Black Kiddilion - The Beginning of the End

Who: Okuyasu and anyone willing to sacrifice it all for those sweet deals
When: November 24th-27th
Where: Kiddilion
What: Everyone meets up outside of the city's tunnels, then attempts to partake in the sales. Things don't go well.
Warnings/Notes: This is a Mingle Log, so everyone puts up a toplevel based on the prompts.

A. The Meetup

Sunrise on the 24th. Okuyasu has an old coat he bought at a second-hand store (which he plans to replace with something that hasn't lost the stuffing or is coming loose - it's a treat for himself, especially since his new home is kinda cold) and a fabric bag stuffed with other fabric bags.

He had expected many other shoppers waiting outside for the stores to open, but not...

"How are we gonna fit all inside?"

B. The Shopping

They were not kidding about the sales. They weren't kidding about the crowds, either. No matter the store, the lines are an hour long, more for the bigger departments. Be careful that you don't step on anyone's toes and start a fight - a magic-powered fight would be terrible indoors, and that's not to say that you'd be arrested and banned from the city.

Thankfully, some merchants have set up food and drink stalls for the tired shoppers at extortionist prices. The pop-up motels are great, but who wants to sleep when they can get better places in the line?

C. Secrets

You aren't supposed to explore the city outside of the designated shopping areas. You'd get lost, they say...unless you're a Geomancer or Black Mage. Either way, you have slipped away from the crowd and found some hidden tunnels. Some of them are innocuous - hording locations for treasure and consumer products. Some of them have cloaked Black Mages attempting a dark magic ritual they read about in a popular Dark Arts Mog Blog.

Sometimes, you might run into the other Black Kiddilion. The one claiming to sell legitimate Hamster Pelts, unknown concoctions made by local Chemists, and cheap items that are totally not knock-offs. What, of course this sword is made of solid steel!

D. Wild Card

((add anything prompt you want!))

a. dawn of disaster

This was absolutely a mistake. Tidus looked at the crowd doubtfully, re-adjusting his pack on his shoulder.

"To save money, I guess...? But I"m thinking we should just back out and come back another time. This looks like it might be...y'know. Lethal."

c. secrets

It was easy to take a wrong turn when you were weighed down by several bags. Tidus stumbled into the dark, finding himself in a tunnel of mismatched shoes. He crouched to look at them, narrowing his eyes.

"Think I might've gotten off on the wrong foot here."

"Pretty sure those particular shoes are overhyped," he laughed. "But I guess it's something I've never done before? Back home, I was always going out at odd hours, trying to avoid getting mauled by fans. But looks like you don't even have to be famous to get mauled here...eheh..."

And that was concerning. "Uh, I've got the first aid kit though."

"I don't think they could squeeze a stretcher in there, so it better not get too serious. Maybe it'd be better to stick together, and set up a signal in case something happens?"

Given his luck lately, he could totally see this being a tragedy, somehow.

"Yeah, and I'm pretty good at poofing in and out of places. Might have to run on the ceiling at some point..."

He just laughed. "I could find you that way if I had to."
