PLAZA DE LA
The centerpiece of downtown San Augustin is the Oldest City's own central park. Bordered by the Cathedral Basilica de San Augustin, Trinity Episcopal Church, and the Governor's House Museum, the Plaza faces the Bridge of Lions and features a pavilion used for city events and live entertainment. The public market, which has been in use since the 1500s, is host to the Night Market - which is a sort of a flea market and swap-meet organized by the city's homeless population. Fish, vegetables, and a wide variety of questionable goods can be traded here.
Thanks to the Night Market and a steady stream of tourists coming and going at all hours, there are almost always mortals in the plaza - even in the wee hours of the morning, just before sun-up. There are no restrictions on feeding in the Plaza (or its surrounding businesses) so long as one respects the Masquerade.
Supporting Cast: Teens looking for a place to hang out, homeless market-goers and shopkeepers, tourists, dog owners drinking coffee and watching their pets.
Resonance(s): Phlegmatic.
Other Systems: Old postcards and letters may hold forgotten secrets, idiosyncratic books and magazines have informative paragraphs, trinkets might be talismans; and all these things can be found at the Night Market.
Characters can look for something significant amidst the junk (Resolve + Awareness, Difficulty 4) and apply their margin to the next Mental test, assuming they pay the stall operator $10 for the whatever-it-was. Scrounging tests at -1 Difficulty; Larceny tests in the plaza are at -2 Difficulty; but stealing from the Night Market is bad luck. Everyone says so.
