Praestigiae Omnibus

Post by OrdinaryCitizen » December 27th, 2022, 10:13 pm

A reserved figure arrives at Bright Lantern, making his way towards the taciturn mercantile alley. He calmly unpacks his merchandise, setting a varied assortment of scrolls and books in a tidy, systematic manner. Tucking his long hair inside his collar, the name "Trevor" becomes visible on a tag by his lapel. The newly arrived dealer blows gently onto a monocle retrieved from an inner pocket, using it to peruse an old book whilst waiting for potential customers.

Trevor meticulously stacks the new additions of his wares, following a system developed through years of diligent study. Once the restocking is done, he goes back to the manuscript he had his eyes on this time.

Fresh Blood Stock and Other Oddities

Post by OrdinaryCitizen » January 12th, 2023, 3:50 pm

One by one, Trevor adds stabilizing agents to several vials containing a wide assortment of substances, including vitreous or viscous red fluids that may as well be blood. He carefully sets them for display in proper holders, removing red-smeared white gloves trying his best to ignore Alexandria's furtive glances from the neighboring stall. Before returning to his customary reading, Trevor tilts his tag slightly to restore its pristine perpendicularity.

Grimoires and Soul Powder

Post by OrdinaryCitizen » February 1st, 2023, 8:06 am

Trevor busies himself with stacking a collection of books in a reserved shelf of his stand, each cover charged with a myriad of effects ranging from sparkles to heavenly gleam. Right underneath it, he lines up a row of small bags filled to the brim with a delicate, silky blue powder. These once were living beings and people from earlier times, and so the taciturn merchant handles that particular merchandise with respect, perhaps deference. Trevor starts cataloguing everything in his ledger, keeping a watchful eye on the passersby from the corner of his glasses.

Fire Sale

Post by OrdinaryCitizen » August 9th, 2023, 7:07 pm

The collected merchant organizes his wares on display, adding a carefully handwritten note on every other shelf:

"Fire sale: everything must go. Wares on display will be available for seven more days, and customers interested in bulk purchases will receive sensible discounts. Leave word if you wish to strike a deal within this period".

[OOC PSA: Trevor will stop offering his wares shortly, buyers will have a week to acquire anything from his shop.]
