Many beings gather around to look at all the devices on display! Most of which is under glass, a few things however are out in the open! Demonstrations are offered for most everything, for the right price that is. In the center of all of it is a 2 tailed fox waving a cane around, "Welcome, Welcome! This is the expo for the Collective of the Technologists! Here to unveil what the church will never tell you, that there is no magic, no spirit behind these machines, this creator tech, just simple mechanics! Come everyone and see for yourselves!" Here are some devices others may remember! Creator Scourchers, Twirligigs, the Bodyswap, and the Flesh Crafter! Surely this is the most creator tech in one place other then the major churches in the City of Churches!
Sveta arrives at the marketplace, her work clothes still a little dusty and creased from her usual duties. Seems the arrival of these "technologists" was rather unexpected, at least on her part, but at the mere rumor of new devices had to come and take a gander. Still, this can't have been approved by the church, and if they knew, they'd get quite bothered, would they? Best to keep a distance and observe what they're all about, then.
Plenty of beings 'had to come', as it seems, crowds of them filling the square. It's no wonder that even the Solacious vixen known as Mirana absolutely must show up. Right behind her trails a shorter, younger canine, sticking at the vixen's tail wherever she goes. A coyote female, large patches of her fur aroun the neck, chest, and back a much more copper shade than the usual tan. Even her hair is reddish in color. The spectacle of a market sale is one she didn't see often, glancing at everything she has the ability to see.
Angus walks into the marketplace and draws his cloak about him, glancing around at the spectacle before him. This was rather intresting, an actual viewing of creator tech? How could anyone pass this up. Chuckling to himself he looks to Angel beside him, giving her a slight smile as he leads her towards some of the more intresting looking devices. Curious as to what they were actually meant to do.
Hearing about the loads of interesting devices being put on display, a lion makes his way into the marketplace. Even after a few days have passed from the fire, his shirt laying beneath his coat seems quite ripped and torn in various places. What a lazy feline. Dio looks around at the various machines and devices on display, but he didn't have a lot of knowledge on just how they worked or what they did really. However, with such a big display happening in the marketplace, surly there would be plenty of food merchants out and about selling wonderful things at great prices, right? And so he walks about, searching for whoever would sell some food and naturally chatting up a storm about food technology.
Meyna is wandering the marketplace, fiddling with the catch of her pistol, tweaking it back and forth and eventually poking a daggertip into a groove to tweak it. She comes to a stop as she does that since even she's not willing to randomly stick someone. Usually. Looking up, she spots all of the tech and mutters, "Going to get something stupid going this way."
Eriene mewls a bit in frustration, trying to make her way through the crowds, jumping to try and spot her mistress. She does this often, weaving as best as she could between people. She finally spots the vixen, and the young Ruby behind her. She tries to catch their attention crying out and waving her arms to direct them to her. Unsure if she was seen she waits patiently a bit, stifled by the taller attendees, wondering if she should instead go to meet them.
Angel walks along with Angus, "My Lord, what exactly are we here for?" she asks looking around herself, never having much use for the machines. She looks around more at the people, giving Sveta a nod and a smile, as well as one to Mirana, though she is curious a moment about the coyote behind her. A slight frown toward Dio, but she gets a bit closer to Angus.
Mirana frowns deeply, "So much of the sacred machines, not in the hands of the church..." she seems displeased, but keeps most of it to herself. She reaches out to give Ruby a hug, then... notices Angus. She turns her eye away and toward Sveta, "Hello there Sweetie!" She says and smiles, "I hope I'm not putting myself to out there by being here," evidently still not feeling right about the things said to her, "come along Ruby, lets get you introduced to some beings, we need to make sure you have friends to play with and be around besides just me, Eriene and Ictus." she says and speak of the devil!! "Eriene! Come over here, come along!" She says as she walks toward Sveta, looking to Meyna along the way, but there is so much going on...
The two tailed fox waves around to everyone but, notices Ruby the most! "Ahh! Here we have a satisfied customer of ours! Would you care to come tell your story young coyote! And I hope the changes that the Flesh Crafter did for you have been up to your expectations! Yes folks, the Flesh Crafter! Able to change just about everything about your outward self, just about anything for the right price! Come one, come all, and learn the possiblities of creator tech when put in the right hands!" he announces.
Sveta spots a few familiar faces amongst the crowd. If it were just her, perhaps...but no. Duty comes first, then curiosity. Her boots heavy against the cobblestones, she approaches Dio. "Good morning, oh Lion of Scruffy countenance. Strange to meet you here at this sort of event, although..." she frowns at his shirt. "You can't go out looking like this. Find me later at my studio, and I'll mend it for you. Honestly, must I do everything?" With that, she takes the poor lion by the arm, if he will follow, and approaches Mirana. "Good day, Lady Solacious. No, this appears safe, for a value of safe, and I am here. Besides, I presume you have knowledge of these devices on display. But who is this with you?"
Ruby tilts her head a bit upon hearing Mira's muttering, but doesn't inquire. Lightly returning the hug she's given, she continues to stare at everything, and everyone. Every time Mira greets someone else, she looks their way, getting a good look at the people her caretaker knows. The coyote is dressed in a white long-sleeve blouse that can't be buttoned which shows off more cleavage than she'd like, purple tights, a knee-length leather traveling jacket, and hiking boots. "O-oh, who?" she asks, her mind immediately turning to the past, and a frown growing on her muzzle. Seeing Eriene, however, bringing a smile to the coyote's face, and she waves to the feline. As she's pointed out by the man on stage, she shrinks back to try and hide behind Mira, hoping they'd see someone else instead. Shaking her head, she tries to deny her involvement with the flesh crafter. The sight of Sveta coming over distracts her though, compelling her to wave. "M-my name is Ruby..."
Meyna cracks her knuckles and mutters to herself as she steps up to one of the displays, looking over the gear quietly, at least for now. She picks her way through the crowd and instead scans for, well, bounty heads. She doesn't know anyone here and she's largely unnoticed which works in her favor.
Angus turns to study the fox as he announces loudly about the Flesh Crafter....sounded like an intresting device. "We are here because it's fun, and it's a quick break from training and duties." He comments to Angel, noticing Meyna for the first and gives her a nod in greeting. But when he notices Mirana he scowls, and grabs Angels hand. "Come on..." He comments, making his way towards the Fox, and then Fleshcrafter machine.
It didn't take too long to find a merchant eager to sell and take advantage of all the commotion going about the marketplace. A bear it would seem, selling freshly cooked meat in various forms. Oh joyous of days! Dio and the bear begin conversing, seemingly having a good time as he begins reaching into his coat pocket. "Ah, hello there lass," he says as he notices Sveta approach. "No need fer that. Just a few rips 'n' tears never hurt anyone." And now to seal the deal, be blessed with the glory of wonderful meat in his belly. "An' now th- Hey!" Being lead away on the arm, he begins hopping on one foot to keep his balance the entire journey towards the destination, eventually regaining it once they stop. "But... But meat..." The lion frowns and looks towards the ground, kicking a rock in his path in a child-like fashion.
Meyna cracks her knuckles and mutters to herself as she steps up to one of the displays, looking over the gear quietly, at least for now. She picks her way through the crowd and instead scans for, well, bounty heads. She doesn't know anyone here and she's largely unnoticed which works in her favor. She sort of nods towards Angus, only half-remembering him, though that's more than she expected really. Still, she works her way forward, especially towards the device since, well, if you're running from a hunter, what better way to get out of it.
Eriene squeezes between an assortment of beings, finally reaching her mistress and the little 'yote. She blinks as the man on stage somehow recognizes Ruby and glancing over to her realizes this makes you youg girl uncomfortable. The kitten tries as best she could to help provide cover for the shy canine, mrowling in displeasure at the male.
Angel nods to Angus and walks along with him, �Yes My Lord, a break can be good.� she says blushing a bit but simply continuing along. As she passes Sveta, Mira, Ruby, Eriene, and Dio she smiles again to Sveta, �Sveta, when can we get together so I may learn to make music? And talk marketing?� She asks before continuing along. Once at the Flesh Crafter though, she looks to Angus, �My Lord, does this one interest you?� she asks. She looks over to Meyna, �Hello Leopard, how is your day?� she asks, Angle's best attempt at 'nice.'
Mira sighs softly, �Sveta, I do hope one day you can understand, and yes, I have some working knowledge of some of these, but most I have never seen before.� She tries to get the fellow kitsune's attention, �Good Sir! Might I take a look at these things and get a better idea about them?� She asks. Then she looks to Ruby, partly in shock, �So.. this is how you..� she starts but doesn't finish, turning to Sveta and Dio again, �Yes, this is Ruby, and I'm taking care of her, getting her back up on her paw, the poor dear has had a rough time of it since coming to the city.� She explains, shaking her head at Dio's still unmended shirt. Then, she notices Angus walking over to the Flesh Crafter... her eyes narrow as she watches him, muttering softly, unhearable by most unless they are very near her, 'Brother..... what are you thinking... you aren't thinking of still...'
The fox on stange though smiles wide as Angus, Angel and Meyna look over the Flesh Crafter, �Taking an interest in this one then, like our good coyote friend over there?� he says, pointing out Ruby even more! �Yes, for the right price this can change, for just a moment or for a lifetime anything about your form and body, gender, fur color, species, anything you like!� He announces with many gasps from beings around. But to Mira he simply wags a finger, �Now now, The Church is welcome to glance at our wonderful machines, but no touching! Your hands are the wrong ones to help the good beings of Promise with these!�
Mira looks very displeased as she hears that.
Sveta bows slightly, the looks Ruby up and down. "My name is Svetlana Kuznetsova, and this here is Dio...I've never really asked his last name, though." She leans over and whispers at Dio for a moment, then pulls away. "I'm an artisan down at the craft school, although I'm still in training, and on my off days...well, I've recently taken to watching the Lady Solacious. Dio...well, he tells me used to be a mercenary, but ever since I've met him I don't think I've seen him do single lick of work." The goshawk nudges him in the ribs. "But enough about me. Well, Ruby, what's your relationship with Lady Solacious -" she turns at the fox's announcement, then notices Angus and Angel going up front, hears the words, and her face immediately falls. "What is he doing now? Lady Solacious! I - he can't be - he's got it all wrong - never said anything about" she unholsters her shield from her back and begins clearing a swathe through the crowd with it, leaving the way clear for anyone who wishes to follow her to do so.
Ruby hangs her head in shame as Mira figures out that's the method she used, nodding slowly. "Yes..." she replies, nodding along with the rest of what Mira explains to Sveta. Hearing the muttering of her matron, she takes a quick and astonished glance at Angus, seeing the resemblance. If he looks her way, he'd see a scowl before turning her attention to the others. The continued reference to her use of the flesh crafter makes her squirm in her place, frowning at the two-tailed man. She's about to reply to Sveta when she draws her shield and begins clearing a patch through the crowd, gasping and looking confusedly at Mira.
:How much for a permament change?" The Fox said bluntly, Angus turns his gaze to the Fox. His tails twitching as he awaits a response. "And yes, this one does intrest me." He comments back to Angel, and gives a smile to Meyna. He turns when he hears a commotion coming from the crowd, noticing Sveta starting to push her way through but ignoring her when he turns back to the fox.
It would seem that Aunt Sveta wanted the poor lion to socialize. Dio certainly loved to talk to people, but he could eat AND talk at the same time. Once more, the smile upon his big goofy head returns, head held high as he turns around to look at the others. "I don't 'ave a last name, lass! Well I do, but I 'ave no idea what it is. Or maybe I don't?" He begins rubbing at his chin, quite caught up in a storm of thoughts until a whisper catches his attention, causing him to nod and smile. The elbow into his ribs makes him emit a short 'oof', and then a cough. "Indeed! Ex-mercenary at yer service. And I do a lot of work, you just don't see me doin' it." He puts his eyes on the coyote, giving her a friendly smile and a wave. An interesting but shy one. He must break her out of that shell! "Where you goin' lass," he shouts out, soon trailing behind Sveta and her shield, not sure what's going on thanks to his one track mind and not paying attention to anything to what's on stage.
Meyna shakes her head and says, "No no, not interested in the machine, more in the sort that would use it. A bit freaky I figure, nothing I'd get into. I could see it's benefits though and... hopefully you don't have an issue with a look-see for a few?"
Eriene spreads her arms and hisses angrily at the kitsune, glancing back at Ruby, concern over the canine's distress written across her short muzzle. She meeps, half startled by the sudden shifting of the crowd, glimpsing only the metalic flash of a shield. Looking up in wonderment at her Mistress, mewing in confusion at fast the turn of events.
