As
they continue to walk, the market begins to seem more lively once
more. The stalls are once more piled high with boxes and jars, bowls
and flasks, all containing colourful liquids or sparkling gasses.
One bares a sign which reads “CLICHES! Three for Two!”, while
another declares “Weak Characters, Buy One Get One Free!” A
third has a notice “All You Can Eat Back Story – Tell Us Yours,
Gorge On Ours!”
Raven
is about to comment when a black gentleman in a hoodie and low slung
jeans approaches. “A'ight,” he says, “You looking to score
some Plot? Mine's so pure you'll be gone for weeks.”
“What?”
Raven asks, but the guide answers for them.
“We
are on an errand for the author,” he tells the plot vendor,
“It would be unwise to delay us unnecessarily.”
