When: Sukkardi 12th of Ceidary.

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.

Pepper offers the other woman a little smile, the vague sort of smile that one gives when one is introduced to a new person but kind of distracted by other things.

She's inspecting some soap, but gives the woman another look when she mentions the network. "Ah, yeah. I'm a new arrival. My name is Pepper. Pepper Potts."

"Sally Owens. Sorry about the kidnapping city."

She isn't being flippant; she actually sounds pretty sincere, if a little blunt about it. It wasn't so long ago that she was taken here, after all, and on the shortlist of 'most frazzled about it', if there is one. "Looking for anything in particular?" she asks, in that loose sort of tone that implies she's fine with letting Peppers do what Peppers do and browse, but maybe also she can help!

At that point, Antonia comes back from wherever she'd been exploring, jumping the last foot to stand next to Sally. The little girl makes a mock grab for the money her mom is counting, Sally hiding it behind her back in almost absent-minded play response.

Pepper watches the small child with the bemusement of someone who... really doesn't have much interaction with children.

The last time she really talked to a child, was probably when she still qualified as one, to be perfectly honest.

Still, she gives Sally a faint smile. "Do you have any moisturizers that are particularly good for sensitive skin?" she asks pleasantly. "It's always been kind of tough for me to find products that don't end up with my face covered in a rash."
