Disturbance in the market

[dragonsylph]

Aiko becomes aware of a growing crowd at the center market of town. She can see the edge of it form her position a few blocks away. It seems that a couple hundred players at least have gathered, and while she can't make out the tone of it yet, the volume of the gathering is rising from a low murmur to a moderate hubbub.

The clock on her HUD reads 1:04pm EST. Clearly she'll never need to wear a watch again.
