Nexus Spring Market Fair
Seemingly overnight, one of the grassy areas edging the Forum has been taken over by a spring market and fair. Part state fair, part craft fair, part Renaissance faire, there are attractions for all comers. Tents and booths of every size, shape, and color are lined up more or less tidily, sometimes with wide avenues between them and sometimes with paths skinny enough to crowd a single person. Goods and treats from the far-flung corners of infinity are on display. The general organization has magic and alchemical goods grouped together and slightly separated from the other tents; arts and crafts fill the area around it. Goods such as clothes and jewelry, plants, and vintage and antique items are in the back. Food is front and center, between the entrance and the rides. This is perhaps not an ideal placement.
To one side is a brightly-lit collection of rides and games familiar to anyone who's been to a state fair. A ferris wheel, flying swings, and all manner of reasons to regret that last funnel cake are blaring tinny music and sporting blinking lights. Remember: rides first, then eat. Classic games that test strength, agility, and luck offer plush prizes sure to delight anyone until the fur rubs off. There are also some animal rides near the exit.
In the back of the roughly-fenced-in area are the exhibits. There's a petting zoo with creatures mundane and more exotic, all promised to be tame; practical demonstrations of new magical and technological wonders; a juried art show; and a stage hosting a variety of performers changing on the hour.
((This is an open event. If your character wants to have a booth selling wares or food, set one up. If your character wants to perform or provide other services, go for it! Please note what sort of service you're providing, if any, in the subject line of your top-level comment. Basically, just run with it and have fun!

"I hope it's something you can enjoy, when it comes," Schön replies.
"A fine pastime in its own right, that. I admit to looking forward to seeing your work, whenever I might have the chance."
no subject
Hunter smiles, reaching forward to place his hand on Schön's arm. "Of course, when you are not occupied with your business."
no subject
"I'm delighted to hear it. I believe I have a visit to your demesne coming up, if I recall correctly." Of course he recalls correctly. He's not the sort to forget a promise.

"When it comes to snacks for the TV show marathon, are you more of a sweet tooth? Or salty? Or both?"
no subject
"I like a variety," Schön admits. "A little salt, a little sweet--a mellow cheese might pair well with wine." Wine and cheese for binging Netflix--that's classy!

Hunter moves his hand to touch Schön's face, with another smile. "I hope you have a successful evening."
no subject
Schön's expression registers mild surprise at the touch. "Feeling bold today, are we?"
no subject
Hunter pauses for a moment, reflecting on his evening so far. "I will reflect on everything I learned tonight, and what I saw under the influence of your potion. And I am sure it will have a lasting effect, even long after the potion is no longer in my system."
no subject
"A lesson learned?" Schön smiles. "The surest sign of an adventure. I shall wish you well, in all your reflections."

"Not in itself, no," he answers gently. "I do not know many people who would casually touch another's face in public. I find no fault with it, I am merely surprised."
no subject
"When it comes to people I care about, I am very casual about gestures of affection." Of course, that was apparent with how Hunter acted around Verity.
"And I consider you one of those people."
no subject
"I admit, I am not usually so tactile in my own displays of fondness, but I find no fault in those who are. You have given no offense, Hunter, I assure you."
no subject
"Thank you for the experience. I hope you enjoy the rest of your night."
no subject
"You are quite welcome, Hunter, and I hope the same for you. Thank you again, for all you've done." With a smile, Schön tips his hat in farewell.
