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.

Aiko turned her head in the direction of the crowd, her ears flicking all about her, and then decided to follow the direction of the crowd. For a moment she wished that she was playing one of her more dexterous characters, because then she might be able to take to the rooftops, but failing that she'd settle for joining the crowd itself. Her ears flickered all about her to try and take in what was happening, and it startled her when she realized that she could actually make out far more in terms of sound now. Directions, volume, it was all easier to discern, especially for someone who had chronically bad hearing.

"I'll have to work on that more later," she murmured thoughtfully, and then turned both ears forward to see if she could use that lovely new hearing to figure out what was going on.
