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

I don't sing either.

[ She tried. Once. It felt silly so she never did it again. ]

Is singing a universal thing?

[ Like. Universe, universal. ]

No, some species don't have vocal chords, or ears like you and I would understand it.

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

Dreaming is universal.

[ She considers that for a bit then nods. ]

Somehow, that seems right.

[They reach her house, and he pulls out a packet of hot chocolate, home-made mix. All girls - even magical constructs - love chocolate and he's going to make sure she doesn't say no to it.]

Here. For when you're reading.

[ She looks at the hot chocolate, at him for a few moments then takes it. ]

Thank you, that's very thoughtful.

[ There's even a hint of genuine appreciation in her voice. ]
imaginate: ([ion] no problemo)

[He will worm his way slowly into her heart!! Especially since she's maybe the only person besides Rose who understands having too much crammed into one's mind.]

Not a problem, ma'am. Where'd you like me to put these?

[ She'd call it "just enough" but it's close enough. As for the books, she points next to her door. One packet of hot chocolate does not an invite to her house make. ]

There is fine, thank you.

[Very carefully, he parks the trolley there, uncertain why she's suspicious. He's acted perfectly disarmingly, but. Ah well. Sometimes it didn't work.]

It'll disappear by itself once you're done sorting the books.

[ Never underestimate paranoia of someone who has lived for 5000 years (sort of). ]

Thank you. I will see you around.

[ Let's be real, she isn't taking an unknown magical thing into her house. So she picks up a few books off the cart and carries them inside. ]
