The Market Post

[travelagency]

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.

A. Temporary Forcefield Generator

Can I see it? [She's handed the generator and turns it around in her hands. Good quality metal, probably worth the price. If she ever got into a situation like in the ancient library, this would be incredibly useful.]

B. Documentary

[Jade takes a sip of tea from her mug as she peruses the wall of stills, stopping when she reaches one of herself or the people she teamed up with. Seeing herself in a candid photo for once felt incredibly odd, as if she was caught in the middle of a mission and her actions were made public.

She shakes her head, reminding herself that she was working for the greater good,

Another step, and another frame of her. This time, it's of her and Emilia kneeling over a skeleton outside a hut. They're both curious about the find, but while Jade has her back turned to the camera, those who are skilled at reading body language can tell she's a bit nervous in the image.]

[Like magic, Emilia is summoned to the scene to scowl at the picture of herself and Jade. She has a potion sample, undrunk, in her hand.]

They didn't tell us they'd be surveilling.

[ratkicker]

I remember them saying they'd be keeping watch over us, but I didn't think they'd actually be recording everything.

[She eyes the potion.] What kind is that? [Emilia had quickly gone over some of the stuff they found, but even now, Jade had no clue how to identify potions by sight alone.]

[ewestmarch]

I didn't give them permission for this. I should at least be getting paid if they're going to be making money off of this show.

[She grumbles, then lifts the potion to squint at the label. Her written Standard has gotten better, though not as fast as her spoken.]

Swiftness. I'm saving it to see if I can figure out what's in it.

[ratkicker]

Pretty sure they think fame is good enough payment. [She's probably going to demand some sort of compensation for appearing in film anyway. It's one way to make extra money.]

So, is it like chemistry or something? How do you figure it out?

[ewestmarch]

I think what we call alchemy and you call chemistry are similar. So, yes.

[She holds the potion up to the light, squints at the color it makes.]

I don't want to be famous. In fact, I want to be left alone. But I do want money.

[ratkicker]

[She steps over to get a view of the potion in the light, in case something interesting happens.]

I couldn't agree more with that.

[ewestmarch]

[Emilia, not a fan of people being close to her, puts the potion down.]

What happened to the skeleton?
