MARKET POST (Informational)
Hi guys - trying something out.
It is Market week - from the 6th November to the 16th, there are ten days of the Market proper relocating to London, settling in and selling like a fiend. An open thread will go up in the comm proper so either you can tag in with an open log for someone else to stumble across or, if you're already planning a Market-set scene, you can link it in via a tag to the main thread.
What we're also trying is news-blasts from the Market (ty catwo for the inspiration) for Market-based characters to use as background information and so on, to run with.
News from the Market
The Merchants are being shits. This is not news, but the level of shittery has hit surprising new levels. Security round the joint - both the Market site and headquarters - has increased (and there are vague rumours, until the security bod responsible for both rumours and the source in question is killed, that the reason for increased security is one of the Merchants themselves, Arazia Santoro.)
This means stall-owners are getting hassled. A lot. Make free with this. The Market has also shut part of itself off for re-warding (or selling the more insalubrious items, take your pick as to which you believe) and is refusing to open this for Monitoring as they refuse to give up their ~magical secrets on wards and so on.
After the hellhounds-for-sale thing, Vendor wares are being scrutinized. Someone had their entire stock tossed out, and the natives, they are getting restless.
