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.

[No she really really doesn't!

For a second, Grainne looks sad and worried, but tries to chase the emotions that threatened to overwhelm her away.]


Someone that I thought loved me. It was my fault he died.

[Bitterness colors her voice.]

And after all my work it turned out to be pointless, in the end.

You didn't try your spells on him?
impossibilities: (Thoughtful/Staring)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-12 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I did. Not one worked. [She sighs and presses her arms around her waist.] I should have known they would not on him, especially when even a god could not bring him back.

In the end he came back the same way I did and fulfilled his own wishes. He did not need me at all and when we encountered each other, I learned the truth from him.

[From the hitch in her voice and the bitterness, it must have been recently.]

[Is this gonna be a story where a woman does everything and the man walks out anyway?]

Where's he now?
impossibilities: (Staring off)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-13 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Presumably off with his lover and draping himself all over the man and fussing over their adoptive children.

[She sighs.]

I swore I would not cry over him anymore, but I do not care to talk about it further.

No. Fuck him. Svín.

[Emilia starts walking again, and her steps are unmistakeably sharper, like she has a grudge against the pavement.]

Have you had lunch?
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-13 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Svin?

[The word is unfamiliar, and Grainne takes a moment before she realizes she's being left behind. She hurries to catch up and shakes her head.]

I had something in the market, but when I eat food is all turned into prana anyway.
ewestmarch: (hmmm)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-06-06 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Interesting. Your body sustains itself from your pool of magic?

[Emilia doesn't slow down, but she glances sharply to the side when Grainne catches up - good.]
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-06-06 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That is how it works. [It was a soft reply.] When I run out, I die.
ewestmarch: (hmmm)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-06-07 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone dies sometime.

[She weaves her way to a cafe, where mist-creatures sip from tubes built into the wall.]

Does your rate of gain exceed your rate of decay?
impossibilities: (Encouraging)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-06-07 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grainne is distracted briefly by the mist-creatures, staring for a moment before answering the question as she follows Emilia.]

When I have a master, yes. There are other ways to conserve prana or lessen the demands for it.
