It seems like a typical Tuesday in Shady Hollow the market being the main attraction, although it is really the only attraction this town has besides the herds of Thistle rams that graze the open field lands surrounding this tiny town. The market however its the largest in the Empire and brings folks from all over once every 100 years for a rare two day event . The Pixie Dragons great Migration. Today is day one of that event, many either setting up lanterns or tending stalls. Children run about as great caravans from the large citys appear on the horizon.
Things of notice in town
At the market fountain there seems to be a small stage of sorts being set up. The market is lively and the smell of food is everywhere. There seems to be a slight commotion at the tavern stables. A slightly intoxicated individual is east of the gate with a litter of blink puppies. The inn keeper is hysterically yelling about something thats gotten in the inns kitchen cupboard.
Things of notice 500 yards outside of town
Lots of thistle rams. A loud caravan playing musical instruments and it seems everyone is making merry
The gate guard is having a argument with another caravan who seems to be importing some sort of valuable goods
(You are free to interact as you would wish the start here will be pretty free form being everyone has such unique characters. The setting is simple out side of town is dense woods and lush meadows with flocks. Town is small mostly stone walled homes with clay tiled roofs and small narrow streets. The market however is a large circle though its so packed right now that the venders are set up in a thin spiral lanes with the towns fountain at the center each lane leading to a different side street. I figured the fountain is a good spot to join players together after a warm up of your entry into town and interactions with a few key NPCs so just start with your entry I now town and the market and feel free to Interact with Venders you think would be selling wears I do t have your inventories up yet but we each start with 500 gold as far as currency goes. After your introduction post the fun begins ^.^)

Wisteria's ears angled to the sound of the inn keeper's scream. She was curious as to what had spooked them, but then thought better of it. If it's some big, disgusting bug, she'd probably scream too anyway.
So many things happening all at once and more things to come soon... She was quite pleased with all this bustle. At the very least she wouldn't be bored during her stay here. Thinking about how she was able to be here to witness this rare event made her feel a little lucky. Not to mention there would probably be plenty of interesting people to meet from all over the empire who came to visit too. So exciting! She wondered if... No, she shouldn't sully her good mood. Focus on the present.
The smell of food pulled her from her thoughts. She should get something to eat. Her ballet shoes seemed to glide over the street as she checked the stalls and hummed the tune the loud caravan was making. She wondered if they were selling any fish here. The town seemed to be surrounded with only open field, but it wouldn't hurt to look.
(i saw the finished work, it's soo cute o ^ 0 ^ o)
(thank you for drawing her :D)

(Also finished her sign up sheet too! Next will be inventories)
The first line of stalls past the gate were mostly trinkets, nick nacks, and various jewelry stalls, and then the area opened a little wider and more stalls lined the tall ally walls. These next few stalls were some food stalls one was selling some fried meats and vegetables and the one beside it was selling what looked like ramen followed by stalls with fresh fruits veggies and meats of all kind. On the other side the were two food stalls on either side of a tavern. Two were selling cheese and meat, one was selling baked sweets, and another was selling bread loaves and sandwiches. Followed by more produce stalls. Further down towards the fountain you could see what looked like someone selling clothes and other items

She was admittedly a little enticed by the sight of the jewelry and clothing stalls, but her rumbling stomach urged her to eat first. I will come back for you soon, beautiful jewelry... Soon... She slipped into the stall that was selling fried meats and vegetables because she didn't feel like trying to cook anything herself right now.
"Hello~! Do you sell fried fish? If not, I'll just take the fried vegetables, please."
(aww the little pink symbols for her class and the cute knife)

(I thought so too!)
A very buff Cream colored Pitbull with intimidating icy blue eyes raised up from behind the stall towering over yours he looked down at you processing your request he offered you a kind smile which didnt fit his frame or physic even a little,
I do just so happen to have some fresh Spiked Cobia Sis caught this morning! Pairs really well with the fried zucchini
he said as he fixed a large skewer full of fish and zucchini rounds and drizzled it with some sort of sauce. And handed it to you
And that will be Two gold pieces mlady, just dont tell nobody I threw in the zucchini on the house
he said with a goofy, yet adorable grin that once again did not match the rest of his body at all.

"Oh, how kind of you," Wisteria said with a happy purr. She exchanged the gold for it, holding the skewer with her pinkie up and a hand underneath to catch any crumbs. "You're not just saying that so it sounds like a good deal, are you?" she joked with an airy laugh. Even though she was really hungry and wanted to eat it quickly, she took small, dainty bites. She didn't want to look like a slob or get indigestion and only prolong her mild suffering. "How long have you been making and selling these?"

He smiled and handed another customer their order that they had called out behind you before answering
Well Sis does the fishing and shes been at it since she could cast a net, which was a half a decade before I came along. And the moment I could walk MaMa had me in the kitchen learning to cook anything and everything. I dont mind doin vender foods like these, but nothing beats a good soup and rolls. And if you like seafood Sis and I will be doing up a seafood cream soup this evening after the vending is over at the Tavern over there.
He said pointing to the doors across the ally. In the daylight the place looked almost dead inside and out, but maybe at night things would liven up.
The Tavern there is called The Ravens Nest, its connected to the inn in a way of sorts, they will house traveling parties that are banded with any guild. And the guild in these parts is located on the opposite side of the fountain once you make it to the middle there. Sis and I are actually guild members of both the merchants and adventurers guilds, makes traveling from town to town and selling monster parts that sis doesnt need, a much smoother process. They aint charging these two days for the migration, but when they do its 60 gold pieces just to get it the gate.
He said before tending another customer. He seemed like he was giving genuine information and knew what he was talking about in the very least. And it wasnt long before a smaller black and tan Hound dong piped around the back of the stall with a basket full of fresh fish and thick slabs of meat.
Oi looks like you made a friend eh Baron?
She said with a suggestive smirk causing the big fellas cheeks to match the shade of red as the meat she just handed him in the basket. And before he could answer she grabbed an empty basket and was gone again. He paused for just a moment to regain his composure before speaking.
Sorry bout that, Sis likes to get under my tail about Ladies every chance she gets, please dont take offense to it.
He said apologetically before serving another customer.
