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

[He's taking a look at those pants. They look...constricting. But then compared to what he's used to anything would, and they're probably not that bad. They might even be comfortable!]

I think I could try them. And hey, if they don't work out I can probably still make something out of them.

[The making clothes part of home still stuck a little, so don't mind him as he takes those pants--oh the material feels kind of nice.

But when something catches her eye, he'll just drape the pants over his arm and have a look.

... oh. Um.]
For you, I hope.

[ She picks up the minidress to get a better look at it before she registers Noel's comment. She laughs, slightly embarrassed. ] Sorry. I didn't really intend to shop for myself, anyway.

[ The embarrassment fades and in its place is a hint of mischievousness. Obviously she picked the funny Live Trigger response. ]

But you never know, Noel, maybe it'd show off your figure.

Nothing wrong with shopping for yourself while you're here.

[Oh he knows that look--but still he didn't expect what she said next. It's a moment before the surprise fades. But the best way to get back in step with Serah like before is to go with it. And that's something he thinks he can do.]

You think so? [He steps a bit closer to close his hands around the sides of the minidress' midsection, giving a gentle tug to the fabric.] I don't think it would fit me. I think you might have to find a thinner guy.

[But does he dare suggest one?] How about Hope? [Yes. Yes he does.]
