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

[He takes his time answering, looking over the different pelts.] All three of my brothers, a younger version of me... does he count as a brother?

[Dick picks one up, inspecting it.] And my... [His voice trails off a second, before he smiles. Not a big smile, not a grin. Just a soft, sincere one, for his own sake.]

And my father. He's here, too.

Oh. I didn't realize there were other.. circus people here. [She succeeds in not sounding as judgmental as she feels about that, but her face still holds the kind of small and even smile that can only be a professional facade. The sincerity has faded from her expression now that he's not being ridiculous.]

Well, good luck avoiding them, I guess.

[He rummages for the appropriate amount of money for the pelt, handing it over.] I never said that they worked at a circus.

[Dick grins.] But hey, thanks! You can't ever have too much luck. It was nice to meet you, Hayley. Who knows, I might even get to see you again... not selling tribble things.

[She wants to pursue that, to ask about his family and the circus and everything, but Dick clearly does have other places to be and there will always be other opportunities. Besides, maybe it will be easier to watch for them if he doesn't know she's looking.]

Definitely. [Hayley grins.] You're too entertaining not to.

With that remark, I have to say thank you. [He gives a little bow.] And now, because it's super dramatic right now, I'll bid you a fond adieu, and leave the scene of what could have possibly been embarrassing.

[He grins.] But it was fun. See ya! [And for show, he continues to back up with his eyes on her. And then turns right before he hits something, because that would just be embarrassing.]
