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.
impossibilities: (Cheerful)

I say take as much as you like, Wander. They're bound to have a lot more, and when you run out you will go back to pay for more, won't you?

[It made sense to her, she was already wanting to go try out different colors of hair after Zhu Li's visit.]

I can make many kinds, maybe not exactly like these. Mostly, I learned to make normal medicines and remedies.
folkscallmewander: (I'll do it myself!)

Yeah, but, I reckon they wanted folks to get only one or two, not a whole bunch. [He pockets the Potion of Leaping, but turns away from the stand afterwards.] It's only polite.

Oh, so you're a doctor where you're from? A witch doctor? Right? [A small pause for Grainne to get the joke.]
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-14 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately, the joke flies right over her head.]

Well, women wise in medicines were often called witches... though I am not sure I would qualify as a doctor.
folkscallmewander: (so anyway)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2015-04-14 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...Witch doctor? 'cause, y'know, you're kinda a witch but also a doctor?

[Grainne's lack of a positive response probably means he's not going to make any progress with explaining the joke.]

But folks back home used your medicines, right?
impossibilities: (Thoughtful/Staring)

[Considering, Grainne folds her arms around her chest. She will have to look up "witch doctor" in the library later...]

They did. Sometimes I was the only one on the homestead who knew how to treat the illnesses the children came down with. Why?
folkscallmewander: (that's not a banjo noise)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2015-04-14 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, jus' wonderin', but you also make 'em here, right? 'cause if you do, I'd like to buy some o' yours in case I ever need 'em some day.

[He's not sick, but as a traveler, he knows that he needs to be prepared for anything that may happen on a journey. Or in this case, a vacation gone wrong.]
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-14 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She breaks into a wide smile.]

Wander, I would make you the potions for free. It would be insulting to my teachers if I were to charge for a necessity like a medicine. If I made any, I would need the ingredients... that is the only difficult part.
folkscallmewander: (curious)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2015-04-15 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
I can help! [Those words come out almost reflexively.]
impossibilities: (Staring off)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-15 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I am not sure they exist anymore. We would have to talk to Jeffers to make a trip home... and I am not sure how the agents feel about time travel. If I had seeds I could grow everything here, though.
folkscallmewander: (so hey)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2015-04-15 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I think they allow us to go home sometimes, so that's that! ...But what do you need time travel for? Don't you travel back to your own time?
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-15 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Some of the plants I used to use are extinct in 1995, so I would have to go back to the time of my childhood. It's a bit complicated...
folkscallmewander: (failure)

[personal profile] folkscallmewander 2015-04-16 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...sorry 'bout that. [Now he feels a bit guilty about his offer.] I've seen some real wonderful things happen in my wanderin', but never time travel.

[Imagine the trips they could take if that was possible.]
impossibilities: (Encouraging)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-16 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, do not worry. Maybe we can ask Jeffers if he will hunt some down. I think it is time I made a trip home anyway. I will bring back what I can.
