Night market



Welcome to...

The Night Market

Even as the sky gets dark, there's still a lot of lights and life all over this busy street full of people. Vendors and customers from all over come to share and appreciate their creations, taking in this lively atmosphere. Eat, drink, be merry - but watch out for pickpockets and price gouging.

Rules:

1. Comment with your characters. Feel free to specify if they're a vendor/merchant, performer, or someone just here to enjoy the market.
2. Hang out, meet new people, laugh at the bootleg toys, and stuff your faces with good food and drinks.

Not usually. I don't have much money, but I also don't really need to eat. It's not like I'm going to starve, right?

[It is absolutely humor. A melancholic humor, even, deadpan and quiet. It's sticking its hands in its pockets, hanging its head. Looks like a kicked puppy, really, one out on the street on a rainy night.]

Apparently not! Look at me, learning new things about my new friend.

[ One hand on his hip, he takes a look around at the stalls and the people, takes a deep breath and sighs. Maybe he'll grab a kebab to savour on the way out. ]

You know, I'm not exactly of the fully-alive persuasion myself. So how'd you end up here?

We're friends now?

[Color it confused. But it'll move on without dwelling on that question.]

I took a bus down from Chicago. Unless you mean that question in an existential manner, in which case...I don't fucking know. Crawled my way out of a ditch in the woods last October.

[ His response to that question is just a smile. Maybe, maybe not, but why not look at it optimistically?

As for the rest, the eyebrow raise is implied, hidden as it is behind the mask. ]


A ditch in Chicago. No idea why?

Nope. Nor anyone who ever came looking for me, far as I can tell.

Maybe I was a failure. A disappointment.

Whoa, hey now. What makes you jump on that first?

[It shrugs, sticking its hands in its pockets.]

What's the alternative?

No living family? Friends think you left? Something like that?

[ Hmm. ] Have you looked into finding out who you were? No judgement. That's a big fucking thing.
