Aihsohlow | Phorezton | Markutte | Countryside


The commerce town of the tried. Temperatures within the dome are kept at a lofty 18C (62F) year round and the population of Markutte dresses less in furs and more in linens obtained through trade. Their long hair is frequently shorn short in the current fashion and they are, on the whole, less hardy than their kin in Phorezton and Aihsohlow, but even more friendly as they are currently in the throes of the Harvest Haul, a festival that concludes their rare growing seasons and agricultural bounties.

Trade. That's the foundation of Markutte and there are three town squares that are home to transient stalls and merchandise from the country and all surviving areas of Konryu. Many kedan have made their way here and occupy the occasional stall space, selling their wares and exchanging gifts with the citizens as they grasp the nature of the festival underway. Once again, visitors that make the trek here are expected to donate a gift that will be regifted at random, earning access and a stamp of their tin visa that resembles the oblong crystal coin used as currency in this realm.

Police are on the lookout for financial crimes here and will demand visas of any they suspect to be committed fraud, short-selling merchants, or thieving in any way, shape, or form. There are three vistas, one in each market square, upon which heralds stand and announce the crimes and punishments noted of the previous day. Minor theft is common and the punishment is a brand upon the criminal's neck; major theft results in a loss of a finger for each item stolen; fraud here is punishable by death, but only twice will there be an announcement of an execution during the landfall.

The auctions here are quite lively and characters can expect a minor bidding war to obtain their items, but each item is in pristine condition and provided to them wrapped within a thin set of furs as a thanks for their purchase.

I've been trying to think of a present for Dick. First Christmas together, and all that sentimental mush, you know. Lots of pressure.

[Though she doesn't sound too concerned.]

[Wow way to remind him it's his first Christmas with Jim, too. Kyle's brow furrows in thought.]

He likes puzzles, right? I've got some stuff in my ring, we can give him an alien puzzle.

Actually...I sort of had the opposite idea.

He's been missing home. A lot. I was thinking of getting him something a little more...familiar.

[Not surprising. Dick was one of the few from his universe here and theirs... theirs was so much brighter. Easier. Kyle heard all the stories when Dick got off patrol and popped by, sometimes. He rubs his chin.]

You'd know better than me, I'm not really from the same neighbourhood.

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-12-12 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. But remember--I didn't actually get to know Dick Grayson until I was brought here, too.

Besides...they must have had circuses where you're from, right?
imaginate: ([ion] facepalm)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-12-12 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Circuses, yes, going to them. [He makes a face.] I'll try and think of something.
backwordscompatible: (but if you need a few, I'd be happy to make custom new ones upon request) (Is that an order?)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-12-12 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
You just did.

I was going to ask if you could maybe paint a circus scene for him to hang on his wall...but what if we gave it to him as a puzzle? Don't tell him what the picture is, and let it be an extra surprise?

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-12-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I just did, I'm a genius.

[Don't mind him, grinning like a loon.]

That'll be tricky, but I think we can do it.

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-12-12 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I do so love a challenge.

Besides...it'll be worth it.
