Goldenrod City Christmas Market

[indigo_league]

Who: Everyone
Where: Goldenrod Christmas Market
When: December 1st - December 31st
Summary: Ah, Christmas time! A time of joy, family and... commerce?


Like every year, the Goldenrod Christmas Market is opened on December 1st by a Santa (not the Santa, but certainly a Santa) with a merry Ho-Ho-Ho and a jolly tinkle of sleigh bells. And like every year, the stalls are stacked to the brim, overflowing with everything you might wish to buy this Christmas season. Every few stalls, the items make way for hot food and drink -- waffles, hot chocolate, cider, you name it and you can most certainly find it.

New this year, however, is that the stalls are not just manned by people native to this world. For the first year ever, Otherworlders have also had the option of setting up a stall, whether for the entire month or just for a few days. So if you have a special skill, a knack for crafting, or simply a lust for poke-bucks, why not come join the festivities and maybe make a little extra money?

[Someone is enticed over by the collection of books. In fact, this little man seems even more interested when he witnesses Jaskier signing a copy for someone.

... Maybe his nervousness makes him hang back until the other customers have cleared off, even if it takes a minute. But sooner or later, a young boy will approach the bard's table sheepishly.]

Um, excuse me, sir... Did you write these?

Hello, young man. You can call me Jaskier. [He's aware of how freely people throw "sir" around here, but even if he's been here a year, the knight connotations are still strong in his mind.] Indeed I did! A little over two decades of poems and lyrics brought together on paper and ink. If you're looking to read about other realms, you've come to the right place.

[Little boys usually aren't interested in his poetry... but he'll always be happy to help a bloke break society's imposed mold.]

[Then prepare to meet your new littlest biggest fan, Jaskier!

For all his love of reading, Senjuro has never met an author before -- at least not a published one. Even not knowing the quality of the works yet, he's a bit starstruck already. Plus, reading material around here is... scarce, so far.]

I would enjoy that very much... I hope I have enough for both volumes!

Are the "other realms" fictional, or are they tales from your world?

[Oh no, look at him. Such a sweetheart. Jaskier's heart is already melting a little, and since his ego is getting a good stroke out of this as well, he decides to do his good deed of the day.]

I'll tell you what. [He leans over the table with a hand around his mouth, pretending to tell Senjuro a secret.] I will accept you telling me a story from your realm as part of the payment, what do you think?

[He winks before leaning back against the chair again, ready to answer any questions. Oh, how wonderful it is to see such youth interested in the arts!]

The books I've published so far are tales from my world. I've written some songs about the tales of the otherworlders, but they aren't enough for a compilation quite yet. You can hear them, however! I've recorded them all, they're on my Staryutube channel.

[Look, he's been here a whole year. He's caught on with the trends.]
