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

[The handshake is politician practiced: firm without being testing or harsh.] Not at all. It is always a pleasure to meet people here.

[And study which of them to trust, adds that cynical voice at the back of his head. He quiets it.]

There’s a lot to learn.

[There could be something about great minds said here, though if Lex knew he’d brush it off by thinking any creeping suspicion was only natural. After all, half of the people aren’t even human. What’s there to trust, then? But the handshake brings some sense of peace, at least, the repulsive familiarity of training. He mimics Richard’s grip almost entirely before letting his hand fall to his side again. Not following, he says to himself. He’s emphasizing. Everything’s a test.]

[Then he’s friendly, casual once more.]
Though I’ll admit, these markets remind me more of home than the fact I’m sharing living space with extraterrestrials.

[Richard chuckles, neglecting to mention those seven odd years he spent sharing mindspace with an extraterrestrial.] Alien cohabiters are a little more unusual than open markets on Ephinea as well. [As in there are exactly two.] In this case, however, it seems we have to consider ourselves the extraterrestrials.
