OPEN: get in the car we're going shopping

Date & Time: 8/21-8/23 daytime
Location: Outside a civilian residential apt building
Characters: BIG SPENDERS or anyone really just tag your butts in and go to town
Summary: Yard saaaale. In the street. Because what is a yard in the future.
Warnings: Blood spilled over ShamWow??


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...!


REFERENCE: Stuff for sale

A tall feat to ask of anyone...

[Alice presses her hand against Blinky's bowl.

She really does hope someone will take him in. It shouldn't matter that he's... different.]


But certainly not impossible.

[ Apparently, not even fighting witches and familiars can prepare someone for the wonders of future yard sales. ]

Right! [ Blinky Sayaka is trying to be nice to you, must you keep unnerving her with that slow weirdass blink of yours. Cue nervous laughter. ] ... They'd have to be able to deal with that, though.

[ Does any such person even exist? ]

[ They better! She sure as heck isn't going to take care of the guy, sympathetic as she might feel towards him.]

Perhaps it could be an squired taste, or he could be trained to... do it properly.

[ That's... not a bad idea, though Sayaka looks a little doubtful. ]

Do you think that's even possible? I've never seen anything with three eyes before, so maybe he has to blink like that. [ But three eyed things are so common, she clearly has just been living under a rock. ]

I don't see how it would force him to such a habit.

Having one extra eye shouldn't prevent him learning such a simple task.

[Meanwhile, Alice has seen... quite a bit.

then again what does she know about 3-eyed fishes.]
