The Market Post

Who: Merchants and You
What: Open Market
When: M12 D14
Where: The Market
Notes & Warnings: Warnings will be in individual thread starters as players see fit. Here is the market OOC post.

The weather is starting to warm from the dead of winter, but it's still cool out. The morning in the market is foggy, too, so the warmer food is still getting a lot of attention. Soups and hot teas and cocoa (refined from the beans gathered in the planet's jungles).

After the recent efforts to clean up the town and the brief increased access to other universes, vendors there are a lot of vegetables brought in from that, too. This has been the first time in a long time there has been such a variety so take advantage of the displays. There are also people that have been trying out the potion samples here and there, doing things like attempting to set themselves on fire or inhale water. Luckily 99% of them are stopping when they're warned when their timer is running out.

There is the odd idiot that doesn't know how to hold his magic. Injuries won't be grave when they do happen, just incredibly stupid.

If anyone who helped investigate swamps wants to talk to travel agents about potential trips home, this is the chance to do it. Remember that you can also take visitors with you when the time comes around.

Voices, huh.

[He frowns at that. He thinks he probably knows who Niko heard. He remembers Linda suggesting that the swamp itself was playing tricks on them.]

Might've been the swamp. Never found a witch at the house we found.

[He guesses there still could have been one elsewhere, since they didn't cover the entire swamp. It seems just as likely that the swamps themselves could try to deter people from exploring, though.]

How would a swamp do that? Quicksand is one thing, but there has to be someone behind making voices only one of us could hear.

[Magic, or someone with psychic powers, she believes.]

You also found a house? Did it look like anyone lived there?
thumbsdown: (is it time?)

I dunno. Don't wanna rule anything out at this point.

[He doesn't understand the way that swamp worked. He doesn't think anyone does.]

Found a bunch of potions there. They were kinda dusty, though. Didn't look like anyone had been around for a while.
ratkicker: (serious talking)

Same here. We think we found the skeleton of whoever lived there, so it must have been abandoned for a long time.

[Sigh.] Think someone who sent us had a feeling that we'd find this?
thumbsdown: (watch it)

Maybe. Kinda wish they'd told us what we were looking for, if they knew.

[He's not sure why they'd have to keep it from them, if they knew what they'd find out there anyway.]

Guess it's too late to think about that, though.
