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.

Yeah it was pretty rough. [He leans around her and points at a picture of himself, the one with the char marks from the creeper.]

I was wearing the coat that would allow me to slowly heal and fireproof chest armor. So I turned out okay.

Oh god, Niko... [she cringes at that image, turning a worried look on him because that picture definitely looks serious]

[but more than anything, his explanation confuses her. even after all this time on Quadratus, she's still struggling to grasp things that are past a certain threshold of out-of-the-ordinary] Wait, you...really? You have things that can do that?

I paid Emilia for the fireproof armor and I bought the coat of the creepy man with the tentacles coming out of his face. They both work fine.

[He sounds pretty pleased with that.]
domesheriff: (Hopeful)

She mentioned she could do that... [Linda wasn't sure whether to believe her at the time, but now it's clear that it was true] I'm so glad you're okay!

[after a pause, she adds:] Were the others okay, too? [looking at the pictures, though, it seems like Niko was the only one who took a bad hit]

They made it fine. Which means I did my job.

[But he doesn't sound particularly proud of himself- after the going got tough, he hid rather than try to catch up with them. It was too dangerous to go out, he knows. But still.]
domesheriff: (Discussing)

[personal profile] domesheriff 2015-05-02 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[she nods] Good. [she doesn't understand why he doesn't look happier, though. frowning, she adds:] They're lucky you were out there with them.

Yeah, I guess. I can only do so much against these things, though. There was less when I first got here. Just the spiders.
domesheriff: (Confusion)

[personal profile] domesheriff 2015-05-07 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
That's true for all of us, Niko.

[but she frowns at that] Wait. You mean there weren't any skeletons or creepers then? At all?

[personal profile] vengeance_driven 2015-05-07 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
No skeletons. No creepers. The creepers just sort of appeared and the skeletons showed up because someone managed to turn on some ancient spawners. Not like the new ones in the village. The news said they were pretty complicated.
domesheriff: (Nervous)

[personal profile] domesheriff 2015-05-10 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Linda nods] I've heard about the spawners. But...I wonder where the creepers came from. [because she finds the thought of them just..appearing somewhere and starting to invade it pretty chilling]

If you look back through the news reports, there was something on it there. It might be a pretty good read if you are interested in knowing.

There are the first pictures of them in there, too.

[Which makes it especially chilling, because you can barely find it in the photograph.]
domesheriff: (Think)

[personal profile] domesheriff 2015-05-13 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know they kept an archive of that. [she frowns, realizing she should have expected something like that--after all, they have that where she's from, and the technology here is more advanced] I'll definitely check it out. Thanks.
