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.

[ Yeah, well. At least the Nova Corps doesn't use magic jewelry...???!? ]

Must be nice having a whole corps around, though. A friend of mine, ah- actually, Nova Supreme, head of the whole corps. [ Pete smiled a little more fondly as he thought on Richie, though there was still a strain to his face; he wasn't sure if the guy was still alive or not. ]

He's been pretty much running the show all on his lonesome for a while.
imaginate: ([kyle] something on my face?)

[Dorky helmets don't count okay even Kyle thinks his tacky jewellery is better.]

[Kyle, however, is now giving him a blank look, something clicks in his mind.]

This guy wouldn't happen to be called Richard Rider, would he?

[Going to shout for Nita in 3, 2, 1...]

[personal profile] explosivepenetrators 2013-12-17 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
... [ Talk about throwing him for a small loop. ]

Yeah, and please tell me you didn't see him here. [ Pete's eyes were slightly wide as he thought on the possibility. Richie here? That would be intense- and it'd give him hope, but at the same time...

They were stuck her after all.
]
imaginate: ([kyle] what even)

[Right. Kyle rubs the back of his neck with a hand, sheepishly.]

Nita told me. ['Apparently we have similarities.' but that wasn't really relevant here.] Anyway. Sounds like the rest of this should be done over a drink, huh?

Oh. [ That immediately garnered a sense of relief from Peter. The tension dropped from his body, but it was also replaced with a slight sadness. No word on Richie, then, for real. As far as anyone knew, the two of them really were dead back home. ]

I- that'd be good, probably. [ Peter looked about at the paintings, though. ]

Later... or need help closing up shop?
imaginate: ([lantern] what's going on)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-12-22 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whatever Pete's been worried about, Kyle hopes it's easily resolved, or somebody here can figure something out for him. Space crap, man.]

[He looks at where Peter's gesturing, and waves over a local helper.]

I can close up now, if you don't mind lending a hand. Business has been slow today anyway.
