🌙 What is a Night Market?
A Night Market is a pop-up bazaar of the Time of the Red. It appears in a warehouse, a shipping container park, or an abandoned subway station for a single night (or maybe a weekend) and then vanishes.
It is the only place where you can reliably purchase items of Expensive (500eb) or Very Expensive (1,000eb) quality without a specific connection.
Atmosphere
- Sights: Neon lights strung over rusting shipping containers, hologram advertisements flickering in the rain, techies soldering custom boards on folding tables.
- Sounds: Thumping chromatic rock, the sizzle of street food, the rapid-fire slang of haggling fixers.
