The Market
Who: Merchants, Reporters, and You
What: Open Market
When: M9 D13
Where: The center of town, near the resort
Notes & Warnings: Here is how the market works...
The marketplace is a large open air affair in the middle of town, with a couple of dozen vendors out supplying wares. For the most part they're local crafstmen and farmers; it is post harvest time now, and the last of the fresh vegetables are being sold off before it gets really cold (various tubers, fruits, roots, wheat, etc). There are also cooks with a variety of foods, so everything smells pretty good. There are even pierogi and sausages along side more unusual fusion foods like deep fried gagh on a stick.
Unfortunately, it's raining and while it's not a drenching rain, if you're not used to the rain an umbrella probably wouldn't go amiss.
There are a few odd stands, though. External stands, brought in by merchants that don't want to permanently reside here but are happy to do some sales for the resort. Sure they have to earn in the planetary currency, but they can buy a few unique items from here to take back with them before they go. That makes the trade worth it for them, and Blackstaff needs all the external trade it can get (even if the outside vendors doing the trading are a little dubious and are probably breaking the law just by being here during the quarantine).
In the meantime, with Blackstaff's cooperation Upsher and Doff have set up a booth in the middle of the market. Imports receive additional pay for going inside and answering their questions, and Jeffers is very adamant that imports should participate. It may help out their current situation by showing the universe what widely varying worlds are represented by the resort and attaching real faces and voices to the people of Quadratus.

It depends about the environment where. The environment of the Drone's Club is a jolly and welcoming one, and it is an environment of which I am most fond. Whereas the environment in Aunt Agatha's flat, or really in Aunt Agatha's presence wherever it may be, is one of impending doom and bleak despair.

Oh, the great outdoors? Well, why didn't to say that in the first place.
The great outdoors... It's good for golf, I suppose. Although that's more just "outdoors" minus the "great."
America has a lot of it.
...
[Yup, that's all he's got.]

Animals are treated quite nicely. The horses get to do a lot of nice running around the track and receive much cheering and applause. Like actors. Only actors don't usually run around a race course. We provide foxes with the entertainment of the hunt. And the dogs have many policemen to bite.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Network memes?
[Murmured explanation off camera.]
Oh, I see. In that case, yes, I think that it is very irresponsible to commit a misspelling in public. Because, you see, what if that misspelling were to catch on and then everyone were to spell in that manner? If that should happen, then those people in the future would look upon the right-spelling people of the past and think them wrong-spelling people. And thus lose their sense of proper history.
