Welcome to...

The Night Market

Even as the sky gets dark, there's still a lot of lights and life all over this busy street full of people. Vendors and customers from all over come to share and appreciate their creations, taking in this lively atmosphere. Eat, drink, be merry - but watch out for pickpockets and price gouging.

Rules:

1. Comment with your characters. Feel free to specify if they're a vendor/merchant, performer, or someone just here to enjoy the market.
2. Hang out, meet new people, laugh at the bootleg toys, and stuff your faces with good food and drinks.

[May own a food stall, or she might be interested in walking around the markets, looking for nice deals on cheap stuff.]

Charles - Dead Boy Detectives - OTA

[just_aces]

[He's probably here for a job, though he might just be people-watching. Chances are he's A: in disguise so he can actually interact with people (in which case he looks nothing like himself) or B: can only be seen by folks who have had a near-death experience or are otherwise sensitive to The Unknown (psychics and very young kids and the like)]

Alanna Calrissian | Star Wars OC | OTA

[lady_calrissian]

[If this is Cloud City's market district, she's probably wandering around in a business cape, schmoozing, kissing babies and the like, but if it's somewhere else she's either got her cargo ship set up as a casino or a non-denominational temple, depending on the location.]

Buggy the Clown (OPLA) 🤡

[youshidiots]

[catch him:
1. eating and drinking in purely hedonistic fashion
2. performing some kind of juggling/acrobatic routine
3. doing slight-of-hand tricks or shell games for money (while pickpocketing every single person watching with his conveniently detachable hands)
4. recruiting talented* individuals to his pirate crew

*talent negotiable as long as you're willing to call him Captain]

2 whatamievendoing

[octogenesis]

[ Welp he has a captive --er, not literally -- audience around him tonight. She's never been to a night market, and she's never seen an honest to goodness clown...quite like him.. so while she would have wished she were attending with her friends - alas, they were busy. If nothing else, she'd be able to see if the performance and attractions are worth it, right?

Agnes was sitting front and center, lucky lucky her, and has been an enthusiastic watcher the whole time. Plenty of clapclapclaps for Buggy, because it takes a lot of talent to juggle that many things at the same time! ]

Tamaki Amajiki | My Hero Academia | OTA

[clammyhands]

Viveca - OC - OTA

[letsthemeat]

[She's either got a stall set up outside her cafe to sell cookies, cupcakes and other small pastries, or if it's a boardwalk type night market, she's got a whole small cafe open for business.
Just be careful with those pastries, they aren't always what they seem.]

Qiao Ling ( Link Click )

[baozhoupo]

Akimichi Chouji | Naruto Shippuden

[kindandstrong]

Henry Stillman | X-Verse OC | OTA

[malesiren]

[Depending on the size of the market, he might be busking on his own, or if they're big enough for real live music, he's got his whole band -Manifest Destiny- playing a set. Either way he's got merch!]

Nile + The Old Guard + OTA

[notariver]

[This is absolutely practice at blending in and not making a lasting impression on anyone.]

Klaus + Umbrella Academy + OTA

[ouiking_ouija]

[If he's not shopping, he's definitely got a card table set up where he purportedly talks to the dead.
Veracity of these statements has yet to be verified.
(He definitely does, though)]

liam trevelyan | dragon age

[riftmanship]

[ probably orlais or antiva; anyone's guess why the inquisitor is trolling the bazaar. (voicetesting dusty muse; pls be gentle c:) ]

Petit | X-verse OC | OTA

[prettylittlebunny]

[She's probably out there pickpocketing like it's her job (it kind of is) or reverse-pickpocketing, which is to say leaving her calling card (Antiques & Antiquities Relocated For Reasonable Fees!) in people's pockets or bags.
She might also be running a 3 Card Monte table, and she's relatively good at that as well.]

Rogue + Doctor Who + OTA

[roll_for]

[He's probably here for a job, but maybe he's just taking an evening to himself for once, might be nice not to have a bunch of paperwork to deal with once in a while.]

rain / amdusias | ghost

[basscloven]

[ He's trailing along the market, possibly while the other Ghouls are off being menaces -- watching the buskers with his head tilted and his hands behind his back, or eyeing some snacks, or otherwise just kind of Lurking. ]

[behemothian]

[ Menaces, yes. Sometimes Sister Imperator don't think it be like it is, allowing the Ghouls to roam free, driven by their own whims, through a Night Market, but before she says she is regretting this action, let us tell you a thing: it do.

Fortunately, there is usually a method to the mild chaos. Or at least ample forms of payment so in case anyone (Beleth or Meatsauce) climbs a stall or makes a mess, vendors will be fairly compensated for their tolerance.

Rain will hear some shuffling from behind, clearly a parting of the human "seas" as Aether makes his excited and hurried way through the crowd to catch up - and show off his absurd armful of treats (for which all vendors were also more than fairly compensated for, perhaps to the detriment of the additional Clergy credit card Swiss swiped on their way out the door to Old Town). ]

H̵̷e̵̷r̵̷e. [ He hoists over a few handfuls of plastic to-go boxes. There should be at least two fried squid eggs in there for Rain. He sets Thai tea down on top of the stack. ...Possibly he accidentally handed over his fried bananoreo ice cream, too, but he's fisting too many Fuck-It Sausages to look for it at the moment. ] W̵̷e̵̷ f̵̷e̵̷a̵̷s̵̷t!

Shiny \ Fabulous Killjoys OC \ OTA

[twice_as_shiny]

[Market night out in the Zones is a whole thing. Has to be after that big ball of radiation we call 'the sun' has gone down just so nobody gets radiation poisoning, and it's way out where they won't get spotted by city drones right away.
It's some combination of swap meet and trunk sale with live music and games of all sorts. People are having a good time, but they're all prepared to scatter or fight at the first sign of an Exterminator or a squad of Dracs.]

Iren Suto | Original | OTA

[ordainedbarkeep]

[Iren is manning one of those shady ass booths that will vanish mysteriously in the morning with no sign it was ever there.

It's just selling drinks, though. Normal drinks. Mead, wine, beer, etc.]

Door + Neverwhere + OTA

[doorofarch]

[Whether it's a regular street market or whether it's this season's Floating Market, she's just there to see and be seen and maybe get some shopping done on the side.]

Torii | OC | OTA

[java_squirrel]

[She's definitely got a booth set up, OOAK fashion pieces (like ponchos that make you look like you're a mushroom, purses that look like a TV dinner and hats made of clear colored vinyl to look like stained glass and the like) and little knickknacks like little hermit crab figurines with human skulls for shells, or snails with all kinds of things for shells, or critters made out of gears and bent utensils and glass beads. She'll also take orders for custom pieces, as well.]
