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

[His hand goes up to his mouth for a moment, an anxious little gesture as he tries to get a hold of himself, tries to think. He isn't naive enough to think that Kaldur won't notice that he's holding something back, that this is affecting him not because of Orm, but because of something else.]

In my world, Ocean Master is Orm, and Orm is- he's insane. Unstable. He's always wanted my throne, my life. I know yours must be different in some ways, my brother can't breathe water without his magic, but...

You can't let Orin do anything that might risk the baby. Promise me you'll look out for that child.

[The baby. The future crown prince or princess, heir to the throne. If Arthur truly fears for him, then does that mean that Orm could possible have...?

Kaldur feels ill at the thought of what may have become of Arthur and Mera's child. He wouldn't speak this way if Garth was their only son. There would not be such loss in his voice.]


I swear to you that nothing will happen to the child. I will guard them with my life. I am sworn to the royal family, and if I am not a man of my words and my oaths, then I am nothing.

[He could never let anything happen to his future King or Queen.] I apologize Arthur, I did not mean to upset you so.

[There's nothing he can do. All he can do is trust Kaldur and hope that he'll return and keep an eye on Orm and not let anything near his world's Mera and the child. Still, the thought that it could ever happen again, to another version of him and his wife... It's frustrating and it hurts, but it isn't Kaldur's fault if he's been misled. Or if Orm really is okay as long as he's Prince of Atlantis (but if the baby is coming, he won't be Prince for long, and he can't imagine Orm taking that well)...]

No, it- it isn't your fault. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted so strongly. But it's as hard for me to imagine Orm being a good person as it is for you to imagine him as the man who kidnapped my son once.

[He still regrets bringing it up now. He feels as if he has ruined their outing, tainted what had been a simple and pleasant day for them.]

Our worlds are different in ways we are still learning, so I should have taken better care with my words. I truly do not doubt you. You must have endured terribly with his betrayal. [But he also does not doubt Orm. Still the question has been planted and he knows it will not fade easily.]

[He doesn't see it that way at all, really. Sure, it's dredged up some bad memories (the worst memories, the most painful), and he'll probably dwell on it a little more later tonight, in his and Mera's bedroom pool, after he's cleaned out all the bugs Bruce has no doubt left since the last ones were destroyed, but he doesn't want to let it ruin a day out with Kaldur. At least he's getting himself under control now.]

No, you don't have to do that around me, Kaldur. I want you to be able to say whatever you want. [His slight laugh is humorless.] You can't betray what you were never loyal to. I'm sorry, my brother and Manta are just... sore subjects. We have a lot of history, and none of it is good.
