[EVENT] Courtyard of Public Opinion, May Forum

Characters: Come one, come all!
Date: The 24th of May
Location: The Courtyard of Public Opinion, in Central Sector
Situation: This is the second public forum to be called since the Foreigners' return. It's led by the three family heads, but specifically designed to allow anyone the chance to speak. This particular one was called because of the Foreigner muggings, the Chihulean threat, and the rumours of remaining cultists; however, a variety of other things might get brought up as well.
Warnings/Rating: Added as they become applicable.

The Courtyard of Public Opinion isn't any bigger than some of the open fountain areas in the Water Sector, and it isn't set up the way some of the Foreigners might imagine a political debate area to be set up. There's no podium, no chairs apart from the stone benches too heavy to be moved, and no grand banners or archways. This is done deliberately; everyone is meant to have an equal voice in the Courtyard, so everyone is on level ground. Apart from the greenery, the stone paths, and the low stone walls surrounding the Courtyard, one could almost imagine it's just another Market Day in an open square.

Since the Foreigners are also residents of Keeliai, the Courtyard Forum will be a public opportunity for Foreigners to ask questions and air concerns of their own. This can range from something specific to individuals or making requests of all the major NPCs.

OOC
There are starters for various parts of the discussion, covering all the major topics regarding the happenings of Keeliai lately. NPCs will be available for all of the conversations below. The first five topics are general city occurrences which everyone in the Courtyard will be able to hear; use these threads as discussion between PCs as well as NPCs. NPCs will contribute to discussions as necessary, but won't be engaging in every line of conversation occurring in the general topic starters.

The NPC comments are for directly speaking with that NPC or those in that group; if your character has a specific issue to bring up with an NPC, this is where it should be done. The rest of the post is for Foreigners talking and organizing amongst themselves.

"Well, I was informed you would be the man to talk to about business. My name is Iroh, and some time ago I ran a tea shop out of the Fire Sector."

"I think I recall that," Aroyan smiled. Foreigner-run businesses tended to stick in one's memory, particularly when they were around for a while. "What happened to it?"

"I left it to an employee when I thought I'd be leaving." Or dying in the final battle, but he wasn't saying that. "It went out of business during the invasion, so the shop front was bought by someone else," Iroh said. He wouldn't have expected it back, but he would have liked to see the shop prosper without him. But the location was helping its new owners, so Iroh wasn't too bothered by this. Still a shame.

Aroyan nods in understanding. "Well, there's certainly property available. Were you looking for solely shop space, or shop and living combined?"

"I'd have to consult with my nephew on that. I know he was looking at our living situation. But he was thinking about somewhere in Sky Sector."

"Certainly," Aroyan nodded. "You can come and see me any time about it, at the Guild."

He pulls a note card from his pocket and writes the address on it, being careful to match it to the street sign labels, so Iroh can use it even if he doesn't read kedanese.

Iroh has gotten good at recognizing the street signs even if he still can't read it. "Thank you. I'll be sure to speak to you again, after I discuss it with my family."

"Until then," Aroyan agreed.
