Warnings: None yet.

Baedal is a city that never sleeps, but everyone likes a long-lie in on a Sukkardi morning. At eleven o’clock, the Howl Barrow is climbing to a weekend buzz but it’s not quite there yet. But right off Carnelian Street, Cockatrice Markets is already has its doors open –and bubbles are floating down the street in welcome!

The Market is housed in what once would have been a small, high ceilinged factory building, but the inside and outside has now been painted all manner of colours and murals by local artistic residents. There are tables inside the airy structure, as well as in the outside alleyway, and a large mosaic chandelier dangles outside the entranceway.

It’s free entrance, fun, and like most places in Howl Barrow, friendly and inviting.

Luckily the blonde is a bottle shade, but the attitude is 100% real.

"I say hey, I'm Philomena, and what sort of pieces are you thinking of?" She's not about to turn down free promotion any time soon, although there's always the initial investigation of names, reputations, and scoping out if the person is serious or not. At least for people who weren't born yesterday, anyway.

"I like your darker stuff. It's sharp and morbid but it has a sense of humor. Totally unsurprisingly, that's exactly the kind of person I'm designing for."

Penelope does something here she never does. She shrugs her purse to the side and offers Philomena a handshake.

"Hi, I'm Penelope Lane." You may have heard of her.

She has indeed, and Philomena's eyebrows shoot up momentarily. "Good to put a face to a name." And she will take that hand to shake, please and thank you.

"What are you doing for your print campaign?" She's genuinely interested, but it's also to get ideas: statement pieces or function, chunk or sleek, etc.

"It's kind of about branding. Setting a visual to the weird, floaty concept of a label with my name on it. Kind of a big deal for me. Mostly black & white, simple, industrial background, I want a statement, like, 'these are some fierce, fashionable people, they're young and so fucking cool, and they could probably fuck you up, and they wear Penelope Lane'."

Penelope leans over and examines that pointy black ring a little closer. Yeah. That's hot.

"Maybe a big chunky piece or two, but mostly things that can add to the completeness of the look I want without distracting overmuch, you know what I mean. For close-ups, and I'm doing at least a couple of those, probably more stuff like this." She points at the black spiral-wing-pointy drop earrings. "Actually I am seriously considering buying these right now."
