Blackwood Grove, Fandom to Baltimore's Anchor Market, Monday Afternoon

[witchoftheflesh]

Okay, so...Adrian's Market jaunt had been pushed back a few days. Mostly because Pam, Rey, and Lydia had all told him that they were coming along with him. Adrian had tried - briefly, and not well - to point out why that was a terrible and dangerous idea, but all of his arguments against had been taken as arguments for and eventually Adrian had bowed to the inevitable and given in.

But they couldn't just go in. They needed a plan and, even more importantly, they needed disguises.

So first, a meeting here to figure out their story and get them all into the proper disguises, and then it was off to the Market.

If he were going anywhere that wasn't crawling with warlocks, Gilgamesh's enforcers, and had a slave pit to boot, Adrian would almost be excited. Sadly, that was exactly what each Market was like and so he was filled with dread instead.

"Do you think that they'll be more willing to listen to reason and stay here today?" he asked Boston.

The cat didn't even deign to reply, just opened one baleful eye long enough to look at him and then closed it again to nap.

"Yeah," he sighed. "Me neither."

[For the aforementioned ladies please!]

"It's so far sounded like it could go either way," Rey said, and she was trying so hard not to be too obvious in noting her admittedly lovely dress.

"It's a shopping trip."

Into enemy territory, yes, yes, but still.

"You save threatening the shopkeepers for after they try to cheat you."

[thatwaslucky]

"I do t think it's the shopkeepers we're worrying about?"

Maybe she was wrong!

[mustbeawitch]

"Yes, but we shouldn't act as if we're worried about anything but shopkeepers." This was why you people needed Lydia.

"I kind of have to, in a way," Rey said. "It's how a lot of the helpful Force stuff works."

[mustbeawitch]

"Acting suspicious?" Lydia asked, confused. That sounded like the Force wanted to get you into trouble, Rey.

[thatwaslucky]

"Not suspicious." How dare you. "Guarded, maybe."
