    There hasn’t been a permanent point of commerce for the Lost in years. Not since…something happened to Sal’s Flesh Market. According to a group of Hobs, traders heading towards their Market Stall, someone has taken up the reins and the location of the old Flesh Market and the Other known most commonly as Sal….is nowhere to be found.

    The Lost, already on the Path, quickly catch up to where Anatole and James had met up with the three tradeshobs, they can still see the deep grooves of the cart tracks, in the muck.

    Anatole stomps through the Hedge. He has his new boots, a green shirt that seems too big in the shoulder (if that is possible), jeans and a body warmer. As on the Hedge Patrol, the body warmer's pockets have been filled with a bottle of water and some ration bars. In addition, the dwarf is wearing a beanie. Battered gloves protect his hands from the sharp thorns of the Hedge.

    As has become customary for this wizened when out in the Hedge, Anatole is carrying his Ax: slung across his shoulder, with the blade facing down.

    He reaches the point where he had met the hobs and pauses, looking around suspiciously. In the Hedge, now dimmed to reflect the Winter Season, his Autumnal mantle with its baroque shadows gives the dwarf a sinister aspect.

    The hedge was a beautiful, interesting, and terrifying place at times. That was true about any wilderness he guessed, and what drove people to go there for “fun.” But the first scouting mission had gone well enough, discovered that the Spider Bazaar was only around in the Summer season and in the fall it went East to New York. Then they had found out about Sal’s, the thing that had James interested and on edge was the missing Other. One having territory so close was problem enough, but a missing one? It was either a cause for celebration or worry, he wanted to know which. The Market was a good place not just to buy things but make contacts, a finger on the pulse of the market is amazing but having a warning system if the Other came back or another took its place was even better.

    The Hedge WAS still dangerous though and who knows what they’d find along the way so it was best to come prepared. He wore thrift store jeans, faded and worn, and a t-shirt that was about a decade out of style at this point but was plain enough to not stand out too badly. Both were cheap, disposable, nothing to worry about it. He had the knife he’d received at Coronation sheathed along his waist, backpack on his back.

    The Cigar holder Yamiyo had got him was turned into a cigarette holder and stuffed in his pocket, he wore two of Titania’s watches on his right wrist. One was already to many if your goal was to keep time in the hedge, knowing that sometimes hedge time gets fuzzy. One watch was to keep track of time on the outside, the other was to check the first in case hedge time got strange.

    He didn’t say anything as they waited for the others, James simply took the time to quietly enjoy a cigarette.

    Equipment: Knife, Backpack, Thermos(coffee), Handful Candy, Backpack, Rope, multi-tool, emergency blanket, road flares, full zippo, 3 packs of cigarettes, sunglasses, 6 granola bars, 2 water bottles, and a flashlight

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. 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. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Mantle

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass. The sound of birds singing can be heard as the wildflowers grow and bloom in vibrant colors where she walks, swaying and lively in the breeze.

    A fairly tall woman, roughly 5'11 with long, wavy dark brown hair. Her eyes are an intense, deep bright blue, reminding one of sapphires. Her lips are full and her skin is flawless. With that perfection comes a body that men fawn and drool over, and women envy.

    Treasured Nix

    A mystery in the Hedge. With Sal’s, which was no longer Sal’s. What could go wrong?

    A lot. A lot could go wrong. It was the Hedge after all.

    So she was dressed for it, black loose fitting pants, a black tank top over which was her spider silk Hedgespun jacket. Her necklace sat around her neck, boots on her feet. Her long hair was tied back in a ponytail, and she didn’t have her engagement ring on. Not knowing what the Hedge was going to have, or what they would find, she didn’t want to bring anything into the Hedge should could lose. But strapped to her upper thigh was a golden dagger, this was her first time using it in the Hedge.

    In her messenger bag, she had a couple trade-able items. A few sun-catchers and pieces of costume jewelry. There was also a bottle of water and some trail mix.

    Spotting James and Anatole, she offers a wave, well, it looks like a wave. Damn translucent hand.

    A nod of respect to James and smile to the dwarf, but no one was talking, so she remains quiet as well.

    Bottle of water, bag of trail mix, 2 sun catchers, 2 necklaces, golden dagger, hedgespun jacket and necklace(see sidebar), bandages and gauze, notebook with pencil with a few sketches inside. WP 3 Health 7

    Her skin brings to mind Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Asian races, though her high cheek bones and sharp facial structure don't match. Most assume she is of mixed ancestry given the pale blonde hair. Alias Mary Maniscalo.

    Amongst the Thorns the Groundskeeper saw no reason to hide the good stuff. She'd decided to come in packing the artillery. The rifle with the welded on silencer. She wore her newly crafted armor as quite the sight. Out of caution Circe had donned a skin suit after what happened with her prior attempt to Hedgespin armor from wood plus a solid pair of steel toed boots for kicks. So where was all her pockets? Oh that'd be the backpack, fanny pack, and tactical belt holster. Throw in a thigh sheath for a knife and Circe felt she was looking pretty good.

    Not that she was lacking in trade goods for the trip either. It was a trip to a market so she made sure to have something. Granted not the good stuff but she wasn't looking for much. Plus the bag wasn't huge. She could bring more next time if the place was worth trading.

    Circe sees the others alrady present. She walks up to them, rifle pointing at the ground now and in one hand. The other fishes into the patriotic fanny pack. Why was everybody quiet? She produces from said pack: a pack of bubblegum. With a shrug she offers it to the other 3, raising her left eyebrow and ear in question.

    Kit: backpack, fanny pack, 3 Ertwen Healing Fruits, Colt (Fiber optic) 45 + 2 extra clips & 20 rounds, SKS + 2 spare clips + 15 rounds + Silencer, knife, black skin suit, Hedgespun Lorica Segmentata, flashlight, thermos (gourmet coffee), 1 roll of duct tape, 2 power bars, 1 water bottle, Cumin powder, 2 pendants, bubblegum, 5 Godiva chocolate bars, Hedgespun multiool

    The Hedge around them echoes in the silence, the path lay before them, the thick grooves of cart wheels mocking in their presence, daring the Lost to press forward.




    We can say Vivian Wing pisces is hanging around behind the party, so they can easily join us when they feel up for it

    Now, y'all can give me Perception is you want, remember your Clarity!

    Anatole has been checking out the glade while the party gathered. Of course, he had already made up his mind which direction to go - assuming that the direction the hobs had come from was the actual direction of Sal's Market - and this limited his focus considerably.

    Circe's red eyes wander from her comrades. And her ears swivel. Whilst there were other skills for tracking whence the hobs came from, it was best to see if they were alone before shoving her face into the dirt.

    A smile and nod to Circe as she approached. Spotting the offered gum, she accepts a piece, why not?

    Sapphires look at the Hedge that surrounded them, looking for anything approaching or seeming out of place. Well, as out of place as something can be in the Hedge. This was a place to never let your guard down, even if you did have gum.

    James let out one final drag of the cigarette before letting go with a cloud of smoke. He flicked the cherry to the ground and stomped it out with his foot, bringing the same foot up to make sure the butt was smothered. Taking out the case and slipping the butt into it before looking up and down the trail.


    "You don't think they were headed to the market?" He said while thumbing the opposite direction the hobs had gone once he'd picked up on where Anatole had been looking. Though who knows what you'd find in the hedge, especially if they had to go off the trod.
