The market place is bustling, strange accents are abroad as vendors shout out to grab the attention of passing folks. Candle light and music can be heard as the merchants work their magic, light strings play and the occasional sound of a horn can be heard, and the jingle of crowns everywhere. New smells emerge randomly from prepared products, vibrant colors and odd sights are abound.
Selena makes her way into the bazaar quickly, looking rather surprised by the variety that seems to be on display around her. The wolfess looks around the place, taking in the sights for a moment before taking a more serious look for any stalls housing commodities - particularly imported leathers, jewels and arcane reagents or inks.
David wanders into the market and blinks at all the new stalls, he ponders a bit and wanders over to a food stall curiously. He doesn't really say anything but just looks around in wonder, it may be his first bazaar
Cedric wasn't out shopping for anything in particular, he was there wandering from stall to stall taking in all the wares of the bazaar and making a lot of puzzled faces; either when he couldn't figure out what -exactly- something was, or if he couldn't decide whether or not to buy it. In some cases he just stood there for a while looking vacant before wandering to the next merchant.
Daniel had heard word of the bazaar being in town, and wondering why it had such an odd name, the little mouse had decided to join in on the fun. The stalls dazzled him, so many foreign goods that he'd never seen before. He searched his pockets, retrieving several different bags of crowns. At least he had the money to buy things with, but what?
Selena is barraged with waves and calls, but her serious searching leads her to a very calm gentleman, a rooster, who waves his hands over an assortment of gemstones, some on and some off jewelry. "Young one, I see you've taken an interest in my wares. Do you have something in paticular you wish to find?

"Young one, I see you've taken an interest in my wares. Do you have something in paticular you wish to find?" he says slowly. Meanwhile, David is met with a toxic aroma as he approaches a stall, a barrel of dried food being opened and stuck on a stick, pushed at him. "Try some, you can buy when you see how delightful it is." says a shrimp folk. Daniel and Cedric pass eachother as cedric moves from one stall to the next, his next stall being manned by a tortoise selling strange hammers with grooves cut in them, a musical performer next to him going wild to try and earn some crowns with his soft but fast music. "These are for making your meat tender, you just give them a few wallops and it's ready to go." says the older tortoise. Daniel is approached by a fox, who dances about in place for a while before holding out a little bag. Seems they want some payment.
Selena seems to do a good job of ignoring the louder of the hawkers, taking an interest in the rooster for the more collected approach. The wolfess gives an appreciative nod, "Yes, there is. I've been looking for something specific - If you have any star sapphires? - though I'll take a look at what you have here as well." She replies, offering a hand out as her other produces a jeweler's loupe from her bag. "My name's Selena." With a smile, she gestures to the displayed jewels and opens the small lens's cover preemptively. "May I have a closer look at these?"
David winces at the vile scent and covers his nose, "Uhm, s-sure?" he takes the offered stick and takes a tentitive bite, not wanting to be rude or anything by not trying it... And mmms a bit, "Hey, this stuffs good!" he smiles as he munches on the sample, "What is it anyway?" as he pays for some
Cedric offers a polite nod of his head to the mouse as they pass each other, and he turns to face the stall with the literally groovy hammers. He browses the hammers for a moment, giving an appreciative whistle as he's tempted to buy one of the meat tenderizers. But what use would he have for a meat tenderizer? None right now... he's no chef. But what about the future? What if someday there's a need to tenderize meat, and he's caught without a meat tenderizer! That would be a tragedy. That does it. He absolutely must have one! "Well... I s'pose my meat could stand to be a little more tender." the badger says rather innocently before bringing his palm up to his face in embarassment once he catches it. "Ah... so, yeah... anyhow. What's the going rate on one of these?" he asks, quickly changing the subject.
Daniel returns the badgers wave before returning his eyes to the fox, watching with a smile on his face and clapping a bit before he reaches into one of the bags to drop a handful of crowns into their bag. It's the least he could do, he too was subjugated by the burdons of public performing. Heck, he still was, but he could at leas share his bounty with another who was most likely doing this longer than he was. He spies an odd set of facial wear, meant to rest on his face, with two stick things to go around the ears by the looks of it. Walking over, he tries them on... A perfect fit, and he looks at himself in the mirror. Hm, blurry... and more so than usual! He frowns a bit, he liked these too!
The rooster nods, saying "You can but i'll be watching closely. It's harder to enforce your laws when foreign bodies are involved so I'll be ensuring nothing goes missing, no implication intended. I just cannot take my eyes off them to procure my sapphires until you have finished, I do have a few, most are poor quality I'm afraid." he adds. David gets a swift response, and a sack of the dried stuff. "Criwa! We call them Criwa, I don't know what you call them, they're small, rubbery, and like to eat hard shelled things." The shrimp says as he collects the crowns. The tortoise raises an eyebrow at the comment and hacks a chuckle, before clearing the air with a "For you? Twenty five crowns. Well made, cheap as a good meal, you'll find it perfectly fair." Daniel is given an interesting look by a kangaroo who waves in his face for a few seconds. "I don't think you need these kid, unless o'course you're already near blind, they might help."
Selena gives a nod of understanding to the rooster, carefully examining the wares at hand. "No, that's understandable. There are enough robberies in the marketplace already. Your wariness is appreciated, if anything." She replies, taking particular interest in red beryl, aquamarine and amethyst. "You have a good selection of these..." She replies, allowing her voice to trail off in a prompt.
David hmms? and nods at the shrimp, "Interesting, thanks!" he smiles as he heads off with a small pouch of them, after paying of course and grins to himself while he munches on one as he looks around at the various wares curiously
Cedric's eyes shift between the tortoise and the meat hammers for a few moments, as he considers the purchase for a bit longer. He lets out a quiet "Hmmm...." as he mulls it over. Eventually he manages to come to the decision to buy one, and reaches down for the coin purse secured at his belt. He sticks his tongue out to the side as he fumbles around for the twenty-five crowns. He takes the coins and hands them over to the tortoise. "I'm sold, here you are sir." he says as crowns exchange hands.
Cedric spends 25 Crown to: Meat Tenderizer!
