The Bazaar

Description xxxxxThis was once a Flushing office building that rented to startups, rapid growth industries, and fly-by-night operations who don't want any questions asked. Since the first zombie outbreak, it has lain largely empty, and as of late it has been converted into an immense indoor marketplace. The lobbies are packed with food vendors and the hallways lined with kiosks selling a dizzying variety of goods, flea-market fashion. Various offices are given over to groups of merchants selling similar wares: one dedicated to books, another to computer components, and a rather popular one selling (perfectly legal) weapons...at least during the day. Rumor has it that the Bazaar's night market is becoming the go-to place for trade in illicit goods. But night or day, the place is bustling with activity, noisy and raucous commerce in many languages (though predominantly Mandarin and Spanish). Chances are, you can find anything your heart desires here...if you're willing to pay the price. Employees Wong Xiao (NPC): Middle-aged Chinese woman, a friendly but uncompromising purveyor of high-end tech components. She is extremely well-connected in the Chinese immigrant community and makes sure law enforcement leaves the Bazaar alone for the most part. Cato Lane (NPC): Large, soft-spoken black man in his mid-30's, deals in rare and out-of-print books. Speaks many languages and often called upon to settle minor disputes between Bazaar merchants or customers. Reasonably well-known in the local pagan community as a ceremonial magician. Hyacinthe (NPC): Skinny brown Frenchman with striking hazel eyes, runs an antique shop that straddles the day and night sides of the Bazaar. He sells plenty of legitimiately acquired antiquities as well as much more expensive stolen ones. He's also an excellent forger. Notes & Trivia xxxxxOther details about the location that might be pertinent to people's interests go here. (e.g.; are they lax about carding kids? Do they have secret back-room gambling on Friday nights? Is their service terrible? Are they where all the criminals hang out?)
