I could hardly believe my eyes...when the Mayor and I gated into WBB, our eyes and ears were assaulted by hawkers screaming about noble Nightmares, food, and clothing, people shouting that they wanted to buy SCNP this, and that...and the litter! A young man stood on the banks of the river, brazenly fishing and flinging shoes and such at passersby, not to mention great, flopping, fish everywhere. After the clean, quiet streets of Zento, you can imagine how this affected the Mayor's delicate sensibilities. To soothe himself, he began tailoring tasteful garments made of some of the finest cloth to be had. Soon brightly robed citizens were teeming around the bank...some strangely multiplied after muttering a few incantations, until a veritable pastel horde swarmed the area.
While there, I could hardly credit it, but I saw a knight bearing the crest of the Silver Serpents brawling with an outraged beggar, while in another part of town, an irate shopgirl ran screaming after some hapless citizen for unknown reasons, pummeling him with her fists whenever she caught him. I saw citizens downing food piled in the streets that was MOST questionable, and not surprising that they became ill afterward, and more than one poor citizen inexplicably seemed to spontaneously combust right next to me.
A vicious snowball fight took place in the environs of the bank, although the sizzling July sky made this hardly credible.
The greatest shock was that the town crier, Phoebe, actually had NEWS! I believe that this may be the first I have heard Britain's unusually tight-lipped town crier have anything to say in my 2 years of sojouring on Siege.
*shakes head*
I am just glad I live in Zento!

P.S. was a lot of silly fun, and a good idea. Was great to see so many show up in their finest bankwear, and jump into the spirit of the event!
