Aihsohlow | Phorezton | Markutte | Countryside

The starting point of landfall and the smallest port of importance in all the republic. All visitors will have a fish mark stamped on their tin visa if they are granted access here. The homes here are sturdy and built to withstand the harsh sea winds, though the dome has rendered their sturdiness largely irrelevant as the years pass. Fish represent the primary theme of food, with preserved and smoked renditions a commodity often sent for trade to others towns. Local authorities will ask for the tin card visa of each visitor upon first sight, verifying the information with some scrutiny before handing it back and allowing them to continue onwards. There are some auctions held here, with the items obtained often showing signs of recovery from the ocean floor by diving parties in search of fish to net.

[unobtainableredemption]

[Never takes his eyes off the bulletin board.] Not leaving, going. To this auction. Right now. [His tone left no room for debate. It was serious, far more serious than he had taken in the past.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[Peter blinked at him in confusion, looking around them to see if he could find whatever it was that was making Kaine act this way. The serious tone in his voice had him somewhat stunned.]

Oooookay? Auction? What auction?

[unobtainableredemption]

[Motions a thumb to the auction house.]

This one.

[And with that he storms into said auction house. He's doing this with or without you.]

[nerdylilspidey]

Wha-

[Well. This just wasn't going to do. Glancing around him first, Peter takes off after Kaine, going into the auction house as well. He jogs up until he's finally able to fall more or less into step beside him.]

Okay, are you going to huff around this place like a mad man, or are you gonna tell me what this is all about?

[unobtainableredemption]

[Kaine doesn't answer, instead looking to see when the costume was scheduled to be put up, then pulled out his coin purse to count his juulan.]

How much money do you have on you?

[nerdylilspidey]

Hey. Whoa. Slow down. [He even runs in front of him to get in Kaine's way, arms up to block him.] I'm not even answering that until you tell me what is going on.

[unobtainableredemption]

[That... wasn't the wisest move. Kaine attempts to swat him out of his way. If you aren't going to help him, he'll do it himself (listening might not have been his greatest skill).

Just to the right of the irrationally angry man is the bulletin board, and one picture near his shoulder is a red costume with a blue hoodie, and said hoodie definitely has a spider logo on it.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[For all that he's smaller than Kaine, Peter's perfectly capable of standing his ground. The swat does get him moved out of Kaine's path, but it also helps set his gaze on exactly what he should be looking at. He's never seen a costume like that before, but the spider logo is clue enough. Something from Kaine's side of the multiverse. Something from his Peter Parker, or maybe one of the other clones, maybe?

That explains Kaine's determination. But not the sudden anger. Peter looks back at him, frowning, but at least now he kind of understands.] ..I don't have much. No income here yet.

[unobtainableredemption]

[Everything makes him angry, Peter. But the thought of these people selling Ben's belongings was too much. It was taking everything he had to not go with his instinct and go in there and take it by force. He was constantly reminding himself that there was no way these people knew, and that the easiest way to get it was to just buy it back.

He also didn't care to find out what kind of prisons they had here. If that turtle left without him, he'd be stuck here, alone, and that just wasn't a life he felt like living.] Then let's hope we have enough.

For their sake. [And with that he went to find a seat.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[He only nods and follows, tailing behind him with his eyes wandering the auction house. It certainly doesn't seem like the place is teeming with shady people looking to get their hands on some superhero-y items. Just a normal auction house. Peter doubts they even had a clue what they were selling out. Still, it's clear by his actions (though his words certainly confirmed it) that Kaine's not about to let anyone else have that suit.]

If we're lucky, no one else will even bid on it.

[unobtainableredemption]

Yeah, but who knows what the reserve is.

[Fights the urge to jump up and grab it off the stage as it's brought on.

The auctioneer describes the "peculiar outfit" they discovered from beneath the surface, as well as all of the various "odd little gadgets" it comes with, ending that it would make a fine present. A mother bids on it for her child.

Kaine bids 25 juulan more.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[Peter mostly just sits and watches the proceedings. The jump in the bid amount between that mother and Kaine's seems a little extreme, though. At least in Peter's opinion.]

Dude, seriously. Be careful. We really don't have a lot between us.

[unobtainableredemption]

[The mother seems surprised by that, but bids 5 more. Kaine bids an additional 10 juulan and gives the woman a glare that could kill.]

You have no idea how much money I have, Parker. [And he planned on keeping that way... mainly because he knows you wouldn't approve of how he's getting it.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[He turns a surprised look on Kaine. What?]

Okaaaaay, so how much money do you have?

[unobtainableredemption]

[The woman goes to bid again, but then Kaine glares again and she doesn't say anything.]

[Snarls.] None of your business.

[nerdylilspidey]

[Peter frowns a little, looking back toward the front of the room.]

So I'm assuming you're gonna explain things a little better here once you've got your hands on that suit, right?

[unobtainableredemption]

Depends on your definition of explanation.

[And as Kaine has successfully scared the woman (and most other people there, he wins the auction.]

[nerdylilspidey]

Something more informative than "How much money do you have on you," or "let's hope we have enough, for their."

[He even tried to an impression of Kaine as he quoted him. By no means is he trying to piss his friend off; he really just wants to know who this suit belongs to.]

[unobtainableredemption]

[Rolls his eyes at Peter's awful impression of him.] I was caught up in the moment, all right?

Let's go get Ben's suit. [And with that he goes to pay for his prize. Was the "slip" intentional? Probably.]

WOW, I LOST A WORD THERE OH WELL :|

[nerdylilspidey]

[He raises an eyebrow slightly, giving Kaine an amused sidelong glance.] Uh-huh. Of course you were.

[Once Kaine's on the move again, Peter follows, rubbing his palms over the front of his jeans. Now that he knows it's Ben's, that helps. He'll ask more questions once they're a little less public and surrounded by people.] Sure.

Its cool I knew what you meant

[unobtainableredemption]

[He's being dead serious.

Pulls out his coin purse and pays for the suit. It's a little waterlogged... but definitely Ben's suit. Once he has it, Kaine just sort of stares at it. He has no idea how he's going to transport this thing.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[Peter stays just out of Kaine's way, hands in his pockets as he watches him. Honestly, he didn't know what to expect in terms of Kaine's reaction once he got the suit in his hands. And, watching him now, he's getting the distinct impression that Kaine didn't know either. He glances around once, clears his throat, and then steps closer.]

Congratulations. I think it's time to leave the auction house?

[unobtainableredemption]

Sure let's walk around here with a bright red spider suit. No problem. [He doesn't care, but he knows you and May do...]

[nerdylilspidey]

At the very least, I think we should stop standing in this one spot.

[Kaine has a point, though. They need a… a bag. A backpack. Hell, a giant sweater to wrap the suit up in.]

Or you can nonchalantly stuff the suit down your shirt, first.

[unobtainableredemption]

Sure, I'll get right on that. [Goes to move, staring at the costume. This really was a stupid costume, made on a shoestring budget, topped with a store-bought hoodie. That stupid light blue...]

I got an idea. [Flips the hoodie inside out, and stuffs everything into it. The red sticks out at parts, but it's harder to tell it's actually a costume.]
