Marcellus Venturi of Tharna
Caste of Builders
-- is before or upon one of the many platforms on the palisade
ringing the Sardar Mountains, where pilgrims petition and pay
honor to Priest-Kings --
says to ALL: I joined the long line for the pilgrimage platform,
and watched people in the line. I'd been standing in it for
about 3 ahns so far from what I could tell, and find great
amusement at the stands that sold drinks and snacks along the
way. I stopped at one such stand, and acquired myself a small
bottle of peach juice, and a couple of pastries, which I tried
to eat as carefully as possible. I was pleased to find one of
the pastries was peach, the other being cherry. I shifted from
foot to foot, just listening to the various conversations around
me. A few of them would bring a chuckle to my lips, and still
others made me miss home. At that thought, my eyes skimmed the
mountains and off to the south a bit.. somewhere out there lay
Tharna, with all its problems. Every once in awhile, I'd find
myself considering the craziness of returning. I had heard mere
rumor of the fact that the reign of the Silver Masks was over,
but I would not find out. After all, the city's "hospitality"
had been the thing of legend, and in the end nothing but a
clever ploy. No. I would not return to the subjugation of mad
women, gray tunics and lifeless streets. Better to remember how
it had been. I brought a hand to a pair of yellow cords that
hung at my hip even still, a quiet attestation to those days
long since passed.
Finally though, it was my turn at the platform and I moved up
towards it. I had brought quite a few things to offer to the
Priest Kings this year, ranging from a percentage of coinage I'd
earned, all the way up to and including a Schendian sapphire I'd
traded for. This year was a critical one to me for reasons I
could not yet fully fathom. My silent prayers would remain my
own, but were given respectfully from one knee.. and then after
about five ehn, I headed out to enjoy the rest of the fair.

Marcellus Venturi of Tharna
Caste of Builders
-- is upon the long central dirt avenue between tents, booths,
stalls, pavilions, and stockades --
says to ALL: I left the long line and the platforms behind, once
in awhile taking a sip of peach juice. It occurred to me that I
should probably get some actual food, and so I would do that. I
made my way along the central avenue, weaving in and out of the
crowd as I went. I stopped on the way to pay for a tent to rent
till the end of the Fair, and then continued on my way. I had a
map that would lead me to my tent, and would go there later. For
now, I aimed for the large restaurant tent in the distance. It
was easy to find for the signs, and the smell of food. I
politely nodded now and then to those I passed, smiling as well.
I got ever closer and soon there was another shorter line to get
into the tent.

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||Merc: I nodded politely as you moved
out of the way, and smiled.
"No need for all that, Lady. Plenty of tent for everyone to walk
in please. "
I gestured that you could just continue on your way and I let my
eyes scan the area. As far as knowing me, it was very unlikely
since I was quite the solitary person. Unless of course you had
been from Tharna then perhaps you would have seen me in passing.
As for my appearance as you studied me, I was very simply
dressed in some working clothes. I had on leather pants and
boots of a rich brown color, with a nearly yellow tint over it,
and a pale yellow tunic that would denote my Caste-that of the
Builders. I had a pair of golden cords that hung near my left
hip, and didn't appear armed whatsoever. This was the fair after
all. I took pause to briefly study you as well since you were
there and all.

from the group you'd been heading towards anyway. I didn't quite
sit yet , and merely rested my hand on the table, making my
intent clear to any that might try to claim my seat.
"Tal to you then Nyah, of Sulport. I am Marcellus Venturi of

"Well I imagine that would be true of one of your Caste. In my
case, not as much. I find it a bit .. overwhelming to be honest.
But, it could be worse I suppose. Indulge me, if you would Lady,
what are you a merchant of exactly?"

I smiled as you spoke, and then lowered a brow as you spoke on
Business...."I am a Merchant of all... I have anything you wish

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||Merc: I thought on that for a time,
and uttered a quiet.. "hm" as I considered the things mentioned.
Finally I shook my head some.
"Well i don't have land for animals, though I am sure yours are
excellent. You actually have two things that I am interested in
however. One, is that you are from Sulport. It is my intention
to head that way at the conclusion of the fair, since I have
heard on the wind that those of my Caste might be needed there.
Secondly.. you are a merchant that is actually personable, which
is a very good thing. I wonder if you are the type of Merchant
that would be willing to set up.. oh what is that word you all
use.. consignment. Yes.. that's the one.

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||Merc: I smiled and turned to a
passing slave that worked for the Fair and ordered myself a
large bowl of beef stew, with honeyed bread and butter. I then
turned back to you.
"That would all be great for down the line, but the thing Im
looking to do is as follows. With me.. I am not a merchant
minded individual. However, I have been told more than once that
I should sell some of the stuff I make. My ultimate goal is to
hire a merchant to run a booth in the Market, and then when it's
in season, the Fair. This of course is where the consignment
concept comes in, and a percentage of all sales would be
negotiated and contracted and written out. The stuff I have to
sell ranges from statues carved out of wood, furniture, and even
things like small houses that kids seem to love.. I also carve
animals, dolls and lots of other random stuff. So.. do you think
you could sell such things, and would you perhaps be interested
in such an arrangement?"

and perused the large platter she had mumbling to myself seeing
only the vanilla and ramberry layers there knowing full well the
others were about. My head shook and I couldnt help the
dissapointment and frown.. " no no... I need the chocolate
one.... its the one I really need. You go girl.. off you go and
find me a great big piece of that chocolate layer please .... on
a fresh plate of course yes" and turned expecting her to just go
and do as she was bid of course. I leant a little listening to
you now and the man you were speaking with. Frowning slightly
that Sisterly protectiveness coming over me and I just regarded
him a moment in silence listening to the conversations. I was
frowning in thought... listening and heard the squeals and
yells... then the screams and cries and a dark Brutus the Butt
Head Verr streak dart past the door of the tent hot on the heels
of a slave. " Oh good grief Nyah... Brutus is out!!!"

to the flap of the tent as you hollered towards Nyah, and I
blinked a bit nonplussed. I could not help the laugh that
escaped as the verr was raising a ruckus just outside the tent.
I got to my feet, but waited to see what Nyah would do, since
you'd called out to her.

says to || Nyah Coultrain ||Merc: I pushed myself up suddenly
all thought of that delicious chocolatey goodness gone from
thought and darted out the tent flap... running in the direction
of the slave and the Verr and the screams and the commotion and
saw them both ... the Verr standing all proud of himself with
the poor trembling slave bailed up at a fence. I pushed my way
through the crowd as they just stood around not sure what to
do... the Verr eyeing off the slave in the most unsavoury way
and knew... just knew he was signing his own death warrant. I
grabbed a piece of rope from the nearby stall and knew if I
showed fear he would go after me too.. he and I had a mutual
dislike but as I had got here first... oddly I was rather speedy
for my size.... I moved over to him and grabbed him by the
horns... the rope quickly wrapping about his throat and securing
it and tugging so he knew who was boss. I looked at him now
giving him the "dont mess with me look" and tugged.. pulling him
back now toward the pen from which he had escaped.

him names that a Proper Free Woman shouldnt even know let alone

him myself. I tugged down toward the pens pulling him as hard as
I could half dragging him and stopped a moment. Suddenly a hand
lifted and I wiped over the top of my lip.. the frosting still
there.. evidence of my great cake love affair and I muttered
even louder. Oh good grief not that too!!!

"That would be excellent. We can discuss such arrangements once
I arrive in Sulport then... "
I kept watching the spectacle that was the verr wrestling at the
moment. The slave returned with my food, and I had her put it on
the table. I took my change from her and dismissed her.
