Elflock Falls Community Market!

elflock falls community market
what's up? Sun sparkles across the Greentooth River today with temperatures climbing up into the seventies by noon. It's a great reprieve from such a rainy April, and just in time for Elflock Falls' first Community Market of the spring! Head down to the Riverwalk, where the path along the Greentooth has been transformed into an open air market for locals and traveling merchants sell goods ranging from fresh produce to pickles, paintings, crafts and antiques. Live music fills the air all day, and by evening the afternoon's fresh floral scent is replaced by the deliciously trashy smell of fried food as a variety of food carts set up shop on Elflock Falls' main drag during the dinner hours.

Students still have class today, but that may not stop them from skipping to scope things out. Head downtown today for some shopping and fun! There are still plenty of kids from other schools milling about, as well, giving the market an especially bustling look.
visuals!
volunteer slots! Merlin watches as two kids from Ilvermorny help a crying little girl with dark braided pigtails rescue her kite from a tree. While the Ilvermorny students are still climbing, the little girl fades away, right before Merlin's eyes, leaving behind a lace ribbon kite tail.

Maisy buys a banana cream pie from a stall for the explicit purpose of pieing a Malstrom student in the face.

Wandering a bit off the main path Tony finds a curtained stall where inside an unfamiliar old woman is selling costume jewelry. All the pieces are lovely, and surprisingly on the nose: jeweled cicada broaches, pendants that look like fire, hair pins that look exactly like those strange purple flowers that sometimes spring up around campus. A strange feeling settles in Tony's stomach, and though they may want to buy something from the stall, they get the feeling that they shouldn't—Absolutely should not take anything from this old woman.
They leave in a hurry, and when they bring their friends back to investigate later, they find that the stall is gone. In the grass where it was is a business card: Embrace Infinity, a jewelry shop in Paw Paw, West Virginia—"Just north of the waffle house!" The card is lightly charred on one corner.

At the exact same time, Audrey Poke wanders into an identical tent on the opposite end of the Riverwalk. They decide to purchase a purple flower broach, perhaps against their better judgment. The transaction seems normal enough, except for the weird old lady, but as they step out of the tent, for a moment they feel as though they've walked into a burning house — impossibly hot, dark and bright at once, flames licking up around them. The feeling is gone in the blink of an eye, and the tent they've just walked out of with it. Everything seems normal.
how this works! Students do have class and other events today, but the festivities start up as early as 10AM downtown. Most stalls close by 7, and the hubbub wraps up around 10. The visitors from the Debate and Arithletes events are still in town for at least most of the afternoon and can be found milling about the community market.

We will populate the “STALLS” section with a few NPC shops for students to browse as set pieces, but clubs, groups and individual students are free to host their own stalls, as well! And you aren’t limited to selling handmade goods. You could do a fortune telling station, or a carnival-style RNG game!

Fill out the following form and post it to the STALLS section:

locations! THE STALLS: The length of Elflock Falls’ Riverwalk is lined with tents and stalls today selling all manner of goods and services. Take a peek and see what you find! Post your stalls here.

THE RIVERWALK: Bustling from morning to night today, the Riverwalk is lined with stalls and packed with people browsing and buying.

THE AMPHITHEATER: A brass band is playing from a little barge anchored just off shore of the riverfront amphitheater, and music echoes through the valley, but the best place to listen is right here.

MAIN STREET: Food carts start showing up early, but by dinner time Elflock Falls’s Main Street is packed with them, all gaudily decorated with bright lights and magical accouterments.

OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

THE STALLS: Fresh Flowers!

THE RIVERWALK: Audrey Bought a Burny Brooch (Open+!)

[personal profile] andpoke 2020-04-28 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It was an innocuous enough purchase, she’d thought. Maybe there’d been a little tingle of wrong, turn back as she’d walked into the old lady’s tent, but that was easily enough ignored. They maybe shouldn’t, but those purple flowers bear an already bittersweet nostalgia. The year is almost over. She’d like to remember the bad with the good, and the weeds with the flowers.

But maybe that’s a bad idea.

Audrey’s left blinking in the sunshine at a tent that isn’t there, and the dark burning that consumed her feels almost like fair game. Shaking it off as quickly as she can, she runs up to the first person she sees and grabs them, urgent . This is important. “Just now. You saw a tent. Didn’t you?”

enough of the names were familiar from wasting my youth in fandom and fandom-wank that it was like watching a horror movie where i already know the ending.

THE STALLS: Malstrom Merch

[personal profile] peckishpeople 2020-04-28 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
STALL OWNER(S): Malstrom Student Council! Anastasia Zebrowski and Iago Goodliffe spend a lot of time there, though other Malstrommers swing by, as well as Eris A-B. Hmmmm.
OFFERINGS: Malstrom Merch! Pins, scarves, hoodies and hats, a little bit of everything in Malstrom storm grey. There's even some House-themed gear. Don't you want a House Pestilence t-shirt?? It'll look so good on you!
DECOR: The Malstrom Storm Rider mascot is slapped on top of the stall and everything is decked out in storm grey.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Anything a Peckenpaugh kid picks up immediately starts to smell like poo and the smell sticks to their fingers well after they're gone. Maybe don't waste your time on Lamestrom, Peckenpoos.

Time for a stake out, maybe.

THE STALLS: Tarot Readings

[personal profile] peckishpeople 2020-04-28 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
STALL OWNER(S): Some goof you don't recognize.
OFFERINGS: Certified Bad Tarot Readings
DECOR: A "(Questionable) TAROT READINGS" sign hangs outside of a covered wooden wagon painted with sun and moon and star motifs, draped in curtains of flowering ivy — not the purple variety. Inside is cozy, warmly lit and comfortable, stuffed to bursting with potted plants, all flowering. It smells like freshly brewed coffee. There's a circular table in the center of the small space. Opposite the entrance sits the reader, sipping a warm drink from a mug and engrossed in some shitty fantasy novel.

THE STALLS: Song-O-Grams!

[personal profile] maledictorian 2020-04-28 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
STALL OWNER(S): Kermie Creekmore

OFFERINGS: Ya boy here will perform any message (by song!) you so choose! Kermie assures you, the customer, that he can perform most musical styles and will even provide dancing accompaniment for no additional charge! (This is because Kermie is incapable of singing without also dancing, but might as well make it a ~feature~.) Give him a tune, a style, or just ask him to make it up himself!

Everything is the same price unless you want to send a mean message. Then there's an upcharge. This is entirely up to Kermit's discretion.

DECOR: He has a stool, an iPod classic, and an iPod dock, just so he can show off his singing. There's an extension cord chain running seemingly all the way back to his dorm so he can power his iPod dock, despite the fact that he's close enough to the Gastrognome to just, like, use their fucking power.

ANYTHING ELSE?: The muscheron keep unplugging his extension cords and it's getting to be a problem.
