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.

Well, then we could do that instead. [Away from shopping, yes, Korra's behind this plan now. Tying the Emperor's sword at her waist, which feels weeeeird, Korra begins listing off the ingredients on one hand.]

Not that many, and we should be able to find them for sale. Wanna split up and come back here? Then we can go back to Tu Vishan to make the paints.

Yeah, let's do it! [Vanessa: Queen of Getting Distracted. Not that it's getting them away from shopping, technically.]

Okay sure. But maybe I should write down what I'm looking for, in case I forget. [She'll take a pen from a nearby stand and just writes on her arm, w/e.]
alphatar: (Smiley hey happy)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-01-02 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Splitting the ingredients between them is easy and Korra's grinning the whole time Vanessa writes down a mineral for coloring on her arm.]

You just get the colors and I can get the rest. [Making them would be simple, but tedious. But she knows Vanessa’s closest friend deserves a good gift.]
fatedchaos: (☾; this is what I need)

[personal profile] fatedchaos 2014-01-03 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vanessa grins.] You got it, boss. [And with a little salute, she's off to get what she can find. It's not that much later that she's back again with everything on her list.

Expert shopper and all.]
alphatar: (snerky smile)

[After giving a ‘Vanessa, pls.’ look at being called boss, Korra’s manhunt for her ingredients goes by quickly. The sooner she can buy them and get to actually doing something, the better.

When she’s back, Vanessa’s waiting.]


I see you got everything. Glad you could read what you wrote down. [Teasing. Korra can read English easily enough. If it’s in plain print. Handwriting will throw her for a loop.]

I should be able to make it today or tomorrow. Have to wrap these gifts first.
fatedchaos: (☾; no I don't think it matters)

[personal profile] fatedchaos 2014-01-05 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vanessa's nose wrinkles a bit as she looks down at her forearm.] What, is my handwriting messy? [She's spent years trying to make it absolutely perfect, Korra, she might freak out over this.]

Hey, no problem. Take your time on it. Like, seriously. I appreciate it.
alphatar: (Smirk Smile Cocky Challenge Accepted)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-01-06 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, it's the first English handwriting I've seen. Is it messy? [She can’t even tease because it’s the truth.]

Sure. I’ll have them delivered to your suite when I’m done.
fatedchaos: (☾; I'm ready to show you)

[personal profile] fatedchaos 2014-01-11 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it is. [She'll probably have an existential crisis about this later, just wait.]

What do you want in return?
