Monthly Market - The Park, Saturday Afternoon

Sep 27, 2008 09:46

After a morning of busywork about the place, the park had been set up with several booths for the vendors that were soon to arrive. There were places to mingle, there were places to shop, and there was probably somewhere quiet left somewhere around the grounds, too. Fandom's Monthly Market had opened again ( Read more... )

Booth: The Arms Hotel spring_lost September 27 2008, 07:45:43 UTC

Fandom's cheery hotel has a cheery booth here.

Owner: Mary Connell.

Viki had to admit that she wasn't not entirely sure about being at a booth rather than the hotel this afternoon, as it was a break in the routine of things and wasn't that odd?

Then she had to stop and contemplate if she ought to be worried that she had a routine here, because routines never ended well for her and next thing, just as she got more comfortable into one she'd wind up somewhere else.

The pastries were cute though, and the tea was delicious today so she set it all out and tried out a smile for anyone passing by.

"Hiiii Viki!" Momoko spotted a familiar face and bounced over to the Arms Hotel booth. "How are you? This market is really neat. So you're manning a booth for the hotel? Have many people stopped by yet? Oooh. Are these pastries made by the cook at the hotel? He's really good. Can I try one?"

Re: Booth: The Arms Hotel blinkandsneeze September 28 2008, 02:33:03 UTC

"It's been not busy, but not slow," she said, smiling brightly. "And they are, I do believe, which would you like to try? We have all sorts! And I have been well enough, have you been?"

Booth: Kirk's Christmas Ornament Emporium spring_lost September 27 2008, 07:46:15 UTC

Kirk's handmade Christmas ornaments, just about ready for your autumn.

Owner: Kirk Gleason

Re: Booth: Kirk's Christmas Ornament Emporium humankirk September 27 2008, 13:16:03 UTC

Another market, another trip to the weird little place where Rory graduated high school.

Kirk's booth was set up to display a wide variety of homemade Christmas ornaments ("It's Never Too Early To Be Prepared for Christmas", the sign at his booth declared). The ornaments were, of course, handmade by Kirk. The selection included asymmetrical gingerbread men, glass balls that weren't actually glass balls at all but racquetballs with hooks in them (it was more cost effective to buy and paint racquetballs than it was to learn how to blow glass), a wide variety of lifesize papier-mâché animal heads (several cats, a few small dogs, three kinds of fish, and, for some reason, a moose), and wallet-size photos of Kirk himself with hooks through them. And that was just the start of it.

Clearly, he had worked very hard on these ornaments. Others might debate whether it was time well spent. Kirk just felt like it was time to make a sale.

[OOC: I'll be afk for a couple hours in the early afternoon. Otherwise, Kirk's around. Again.]

"You again?"

Anakin was thrilled. Really.

Re: Booth: Kirk's Christmas Ornament Emporium humankirk September 27 2008, 23:24:39 UTC

"Hello, Anakin. Welcome to Kirk's Christmas Ornament Emporium. Can I interest you in a handmade Christmas ornament to surprise Rory with?"

Booth: Radek of Boktor's Curios spring_lost September 27 2008, 07:46:43 UTC

A medieval streetvendor has a booth here to peddle his wares. Buying and selling!

Owner: Radek of Boktor

Re: Booth: Radek of Boktor's Curios radekofboktor September 28 2008, 00:11:47 UTC

Silk finally found his booth, and began unloading all manner of curios, knick knacks and statuary and jewelry from his packs, setting them up on the table. This was a strange land he'd found himself in. Some brisk trade would no doubt help him get the lay of the land.

"Good gentles all, come right up and see what I have to offer! The finest goods from exotic locales! I promise you, you will find nothing like these items anywhere else!"

[Goods are moddable, or if you have no idea, Silk, I mean Radek, will be happy to make some suggestions.]

Re: Booth: Radek of Boktor's Curios new_to_liirness September 28 2008, 00:33:50 UTC

Exotic goods occasionally meant spices, which was why Liir ended up wandering over to the booth.

"What manner of goods?" he asked curiously.

Re: Booth: Radek of Boktor's Curios radekofboktor September 28 2008, 00:42:01 UTC

"All manner of things young sir." Silk assured him. Jewelry and metal work from Riva, Tolnedran perfumes, Cherek Daggers, Sendarian spices, and that's only a small sample of what I have to offer."

Booth: Hoo's On First spring_lost September 27 2008, 07:48:33 UTC

A Chinese-American restaurant chain straight from Sunset Towers.

Owner: Grace Windsor Wexler and James Shin Hoo.

Re: Booth: Hoo's On First bythelakeshore September 27 2008, 12:37:41 UTC

While Grace was still upset about both her husband's and James' insistence in not bringing little Sunny (she would have looked adorable in her little Chinese dress serving out the sample), she was never one to seize an opportunity for herself. Almost chomping at the bit to get to people to tell them about the restaurant and try the samples and get their thoughts on the matter, she was ready to go with a platter full of spring rolls, egg roles, crab macau, and the very experimental bits of soy sauce burgers and sweet'n'sour french freedom fries.

And looking out for her daughter, while hoping terribly she didn't run into her daughter's awful boyfriend.

Re: Booth: Hoo's On First scary_jeff September 27 2008, 14:12:31 UTC

Jeff had been pottering around the market aimlessly for a while. It wasn't like he had anything better to do (except maybe mope around about the loss of his breasts). He did, however, find himself with something of a chill up his spine he didn't fully recognise the further he made it down the market.

It made him nervous, but then everything did, and by the time he realised just how nervous it was making him, he had already seen Her, subsequently frozen, and gone, "Hrrhr."

Re: Booth: Hoo's On First bythelakeshore September 27 2008, 20:13:35 UTC

Grace...was afraid that something like this might happen. The only reason she didn't cross her arms in front of her in distaste was because she was holding a tray for sugar snap peas. "Mister Murdock," she said, greeting him a bit tersely. Turtle was such a smart girl; why couldn't she just find some nice doctor like Angela had to go off and date?

Handmade art at a good price!

Owner: Claudia Lynn Kishi

Re: Booth: Claudia's Creations creativeclaud September 27 2008, 12:05:03 UTC

Claudia was extremely cheerful as she sat in her booth. She had put out a few different paintings, pottery pieces, jewelery and some of the different pieces of hand made clothing that she was looking at selling. She had also taken the initiative of putting out her portfolio to show the different types of art that she could make, she was always willing to do commissions.

Re: Booth: Claudia's Creations gkar_lastkhari September 27 2008, 16:17:38 UTC

G'Kar stopped and looked over the booth. He liked much of what he saw. He gave a friendly smile to the young woman there. "Good morning."

Re: Booth: Claudia's Creations creativeclaud September 28 2008, 00:05:05 UTC

Claudia was slightly taken aback by the man's appearance but she quickly covered up her surprise and smiled, "good morning,"
