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

Okay that's it you're getting a hobby.

[Might as well start with the obvious.] Does the idea of drawing make you want to kill a kitten--and is that a good thing in your particular brand of crazy? [...Colby isn't actually sure he wants to know.]

[She blinks at him a couple of times. How is she the crazy one in this conversation?]

No, I am not driven to kill by the idea of drawing. I would be willing to try it.
fdaterminator: (A-ok)

[personal profile] fdaterminator 2013-08-20 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Given the sheer number of times she's discussed killing things in this short conversation alone that was a very valid question!]

Good. Now... [Looks back at the art supplies.] I'm back to the problem of what kind of stuff to buy.
saved7: (wait what?)

[personal profile] saved7 2013-08-20 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, maybe he has a point. Except about the kittens. Anyway, now she's got a vested interest in buying things.]

There are books here that are for drawing, I think.
fdaterminator: (Your idea sucks)

[personal profile] fdaterminator 2013-08-20 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah but I don't want anything too fancy. No reason to waste all of my money, even if the tribble business is booming [Pats his messenger bag.]

[He looks around for a bit longer, finally settling on a decent but cheap sketchpad and a set of colored pencils.]
saved7: (no listen to me)

[personal profile] saved7 2013-08-20 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I should buy one for myself.

[If she's going to attempt this hobby thing, really. Miria reaches for the purse at her belt - she doesn't eat so really the money's of no use to her.]
fdaterminator: (Have a drink)

[personal profile] fdaterminator 2013-08-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
That'd be a good start. [Doesn't make an effort to try to pay for her things too--maybe if he was trying to get you into bed.]

Have you ever drawn at all?
saved7: (suspicious of you)

[personal profile] saved7 2013-08-21 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. No. If you think she's scary when she's clothed...]

No.
fdaterminator: (She said whaaaaaaaa?)

[personal profile] fdaterminator 2013-08-22 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah he has no plans to find out.]

Do you understand the concept? [Hey, he's trying to figure out what he has to work with here.]
saved7: (reminiscing)

[personal profile] saved7 2013-08-22 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Amused:]I do. We have art on my world. Usually religious in form. I just never tried to create any myself.
fdaterminator: (Squint)

[personal profile] fdaterminator 2013-08-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Juuuuuuuuuust checking. You're a full of surprises, so how the hell should I know?

And I have told you I'm not an arteest, right?
saved7: (okay I will explain)

[personal profile] saved7 2013-08-27 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You mentioned it.

We'll have to learn together.
fdaterminator: (Any questions?)

[personal profile] fdaterminator 2013-08-30 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Snorts.] Guess so. John Colby, by the way. I don't think I ever introduced myself.
saved7: (reminiscing)

[personal profile] saved7 2013-09-03 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Miria.

[Or did he know that? Miria's heard people give pairs of names on the network, and usually people pick one as an address.]

Should I call you John? Or Colby?
fdaterminator: (Morning coffee)

[personal profile] fdaterminator 2013-09-09 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Whichever you prefer. I've got no preference.
