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 don't mind. Nearly ten years ago, it's a bit too long to still be touchy about it.

[Clara gently traces one of the button eyes of the stuffed rabbit. The buttons used to make the eyes are mismatched and slightly loose. She's not touchy but there's always a sense of loss. She supposes that will be there forever.]

She was very clever. A teacher. Loved to books and would read to me every night. Loved music too. She was brilliant at the piano. A bit of a dreamer, I suppose. Always wanted to take me traveling once I got a bit older. And kind.

You'd think that, but I've seen people be touchy for longer... [she rubs her nose, but listens to what Clara says about her mother. She couldn't even relate to the memories, but it sounded nice. So, she was really glad that she'd managed to get the rabbit and it didn't go to some random asshole and his kids.

She'd seen too much of that back home, too many people who left impressions of what their lives were like, and she had no clue whatever happened to them.]


I'm glad you got that back then, she sounds like she was pretty fucking awesome, as far as mothers go.

Suppose everyone deals differently.

[She then laughs at Ellie's bluntness and swearing.]

I don't have much comparisons but yeah, she was pretty brilliant.

[she didn't even think about her mouth. Not anymore, and no one had ever called her on it. But she grins, all the same. She's glad that Clara seems happy enough]

Who cares? It doesn't really matter, as long as you think she was. That's what I think, anyway. Comparing people... phhhbt.

[she puts her arms on her hips]

Nobody's got time for that.
