What had begun as the idea of two became the realization of at least seven — all landlord approved and with nods of approval from neighboring apartment buildings. It didn't even take up a full block, but it was full enough to attract attention of passers-by on the morning hustle to work, saddling them up with something worth spreading to others along the grapevine throughout the day.

Mostly clothes and household items easily given up, but here and there a few gems. A would-be Initiative member had no need for old board games or a guitar or two, and there would be no time to take care of a pet, even one so curious and darling as Blinky. Now and then, its soon-to-be-ex-owner cast a sorrowful glance its way, only to get a slow, out-of-synch blink in response.

Oh, Blinky.

Parting woes aside, business wasn't bad! With the shabby state of affairs in Exsilium, the chance for something new, even a hand-me-down, always sparked interest. And with so many strange, new recruits, there was bound to be someone curious enough to drop down the cash for the most absorbent fabric ever made (those Germans made good stuff)...

And so, after the work buses left the area, the tables went up and the wares were put out until the workday would come to a close and force the tables out of the street. Someone was bound to score something worthwhile in that time over those three days...!

[She looks over at the stranger, doing a double-take as she did so. Anora had seen these wheeled contraptions being used in public on occasion (and saw signs with symbols resembling them on various doorways), so the initial culture shock had worn off some time ago.

Nevertheless, it still took her by surprise, but she makes nothing of it, instead raising her eyebrow.

Not these abominations.

[She tossed another pair of shorts off to the side sob booty shorts.

"Decent looking sweats" catch her off-guard for she still is not entirely accustomed to the names of certain articles of clothing.

...I certainly hope you are not talking about actual sweat.

[ Collette finds herself laughing at the idea, covering her mouth with her hands. ]

No! No way, that's just crazy! How gross would wearing other people's sweat be? Sweatpants are loose, softer material pants that are perfect for wearing just about anywhere. See, look at the stuff on that table!

[ She points to a flimsy card table a few feet away. ]
