Floating Market
The Floating Market
Long ago in the Starmourn sector, a group of artisans, outcasts, and traders happened to meet at a grimy and ailing flea market in the depths of a Jerzah backwater. Each had been attempting to make a living doing what they loved, and it had brought them... there- exasperated, defeated, and poorer than they'd started.
A total of 7 attended that flea market, and one of them was a feracht that had walked in from the rainy street. So there seemed only one thing for them to do: they went and got dakafaced at a local purveyor of (not so) fine beverages. (The feracht was given a bowl of akbaz milk.)
Then they came up with a plan.
Between them they had a black market ship, an enterprising mind, an eye for design, street smarts, connections, and really, really big weapons. Those traders were Hatti Stasny, Ikki Nekil, Heot Mnpa-cero, Gerhart Algar, Kino Nakada, and Fanuihil. The feracht's name is Muff'n.
And thus, The Floating Market was born. The Founders lovingly restored their vast ship and refitted it to be a hub of commerce. They researched the daka out of trade regulations aboard ships. They found loopholes. They exploited loopholes. They bribed some people. It is whispered that, possibly, they murdered some others.
Regardless, the end result is the Floating Market - a bastion of free trade, free speech, and freedom in the stars. There you will find exotic goods as well as common goods, antiques as well as oddities. It is said, in fact, that if it is for sale, you will, eventually, find it at the Floating Market.
The Founders hope you find what you are looking for.
What does one do at these markets?
At the illustrious Floating Market, players can purchase things that will only ever be available from the Market, as well as some promo items available for purchase with marks instead of credits.
Some goods will be rare. Some will not. There may be only one of some items. The stock may change while the market is open. There is no guarantee you will ever see anything at one market at the next market. You might. You might not. Go in with the mindset that if you want it, you should buy it. The Floating Market is entirely changeable.
For this round, many of the shops our veterans know and love are returning in some form or another, giving our new folks access to their fantastic wares. However we've also added several brand NEW shops and NPCs to meet!
What if I want to sell things?
Players can claim a market stall (one per person!) for 50k marks and sell their wares during for the entire span of the market for the chance to make several loads of marks and even earn new titles!
All wares and props will be cleared automatically at the end of the market, so be sure to remove anything from your shop before it resets! We hope for this place to be a hub of roleplay while it is town.
