Josiane, Ulric and Highbough; The Concourse Lobby
Very well.
Josiane takes up a position in the Lobby near to the concierge's desk to wait, while Ulric and Highbough head toward the main audience chamber, where the merchants and their aides are milling like flies over fresh dung.
A set of enormous double door are thrown wide open so that the boisterous crowd can access an amphitheatre beyond, which the pair can scarcely glimpse through the thick crowd.
The merchant folk are Men and Snorks in equal numbers, and all are richly dressed in finely cut trousers, shirts, striped waist-coats with shiny buttons, neck ties, glossy black shoes, and capes and tall hats. Half of them seems to carry walking canes, or eye glasses, or great ledgers of scroll and papers, and all are debating hotly with one another about some unfathomable matter...
...the general movement of the throng is into the amphitheatre, though as they get nearer Ulric and Highbough attract various disdainful glances, and both become acutely aware that they are magnificently under-dressed for whatever this occasion might be.
At the entry way they now see that there are a pair of regally dressed guardsmen and a scribe checking the names of those who enter off a great scroll. The pair of guards already seem to have identified them as potential trouble makers...
