It was a strange place, ancient and written in stone atnd at the same time new and ever changing. It was over 800 years old and showed its roman history readily in its roots. At the same time it showed it more modern self, a creation of its people as they carved out an individual identity and then let it grow. You could see the influence of so many nationalities and peoples as they became part of what was Constantinople. He looked around at the changes, following where his whim took him. He was armed but hid the weapon under his robes, but still within easy grasp. He stopped to admire the beauty and art around him, the wares of the merchants and the new buildings ith their new forms and shapes. He would stop anywhere especially interesting and talk to someone in charge if anyone was around. He also kept an eye out for any places where interesting people might gather. The city was so large and there was so much to see. And this was on ly one small area of it, and yet so vast. He kept his money secure, not on a belt orstring and hidden and tied tight. As much as he enjoyed Petra's company he didn't need to draw more cutpurses. #Post#: 484-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: earthdawn66 Date: February 22, 2018, 6:55 am --------------------------------------------------------- *he walked casually through the Mese area sights smells all over the place. Beauty in fruits and people. No one brushed up against him in an attempt to steal anything but there were people walking about crowding through the steets* It is a pretty night is it not *a man around 40ish spoke grey haired dark eyes broad shoulder standing in around 5 10 dressed ina cloak* #Post#: 486-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: Mannix Date: February 22, 2018, 8:26 am --------------------------------------------------------- Mannix looked at the man speaking to him. "It is a nice night out here. The city is so alive tonight. Do you live in the city?" #Post#: 492-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: earthdawn66 Date: February 22, 2018, 9:28 am --------------------------------------------------------- I do reside with in the city and by the looks and scent you do also. . . *he looked Mannix over a little* #Post#: 498-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: Mannix Date: February 22, 2018, 1:11 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Mannix raised an eyebrow and gave the other man a closer look as well. "Do those who live in the city have a particular scent? I am surprised you can make out my scent around all these other people and the wares in the street. I do enjoy the beauty of this city as well as its variety. Are you on your way anywhere tonight or just strolling?" #Post#: 500-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: earthdawn66 Date: February 22, 2018, 1:16 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The Hagia Sophia has its own very distinct scent as do other places within the city. .. So yes certain scents can rise above the area . . . Just out for an evening stroll *he picked up a couple empty wooden bowls and paid for them* . . . you out for the same or shopping for something? #Post#: 510-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: Mannix Date: February 22, 2018, 2:31 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Mannix watched the man for a moment and then went back to looking around at the city and the people passing by. He was not paranoid but it was always wise to keep your wits about you in the city. Or anywhere. "Like yourself I am just strolling and enjoying the city. I haven't been in this part for a while.This city is both eternal and constantly changing at the same time. Part of it's wonder I guess." #Post#: 513-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: earthdawn66 Date: February 22, 2018, 2:52 pm --------------------------------------------------------- it is that as well as Vile and Empty the city has both of everything in it *he looked up into the sky a moment and turned his head towards him. Mannix could then notice he had a Mark of an Anhk on his neck* #Post#: 517-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: Mannix Date: February 22, 2018, 3:55 pm --------------------------------------------------------- He looked at the man and made note of the emblem on he neck. "Every city has it's dark side or so it has been my experience, as every person has their darkness. As far as empty goes, are you speaking of the quarter? I heard it has been in trouble since the riots." #Post#: 523-------------------------------------------------- Re: Getting to know the city (open) By: earthdawn66 Date: February 23, 2018, 8:11 am --------------------------------------------------------- The guard moved into that area and it has settled down. . .for now *he reached into the vendors stack and pulled out a scroll* Ah this is what I wanted *tossing a bag of coins the vendors way* ***************************************************** DIR Next Page
