Event | Yard Sale!

Characters: Come one, come all!
Date: July 21st - July 27th
Location: The City of Keeliai
Situation: The rationing is officially lifted and the kedan are celebrating by conducting one citywide yard sale! Think big! Think small! Think tribbles! Think all!
Warnings/Rating: Tribbles. Lots of tribbles. Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

The morning of the 21st kicks off with heralds roving about the city of Keeliai to declare that the rationing edict has been lifted and that citizens no longer have to contribute one-fifth of their productions (juulan or physical goods) to the communal stores maintained by the police force. These announcements trigger a state of celebration across the city as kedan drag months worth of hoarded items to the street to sell, steal, or trade in a wave of mercantile goodness that stretches for nearly a week. Not even the rising tide of tribbles seems to dampen their spirit, with kedan citywide finding new and inventive uses for the fuzzy paperweights.

Characters are free to do as they will during this event, with police oversight relaxed in the aftermath of the long rationing and strained relations. Impromptu sales out of suites will rarely be inspected and purchase made elsewhere are no longer monitored. Everyone is taking a breath of fresh air, so to speak, and most do not want their first fun in months to be ruined.

OOC: See the OOC announcement for details and this post for subheaders in which you may wreak havoc celebrate the lifting of the rationing. Feel free to start your own thread header if you like! <3

raptorcanaria: (she amuses me)

Yeah.

[She leans over further, squinting at one of them.]

How long until there's one in every home, you think?

[Although the idea of one of these in his home is too terrifying to really contemplate.]
andaway: ([Wait] I feel something so wrong)

[The expression on Kal's face makes it very clear that yes, it's a really terrifying thought indeed.]

Over my dead body. [And then a little more hushed:] I've played dress up with them enough for at least three eternities.
raptorcanaria: (think I wanna marry you)

[She places one finger over her lips, not to hush him, but to try and apologize for the smirk that's rising. Then she reaches into her purse and pulls out a tiny little Green Arrow hat.]

I've been carrying this around with me ever since.
andaway: ([Ouch] That we could be)

[Lois is the one in their marriage with the facepalming rights but for once, Clark makes a exception and lets his face make acquaintances with his palm.]

You would. You totally would. Not even the slightest bit surprised over here.
raptorcanaria: (they totally cyber did it)

[personal profile] raptorcanaria 2013-08-15 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laughing, she forms a fist with the hat on her first knuckle, folding her thumb around to bend an mimic a mouth.]

Grumble grumble fascists poverty Keven Costner is a travesty blah.

I think it needs a little goatee, personally.
andaway: ([Whistle])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-08-18 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He covers his mouth, trying not to laugh and utterly failing] You really shouldn't be having as much fun with this.

But I'm glad someone is taking the situation with humor.
raptorcanaria: (are you okay?)

[personal profile] raptorcanaria 2013-08-18 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her smile freezes for a second, then softens, and she puts the hat back in her bag, nudging with her elbow when she's done so.]

I'm going to take as much of this situation with humor as I can.

[If she stops to think about the man she's really mocking with that hat, she'll never get through this.]
andaway: ([Uh oh])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-08-20 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hey. [This is why it's hard to actually have down time with fellow superheroes. You never know when you're going to step on a land-mine. He (gently) returns the nudge, his expression a little more worried now.]

Did I say something wrong?
raptorcanaria: (think I wanna marry you)

[personal profile] raptorcanaria 2013-08-20 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [Her smile returns, brightly.] I just miss that jerkface, that's all.
andaway: ([Look around])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-08-22 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clark does smile back at her, but his is tainted with a bit of melancholy.] I'm sorry. I got extremely lucky, Lois got here just a month after I did.
raptorcanaria: (they totally cyber did it)

[personal profile] raptorcanaria 2013-08-23 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
She probably knew she couldn't trust you to stay out of trouble without her.
andaway: (I'll track you down girl)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-08-24 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[A little chuckle] I'm pretty sure she's the one getting in trouble every single time I turn my back on her.
