    This was...strange.

    For a women made of fire and starlight, who claimed Autumn as her fief and was High Queen (or Activities Director) of an Amusement Park that was saying something.

    After talking to Sera, and hearing it from her Nix herself over what exactly she wanted 'spun, Mhairi thought that she could see if she could collect a few of the reagents that the Spring already said she's be happy with.

    Which lead her to...not Sal's.

    A Market sprung up overnight, it wasn't large or sprawling, but Lady Salome's Corpse Tree Hollow had no roots here.

    Mhairi walked forward, canvas bag over her shoulder. She'd had some luck with things that she thought Sera might like, but after the argument in Sal's that lead to Morgan and the Grub dueling in the Pit. Mhairi decided to carry a few things with her, as a just in case she needed to barter. Honestly it wasn't anything impressive. She didn't have a Garden yet, so she didn't' have a reliable way to get goblin fruits. But some canned meat, and old toys she'd bought from a second hand store might be enough not to have another hob chortle in her face.

    But, fell-flames flicker, she'd forgotten how the Hobs in the Fleshmart had reacted to her...at first. She shouldn't have really. When the Wyrd wrapped around the Wisp, and stole away her stutter, it did more then allow her to speak without stumbling, it made her feel like one of Them. Or at least it did for the hobs. Who freeze, or press themselves as far away from Mhairi as they can, their beady eyes tracking her every moment.

    It said more about the changes that had come over Mhairi since she'd come to Sacramento that she gave the terrified hobs a beaming grin and a wild wave, as she chirps out, "Morning!" even though it was a few hours past noon. The Wisp wondered if the hobs would bow and scrape and agree that the sun had just risen.



    Talked to West, with the state of Changeling, and how the slate's been cleaned, Sal and her Market has moved on....

Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent.

    Treasured Nix

    She knew venturing into Markets alone wasn’t the smartest thing, but she wanted to adventure.

    And see if she could find any ingredients or inspiration for her Hedgespun items. Plus, Markets could be fun, if you were careful and kept your wits about yourself.

    So there she was, browsing, seeing what the various stalls had to offer.

    It wasn’t hard to miss the hobs avoiding someone or something, and as the Nix looked and watched, she saw a familiar face.

    Mhairi!

    A hand is raised in greeting as she weaves her way over to the Wisp,

    “Hey stranger.”
    Greets the Treasured with a smile. The Fairest was dressed casual, perhaps a way not to draw too much attention to herself, or she didn’t feel like putting too much effort into what she wore. A fitted long sleeved black hoodie was over black leggings. The hood was up, her silver and gold mane tucked into it.

    The scent of sweet dew covered blossoms brings the Dread Queen away from the cloying fear-scent clinging on all the hobs.

    "Hello Seraphina." Mhairi greets formally, but warmly. Wondering if the Spring even knew what she'd done by that simple greeting. Those cowering Hobs thought she was one of Them, with Sera's free greeting and Mhairi's lack of confrontational or violent reaction to that greeting...well, there was probably a million and one things racing through the hob's minds. With the first being something that cemented them both a right terrors.

    Well, at least until a sharp eyed hob ousted her, and rained chortling laughs and...other stuff down on them.

    "I was just shopping around for your...present." and obviously Sera needed that jacket if she thought running around in the Hedge like it was a mall was a good idea. She looked good, and really she always did, but something that had a little more protective-umph would ease Mhairi's mind.

    Brigid McCarthy

    Even though her emotion of choice since escaping from her Keeper had laid its head upon the bossom of Desire, Brigid could certainly recall the times when she had felt the caress of Fear, Wrath and Sorrow brush her hair and tried to gently cajole her to their embrace, and she had almost relented more than once especially in the early days of being back in the world, as she was struggling to come to terms of her new life.

    By settling on Spring and the Verdant Rule, Brigid had chosen her Own path that sprang from inside her and not from the actions of somebody else.

    However, right now, Brigid was feeling quite vexed. She hadn't been in Sacramento long at all but had decided to take a short jaunt into the local Hedge so as to explore some possibilities for a Hollow. What she hadn't counted on was the shifting pathway and rippling thorns that seemed to be laughing at her.

    Which is why, as she stumbled upon the goblin market, the Wizened may have looked a little panicked. Only a touch, mind. She was very good at keeping herself composed in such circumstances. When her hazel eyes laid upon Queen Mhairi and Miss Sera, Brigid, who was wearing a simple long-sleeved white blouse, black pants and a black jacket, offered the pair a formal nod (the idea of bowing and showing deference in a market place such as this seemed abhorant to the Wizened in any event).

    "Good....morning?" Brigid questioned, wondering exactly how long she may have been venturing for, before carrying on regardless. "I hope you are both fine on this day?"

    Treasured Nix

    Huh, not just Sera, did she miss something?

    “I wasn’t expecting to see any familiar faces today Mhairi, I hope you're well.” She says, trying to match the Wisps tone, wondering if she wasn’t supposed to be here or something.

    “Oh, I was here looking for items too, or inspiration for items I would need. Though luck must be on my side to run into you here.” The Elemental seemed to have a way of tapping into Sera’s creative mind and getting it moving.

    The faint scent of bleach reached her nose and she looked to see Brigid.

    Smiling warmly to her fellow Spring, “Hello Brigid.” She greeted, “I certainly cannot complain thus far, and you?”

    "I am well. The Market was a surprise, though diverting, and...fun." all the truth, which she needed to keep to, lest the chortles rain down on her and the Ladies Verdant, that would suck, and to be thrown out this strange Market popping up from nothing, with no hint of Sal...Mhairi really didn't want that to happen.

    "Ah, well-"

    Hesitant steps, or at least ones unsure of where they should step, draw closer bringing with them the fresh scent of bleach.

    Darn. It looked like her Fear inducing fun was at an end....unless. Fell-flames flicker as Mhairi turns to the Wizened, the Chatelaine had called her 'Queen' at the last gathering, surrounded by the lost, she'd probably do that unless Mhairi asked her not to...and Mhairi can't recall doing that. So maybe her little game wasn't at an end..."Brigid, greetings. 'Tis morning to some, afternoon to others, and evening to me, always." Mhairi teases with a wink. The motes of fire escape hither and yon, trying to burn the spattering rain that followed Mhairi, but was extinguished, becoming nothing but steam.

    "It seems, Brigid, Seraphina and I are here for the same purpose, though for different reasons." a smile plays upon her lips, and Mhairi wonders what is it about the Hedge that make her feel so confidant? What it the wyrd gifted Bearing? Or the Thorns themselves? Something she'd really need to discover, soon. Lest it bite her in the ass. "Reagents, she for herself, and me for her."

    "I am....better," Brigid replied to the angelic Seraphina, glancing back along the pathway she had stumbled down, the anxiety from being once again within the Hedge slowly subsiding now that she was with her own kind; unless they were as lost as she was. Still, they were at a market, it would seem, and the Queen had mentioned regeants, immediately after the little wink that made the Wizened pause. She was usually very good at being able to read the emotions of others so be more of a help but the wink threw her slightly. However, now the Wizened knew one of Mhairi and Sera's interests, Brigid could most definitely be a better assistant even if she knew very little of the art of spinning the Hedge into raiment, as it was never a matter that had ever interested her.

    Brushing away some imaginary lint from her jacket, Brigid took in the market, wondering if it had been established for some time or simply a roaming market, one that would pop up and then move on once the trade had dried up. Certainly, it looked quite the shambles, which spoke volumes to the Wizened.

    "Well, this will be very interesting," Brigid began excitedly, clasping her hands together, smiling and without a hint of sarcasm. "Now, as no doubt you will both be aware, a Queen never resorts to dealing with those of lesser status than those around her, so if it pleases, I would be honoured to act as your broker in this matter." Brigid could already feel the freshness of Spring starting to spread inside her, where true passion resided. "Wouldn't you both agree?"

    Treasured Nix

    There was a nod as she glanced around, “A surprise indeed, pleasant, and yeah, fun.” She hadn’t been to very many Markets, a few here and there, but she wasn’t an expert. But she was familiar with the risks of these places, though sometimes the risk is worth the reward.

    The Nix then nods in agreement as Mhairi talks about their purpose for being here. “I didn’t feel it was fair to let her have all the fun in obtaining the items.” She says with a sly smile, “Plus, you never know when inspiration will strike, and I’ve found that she brings out the creative side of me.” It was true.

    Brigid’s offer was a pleasant offer. She remembered her mentioning wanting to help and be of service, maybe this was her way of fulfilling whatever drove her.

    “I certainly cannot argue with your reasoning, and completely agree.” Sera was no Queen, and it was up to Mhairi to accept the Springs offer. If she did, it would make things a little more interesting, and give her a chance to see Brigid at work. Nodding her head in deference, “What says the Queen?”

    "Better is good," Mhairi says, semi-seriously as Brigid calms down and pulls herself together. Apparently it wasn't just Mhairi was the surprised to find this market.

    Nodding as Sera spoke, though Mhairi had a hunch that their ideas of fun were vastly different, at least in this instance.

    To Brigid, "It dose indeed seem to be looking that way." then to Sera, "Very true. I thought I'd get a head start, and maybe see if inspiration would strike.

    Fell-flames flicking with good humor, "The Queen agrees!" a haughty nods, though she's smiling. The Wisp turns her gaze away from the Springs and to the cowering hobs, and their wares.

    "Let's see here...." Mhairi murmured. The hobs brightened, this Queen wasn't here to cause chaos, or destruction or at least not yet, and simply wanted to buy something. The Hobs began to straighten, displaying their wares attractively, each hoping and dreading the Celestial Maiden's fell-flame gaze in equal measure. "Captured sounds perhaps? Sera wanted a necklace, I'm still....deciding." She did have a lot of ideas over what exactly she wanted to make Sera's jacket out of, but with the Nix wanting something offering protections, the thoughts she had over using blossoms would have to be saved for later. Mhairi wasn't a good enough hedgespinner to think of how she'd make petals into something that could withstand a serious, or even bladed blow.

    Brigid McCarthy

    The blossoming smile on the Wizened was somewhat contradictory to the spite and bitterness that Brigid could often feel inside her veins. Both Mhairi and, perhaps more so, Seraphina were so absolutely striking in their mien it could come quite natural for Brigid to feel the hate start to spread. Which is why she tended to focus so hard on others, just so she didn't have to focus on what was squirming in her own mind.

    Moving like a shadow, Brigid stood a respectful distance, an arm's length at least, from where the Queen of Autumn perused with Seraphina by her side. Eyes glancing across the wares but mainly focusing on the hobs tending their stalls, Brigid was determined to make a good impression.

    "May I ask what it is you are after, my Queen?" the Wizened enquired, taking no small interest in Mhairi's...technique, the powerful word dropped easily, spilling forth from her mouth as easily as the Lord's prayer from a priest.
