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

[It really was a good bag.] It's better crafted then my back pack back home, so I might need to find where you got yours. I didn't think about what to hold everything in...

Not that I found anything yet, but I really just like looking at all of the things here. They're pretty cool, you know? You can't find most of this stuff, even on the corner of New York. [But they could be pushy with that.] I'm not really great with poetry. I was looking more for something a little different.

[Comic books. He was looking for comic books. But that thought fell away when he heard that name. Uh. He'd never actually met Professor Charles Xavier in person, but he was definitely sure that he didn't look like this. Or maybe he did when he was young? Oh, this was weird.

He took his hand and gave it a shake. Oh my god he was shaking Charles Xavier's hand. Oh my god. He might never wash his hand again.]


No, we. Um. We've never met before, but I... I've heard of you before. Back home, I've heard of you before. [So eloquent, Billy.]

I'm Billy Kaplan. It's really nice-- great, it's really great to meet you! [Almost added sir to that, he almost did.]

Actually I purchased this bag over ... [he has to take a moment to orient himself and then pointed down a street.] at a vendor down that street. They were set up next to one of the larger book vendors, quite lucky for me.

[Sorry Billy, comic books were unlikely to be on the kedan reading roster but so long as you're having a good time window shopping!

At the revelation that Billy, like quite a few others, knows more about Charles than Charles does about him, his smile softens into something meant to be friendly.]


I imagine the Charles Xavier you've heard about is a bit older than myself and has less hair? [Also, wheelchair bound but Charles tries not to dwell on that, even with the chair Ororo had procured for him sitting in his small suite.]

I've had the pleasure of meeting a few people for whom this is the case. I am sorry that I must inform you that my own experience is only just beginning back in my world, I have not even officially founded the Institute yet.

That said, it is a pleasure to meet you, Billy. Would I be safe in the assumption that if you've heard of me and are not cursing me roundly to my face, that you are also a mutant?

[He checked where they were, just for reference. They really weren't around, Billy was learning, which was disappointing (but made more exciting when they eventually did show up). Maybe he'd have to report back to Miles about finding a lack of them. Now all they needed to find was an artist.]

Um...well, yeah. Like I said, I've never met him-- you, in person, but I know all about you! Him. This is a little weird, sorry. [He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.]

You haven't yet? That's... wow! That's so cool! You're just starting out, like everyone else is. Like all the kids like me, we're just figuring things out, but we have the school to fall back on if things... if things get really bad. [Being with the school... this was so cool. A time traveling Professor X!]

What? Oh! Um, yeah, I am. Kind of new to it, honestly, I'm still learning how to use them... [He frowns, looking down. He doesn't want to admit what he's done recently, that had the Avengers so worried.]
excessivehubris: (B&W are you kidding me?)

[Billy's struggle with how to address him had Charles smiling gently and eventually holding up a hand.]

Alright, first things first I believe. I believe it would be prudent for you to think of the Charles Xavier you know as someone very different from myself. First, I believe you know a future and much older version of me so I will hope I've learned some lessons over the years.

Second, there is evidence that my personal timeline is significantly different from the timeline of other mutants I've met so I may not be the Charles Xavier you will come to hear about.

[That out of the way, his smile softened as he responded to Billy's last words and his frown.]

'Them' ... your powers? Would you be willing to tell me what they are?

[He may be a very different man but there were still some core similarities; starting with the need to help others learn about themselves.]
witchnotwarlock: (hey now hey now)

Okay. Sorry, it's just not every day that you meet... yeah. And you might be an alternate universe one versus an alternate timeline, so that makes more sense. [Definitely not his first go-around with these kind of things. Just he hasn't been through all of the craziness awaiting him, but at least he didn't have to worry about disappearing with this one.

He wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Hopefully. Billy gave a small smile.]


Yeah, of course. I can do magic. [Which should explain everything, and kind of doesn't, so he adds in the next as well:] I make things happen by wishing really hard.

[...Which also doesn't really help, either.]
