A day at the market! :: OPEN

[synergismus]

Who: OPEN, NPCs if needed.
What: A guided trip to the Aspic Bazaar
Where: Aspic
When: Coardi Wednesday Morning
Notes: OOC post here.

It's spring in Baedal and the Bazaar in Aspic is full of life. The sun shines on colourful buildings, bleaching tentweaves draped over market stalls. The air is full of shouts and animal noises, customers haggling with merchants and tradesmen striking deals. Children of different species rush back and forth, unattended in the crowd.

There are a lot of things on display in the market. Local produce and wares sit next to strange and exotic bleed-through goods, all of which the sellers are quick to guarantee the genuineness and legality of. Less honest characters also visit the market, it is generally known as an official stomping ground for one of the city's more notorious criminal enterprises. The city is aware of this, of course, and while Militia presence here is not as keenly felt in other place, it may be noticeable in the cares some people take.

It's still considered a safe place, or as a safe a place full of haves and havenots in a strange city can be. It's certainly considered a safe enough place to send newcomers for quick introduction to local sights and economics.

The (more recent) residents of the Valhalla Inn and anyone on the CeidaryBlue523 Node have been encouraged to visit the place. They have also been encouraged to not go alone.

Ianto is generally a thrifty shopper. When needs must, Ianto is a very thrifty shopper, and at the moment, needs must. The currency had been easy enough to comprehend, and he knew well that 20 marks would only last him a week if he wasn't careful. And so, on the hunt for groceries for an empty kitchen, Ianto had set himself to bargaining fiercely with every stall proprietor he'd encountered.

Not a half hour on, he's already loaded with two bags of groceries and haggling enthusiastically with a man over a block of cheese. He still has more than 17 marks left.
