Welcome to ...inhale
Bremen's Bananas and Bones and Baubles and Bartering Bazaar!

A half-mile away from the entrance to Tunnel N along the wall you come upon a section of floor that has been surrounded by baubled gemstones and small plants, a few of which have started producing tiny blue flowers. Spaces in the semi-circle have been made for obvious entrances and exits and mounds of dirt have been piled up within, upon which various items have been put on display. Within this little 'shop' there is a single employee, a... well a hybrid thing that is currently pacing between the piles rearranging the wares into various configurations. Should you venture closer you will find the following items stocked upon the dirt pedestals:

Pile of pristine bananas There aren't as many bananas here as there have been in the past. Has Bremen learned some restraint after all this time?

Mushrooms! This pedestal is little more than a compost pile for a sizable batch of mushrooms growing upon discarded banana peels. They are probably edible. Of course everything is edible at least once.

Rotten Banana kabob A single banana, long since blackened and rotted, skewered on some kind of black spike. If the spoiled fruit wasn't enough the spike has some kind of implacable ominous quality to it. Why is this even here?

Rock tower within an intricate shield A round metal shield with leather strap covered in pretty patterns and fancy painted colors. Currently placed upside-down like a serving platter with an tower of precariously balanced flat rocks within.

Femurs Two classic-looking bones sit crossed upon the dirt pedestal. The dirt pedestal that seems to be humming...

Baubled gems Only about five gems remain from the original stock as they keep disappearing for one reason or another. It's probably getting close to time to start hunting down another source of them.

Note:

If the Bazaar is currently occupied please check with the players before joining or alternatively sent me a note (either here or on discord) so I can make another instance for you to join. By default a new instance occurs after each transaction or about once a month otherwise if the thread is taking a while.

Cecei was once again exploring. She flew slowly, looking out for anything interesting and stopped when she saw a....strange creature with what looked to be a shop of sorts. She flew closer and landed softly and took a closer look at the wares. Bananas, mushrooms, a strange little rock tower...with a shield? Femurs, strange but ok. Baubled gum, but the thing that caught her off guard most was the rotton banana kabob. She stared at it for a moment before turning to the shop keeper.

"Greetings, my name is Cecei, could you please tell me, what is all of this exactly?"

She looked to the kabob again with disgust, why was it here? Who in the right mind would buy that? It looked ancient!

Speech Here
Thoughts Here

Bremen's flexible neck bent backward as a voice called out from behind him, his head twisting in a disconcerting fashion as both eyes fixed themselves on its source. A new customer! Well a new visitor but a potential customer. This time a much smaller gembound relative to the others but still only a little smaller than he was.

"Welcome!" he called in response with excitement in his voice. In a motion much quicker than looked comfortable the odd creature's body whipped around to face the raven, thankfully bringing his head much more in line with where it looked like it logically should go. "I'm Bremen and this is my Bazaar. I keep lots of cool things that I find here to trade for other cool things that other gembound find. I even have free samples of my fabulous bananas if you are hungry."

At this point the line sounded fully natural and without hesitation. He'd introduced the shop so many times now that it felt just like a new part of his way of greeting new friends. Cecei didn't look to happy with the shop, or at least not the magical talking kabob in the shop, but that was okay. Everyone had their own tastes and not everyone would like the same things. At least Bremen thought that.
