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.

Much better. [He gives an approving nod.] Your hair flows into it nicely. [Odd Asgardian compliments, they’re a thing.]

And this gift will serve you better in the time before your Christmas as well as after. [It’s a hit to his funds for the landfall trip, but worth it as far as he’s concerned. After paying for it, Thor sets the other back up to hang.]
6collegecredits: (what was that???)

[Darcy gawked just a bit.] A gift? No way, Thor. We both must be poor as dirt right now. I couldn't let you do that.

[Even if she really wants to.]

[That makes him laugh, because the truth can be funny.] I hardly need coin that is put to better use elsewhere.

[Once they’re hanging back up, Thor gives a polite nod to the vendor.] Bear in mind that this is exactly why I am here.

[Grinning, at Darcy, he hold up his sack of Christmas purchases.]

Hm.

[She glances at the bag, and then down at herself in the new coat.]

Well, if you're going to insist... [She hugs the coat closer.] Thanks, Thor. I'll be sure to find you something good in return.

[Seeing her enjoy the warmth, Thor smiles and offers:] If you find any of those pop-tarts, I would be grateful.

[Because they’re tasty and come in those snack sized boxes.]
6collegecredits: (and I approve)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2013-12-23 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if they have pop-tarts around here, but I'm sure I could find you something good to eat.

Now that is something I would like. [He’s used to big feasts in Asgard, so more food couldn’t hurt in the slightest.]

I've only had what is provided in our suites when we arrive.
6collegecredits: (smile along)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2013-12-23 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That's settled then. I'll take you out to dinner as a Christmas gift.
veryveryfrightening: (21)

[personal profile] veryveryfrightening 2013-12-23 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I look forward to it! [No, he really does. It’s why he’s beaming. Good food and friends is his ultimate Christmas wish.]
6collegecredits: (on the phone)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2013-12-24 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought you might. [She smiles, considering where she could take him. She'd spotted plenty of food spots on the turtle, but hadn't had a chance to try many of them yet. Though, she was pretty sure Thor would be happy with almost anything.]

I'll give you a call when I find the place. How does that sound?
veryveryfrightening: (44)

[personal profile] veryveryfrightening 2013-12-25 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I know how to answer the calls on the consoles! [He’s incredibly proud of this feat.] I would be delighted to hear from you. Whatever you find, I’m sure it will have the greatest food I’ve ever tasted.

[Because flavor can only go so far and friends only enhance the experience.]
6collegecredits: (and I approve)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2013-12-26 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Did you figure it out yourself of did you have someone show you?
veryveryfrightening: (56)

[personal profile] veryveryfrightening 2013-12-26 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone did have to guide me. These consoles are very different from what we use in Asgard, but I think I should get used to them soon enough.

[Probably not.]

Well, if you run into anymore trouble, let me know. They're not too different from the stuff I used back home.
