Sweet to mouth and low to sigh. Come buy, come buy.

The Goblin Market Meme
Based on the Demon's Lexicon

A haven from magicians, a tourist trap, and most of all – a business; the Goblin Markets of the world are places of wonder and magic. Within these mobile night markets, you can find a collection of potion makers, fortune tellers, goods and true answers traded by money or favours.

Things to do:

JUST VISITING: perhaps it's your first time at the market, found through need or by invitation. Take your time browsing through the shops: enchanted weaponry, protective charms, fine crafts and decor. Go get your fortune told.


STEP IT OUT: as a dancer, you're one of the main reasons people show up. Dancing is not only a performance, but done correctly - it can call up demons who will trade their services for a price. Careful - breaking the circle or a misstep can be disastrous. No one wants to be possessed.


WHAT A LOVELY WAY TO BURN: fever fruit and fever blossom water can be a quick way to lower inhibitions. From a dancer, the fever blossom is a way to show favour. How that turns out depends on what you do after.


BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK: if you need a demon's mark removed, or answers to questions that can be found nowhere else, stop by the dance circles. Demons never lie. And their price is always higher than you think it is.


HOME IS WHERE...: you have our own booth, is the leader of the market or are one of the many persons who make their home at the market. Maybe you've got your own abilities - a Pied Piper perhaps, or a necromancer. Not everyone who has magic goes on to become a magician. There's a life outside the market, yes - but it's not where your heart is set.

Bound together with the red tentacle of fate.

"Thank you! This is so wonderful..." He takes them happily. "I'm sure he'll really like it too... and if he doesn't I'll just sneak it onto him. Safety first, right?" He hesitates as he rises. "What's your name, Oneesan?"

snicker - red tentacle, beautiful

The pendant will go in her pocket because you don't just wear that kind of thing and she'll smile as she stands up too. As visits from ancient dimension hopping beings go, this one was... pleasantly non-existance threatening. Who would even believe her if she told them though?

"Right!" She's not above sneaking protection. She's a firm believer in it. Names are power but - something like what's in front of her doesn't need her name to do terrible things or not to her. "Tifa. You'll remember me?"

Sadly a canon joke

"Of course! I'll never forget a friendly face. If you ever need help, just let me know! It's not a far trip." As ominous as that statement is, surely, at least it's well-intentioned.

He beams, then turns to vanish into the crowd -- waving over his shoulder with a fully extended arm, of course. "Thank you again! Bye-bye!"

((OOC: Thanks for this, btw! It was my first bakerstreet thread and I had a blast.))
