[Closed] Market Day (Social?)
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2019 9:07 pm
The Seledar Market known for it's night life unlike it's sister the Gullean Market, awnings strew the streets of the market town. To call it a town was generous Seledar was more a hodgepodge of brothels, bath houses, stalls and shops. The pathways that wound within the collection of buildings, tents and the like were cobblestone footways at best and mud tracks at worst. At the very least Sji hoped it was just mud, he continued on down one particular street making his way from vendor to vendor browsing everything they had to offer.
The street was tightly packed in, although mostly by makeshift stalls that had been set up at a moments notice that morning. A small group of scrawny malnourished street urchins played a game involving stones and sticks with arbitrary rules subject to change at the whims of the children playing. Sji arrived at a bath house pausing to read the sign, a soak did sound good but this was not that kind of day.
Sji hummed cheerfully, his high pitched voice cutting the air in a chilling manner to the casual passerby, this resulted in space being granted for him to move as the townsfolk gave him a wide berth. A light skip in his step Sji moved merrily to the next stall, a hunched over elderly merchant stood behind a bench of various trinkets displayed in a haphazard manner.
"See anything you like young man?" A hoarse whisper came from the dried lips of the old merchant, he did not see a young boy in front of him but instead a potential customer to be milked for every penny. Sji seemed blissfully unaware instead picking up an gold ear loop only a few millimetre in diameter, examining it in detail. "Ah something to your liking? You have excellent taste young sir, it can be yours for a modest sum." The merchant left pricing vague but Sji was not a fool to the dealings of shady merchants such as this one, it had not been the first time he had encountered someone like him.
In a bright cheery voice Sji replied. "I do like it, I think I will just keep it. haha~" Sji turned and moved on as the merchant began to protest and hobble after the young shinobi, who had already began to put the small loop into a slightly healed piercing in his left ear. The elderly man continued to cry out after Sji to return the belongings, his pleas for someone to do something falling upon deaf ears nobody got involved in other people's business in this town. Finally the merchant's persistence paid off, Sji slowed his pace down allowing the man to catch up before suddenly spinning on a heel delivering a swift kick into the lower abdomen of the already bent over old man. Sji didn't even take time to see if the merchant dropped to the ground before carrying on his merry way humming the same tune once more, he had a purpose here someone he intended to seek out someone he had heard to be strong. An ear to ear grin came across his face as excitement began to build. "Oh this is going to be the best day ever!"
