I think it's a one-and-done thing ...well, until the Night Market reappears and you can choose a different faction.
I think you can only do it once, but I also had a problem with the crown store version on my first character. I picked the quest up from there and it told me to talk to the Curator in Fargrave (who had apparently already contacted me, I assume that's the step I skipped by not finding the quest in the world) and then got stuck in a loop.
After I talked to the Curator (between the Nightmarket entrance and the wayshrine) the quest still said to talk to him and none of his dialogue options progressed it. At that point someone told me to abandon the quest, which I did, and I was able to immediately pick it up again by talking to him, and that version progressed to the next steps.

I did get stuck with him at first because I missed the "talk to others" part, even after repeating the dialog. Do look on the map for markers if that its you.
My OP question here was due to picking it up in the Crown Store on a 2nd character. I just dropped it and it seems to be working fine.
