Hi everyone :3 It's me again, and I decided to write something about Assassin's Creed. These are just things I've noticed in the game that are kind of odd, like how the stall merchants insist that their stock is fresh and everything you'd ever need. I checked, and the guy had some rugs and pots... then he went off saying something else, but something distracted me :S anyway, I'll be posting some more later when I think of 'em. Already have an idea involving the Dome of Rock ;)
Disclaimer: I do not, in fact, own Assassin's Creed. If I did, it'd be horrible and everyone would hate it. Which is why I don't own it. :D

"Yes, yes, everything is very fresh! Come and buy some of my stock!" babbled the owner of a rickety wooden stall in the market outside of Damascus, framed by the thin sticks holding up a thin roof, and the back of the shop a simple orange blanket that swung back and forth, tattered edges brushing in the dirt behind the stall. Several people had stopped outside of the stall, watching the man with interest, though none of them seemed that interested in the objects that were for sale.
"Come and see what I have to offer! Ah, yes, I like a customer that knows what he wants!" the merchant trilled to his crowd, speaking to some invisible being that was willing to spend coins on his crappy, ridiculously expensive and pointless stock. The crowd, without any warning and no clear sign as to why they did so, turned as one and walked off, splitting into individuals but still just wandering about mindlessly. Not that the merchant minded. He continued to speak to the invisible person, in love with the sound of his own voice.
"I must have gone mad! Everything is cheap today, come and buy something!"
The sun rose and sank during the day, though night never did seem to come, and the merchant didn't move from the spot, announcing that his stock was 'fresh', 'cheap' and that he had everything the buyer needed. There was something wrong, though; he claimed his stock was fresh, like fruit or fish that could have gone off on the trip to his shop. His stall was actually full of pots and some rugs off to the side. This didn't discourage the merchant from attempting to sell his fresh pots and rugs to the invisible people that cared about them.
A white blur was coming to the miniature market, a man in greyish robes and bearing a red sash around his stomach. He was armed to the teeth, which had apparently caught the attention of those running behind him, and there were about fifteen guards shouting their heads off as they stampeded after the unfortunate assassin. The man looked around desperately, still pounding down the dirt road as fast as he could go, and angled his trajectory towards the same stall occupied by a mindless, inexhaustible merchant that even now shouted that his rugs and pots were all that you would ever need.
With a great leap and with his hands brought together in flight, the Assassin dove through the stall, somehow missing the merchant but still smashing every pot and breakable object that was inside of the rickety wooden structure. The man gasped and stood still, watching the man run off again, and the fifteen guards attempted to jump through the stall as well, for reasons unknown to those watching. Unfortunately the shop was not built for people jumping through it, and the guards that jumped at the same time were crushed under the stall, which also killed the merchant instantly.
Everything was quiet for a while, the crowd watching or at least facing the same direction as the dead bodies, and no-one noticed when the four guards protecting the gates fell dead from throwing knives; they weren't important. Eventually they ignored the crushed stall, turning back to do whatever it was normal people do all day, and the other merchants struck up their salesman speeches once more enthusiastically.
"My stock is fresh! Come, come and see what I have to offer!"
