| Ahhh, it's a busy day! There is so much going on in the port. The fishermen had just returned and brought with them a huge catch of fish. The market is buzzing with deals, bargains, trickery, ignorance, and those who know their way around easily amass sums of money while the ignorant is left scratching at his head. Percy carefully swerves around the crates and crates of fish while he ooh'd and aah'd at the catch. He considers himself fairly proficient at cooking. He is confident he can name quite a hefty specie of fish, but today's just not his day. There are just too many! And it's not just fish, but all kinds of sea creatures. Squid, octopi, crabs, you name it. He tries his luck with some plump shrimps. He chooses a particularly small stall. "Hi, good morning!" he cheerfully greets the old lady. She has gray hair tied in a bun, with strands framing her small face. She has a hunched back and a crinkling smile. Percy points at the largest shrimp in her array. "How much for this lil guy?" "Might as well not call it little, else it shall bite even in death!" the old lady rasped at a shrill voice. Percy laughs with her and utters a quick 'all right, all right.' "Anyhoo, that'll cost you about a hundred gold, good sir, a kilo of that." Percy clicks his tongue, tilting his head to the side. He pretends to think about the price. "Awww, it's a waste~ how about 90 for the shrimp? This is my first buy of the morning, and I'd hate to see my gold spent like that~ I have lots but the rich don't spend quite like that." Now he tries to be a rich man. He sees the old lady's eye sparkle at the bit of false information. It takes a few exchanges before he's able to get away with two kilos of shrimp for a hundred sixty gold. "Thank you so much, I'll be back!" he says, quite happy with the end result. Just as he rises he sees a sparkle on the ground. His brown eyes focuses and sees a glitterin band of sapphire and diamonds. It's a small thing, and is drenched in mud. He goes to pick up the thing. "Wow, this must be so expensive," Percy muses. notes // hello here it is! the port has some hidden alleys i assume uwu [attr="class","itemspercy"]items used // [attr="class,"imagepercy"] [attr="class","scrollpercy"]  SCROLL NAME HERE[attr="class","scrollpercy"]  SCROLL NAME HERE[attr="class","scrollpercy"]  SCROLL NAME HERE[attr="class","scrollpercy"]  SCROLL NAME HERE[attr="class","scrollpercy"]  SCROLL NAME HERE[attr="class","scrollpercy"]  SCROLL NAME HERE |  Shoot an apple off my head and a Trouble that can't be named A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing Confusion that never stops The closing walls and the ticking clocks |
