Shadowfaux discussion

Here you can buy everyday items such as clothes, seeds, small weapons, etc. You can, if you have a minimum of 5 items, rent a stall for 5 silver marks per day to sell your items.

5 stalls available for rent

Marana entered the busy marketplace. She glanced around, readjusting her dark-gray cloak. She went to a nearby clothes stall.

The two siblings came to the Marketplace and headed to the weapons store

(( What exactly are we supposed to do here ? ))

(( You can buy stuff, everyone starts with 100 gold marks... Wait did I mention that earlier??? Oops. ))

Linn watched the siblings walk into the weapons store. She decided to stop following them and explore the Marketplace instead.

Ray found a properly balanced sword and dagger pair. " How much is this ? " She asked. Jacob was looking at other weapons and didn't notice anything.

(( This is not Linnea talking, this is the store keeper ))

"15 gold marks, " the store keeper replied.

She paid for them.

Linn wandered around. There were so. Many. Stores. She was regretting her choice in not following the siblings, she actually needed some weapons. Maybe she should go back to where she last saw them.

Her brother was still looking at a few weapons. She went up to him and looked at a few for him.

Linn made up her mind and ran back to the store. There was a creepy feeling in this Marketplace. She shoved open the door and saw with relief that the siblings were still there.
" Hey guys. I'm Linnea, but call me Linn or else I might kill you, " she said to the siblings cautiously.

Ray looked at the new girl. " I'm Jacob " her brother said " and this is Ray "

Iwan emerges from the shadows of the shop and says. "I'M IWAN!" He holds a pose for the showmanship.

She rolls her eyes. Jacob chuckled.

Linnea silently fumed. This guy was so freaking annoying, he's so loud. Plus, he stole my spotlight... Is it so hard to make a friend these days? "Hey, Iwan. Jacob, Ray. Nice to meet you guys, " she said.

" Same " Ray nodded. Jacob raised an eyebrow " Since when did you get so casual and talkative, sis ? " He joked. She elbowed him in the ribs. " Ouch " he muttered

" Seems like you've already picked out a weapon. Good choice. "

" Yeah, feels kinda comfortable in my hands that's why I got it. This guy here still hasn't picked one out yet " she gestured to her brother.

" Huh. Do you prefer to not use a weapon or are just slow in picking one? " Linn asked Jacob.

He was just about to answer when she leaned forward and whispered, " He is slow in everything "

Linn laughed. She liked this girl. She smirked at Jacob. " Hopefully not everything... "

" Hey ! I'm not slow ! " He argued but Ray just laughed. It had been a long time since she had opened up this much.

Marana skirted around the group quietly, having bought a nice red dress. She needed supplies at the black market too, but the items here were less likely to draw suspicion. Most of them were good quality anyway. She approached the weapons stall, though she already had her twin daggers hanging at her hips and several hidden weapons too.

After being silent for what seemed like days, Iwan reached into his backpack and yanked out his sickle, "I HAVE A WEAPON," he shouts, holding his worn dirt covered tool.

Ray looked unimpressed. Jacob was still looking for a weapon so he ignored him.

Marana glared, annoyed, at the loud guy. Why would you publicly declare that you had a weapon? It only put more attention on you, and attention led to suspicion. She went around the group at the weapons stall and stalked up to a food vendor.

Linn sighed. This guy must have vocal problems or something....
" What type of weapons do you prefer? " She asked Jacob. " Are you good with that? " That was directed at Ray, and Linn pointed at her weapons.

" I need a weapon that could be good with stealth but also if I need it for proper combat. Unlike my sister, I don't want to be carrying two weapons. " He replied

" Yeah, I'm pretty good with these. And they are also well balanced " Ray said

Iwan leans on Linn's shoulder and bodly says, "Well I think the best weapon is song!" He rushes over to the stand across from them and points to a wooden hand carved lyre, "It's beautiful," he says as he stares at it lovingly.

Marana pointed at a fish being cooked on a stick. "How much?" she asked coldly, her voice giving away her meaning: I will bargain down to a lower price.

He sighed, " I guess I will just have to get two weapons. " He got a gun and a dagger.

" You done yet slowpoke ? " Ray called from the street.

" Almost ! " He called back. He then turned to the shopkeeper. " How much for these two ? " He asked

((Shopkeeper))
The shopkeeper grinned flirtily. “What ever you want, cutie.”

((Shopkeeper))
The shopkeeper looked at Marana. “One gold.”

He rolled his eyes. He put 14 gold marks on the counter and walked out to his sister.

She folded her arms, " Took you long enough "

" It was hard to choose ! " He argued.

She laughed

" It has been a long time since you opened up this much. " He smiled

She realised that maybe she was opening up too much and her expression went blank. Nor betraying any emotions. He frowned.

Linn trailed after the siblings. She saw Ray’s face turn blank and wonder what was going on. She walked up to them.

" That's not what I meant sis " he said, still frowning

" But I don't want to make the same mistake again " she replied

Marana's eyes narrowed at the shopkeeper, but she set down the gold in front of him.

Iwan stares at the siblings in confusion, and says, "Well that WAS dramatic," before ushering them across the street, "You know what else is dramatic?" He turns and looks at them with puppy dog eyes and whispers. "Lyres."

She rolled her eyes. " He does something stupid like that ONE more time...... Then I'm punching the lights out of him " she growled but there was a small amount of joking in it. She would punch him but it won't be that bad.

Marana took her food silently and leaned her back against the wall as she ate, watching everything and everyone in the vicinity. She was on full alert in case anyone approached her.

Iwan looks at the two siblings, "Well I can see we have a couple of non-believers," he says as he struts past them. Iwan turns, arms outstretched as he smiles at the pair, "Allow me to demonstrate the power of music," he turns and begins to sing whilst walking towards a girl on the wall...

"Oh come ye traveler, there is food aplenty
for the watcher, the farmer, and the odd mage.
Here in the city of man where we stand, we reap all our wealth from the land--

Oh you who is poor and you who has plenty,
come and join us, be with the many,
of men great and small, in our grand city!
Join our party, and you will have plenty."

(is Marana the girl on the wall?)

Yep

Marana just gave the obnoxious boy a deadly glare and shoved off the wall, stalking past him silently. She made sure to let her cloak flap back slightly, displaying one of her daggers.

(I apologize for my character's rudeness lol)

Ray rolled her eyes at the boy and walked towards other shops, looking at what all things are there. Jacob sighed and went to his sister, " Ray, please. You need to stop doing this. You need to stop pushing other people away "

" Why shouldn't I ? Most people I actually trusted turned out to be using us "

Linn looked around. She already had a weapon, basic necessities, blah, blah, blah. All she needed was some people she could trust, AKA friends. She exited the shop and approached the siblings. “ Hey guys. Mind if I join you? “

" I don't mind. You can join us " Jacob said

Ray gave her a small smile before shutting out all her emotions.

Iwan pulls the three into hug and grins as he states, "I told you music had power!" :D

Ray pushed him away, " Don't touch me " she growled.

Linn pushed the boy away immediately and slapped him. “Who the hell are you? “ she whisper shrieked. Then she motioned for Jacob and Ray to follow her, then hesitated. Would they follow her? She was a stranger, after all...
