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.

[Hmm, she wonders if they have any "spare parts"...]

[Totally a dancer, performance to perfection is his business.]

no smut please. Tifa will be a seller of wares. Can be flexible depending on what your character is seeking. If you need a prompt though how about her being a memory collector? Something you want to forget? She'll take it. But it's a two for the price of one deal and the second memory you might not be so willing to part with.

[browsing the booths] Wow! I wonder if they have any his and hers sets? O-or... his and his...

[ Just visiting ]

[ Helios is one of the many wayfare travelers to step into the Goblin market for a look at the unique and exotic wares offered. As a mage himself he knows the dangers and darkness of such places. But what brings him here is of his own business and perhaps, just perhaps, it might be a bit dark in and of itself. Retrieving loved ones long since lost was not a thing that was accomplished with regular magic in his world. But perhaps there would be something here that could help him in his desperation and quest to find some sort of solace. ]

[ Home is where ]

[ As a long time merchant of the goblin market Helios is rather accustomed to what people generally want. He's a man who has lots of wares and diversity for his skills. Mask removals, enchanted items, charms and wards against things that go bump in the night. Or perhaps all you need is a love potion or maybe something more powerful to fight off the nastier things that live in shadows of day to day business. Whether is be business or pleasure Helios will surely have something for you. So take a look inside his shop, you'll surely be impressed if not intrigued. Just don't touch some of the books they tend to be a bit...bitey. ]

((OOC Prefs: OTA for gen, Het for fruit/fever blossom/etc unless you don't mind your guy ultimately being turned down if it goes past some playful/teasing flirting.))

[Just Visiting]

He'll wander the stalls, be respectful of the merchants, ask questions and not touch a thing, but he's obviously looking for something.

[Home is Where]
In these threads, he's actually a bard (see what I did there?)--one that's been bound to someone's stall or wagon by a thin silver chain that keeps him in place. Do you own him? Are you just paying for a performance? Or have you come to try and rescue him?

[Anything goes:]
Yep. Have at.

[One Miss Bastion is one to never miss a true opportunity. Altalita has set herself up a large, all encompassing dark blue tent with the pattern of a passing storm across it (rather than the stars you might expect of a Seer).

In front of the tent is a sign:

ALTALITA BASTION
MISTRESS OF FATE
PASTS UNOCKED, FUTURES FORETOLD, FORTUNES GALORE!

So shall you come to have your fortune told, or perhaps you seek advice? Either way, the ever mysterious Miss Bastion is about.]

((Woo. All welcome, etc. Though we may or may not have to discuss things in OOC for certain types of fortunes you seek. I tend to lean more towards prose, but will use whatever you tag me with, in regards to brackets/actionspam vs prose.))

[Visiting]

[Frankly, Arabelle stands out. For one, she's tall. Another's the wings, and then there's the uniform and somewhat obviously technological earpiece.

This sort of place was more Mystica's bag of tricks than hers, but with the sorceress busy with other things, that was why our dear Goldenwing was here. She was attempting to track someone down--largely for information more than anything else.]
