The Spellward
10 PM - 12 AM EST
About
"Knowledge belongs to all. The books belong to me."A stern looking, eerily silent and short spoken Duskwight Elezen stands behind a stall. On it, a single thing: a business card, adorned with an arcane sigil, and a name: "The Spellward."Behind him, a pile of books, ancient, by the looks of it. Though any titles they may have had have since faded to time, even the briefest glance at them would make one thing clear: There was knowledge to be found in these books. Arcane knowledge? Forbidden knowledge? Perhaps a delicious recipe? Regardless, he did not seem eager to part with them, content to observe in silence, and let people approach him. Will you?
What's on offer...
Books - though Malorin is an odd individual. They will not be available for browsing. He will ask people what knowledge they seek, and based on their answer, he will recommend a book of his choosing. Whether they want it or not will be up to them.
Lotus & Lily
8 PM - 12 AM
About
A rising parlor of ink and shadow, nestled in the gambling dens of Kugane and changing locations every night. Few have heard of such a strange place, but word is steadily rising within the city's Yakuza ranks of the proprietress and her highly sought out arts. While most would have dispelled the Lotus & Lily as another snake oil establishment on first sight, many more clients have steadily been spreading rumors of the ink's arcane properties."They say, her drawings come to life and unleash as beasts escaped from the skin."
"Her treatments seem sketchy at first, but I've been able to use my bad arm ever since I had it looked at..."
"Even the famed Dragon of Kojima says that her ink isn't to be trifled with. I hear his auspicious tattoo was etched into him over a month by the sly woman!"Though many have tried to mimic the mistress's mystic artwork, it seems few have been able to truly master her ways. Much to even her own chagrin and frustration, often brutally taken out on anyone who even dares to ask for a tattoo removal. Still, if you ever want to see if these rumors are true or nothing buy superstition... they say to bring the woman a gift of flesh- whatever that means.In addition to her tattoos, Lotus & Lily is a hotbed of underworld gossip and information. Speak to the owner, and she will enlighten you with many tales of her own. If ever you need a job, she'll hire you for unsavory deeds suited to her needs.Best of luck to you, foolish soul. May you ever keep your safety if you decide to pursue the ink trail...
What's on offer...
Enchanted Irezumi Tattoos, designed to invoke a specific spell according to their designs. Comes in two subtypes.- Abjuration: Protective by nature. Geometrical designs to create barriers, or natural motifs to esuna harmful effects. Can be used to banish entities as well!-Conjuration: Transporting, summoning, and portals! Utilized as a one-time spell to summon or move the caster or a caster's chosen items. Useful for weapon concealment.-Divination: Unfortunately, Lotus and Lily is unable to provide divination services for those marked by our works. We take no responsibility for taking your future from you.-Enchantment: The proprietress of Lotus and Lily does not and cannot guarantee safety from being puppeteered. Our tattoos most definitely do not "enchant" any living being, Ijin-dono.-Evocation: Bring the artwork to life for a few uses depending on the size and complexity of the work. Akin to a Pictomancer's spells.-Illusion: Art is full of illusions. So is life. Reality is so difficult to portray accurately, don't you think? Isn't it more interesting to deceive the senses when the world seems boring.-Transmutation: Command the art to consume the flesh, transforming your physical form and abilities to a new, artistic version. Taboo, for western ijin at least. Highly dangerous.-Necromancy: Is not, and will never be a service that we offer. The dead should stay that way. Never dig up old ghosts.-Tea!-Gossip!-Funny old lady stories that will bore you.

This is no ordinary market, after all. And perhaps not an ordinary miqo'te.Along the various spaces along the stall's counterspace are adorned various coffee equipments - a grinder, a pour-over pot, an ishgardian press, seemingly chosen explicitly to make traditional coffee on the go.

For those who want their character to be ICly hired by the Kraken's Cove market to handle security and safety during the monthly event.
ICly, security's job is to ensure that disturbances don't effect the merchants and that the rules of the market are upheld. They report to the Security Officer.
Every member welcomed into security will be ICly required to sign a contract which clarifies their duties and binds them to a non-disclosure agreement. Who knows if that'd actually hold up in a court of law?
OOCly, security deals with market-goers strictly ICly. Anything that escalates to an OOC argument should be directed to a moderator. We ask security players to intervene in fights, mingle with slower stalls, and provide the general ambience of muscled protection so that the crooks don't get any ideas.
There maximum of 10 security players per market. If more than 10 people are interested in playing security, security for the night will be randomly selected with those who were unable receiving priority next market.

A pleasing tartness pervading the treat along with something else, slightly sharp. It was like drinking a nightcap.
