Chapter 4. Attitudes, Behavior, and Persuasion

“Market Day! Market Day! Bring your Wares and Come this Way! Make a Sale, Food and Ale! Treasure, Yours within our Stores! Come and Play! it’s Market Day!”

You wake to the sound of the Market Day Song on the warm and sunny breeze drifting in through your window.  The call drifts up and down the mountain, amplified by cleverly placed speakers.

You have settled into your new home in MontAerie and memories of your past life are like memories of a fading dream.  You have a job, friends, a purpose. You are secure in yourself and your place in MontAerie society.  You look forward to the rituals of daily life here, like the weekly market Day!

On Market Day you can get nearly anything your heart desires here… and probably things you didn’t even know you wanted! However, you also need to take care. There is so much for sale here, it is possible to become lost in the many alley ways between the market stalls that seem to spring up overnight. On several occasion, you seemed doomed to wander forever – unable to decide what to buy. Also, the merchants are experts at persuasion and you could also find yourself going home with 15 different charms to ward off all sorts of bad luck – totally useless!

Best to know what you want and how you feel about the wares on offer here.  Perhaps we should pause before we enter and talk a bit about attitudes, behavior, and persuasion.
