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 maywreak havoc celebrate the lifting of the rationing. Feel free to start your own thread header if you like! <3

[I'll do that, then.]
Where to?
no subject
She gestures down the street and begins walking. ]
This way. There's a shop down here that has a book I've been considering buying for some time. It's the most recent version of a collection of poetry centered around one of the civil wars.
no subject
[Yes, yes she does.]
Poetry is a good source of information, even if slower than direct eyewitness accounts.
[There is a lot to learn from poetry that people who write direct accounts never bother to imply.]
no subject
[ Besides, she's discovered that her ability to analyse poetry is not as strong as she would like it to be. Theory is fine, but she lacks some creativity in practice and that makes the process somewhat frustrating at times. Not that she'll ever admit. ]
no subject
Poetry does not strive for factuality of... facts. Only impressions and reactions. It is what is implied that is valuable, there, from the point of view of cultural analysis.
no subject
[ Said as if she's talking about something she has no involvement in. That's how she views herself: human but separated from humanity. And then she seems to see something that catches her interest and she moves to the side of the street where an old man sits among piles of books. She exchanges a few lines with him and then moves away again, continuing the same way as before. ]
He's been trying to track down a mathematics book for me, so I check in occasionally to see if he's found it. [ Which he clearly hadn't. ]
no subject
Somehow, I do not think mathematics will be different between here and your world of origin. Going by the technology, probably slightly backwards.
[He's just saying!]
no subject
[ She likes math, okay? She'd pick math over pretty much anything else. ]
no subject
That information may not be possible to find, here. It has been said that the kedan have also been brought to Tu Vishan, as we were.
They probably brought their knowledge, but possibly not its history.
no subject
Yes, I believe much of the history has been lost, but I am hopeful that not all of it has. Beside that, there is the time since their arrival. I believe that will be easier to find.
no subject
It is likely that not much has been discovered, since then. Sadly, my information about that is unreliable.
no subject
[ She loves following the timeline of memories for the discovery of math. It's fascinating seeing how those people drew closer and closer to their discoveries before finally breaking through. ]
no subject
Maybe. But it is rather rare. Almost too rare.
no subject
[ His emphasis was curious. ]
no subject
And they are not. Progressing.
no subject
[ It was possible. But she didn't care that much, her response was more of a thought on the subject than any sort of motivated curiosity. ]
no subject
Though, outside the gangs, they only seem... content.
[ He doesn't get how, but there it is. ]
no subject
no subject
And, yet, here we are.
no subject
no subject
There are... theories that the kedan may be the first to be brought here. The dead on the mainland on the first landfall were certainly not kedan, at least.
But they could not defend this place from the threat.
So, in a way, because they failed, we are here.
Should that theory be correct, of course.
