Everyone's Night Market

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. What kind of market is it? Street food? Cultural bazar? Magical creatures behind an illusion?
3. Hang out, meet new people, laugh at the bootleg toys, and stuff your faces with good food and drinks.

[Where does a Daoine Sidhe go to get a little taste of home without having to go all the way back to Underhill? Why, the Night Market, of course. There are all sorts of things less than (or more than, depending on perspective) human roaming around to bump shoulders with. Perhaps he's glancing at something edible not found in a Starbucks or a supermarket. Or maybe a scent from home he's been craving. Possibly scoping magical medical ingredients. Anything could catch his eye, and he's less likely to wear his glamour when he's among non-humans. His hair and eyes will take on a slightly metallic gleam to them; copper and bronze and gold tones that catch the light and shine. His skin has a golden amber cast to it that glimmers, outright glowing if he's using his powers.

If he's out at a more human market, like a Chinatown bazar, or something for artists and musicians, he'll be wearing his human glamour, likely just got off a shift at the hospital, and might be wearing scrubs still. It's nice to stop by amid the bustle and remind himself that he's still alive and there are still things to enjoy in this world.]

Delia Battista frequenting these sorts of places is nothing new. You'd be amazed what you could find here, after all! Ranging from a little bit of everything from clothes, to food, to some weird bric-a-brac that might be useful to someone later, or something she could trade for something else in her travels.

This was why the Orion woman was taking her time perusing various stalls, chatting with vendors, and all around having a good time of it.

[Would love to do some 1625-1633 grand bazaar in Constantinople! AU is fine if your character isn't from that time period or it could so any sort of modern day night market.

He's likely there looking for magical reagents or ritual objects for himself.]

[ She's definitely not a regular of the night market, wandering amidst packed close stalls and trying not to look as overwhelmed as she feels. Maybe the cloak half hiding her face helps to mask that, or maybe it just makes her look all the more out of place among the milling crowds and casual magic trade.

open to crosscanon/assumed cr (if she's here with a friend, she's sticking close to them) and down for something silly and casual (ended up here by accident, running magic errands, etc) or something more serious (hunting down vague magical macguffin, trying to find someone, trying to avoid being found by someone) or anything in between ]

[Might be here to look for meat that he can't normally find, or to meet with other supernatural types. If the latter, it may be notable that he's a lone wolf, with no pack backing him up.]

[Here to trade some prepared medicines for rare and unusual ingredients (and poisons!) from distant lands.]

[ Either pre-canon from any time period (she's old, okay), or a post-film modern au.

At any rate, while browsing stalls of the old and fae variety, she keeps herself covered from head to toe in a light brown cloak. Close observers might notice extremely pale skin and a flash of golden eyes every so often. Nuala does not often frequent the Market, but there are times she enjoys the company of those who are not Tuatha de Danaan, and it seems tonight is one of them. ]

Excuse me. [ A soft, vaguely British accent might float in a stranger's direction. ] Would you mind handing me that book of Shakespeare's sonnet? The green and gold cover.

He was new to this market and he quickly fell in love with the place. He could be himself, no need to hide his face, no one cared what he looked like. He wasn’t even the tallest. And there was so much to see and try and read! His only regret was not finding this place sooner.

After getting something to eat and drink and taking in the sights and smells of the place, he beelined for the books.

Blackened fingers gently caressed covers of Tolkien and Whitman, of Bronte, and-to his mild amusement-even Shelley. A soft voice spoke to him and he turned to see a cloaked figure.

He then looked back at the array of titles and found the one she was seeking up a little high and so plucked it easily from the shelf and held it out to her. “I enjoy…those a lot myself.” He said, his voice also mildly British, though hard to pin the region down. Each word was enunciated, sometimes with a slight stutter. He cocked his head, “You do not have to hide…here” he said indicating her hood.

[Either a performer (with the rest of HUNTR/X) and/or someone here just to enjoy the market -- especially if it's a food themed thing! OTA gen, anything more serious 20+ OTA. Castmates (especially JINUS and her girls), crosscanon, crossmedium, assumed CR, AUs, OCs etc all always welcome.]

[Wandering the market, happy to not have to hide]
