade for a piece of venusian xenotech. More for the material, than actually needing an umbrella. Next she checks out Westly's stand, "Those look nice, do you have that style in blue?"
Mako hey, window shoppers are welcome too....
Westly perks up when he's spoken to. "Oh! This one?" He digs around in his cart a moment. "I do..." He says, holding it up with a grin. "This one's... a journal, but I have more back at the bindery if you want a sketchbook." He says, setting it on the table for Amy.
Amy shakes her head, "No, no, that's perfect!" She fishes for appropriate money.
Westly grins and dips his head, giving a discount on the listed price. "Thank you!" He chirps happily. "I hope it serves you well, if you need more, let me know, yeah?" He says. "Do you want a bag?"
Amy says, "I have plenty of bags, but thanks Westly. Whatcha think? This fair's a bit livelier this year.""
Westly grins and tilts his head. "Not sure! I've not been to one before, but it's been really nice to have a few folks drop by to check out what I've been working on for so long."
Beata anticlimactically would then be heading to the book stall nearby in search of something to make into a Relto. For someone natively six inches tall. To Tubelynx, "A *mumble* *indistinct*, but in thought-form?" Perfectly good piece of kit, both to use or to put out on the metaphorical desk. (get the brain-splat out of the way, come back a little better prepared for the next episode)
Borris pats PatchO'Black, from afar!
Ping yawns a bit.
Ping squeaks, "I need to be getting to bed."
Beata snugs Ping!
Ping hugs you each. "G'night you all."
Westly's pretty sure he could make a tiny book... he has his ways.
Westly waves to Ping. "Rest well!"
Ping snugs Beata!
Beltrami hugs PatchO'Black, from afar!
Mako hugs a ping.
Ping squeaks, "Have fun, you all."
Ping snugs Mako!
Beltrami hugs Vahno, from afar!
PatchO'Black summons his cat basket, and departs for the Rose Garden.
PatchO'Black has left.
Ping is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth.
Ping has left.
Tubelynx ohhhhs, "you're looking for *thoughtforms*. Well. Maybe try the elven alley. or, um, the cthulian. I sould probably look for language books.."
Westly adjusts his inventory a little, setting out a few more books. He does pick one up and open it, frowning a little at the way the pages are sitting in the case binding. He does look around again, overhearing about different alleyways... He looks briefly for those, but...stays at his stall for the moment or three..
Vahno says, "THoughtforms?"
Niny'ah says, "tangibly reified ideas that aren't quite objects"
Featherwing has connected.
Finan appears out of a crowd.
Finan has arrived.
Anjali has arrived.
Finan carries Anjali with Finan.
Tubelynx climbs up on a post to look around crocodile dundee style. "Things look a little odder that-a-ways..."
Vahno waves to the newfolk
Anjali boggles quietly as she pads in, but isn't so distracted as to not return the wave
Mako wavers to new arrivals, browsing the stalls...
Anjali waves a wingtip to Amy and tubelynx!
Westly waves to the newcommers! He's got a booth with a bunch of journals and sketchbooks. They're clearly professional, but still hand made.
Finan ... OvO ... as he looks around. He is getting acclimatized to this place and manages to retain his manners and wave back.
Beata scratches her eyebrow. "I'll do that," the mink purrs to the stretch-lynx. Should at least offer to compensate for taking up so much time, yes? "Is there anything I can do for you?" she asks. Is sure Amy&co could use some more (literally) hand-purified Carbon-14, something like that?
Finan nods to Niny'ah as he sees her.
Amy is at her stand peddling stuff! She has mostly magic items. "Anjali! Finan! Hi!" While Tubelynx is exploring.
Trisha gives a polite nod to Anjali and Finan as they pass by.
Niny'ah waves! Directs Finan to the Felyne Trio's cooking stall for munchies before getting to the rest of the market
Niny'ah for her part, starts browsing for booths catering to magic analysis tools.
Finan swivels his ears and radars in on Amy. He scoots over in her direction. "Good evening, Amy. I found a pretty little bird and needed a break from the furnaces." OvO
Anjali wanders along with Finan and lingers near Amy to see what sort of loot she's acquired, though she ear perks toward the mysteries of the food stall!
Felyne Trio have set up a pop up izakaya. Noodles, buns, skewers....
Tubelynx isn't interested in carbon 14! Now that Beata's gotten her thinking about it, she wants to find the weird stuff too. Tubelynx is scurrying for an area where the buildings look a little more like grown masonry than tents and tables.
Mitsuki appears out of a crowd.
Mitsuki has arrived.
Tss'Renia has disconnected.
[OOC] Mitsuki was looking around the Cherry Blossom Gate, oops.
Anjali grins as well as one without teeth can, "ooh, have you got any sort of savory, meaty noodle concoction? The universe needs more things made form noodles"
Mitsuki lopes in, looking around!
Amy has acquired a big weird crystal! And an umbrella made of completely alien materials.
Anjali erms, "What do you take in trade? At the moment all I brought with me are shiny metal coins!"
Amy as she usually does at these things has her stand, [livingstone], selling mostly magic items
Finan is OvO tracking some of the more exotic looking aliens...
Anjali laughs to Amy, "I take it this odd crystal has completely unknown properties? Such is clearly the very best sort one can acquire"!
Felyne-Trio says, "We take coins, materials, barter, neopolis credits, and small metal cubes.""
Amy says, "I *think* it's like jovestone. A nice and isotropic medium. But rather more permanent too, at least the way I'm told they use it. "
Mitsuki scampers from stall to stall, popping upright to peek over various counters. They've brought nothing in their tailbags except for handfuls of armed mousetraps.
Anjali oohss, some of these noodles things seem savory and spicy. She accepts an unreasonably large bowl of thes and offers a generous amount of silver, such as she might at home. "ooh, thank you!" She semes to've brought her own chop stocks
Finan speaks before thinking. "And you can dicover by jove what it is?" OvO
Beata moves on to Westly. Something about *yay* big (smol), good for inking. Loose spine. If they know about the D'ni Art? Something exactly like that. Just in miniature. Conversationally, "Electric ink has its place, but sometimes you need the care that goes into a thing."
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "I wonder if we'd get any of the species from RttS-Verse in this kind of event"
Beata does not know, RttS?
Tss'Renia has connected.
Tss'Renia beep.
Anjali makes enthusiastic but not rude eating noises as she ogles Amy's find, too busy with hands or beak to do any sort of other investigation aside from eyes, "What does a jovestone do here ?"
Mitsuki squeaks and waves!
Westly's got a stall selling hand made books. They may be hand made, but they do look professionally finished. He perks up, and tilts his head to Beata. "I do have a few coptic stitched books..." He selects one of them, and then lays it open, and it lays absolutely flat, thanks to the way it's stitched. "Something like this?" He asks, before he finds a box full of much smaller books. One is two inches tall. "And...I have... these in this size." He says, setting them down as well. "If they're too big, let me know, I can do something more custom."
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "Runaway To The Stars, it's the setting for a webcomic about Being an Outsider, body image and communication problems, and understanding how to connect with your friends. it's also about Sopont AI, multispecies spaces, and rocket science."
[OOC] Patashu says, "if you're in the mood to spoof an NPC that would be interesting"
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "it features a Rocket Engineer, two professional translators (Lesbian married), and a Miscreant"
[OOC] Mako says, "Literally anything is open here, generally."
Amy says, "jovestone's kind of a truly neutral medium. it can ... be hot and cold at the same time? not exactly. but different energies can coexist in it at the same time. you can assmelbe spell in it without them going off until triggered."
[OOC] Niny'ah slides https://www.runawaytothestars.com/comic/rtts-page-1-and-2/?sid=41 Page 1 for Finan and Anjali
Anjali seems infinitely distractible in a good market as she stares at everything everywhere all at once, though without any googly eyes. "Fabulous! Can you extract some of them discretely or do you have to pop the entire store in one fell swoop ?"
[OOC] Anjali says, "Oh! I have seen this before and forgot all about it until just now"
[OOC] Anjali says, "this theme seems quite appropriate just now, even"
Amy says, "You can pop them with key words if you're careful. very good for spell storage. My staff uses something like it."
Anjali eats her noodles with astonishing speed and thoroughness yet wears nor spilsl noen of them
Anjali blinks to Amy as she thinks about the types of jewelry or enchanted devbices that could be made if such a stoen could be cute with care and skill!
( A young girl dressed in neopolis-class(Modern skirt and shirt with flowery jacket) clothing wanders down the paths, pulling one of those wheeled vertical suitcases and sucking on a juice pocket. Despite her appearance several folk seem to unconciously give her a wide berth, till she comes up to Westly's stall, and peers at his books on offer.... )
Westly perks up when his stall is approached. "Hello!" He chirps. "All of these were made by me, and if you don't see one that tickles your fancy, I can make something custom for you!"
Anjali ends up pausing at Westly's stall as well, admiring the binding and paper texture, "Have you got anything which might take an acidic sort of ink but resist water a littlel ?"
Tubelynx fuzzerpillars its way around the border of the less-eludican section. It doesn't seem to be able to cross the boundary, instead wrapping straight past and back from the other direction a couple times, until an acolyte-looking thing in monk robs explains something gutturally and gives it an amulet. Accepting the amulet, Tubelynx winks out.
Beata iRL watched the Mathologer video about the A-series paper, which can get tiny, but it's messed up because the sizes are always in integer mm.
Westly dips his head at Anjali. "I've got some that's water resistant, but I'm not sure about the use of acidic ink..." He hums softly. "Do you have any on you? I've got some spare offcuts and we could try it?"
Finan follows behind Anjali, lookign at the stalls she is. She realizes she looses him at a moment when he sees some intricate gears and equipment. OvO ... He blinks and then looks around before catching up again.
Anjali ear perks to Westly and nodnods, "I do! I have more mundane inks as well. I'm hoping for an art pad or note pad that I can carry outdoors or onboard a ship but not fear for what's in it at the first rain cloud" She rummages in her packs and produces a few little bottles of differnet inks, and grin sove rher shoulder at Finan's expression
Vahno has disconnected.
Bubblepop falls asleep.
( The gears and equipment is a seller of clockwork avionics and systems, some purely mundane, others using a magic kernel to be able to interface with more magical ship systems. Hey, if there's high-tech and full-magic, why not meet in the middle? )
Athares appears out of a crowd.
Athares has arrived.
[OOC] Beata says, "Amused at having to defragment a disk in this day and age. It's the backing store for one of the varied disk emulators."
Westly nods! He then digs around in his little trolley cart, and comes up with a piece of paper that...feels a little unusual. "Here, try it on this..." He says, before checking in with the young girl. "Is there anything you're looking for?" He asks, smiling a little.
[OOC] Mako says, "Guestsign!"
[OOC] Patashu says, "I got em"
[OOC] Mako thumbsup
[OOC] Westly says, "YAY!"
Vahno has connected.
Bubblepop wakes up.
Mitsuki squeak!
( The gears and equipment is a seller of clockwork avionics and systems, some purely mundane, others using a magic kernel to be able to interface with more magical ship systems. Hey, if there's high-tech and full-magic, why not meet in the middle? (re for Vahno and Athares) )
Anjali bounces slightly in place, "Thank you!" She takes the sample and scribbles with the various inks she brought, all strange foreign letters, some sigils, and an amusing little fast sketch of Amy and Finan next to a FOOMPing vial
( The girl lets Anjali go first, perusing the books, and finding one herself, a nice black cover one with red binding.... )
Anjali bows slightly to the little girl and makes space, "Pardon me, I got excited and distracted!"
Westly's got some water resistant paper. It does have a weird texture, but it takes rollerball ink really well. "I've got the resistant paper in lined and unlined, sounds like you're wanting a sketchbook." He says, gesturing towards a few books. "These...have that paper." He taps a few. "These are lined...and these..." He points to a few others. "Are not."
[OOC] Mako says, "And there they go. o.o"
Westly isn't sure about acid based! And it might take a while to other inks to seep into the paper.
[OOC] Anjali says, "Is there a theme music for commerce ? There mus tbe"
[OOC] Anjali says, "*1980s shopping montage with synthy new wave backing music*"
Athares wanders in mostly for curiosity's sake- but with a bag full of clinking jars to barter. He'll wave greetings to friends he sees- but as large as this place is, how long would it be 'till he bumps into folks?
[OOC] Patashu says, "guestgone, only responded once, was anyone expecting one?"
[OOC] Mako says, "Not I"
Tss'Renia bip
Amy has the [Livingstone] stand out. Tubelynx has disappered into one of the weirder corners of the market
[OOC] Finan says, "https://youtu.be/DFI6cV9slfI?si=kf6Mr6iPes6NBUil"
Felyne Trio have a popup izakaya for noodles, buns, skewers, juice and beer.
Westly's selling books himself! He's just got a table and the books out on the top of it. They're all hand made, but...professionally finished.
( The Girl holds up the book to Westly, and then, delicately, sniffs at him. *snfsnf*. "Hmm..... are you hungry?" She says in a soft voice. "What do you take for the books?" )
[OOC] Anjali says, "Exactly!"
Athares is likely to sooner or later wind up heading over to the fellows selling avionics- he's been cracking away at the problem of integrating his native tech with Quodlibetan tech, and that looks like a bucket of inspiration.
Westly tilts his head at the sniffing, before he tilts his head a little. "Always..." He says, even though it's a bit off hand. "Credits and barter." He says, nodding a few times. "I like that book," he says with a bit of a smile. "Some of my favorite colors."
Vahno reaches over... and snags Athares. "You."
[OOC] Mako says, "Guestsign again!"
[OOC] Patashu says, "got em again"
Amy earflickers, was that Athares? He's usually on the trail of something good... She leaves a large jeweled crustacean running her stand for a moment while she checks out the avionics too.
( The avionics vendor is .... no, down here. A therio parrot wearing a 'hi my name is' bird-vest with the name in some script legible only to others of their clan, it seems. "Welcome! Looking for something specific?" )
Anjali perks further to Westly as the inks set, and she picks out a trio of different books from the water resisty paper, one lined, two not, "Do silver and gold coinage work for you " She's already glancing repeatedly at Amy's stand as well. Not rudely, just.. easily drawn by a market
( Therio.. but about twice therio-standard size. Allowances must be made for uplift, it seems. )
Athares perks, is caught! Not that such would stop him but he humors Vahno with a pause, a nod and a smile. "Yes I am. Vahno."
Finan pulls out his coin purse on a chain to hisbelt. He opens it up and prepares to get Anjis purchase.
Westly perks up to Anjali. "Absolutely!" he says with a grin. "I can exchange, but wouldn't want to overcharge. Two silver?" He says, raising his eyebrows a bit.
Tss'Renia is a tired beep, wavies to everyone.
Westly waves to Tss'Renia!
Tss'Renia floats up and disappears into an invisible portal
Tss'Renia has left.
Featherwing has disconnected.
Finan grins and puts down 3 silver. "Two for the purchase and one to say no when she protests my getting it!" ;)
( The Girl gives a slight nod to Westly, and waits her turn. )
Beata is picking up graduation gifts for some of the Mink horde. One tiny book, 20x12mm or so, for a diminutive Explorer. A referal to an Another section of the market. And a, what would you call it, an object of a *personal* nature? Won't go into detail about that one, just that graduation is involved and it's an elective course of study.
Anjali grins over to Finan slightly, not to guiltily, she's learned to accept it with grace, "That would be lovely. Do you write or art, yourself ?" Anji squeezes against the falcon slightly, "It's important to respect your cultural norms to a degree!"
Vahno says, "How's you Athares?"
Westly grins and dips his head. "Do enjoy then!" he says, taking the coins, slipping them into his pocket. "If you want another, my card's tucked in the back." He perks a bit. "Me? Or..?" He looks to Finan and then inclines his head that way.
Finan says, "I am a good draftsman. You have seen my blueprints." OvO "
Anjali pauses for the little girl to have her time slice before answering, "You! I'm used to making my own tools, and so I actually have a number of nice pens that havne't been used yet"
[OOC] Vahno says, "Guest!"
Amy doubletakes as the proprietor turns out to be a large parrot. "...Oh! Uh. --Is that a dynamic mode converter? I've heard about those but never seen one." a bit of technobabble for bridging different kinds of systems
Anjali nodnods to Finan, "And with a steady hand even without armatures and straight edges!"
Westly smiles, standing up straighter. "I'm both, artist and a writer." He says, looking proud of himself. "I've...got a lot of books I've written in and...really like brown and red inks..." he chuckles softly.
Athares will possibly lead Vahno along if she wants to follow him, greeting the parrot on the- wait, no. Nah, these components aren't off stolen ships, presumably. "Greetings. In this case, not anything specific; I'm looking for converters I haven't seen before, any suitable for advanced thaumaturgical cybernetics." And to Vahno, "More busy than I'd hoped- but I still have time to explore this place, maybe next time I'll open an actual stall instead of just bringing salsa to barter." He smiles a bit.
Beata's own hand is, if sincere, still rubbish after years.
Athares looks over, also nods to Amy. "And greetings to you."
( The Girl pulls her luggage out in front of her and begins comically rummaging through it. She then pauses, and leans in to sniff delicately at Westly again a few times, and eventually produces several of those foil juice packet things, which she offers up to him. They have a cartoony bat mascot with a bat-winged tomato on them and (faux?) hazard striping. )
Anjali does a bit of rummaging in her packs and offers a few different pens for Westly to examine. They're artfully but practically carved, one of some sort of wood, two bone, one of some gunmetal grey stone. All the kind you'd dip into ink
( "Amy Lynx? Your magework is well-regarded in my clan for its thoughtfulness." They're using a lightly modified mindteeth, which Amy would probably recognize right off. They hop up to the display case. "It is! Clan's own design, with increemental input cogs with anti-backlash gearing..." The conversation probably trails off for several minutes in that vein, the technobabble thick and impenetrable to any bot already in the know. )
Anjali pauses and blinks, watching the child
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "Did You That anti-backlash gears are a real thing"
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "they're used in the drivetrains of ultra-precise gear drives like the laser head of a CD player"
( To any NOT* already etc )
[OOC] Mako says, "Vahno:Ye, Pata said they got it. I hope."
Athares, listening in to Amy's conversation with the merchant. He thought he might have to pay for this info.
Westly's attention is drawn to the juice packets, and he looks around. "Is that...?" He asks the girl, blinking owlishly a few times, his green eyes wide. He dips his head to Anjali, "I'll...be just a moment," he says with a bit of a embarrassed laugh.
Amy earflutters! Not often she's recognized in the wild. "Um, yes! Thank you! And you? Please to meet you. You've adapted the mindteeth! Balance point on the neck makes sense. How much for this device? Hi Athares."
Mitsuki falls asleep.
Anjali peeps and seems gently amused, and leaves the pens on the table for now, wandering over to peer at gears, steam devices, smokeless burners, and fancy gadgetry witrh Finan for a few moments
[OOC] Mako says, "And there they go again..."
( The parrot merchant lists a price that sounds pretty hefty, but it *is* some highly complex tight-tolerance engineering at work. They produce a standard business card from *somewhere*. It's actually a short-range portal spell with one end in their vest, the other in a stack of cards under the counter. )
[OOC] Patashu says, "guest1 left with no message"
[OOC] Mako says, "How odd."
Amy takes the card. She'll need to return to her stand to get some more cash. "I'll get it, but you'll have to wait a moment." About the same moment tubelynx returns for the same. She's going to leave the fair poorer than she came despite her sales, but regardless, still a good night. The money is just a bonus, she comes to these things for .. fate. serendepity. knowledge. and other such cliches
Finan is typical Finan. He is sitting at a kiosk with tons of modern electrical components, computer chips, fiber optic cable. He shows her a box of well made vaccume tubes, heavy resisters and copper wire... ^v^
Anjali tips her ears at uncertain directions as she picks up different selections of the gadgetry to turn about and look over. She recognizes the copper, at least. "What interesting artifacts!"
( "Quite fine quite fine!" The mode converter gets a card tucked into the corner of the case with 'Reserved', and the parrot's attention pivots to Athares. )
[OOC] Vahno is passing out...
Finan is fishing a pair of calipers from Anjalis bag of holding on his hip. He is soon measuring and locked in OvO. He starts parting with coin. "Save me tht time of fabricating them myself."
Beata yawny. Squeaks to Vahno.
Anjali grins impishly while he's all distracted and slips a silver coin or two into his pile while he's distracted, which is essentially the only time she can accomplish such things
Vahno pets Beata.
Athares while Amy's off will also try to get a card from the parrot merchant; he literally just brought salsa to barter, not expecting to make major purchases here. "I'm actually not sure I can afford most of this even if I took a moment to go home." If this were an anime, that'd be a sweatdrop emoji. "However, I should have much more to offer at a later time. I'm not sure if you do schematic trades? I should have much more to offer another day.""
[OOC] Athares says, "I should've reread that again before sending it, ah well"
[OOC] Anjali says, "I know this pain well!"
( Birdish headtilt in thought. There's some magic-enhanced radio traffic, then, "I think we can arrange such. What format are your blueprints in?" )
Amy returns to finish the purchase! No more from her tonight. She has the widget, and a very odd book, and that will do.
Anjali sidles up to Amy once she's wandered back from her shopping and kees. She offers over a small wooden casket covered in small, fanciful beach cues. "I brought you something, though not for trade"
( Amy's made the parrot quite pleased about the sale. It's a good bit of equipment and should serve well. )
[OOC] Anjali also ear flats at what the clock displays. She should have roused herself earlier
[OOC] Mako says, "No worries. Thansk for coming out."
[OOC] Anjali says, "Now I know that the night market exists and has interesting things!"
( The Girl nods to Westly. "Trade ya." )
[OOC] Mako says, "I run it... uh.. .every couple of years but can do it more if htere's interest. It's meant for traders, and advertising upcoming plots"
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "it's an Occasional thing"
Amy accepts the casket! "Oh, thank you. Um, what is it?"
[OOC] Mako says, "I firmly regret missing when Lightspill (I think it was lightspill) had something about flying tower roofs at the first one."
Athares tailswishes. "I keep them as both neural parcels and digital CAD files. I might not have much material right now, but I do have a sizable and growing collection of artifice plans you likely haven't seen anywhere else."
Westly nods enthusiastically. "Where...did you get this?" he asks, reaching out for them, before, if she allows, putting them directly into his pockets. "I... have... had a hell of a time finding anything like this..." He says with a little laugh, before frowning, digging through his pockets, finding his dark smoked glasses, slipping them on.
Anjali smiles and makes a vague opening gesture with her hands, "I made another of the knife sharpening crab golem-lets and thought you might like one!"
[OOC] Finan says, "Let me know when its happening. I will hopefully be more active."
[OOC] Mako says, "There'll always be a rpread post at least a week in advance"
( More bird headtilt, more magic radio traffic. "CAD files I can do. One moment." The parrot hops around a privacy screen int he back of the market stall and there's a Shimmering Sensation of a long range portal of similar magic-make as the devices on display. They return with a technomagical illusion catalog of devices that Athares can page through. )
Amy opens it up! "Ohhh! Thank you! o_o That is a good idea. Heheh, I'll have to warn Hackrey"
Niny'ah says, "Oh, Anjali! It's been a bit, did you figure out that Pantograph idea for micro-runes?"
Anjali giggles to Amy, "As long as he doesn't act too knife like it should be fine. Just.. just don't leave it among the spoons." It looks like a palm sized lozeng of some nebulously ceramic/bone like something when not deployed, seamless, slightly heavy, and artfully edged with rows of tiny hieratic letters around the unseen limbs.
Amy says, "Now I have to put it among the spoons. o_o"
Finan smiles. "It works quite efficiently. Unfortunately my butter knives are fit for surgery now.
Elaraea snicker
Anjali perks up to Niny'ah and grins widely, "I did, at the suggestions you had about getting depth and direction were accurate! In fact I used the technique a little to make a few things!" She gestures toward the tiny thing she just gave Amy
Niny'ah says, "very nice. I'm glad that idea helped."
Anjali advises Amy, "They may become lethally sharp.. it's still not so smart about what edges should be left dull"
( The girl smiles, just a little, to Westly. "All where you look. I'll find you again, I think." And stuffs the book she bought into her luggage. )
Anjali hugs Finan and waves to everybody, "Goodnight, all. Happy Marketing!" She also smiles to Niny'ah, "I haven't worked on the engine further, I've been distracted with golemcraft for a while!"
Westly tilts his head a little, and though his lashes can be seen blinking behind the dark glasses, the color of them is impossible to tell. He then nods a few times. "I'll...keep an eye out for you then...I'm happy to trade more." He says, biting his lower lip. "Thank you... you've...probably saved me." He says with a little laugh.
Mako earticks to Anjali. "Remind me some other time to ask about that, I've done some golemancy before...
Anjali bounces once or twice on her paws and nods to Mako, "About what I gave Amy or just in general ?"
Mako says, "In genreal"
Mako er, general
Amy turns the little golem over and over and carefully packs it back away! "I think I'm hitting my limit too...
Finan says, "Anjali left a golem in my knife drawer. It is precious to me now." ;)"
Anjali writes a note to herself briefly on a little slate slab with a talon tip as she nods to Mako!
Mako says, "I will have to show you the pooka. And Tamiko. And the Golem Body.."
Anjali kees to Finan, "fortunately they don't go a-wandering from their place!"
Anjali blinks to Mako. She is very curious indeed, now, especially because making any of substantial size or complexity is taxing in several ways, and takes many weeks!
Vahno says, "Golem body?"
Anjali waves to everybody and snugs Finan before launching herself skyward
Anjali is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth.
Anjali has left.
Mako flails at Vahno. "You've seen it!"
Athares earflares and watches, politely accepting the illusory catalog- so long as the data is real, the rest is window dressing. He'll quickly flip through it, that signature 'synth memorizing it pretending to be an organic skimming it' move. After a moment, he'll swish his tail forward and conjure above it an image of what looks like something between a vacuum chamber and a boiler, an explodable diagram and interactable. He'll take it between his hands to demonstrate; it's specifications for a rechargable battery meant to store the quintessence of fire potential, both in terms of heat and al/chemical reaction. "A simple sample of something common and reliable. If you're curious, I'm willing to show other examples." He'll provide all the specs, not hiding anything- it's easy to get the impression that he's not really too concerned with value and appraisal and honestly would rather just share all the data both ways, but this is a market and trading is the custom here.
( The offer in turn is rotated and examined with that peculiar twitching manner of an interested bird, with more radio traffic. A deal will be struck, details between the parrot and Athares. Athares is also offered the catalog as a trade-widget in its own right. )
Kandra appears out of a crowd.
Kandra has arrived.
Kandra skitters, chasing after Niny'ah! And Nina, and ... et al.
Kandra oh Nina isn't here
[OOC] Kandra didn't even register that there was a market. >.<; She was busy being miserable from going out.
Westly's got a stall where he's offering the books he's made. He's been chatting with a girl who has bartered for a book!
Felyne Trio has a pop up izakaya snackery. Several dwarves are now busy getting sloshed after work, while at least one elf is enjoying the soup....
Kandra promptly gets lost and wanders for a while, pausing to look at clothes and fabric, jewelry and crafted trinkets and plants and seeds. Also she'll buy a donut or some kind of similar tasty thing. ...Is there any chance she could find someone selling something that can accumulate and store magical energy?
[OOC] Mako says, "This feels like a very Spin kind of thing to say. :P https://www.awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/a-leap-of-logic"
[OOC] Niny'ah says, ".... yes."
Athares gladly accepts, giving it a closer look; if it's suitable for exchanging data through that portal link, this'll be a gift that keeps on giving. If not, he'll share his own contact details; he might live in the middle of nowhere but he does have network access. The battery indeed was a simple example; he's got an array of pieces he's been working on for energy and material transmutation and assembly; that probably tips his hand on what he's actually looking to do with this- not that he planned to keep it secret. He's slowly gathering the parts he needs to resurrect a nook of Xedwan style industry out in the desert, brought up to Quodlibetan standards by fusing these tech bases together. But, that's for the future. For now, gratitude shared over a deal made, he'll wish the bird well and, at the very least ask if the parrot would like some salsa just to try if nothing else. Either way, he's got a bundle of jars to trade still so je
Athares says, "-so he'll be off somewhere more casual to barter with them."
[OOC] Athares says, "Darnit"
Athares-so he'll be off somewhere more casual to barter with them.
[OOC] Athares says, "There"
( The parrot hops up to elbow-level somewhere on their stall to 'shake hands' with Athares. "That would be grand, please!" )
[OOC] Amy says, "goodnight all"
Amy goes home.
Amy has left.
[OOC] Finan says, "Skee skees to AMy"
[OOC] Westly waves! "Have a great oops."
[OOC] Kandra oops
Finan looks to westly. "She is too fast. Downhill Skeeing on my part."
[OOC] Mako says, "I mean, it IS 1am. This si why I didn't dictate a specific stop time. Stuff liek this is more a "We go till we fall over. :P""
Westly nods a few times.
[OOC] Kandra rubs her face and throat. how do I stop feeling like I've upset everyone all the time. >.>
[OOC] Westly loves it. He's doing some data entry stuff, so...it's been good. :3
[OOC] Beata says, "It is bedprep time."
Vahno has disconnected.
Bubblepop falls asleep.
Mitsuki wakes up.
Athares will shake on it. Hands? Maybe tail-to-wing? That's one way to shake hands with no hands involved. And heck, since his trial balloon of 'are gifts considered acceptable' turned up positive he'll just fetch a jar for the parrot and set it down with a bag of corn chips. The jar's a standard mason jar with a self-made label, Sunspot Salsa. It's medium heat, a kick to taste but not too much for a crowd. Rich on onion, red onion, yellow onion, an unusual choice to throw in a small bit of sauteed onion for a sweet note with the lime and a bit of avocado putting a spot of (relative) chill in the pepper's heat.
A large crane gently grabs you, pulls you towards a large plastic partition, and drops you into the prize bin. You roll to someplace out of the muck.

Westly starts packing his things up. He's pretty stoked with his sales today, glad to go home several books lighter. He puts his table up, and... waves to the rest of the people. "Have a good time everyone!"
Athares accepts all the same, still no hands involved. There is the question of how the parrot will open the jar and where it'll be stored but he figures if this parrot has some means to set up this shop and get all this merchandise in order the means will be available. "Feel free to stop by my parcel in Copperton if you visit Quodlibet; I might live in the middle of a desert but I don't mind guests.
Mako says, "Thanks for coming out~"
Westly grins and dips his head, before he hurries home!
Westly wanders into the crowd by the gateway and vanishes from sight.
Westly has left.
( "Noted! I will be in touch." )
_Ravel appears out of a crowd.
_Ravel has arrived.
_Ravel careens in, driving the plastic powerwheels firetruck, pulling a wagon several times its size! Assorted mustelids hang out the windows or cling to the roof. The radio is playing Vengabus.
Lightspill has connected.
[OOC] Kandra says, "so, *could* she find such a thing? >.>"
[OOC] Mako says, "In general you should be able to find almost anything in the market, although for what price is up for debate."
Kandra jumps, almost stumbling and dropping her half-eaten food! She does, however, succeed at the Reflex save to not get bowled over as Ravel zips by. 'U-uhhh-" Whoah, that's kind of adorable. ...oh they're gone. o.o;
Mako blinks. The Felynes begin prepping more food! "The Vengabus is coming. THE VENGABUS IS COMING!!!! @.@"
Athares carries on, looking pleased- ah, but he was late to show up in the first place and the market's namesake night won't last forever will it? Anyone familiar running a food shop? If not, he's likely to browse about, trading his bunch of salsa for a smaller bit of various samples of various culinary cultures before bidding farewell to- ah, Amy and Vahno have parted, so... He's musing all the while, once he gets some skill on cooking to terragen tastes, maybe he'll try porting Xedwan recipes over to the terragen tastes and ingredients.
Niny'ah . o O ( Weeo weeo )
_Ravel's Ferret Wagon skids to a stop. Mustelids disembark and, apparently misunderstanding the point of a market, skitter around trying to foist little takeout boxes of food off on random bystanders. Or, failing that, hiding them in bags and pockets.
[OOC] Mako suddenly flashing back to a thing where someone took teh vengabus theme, put it in a minor key, and made the most threatening dance song ever.
[OOC] _Ravel chortles
[OOC] _Ravel says, "Is this it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kaz4OfMK0M"
Athares smirks a bit at Ravel's entry, but indeed- oooh. He'll leave Ravel one last jar of Salsa before scooting. Maybe the spirit of trade? More likely just spreading the joy of new food to try in turn. "Thank you." But past that, he'll give a nod and thanks to Mako as well for putting up the rift and having us over here. "It's been a pleasure." And, 'till next time!
Mako has connected.
[OOC] Mako says, "Oof, connectionbibble"
[OOC] Mako says, "Not that link but same idea."
[OOC] Athares isn't sure if you saw my last pose, so- thanks for hosting this!
[OOC] Athares and with that, scoots
Athares wanders into the crowd by the gateway and vanishes from sight.
Athares has left.
( Several stoats and a much larger fishercat get distracted and chase each other in circles around Kandra. They came here with a mission! At least a little bit! )
Finan has disconnected.
Lightspill has disconnected.
Kandra blinks rapidly at the mustelids. "Um... hi?" o.o;
_Ravel approaches Mako and holds up a paperboard takeout box! They look so proud. :3
( The fishercat stops, languidly looking up and blinking at Kandra. "Hii- gack!" the stoats collide and bowl them over. )
Mako has disconnected.
