EVENT LOG: PLEADER
EVENT LOG:
PLEADER
characters: everyone.
location: the floating night market, docked at the harbor.
date/time: december 12-16.
content: the night market arrives.
warnings: n/a.
yo voy a volver tu vas a ver.
In the wee hours of December 12, the lights return, appearing just under the waves in the harbor, approaching the dock, until the lights surface entirely. They're submarines, glowing a dim blue now that they're up out of the water, and the fleet is three vessels strong. They've brought with them a floating bridge system to attach to the harbor's main dock to allow access to all three submarines, and they start to unpack...
By "morning", under the light of the full moon, the Night Market is open for business!
This time, it's three vendors that arrive: Aaravos, an expert in all things magical; Michelle Cheung, master of papercraft; and Pluto, the Night Market's leader, who rolls out of her submarine in a custom-built wheelchair. They've brought a handful of helpers with them to set up the market and run the various booths and games. Though they have no torches among them, the docks are lit with the blue glow of the submarines, their lights rippling slowly in intricate patterns and shapes, reminiscent of carnival lights.•••
Accepted currencies at the Night Market include: Building and scrap materials, old tablets, old lanterns, captured forest spirits, torches, information, and most importantly... Plutonium. Of course, attempting to barter is always an option... but these currencies are your best bet for dealing with the various vendors offered by the Night Market.
Here are the vendors and their inventories for the current Night Market visit:PLUTO
- Special orders - Pluto can procure items just like Rastus, but she can get you specific goods from homeworlds. The more specific the request, the more it will cost. Items ordered through Pluto will arrive on the next ferry.
- Heals - A borrowed gun-looking device allows Pluto to heal even the most grievous of injuries. This item doesn't belong to her, though, so... results may vary. If you want proper healing, you'll have to wait until the Night Market's medical unit shows up in the future.
- GPS coordinates - Looking to discover more locations and resources out in the forest? Pluto can hook you up with hints to do just that.
- Lantern charms - These charms can be attached to your lantern to provide BENEFITS as well as DRAWBACKS. The following charms are currently on display, with these labels attached: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence, Charisma. You'll be given instructions for use at the time of purchase, or you can try asking Pluto for more information.
AARAVOS
- Drugs - You want it? He's probably got it! Cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol, and pretty much whatever else you can dream up is worth inquiring about.
- Magic potions - These potions last for no more than 24 hours unless otherwise noted. The following potions are currently on display, with these labels attached: Hair change, genderswap, body swap, love potion, luck potion, night vision, weather in a bottle, fake an injury, invisibility potion, furry shit, daemon shit. What does all of this crap do, exactly? You'll be given instructions for use at the time of purchase, or you can try asking Aaravos for more information.
- Lantern charms - These charms can be attached to your lantern to provide BENEFITS as well as DRAWBACKS. The following charms are currently on display, with these labels attached: Disguise, Energy Boost, Charmer. You'll be given instructions for use at the time of purchase, or you can try asking Aaravos for more information.
MICHELLE
- Handcrafted paper contraptions - Michelle can craft nearly anything out of paper, and don't let the lightness fool you—she can make her paper sharp and solid as steel. As long as you keep it out of the water (or do something to protect it from water damage yourself), your one-of-a-kind paper contraption is built to last! (She'll accept the typical Night Market currencies, as well as payment in the form of books. Any book will do! She'll even provide something to help you if you chose to go on a mission to steal a book for her from the library. These library stealth missions can be handwaved while making purchases from Michelle; just let us know in the form below if you'd like to pursue this.)
DR. SCHICKSAL'S HINT-O-MATIC
- AMA - Does your character have any burning questions they just need to have answered? Dr. Schicksal's Hint-O-Matic is a phonebooth-looking device with a screen prompting the user to input a question. When a question is asked, Dr. Schicksal's Hint-O-Matic will spout out an answer! Questions can be typed in via keypad or spoken aloud, and answers will be automatically read aloud for characters that can't read the screen. These answers are always true, no matter what the question, but this information comes at a cost—your character will be blessed with a random status effect for the remainder of the month. We will check permissions posts before issuing a status effect, so there's your hint for what to expect. 😃 And, yes, you can literally ask anything.
•••
Other than the vendors, the Night Market has brought with them the following attractions:
- COFFEE CART - The coffee cart offers every variety of hot drink a person could fathom, and it's complimentary! A few small tables have been set up in front of the cart around an outdoor heater, glowing happily as it warms this little section of dock.
- CANDY SHOP - Sweet treats offered at the candy shop are also free for the taking, but be careful—some treats carry with them a random status effect that will last for the next hour. The treats and resulting status effects are left entirely up to you players, so feel free to create your own hijinx! This is us trusting you not to break the game, so don't abuse this privilege, and feel free to ask us if you're unsure about limitations! Not all treats will produce an effect, but those that do will have no tells, meaning characters will not be able to strategize when eating the candy. (In meta terms: if you want your character to engage in wacky bullshit, but they're a party pooper and hate fun and wouldn't willingly indulge, this is your opportunity to trick them into shenanigans.)
- CARNIVAL GAMES - The small section of carnival games includes ring toss, skeeball, balloon darts, a shooting gallery, a fishing game, a plinko game, and an RC racing game with toy vehicles. The rules are all somewhat nebulous, but feel free to play out your characters interacting with these games on your own! They're all free to play, and prizes include knitted forest spirit plushies, wind-up goldfish that float through the air, and buckets of those plastic spider rings and finger topper guys that cost like one ticket apiece at Swings-N-Things.
- WHACKY WAVING INFLATABLE ARM FLAILING TUBE MEN - They are also here, and they have a jukebox with them with an unfathomably large selection of songs. This area of the dock is probably meant for dancing.

Finally, though you can trade with the various NPC vendors in this log, check out the new Night Market Purchases page for fast-tracked transactions.

Well, most of them also serve tea and hot chocolate. But yeah. Coffee's a... really big thing where I'm from. It's got its own culture of drinkers. Coffee versus tea is a popular debate topic. ...it can get excessive. Especially the fancy places.
no subject
[Nowhere in the Outer Rim and the Unknown Territories had that kind of luxury, he couldn't even imagine it. It reminded him of what he disliked about Core planets, places coddled in luxury without understanding the realities of life.]
It must be nice to be able to focus on things like that.
no subject
Ah, well. [ She tilts her head back the other way quickly, an unconscious movement as she gathers those thoughts. ] Parts are. The part I'm from qualifies, but not everyone there is on the same social and economic level. So you get people whining about who makes the best coffee and then people who can't afford to pay their bills. [ Dryly, ] It's great.
[ Ellever's nose wrinkles, the reality of where she is and what probably happened when she'd died rearing its ugly head before her expression smooths out. An apocalypse is surely a way to even out the classes. ]
Do planets where you're from have a lot of cohesion? Like... one government per planet?
no subject
[He felt no regret about what he had done to the New Republic, it was for the best that it was gone for good now. The galaxy was much better off, in his opinion.]
There are many thousands of systems in the known galaxy with planets ranging from desert backwater planets to planets that are entirely one city. It just depends on where they are in the galaxy. The Core worlds are often wealthier while the Outer Rim doesn't have the same things.
no subject
[ Thousands of... systems? Galaxies? With lots of planets. That's a big number of planets with sentient life. Someone back home would be punching the air right about now. Ellever accepts a cup of tea from the cart and sips it, as she listens. ]
That's wild. We've been to our moon, that's it. [ Ellever chuckles dryly. ] People are trying to get to Mars, which is one of our nearest neighbors, but that's going to be a long trip.
no subject
[It was bad enough he was stuck in one place here. He supposed being stuck in one place for what may be eternity was a type of punishment for what he did to five planets. ]
The level of technology in your civilization must be incredibly primitive. I've never encountered a planet whose occupants aren't capable of star travel before.
no subject
It's — getting better? [ She shrugs. ] But yeah, no space travel. Our level of tech's more along the lines of the tablets here. Probably for the best. We'd just litter on other planets.
no subject
[He hadn't lived full-time on solid ground since he was a child and he didn't miss his home. He loved the large ships, being able to instantly go anywhere in the galaxy that his work took him.]
Being confined here will be...different to say the least.
no subject
So you don't find being on a spaceship confining?
[ Ellever likes travel herself, but she hates being on airplanes for a long time. She has to get up and go up and down the aisles quite a bit. Arriving at a new destination all the time is exciting, as is looking out the window at the scenery below, but the metal tube with wings? Not the best. ]
no subject
[He still missed his ship. He didn't know what had happened to the Finalizer but he could only hope that it had been spared.]
I've never lived in such a large quarters before as I have here.
no subject
The view must be nice. Always changing. Or mostly changing? [ That's got to be one plus to being on a spaceship, right? ] I actually haven't had as big a living space before as I do here, in one of the houses. Back home it's just a bedroom. Having a living room is weird.
