       Caravanserai Market Slave
       Caravanserai Market, PoD ~ MPG
       -- Within the Market Square, a crossroads for all the main
       avenues of the Caravanserai --
       says to ALL: Three girls ran by nearly colliding into a Free
       Woman, the woman cried out, "Watch where you are going, slave
       girls!" They twirled about her, stifling their giggles, "Sorry,
       Mistress!" They cried out in unison. Kei watched for a moment,
       cringing as it seemed that there was going to be a crash of
       sorts and the only ones that would have gotten in trouble were
       the girls. The Woman stalked off mumbling something about the
       slaves needing a whipping to remember their place. One of the
       guards walked by, glaring down at Kei as if she had something to
       do with it, "It wasn't me, Master," she offered up with a grin.
       He heard the giggling girls and followed after them. Kei stayed
       where she was, kneeling in nadu upon the pillow. She was glad
       that she was not among the slaves causing havoc.

       'Twas I who had to face the storm,
       Without a slut to keep me warm.!
       Once again, a certain Singer turned Captain is wandering the
       streets around the brothels and taverns, as is his habit at
       night. Partly because it is the duty of his Caste to aid in the
       general spreading of joy and merriment through song and story.
       Partly because it is a fine way to hear rumors that benefit his
       and his Mate's business concerns. Mostly because it's fun and he
       enjoys his work. Thankfully, unlike most of the besotten
       residents of these streets, he can carry a tune, even if he does
       sing what is popular rather than what is good and plays up his
       image as a drunken Northman with his songs.

       says to -- High Captain Song ---: Her head canted, she heard a
       familiar voice singing, "Sixty men all lost at sea...." her
       voice rang out, singing along with him. She stood swiftly,
       listening carefully, contemplating which path to take. "All of
       them drunk except for me!" She couldn't help but giggle as she
       listened to the song. The words were easy enough to learn and
       follow. She made a choice, moving out into the street, following
       in pursuit of the voice. She didn't know what would happen once
       she found him, but she liked the joy that the Master seemed
       spread. It was contagious. She heard him in the tavern the other
       night, but never got to speak to him.

       says to ALL: He's standing on a corner, his voicing carrying
       through the warm night air. He's clad in the garb of a Northern
       sailor - simple green shirt and trousers - but overlain with the
       long coat favored by the Captains of the South. The man himself
       is a similar study in contrast. He's clearly of the north,
       though slighter of build and closer to six feet than seven. If
       most of the Men of the North are bears, he is a panther - built
       for speed but no less powerful for that. Dark hair falls to his
       shoulders and his beard is neatly trimmed and freshly styled. He
       holds in his hands a cittern - a stringed instrument with a
       longer neck than a lute - which he strums with a frenzied yet
       steady pace. He cuts a dashing figure and seems to have been the
       cause of the running slavegirls that were spied earlier. A small
       crowd of them are gathered around to listen to the shanty and
       looking on the bard with no small amount of open lust.
