Welcome to The Market (Open)

Ok <3

<3

Ah yes, I was about to find this.
How many people have put up their forms vs who hasn't?

I have~

Josh hasn’t. That’s all I know. He’s been busy and hasn’t been on Notebook the past few days…

But my form is up.

Mm, thank you my friends

This is a check in :)

Yessssss, I'm going to start soon becuase I'm tired

Arion, you've been walking for days now. You managed to tear away some of the fabric of your clothes to stop the bleeding of your wounds, but you know that if you don't get medical attention soon, they'll become more infected then they probably already are. You stumble into the market, trying to find some sort of healer before exhustation takes over your body, and you pass out.

Firenze, you're looking through the market trying to find a baker or gardener or someone who'll apprentice you for at least a bit. You're starting to run low on money and supplies, so you decided to get a job.

You currently see a small building, half of which is overtaken by vines of some sort. Above the door, the sign says 'Elmen-Rasta's Bakery and Garden'.
~
Esmeralda, you're sitting at an old table and chairs you found in an alley, shuffling your tarot deck. You aren't entirely sure if you're allowed to be here without a permit, but you figure you could make at least some money before you get kicked out.
~
Tiegi, you're looking for someplace selling paper and maybe some notebooks. You just used up the last of yours and need to find some more. Right now, the only thing you've found is a stall manned by a elf-like creature in a very bright outfit. There are some unmarked books sitting on the table.

(Anyone can still put in their forms btw)

Arion kept coming to and fro between consciousness and unconsciousness. He felt his head getting heavier and heavier, and it was harder by the second to stay awake.
He knew that his situation was dire, and he knew that if he didn't get help soon, he was probably going to die.

Not the best way to go out, lying on the filthy ground.

He looked up at the sky in one of his short conscious moments, and he heard a man's voice, a familiar voice, that told him that he would be okay. He wasn't entirely sure if it was in his head, or actually happening, because shortly thereafter, he fell unconscious.

Firenze looked up curiously at the sign, shaking his brown and green hair out of his eyes as he stepped into the doorway and peered in curiously. Both a garden and a bakery….? Maybe they would be looking for hired hand, since he probably wouldn’t be lucky enough to get a position as an apprentice since he had little to no verification that he was even a citizen or anything… He sighed as he gazed around.

You wake up, not able to tell how long you were asleep, to someone with blue markings around their eyes and shoulder length dark blue hair leaning over you and saying something. "-Re you awake yet? Good, your eyes are open." The person leaned back and stood up, giving you a better view of everything in the area. You're laying on a small platform made of crates with a blanket over it. It looked like it was still outside, but under a shaded area, probably a tent.

As soon as you step into the building, you're hit with the smell of fresh mint and warm air. You hear some noise from a large kitchen and if you look to your side, you'd see a glass wall with a greenery behind it.

Firenze walked into the bakery fully, sniffing at the air, his stomach growling. It had been cloudy the past few days and he was reluctant to tap into his sunlight energy reserves. He still had a couple coins, maybe he could buy some bread…. He spotted the glass wall and went over curiously to see what plants they had growing.

(Hey Ash, is that the stall I was hinting at? With the modgepodge of things? Becuase that's the only one with books that you can see)

There was quite the variety, some basic herbs as well as some exotic looking plants. There was a strong looking woman going through them and watering the plants with a tiny watering can. It almost looked commercial. Your examination was cut short by a hand on your shoulder and a chipper voice. "Hello there kiddo! How can I help you?"

Teigi wandered the markets, glancing at each colorful stall he passed. The young man finally came to a stop in front of a stall full of books. The place wasn't attracting many customers, so Teigi stepped over, greeting the seller with a grin. He only hoped that he wouldn't be recognized, at least, not until he found a new notebook, and perhaps some more ink. The man glanced down at his feet as he heard a familiar jingle. His cat, Ren, had caught up to him, and was sitting at his feet. Teigi scanned the products, still not touching any of the books. He looked back up at the shopkeeper, one eyebrow raised.
"Are these books empty?"

Your question was first met by a sharp toothed smile and a clap of hands. "Why yes! Some of them happen to be empty. Are you looking for cursed books, empty grimoires, charmed paper? I've got a few of those in stock!"

Firenze jumped at the hand and voice, scaring badly. They shook a little as they turned to the owner of the voice and stammered, “J-just l-looking for some f-food and a j-job perhaps…?” They cowered a bit, looking ready to flee at any sign of hostility. They hadn’t been treated kindly on the road, and now theqirninnate sense of trust was broken.

"Oh, nothing that fancy! I'm only looking for an empty notebook!" Teigi smiled back, still examining the books. Ren hopped up onto the man's shoulder, and Teigi pat his head. "Ren, what do you think?" The cat mewed in response, and the pirate chuckled. "Although, charmed paper could be nice. What sort of charms?"

The smile on the vendor's face never vanished as they splayed their hands, showing off multiple paper charms. "Oh we've got all kinds. Luck charms, privacy charms, blood charms, excetra charms!" They're eyes, and I mean all of them, were wide with excitement.

He hadn’t been treated kindly on the road, and now his innate sense of trust was broken.

The owner of the voice happened to be a very short fairy who was hovering in the air. No wonder you didn't hear them come up. "Well, me and my wife have been looking for an extra hand… And you do seem like you need some food. How about you stay for lunch and we can talk about setting you up with a job! What's your name kiddo?"

(Me, realizing I’ve been using male pronouns for my non-binary character…. sighs deeply)

(lol I do that too)

“I-I’m Firenze. Firenze Godfrey. I can just buy some bread though, it’s fine… I have a few coins left….” He fidgeted nervously, even more worried because the owner was a fairy and it uncomfortably reminded him of why he was even here in the first place…
