RP: old rivals Date: April 20, 2003 Characters: Adrian & Angelina Setting: The Marketplace in Settlement 1 Content: TBD Status: Open : Public
Adrian had decided to pull out his broom, taking a low, looping flight from his home to the Marketplace. He'd hit that part of his potions cycle that meant a couple of days of waiting and so he'd taken to wandering the Settlement, walking a short way into the woods (still within the walls and wards, of course), and taking short, low flights. Today he decided to restock his kitchen, getting his grocery shopping out of the way at the marketplace, and get a flight in while he was at it.
Landing softly a few metres from the marketplace he set his broom down long enough to unshrink the canvas bags he'd brought with him and shrink his broom to fit into one of them (he hated to shrink it to pocket-size, the charms involved with broommaking so intricate and delicate), leaving it about two feet long and sticking out at the top of a shopping bag.
Poking around inside the marketplace he negotiated with with the mead brewer for a good deal on some local honey mead and ale, and then traded a handsome dose of Pepper Up potion for a rather smaller portion of local Elven wine (but if you asked him it was definitely a trade in his favor). From there he shopped the old fashioned way - credits coming and going on his datapad like everyone else - for local cured meats, fresh harvest starches, and the basic ingredients to try his hand at making his own pasta (his mother had told him it was faster to cook than 'bought' pasta, so why not give it a try? Surely if she of the 'least homemaking mother ever' award could do, he could). It was looking over the local stock of fresh eggs that he thought he heard a familiar - though far from the past - voice and looked up with a surprised smile. "Johnson?!" He exclaimed, happy to see his former pitch rival just a stall over.
