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.

[Mildly:] They're just pants.

[He's not seeing what the whole fuss is about here. But fine, Arthur, have it your way. Barry won't say anything about this to anyone—at least not in the immediate future.]

But if you're worried about people seeing, you could try and negotiate with the auctioneer for them back. Or go the traditional route and big.

[A flat look. Even though he really has no room to talk, considering they're the pants he stole right off Rodunn's body. Well, borrowed.] And what will Hal say if he hears my pants were on the auction block? And then what will I have to do to Hal in retaliation? [Punch him. The answer is punch him.]

It seems ridiculous to have to bid on what is already mine. [He's grumbling but yes, he's placing a bid.]
bolthead: (wtf)

He'd probably say you enjoyed stripper night too much.

[It's said with a small wince though. Most of the embarrassment from strip club evening has passed with several weeks' worth of time but there is still a corner of his being that remembers the whole thing with horror.]

And you could walk up to the stage and just grab them, but I don't think they'd like that.
relentlesstide: (let's get down to business)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-12-07 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not embarrassed to say it was an interesting experience. [Atlanteans scoff at your surface prudishness over nudity and the sex industry.]

No, they probably wouldn't. [A pause.] How well armed do you think they are?
bolthead: (wtf)

[personal profile] bolthead 2013-12-07 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that last sentence? Is kind of alarming. Barry's been surveying the various other objects being set aside for auction - none of which are quite as shiny as Arthur's pants - but his head jerks back to stare at Arthur at that.]

Are you actually going to do it? [He is slghtly scandalized here.] I'd imagine must of the local law enforcement is busy at customs.

[WHICH IS NOT A CUE TO GO FORTH AND DO THIS THING, OKAY.]

[Sometimes Arthur is plenty sensible. And sometimes... Sometimes he has a bout of "surface rules do not apply to me because I rule like three quarters of a planet".] I'm thinking about it. This is technically petty theft and auctioning of stolen goods.

[A pause. He kind of likes this town, though, he doesn't really want to get kicked out...] Or I'll just win the auction.

[personal profile] bolthead 2013-12-09 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they didn't know these belonged to someone, [he protests, trying to defuse any potential squabble before it even starts. Barry does not want his first real task in this town to be breaking up a fight with the locals.

He does one foot forward though, in case he has to put himself between Arthur and the pair of pants currently on auction.]


I have plenty of money, if you need to borrow any.

[Heck, he'll even give it to Arthur if the man wants.]
relentlesstide: (weeeeeell...)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-12-10 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He at least doesn't seem to be trying to go any closer to the stage, he's just standing there and watching the auctioneer with a slight scowl, raising his hand when necessary to put in another bid.]

Money isn't an obstacle. [He glances over at Barry, raising an eyebrow at him.] I've been here longer than you, I've had plenty of time to acquire a comfortable savings.

You shouldn't have to spend it all on something that's rightfully yours.

[Said practically, because Barry is nothing if not practical. He watches another hand go up - those pants are awfully popular with the locals, it seems - before lifting his own hand to call out a bid.

Smiling, he turns back to Arthur.]


Call it an early Christmas gift.
relentlesstide: (yyyeah no)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-12-11 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Arthur just rolls his eyes at that. Barry, he likes you, you're his friend, but come on.] I doubt the bidding will go that high.

[He watches Barry raise a hand to place a bid and his eyebrow goes up right along with that hand.] I can afford my own pants, Allen. Save your money in case something of yours shows up. [And now he's outbidding him, huff huff.]
bolthead: (pic#6744368)

[personal profile] bolthead 2013-12-11 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, Arthur, he tries to do one nice thing for you and you throw it in his face. What kind of friend are you? BUT FINE, Barry will stop raising his hand to make bids and instead just stand around like a useless coat stand.]

I have enough. [Technically true even if Hal keeps pilfering it away for silly reasons.] I already bought the one thing of mine that I saw, in any case.
relentlesstide: (welp)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-12-12 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He's an ungrateful shit, sorry Barry. But then another hand goes up in the crowd and Arthur scowls a little, quiet for a moment as he places a counter-bid.] ...I suppose you could assist me in bidding to discourage competition, and should you win, I will pay for it. [WHY DOES ANYBODY ELSE EVEN WANT HIS USED PANTS. HE GOES COMMANDO IN THEM SOMETIMES.]

Oh? What did they have of yours?

[That's gross and don't ever tell Barry that, please and thank you. If only because he might try and gift a package of boxers in an attempt to stop that from happening again. (Even if he's done it once or twice himself because damn, spandex is really form-fitting sometimes.)

But the concession pleases him, enough that the bright smile is back on his face as he raises his hand again so he can step back onto the bidding war battleground.]


Done. [Even without the offer of payment, he would've done it anyway.] And I found a token from home.

[Fishing the thing out of his pocket, he shows it to Arthur: a bowtie, the faded red color still managing to stand out as a bright pop of color in the crowds.

Don't laugh. :(]
relentlesstide: (huh)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-12-12 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
[You don't get to dictate what goes on in his pants, Barry Allen. Only his wife can do that. Also sometimes it's necessary, no one wants to be like Supes and wear their underwear on the outside.

He's mildly relieved that the concession seems to have dissipated any offense, because while he usually doesn't care what people think, Barry is closer to a friend than a lot of other surfacers. So with that decided, he places the occasional bid, though Barry is obviously faster, and tries to intimidate the other buyers with his stare. If there's one thing Arthur Curry is good at, it's looking menacing, though-]
It's times like these I miss the harpoon hand.

[And then Barry is showing him his item, and Arthur's not sure what he expects, but he does manage not to laugh. After all, he's the one trying to buy back his pants.] I see. I've always wondered how our things can turn up in these places.
bolthead: (wtf)

[personal profile] bolthead 2013-12-15 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering this thing has been gathering dust in the back of my closet for only god how many years? I'm not sure.

[He's not even sure he'll have opportunity to wear the thing on Tu Vishan. There hasn't exactly been a large number of fancy dress balls since he's arrived, and even if there had been he's never been one for elaborate parties. That's the one good thing about being gone for so long - he hasn't been forced to attend formal parties in years.

The not good thing about being gone for so long is that it's left him clueless on a whole number of happenings, such as the:]


Harpoon hand? [That earns Arthur a frown.] I missed that one.
relentlesstide: (weeeeeell...)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-12-16 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
I know the feeling. In Sinbrilee, I found the Atlantis Chronicles - the book is kept in the palace under lock and key. I'm assuming magic is involved. [Congratulations Barry, you have a magic bow tie. Or something. Either way it's pretty strange.

The frown he gets makes Arthur frown slightly too. Right, Barry wasn't... around, those years.]
Ah, right. Long story short, my hand was eaten by piranhas a while back. The harpoon was not a terrible substitute.
bolthead: (pic#7069463)

[personal profile] bolthead 2013-12-17 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[But he doesn't want a magic bowtie!! He doesn't want a magic anything. Except for maybe a way off this place, even if he doesn't mind it nearly as much now.]

You walked around with a harpoon for a hand. [That is not a question, that is a statement of utter disbelief, coupled with a blatant look at Arthur's appendages now.] And how long did that last for?
relentlesstide: (l'oreal commercial)

[personal profile] relentlesstide 2013-12-17 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You walked around wearing that. [He motions to the bow tie pointedly in response.] It lasted a while. ...I died and returned.
