tuesday de

Hey folks! Bat here filling in for Don today.

So, scenario, it's fundraising time for the various charities that take care of people who are bound, dead and the children in Milliways. The solution, a rummage sale!

What sort of wares does your pup have to offer? Second hand articles? Crafted items? Baked goods (*waves at Sunshine*)?

Setup your table and tell everyone what your pups have for sale.

Cisco: Random, mostly harmless, inventions. The sorts of things he tinkered with on a whim (or to stave off boredom). Think infomercial stuff that's less cheap and more random.

Items include - a toaster oven that makes the perfect Toaster Strudel, a fedora with pop-out Gadget hands (just like Inspector Gadget), a microwave guaranteed to reheat pizza without the soggy rubber crust, a flashlight that also strobes and bumps music, sneakers with lifts (shut up, don't judge him), a screwdriver with heads that will change at the push of a button, a Groundhog Day alarm clock, and other miscellaneous oddities.

Barry: Lots of books on nerdy subjects like physics and chemistry. And clothes and shoes (ones not showing wear and tear or meltage from running), because he has a lot and thinning out his closet is probably a good idea, and it's for charity.

Logan: Less inclined to participate but, if prodded or maybe even just asked by Bar, he would throw a shabby table together. Cigars would be on it, since he's quit. Also knickknacks that aren't actually his. Like, I could see Logan going around the mansion and just dumping random bits into a box to hock. Small busts, books on whatever, candles and a clock, whatever is small and not nailed down.

Matt: Records, it's the only thing he'd really have on hand as Matt lives a pretty sparse life, so he doesn't have much to sell. So he'd flip through his vinyl collection and part with some of those.

Bill: His would be a more standard table, just whatever he can pick out from the house that might be of use to somebody else. Dishes and kitchen stuff, maybe a few flannel shirts. Tools he doesn't really use that often, an old lamp, a couple of fishing poles and a few bird houses he made himself.

This is a fascinating idea.

Cassian would use this an excuse to do some cooking, mainly savory snacks like homemade salsas and tortilla chips. I don't think he'd have a lot of things to give away as he tends to repair or wear things until he can't mend them anymore.

Quentin would buy donuts from the fancy donut store and bring those and maybe some things that he's not using anymore.

Charles would have a collection of books and he would convince the students he has to go through their things which would add to what's there.

Sameth would have smaller projects like versions of his mechanical soldier, probably some knives and take commissions.

Demeter would bake, lots of fresh bread as well as plants, mainly seedlings as well as bouquets of fresh flowers and fresh fruit and vegetables. Maybe even a few bottles of wine and olive oil.

I feel like Moist would use this rummage sale in not the way its meant to be done by either selling small things he's stolen and maybe artistic efforts. Like early drafts of maps he's used to convince people to give him money.

Wei Wuxian: Talismans for every-day use - keep your tea warm, protection from spirits, clothes-drying, that sort of thing. More static, don't-need-constant-feeding talismans. He also has a selection of Genuine Yiling Patriarch items he's bought and/or stole from various conmen in various towns, because he finds them hilarious.

Klaus: ........ I mean, he's just here to provide color commentary.

Cecil: Girl scout cookies. Look, his niece needs help and he can't have an apartment full of cookies it's a problem, take some cookies.

Jon: ..................... Tape recorders. No matter where he goes, one seems to appear, so he has quite a collection at this point.

Yamato would probably set himself up with a grill and cook food for people, possibly using a mix of Earth and Digital World ingredients. Maybe not quite in the spirit of a rummage sale, but as far as he's concerned, people need to eat, so it's a good way of raising funds.

Sausage sizzle, very much in the spirit.

Gaster would have a booth that offers to fix your broken appliances for you. ANd if they come back glowing a little bit in the dark, well, that's just an added bonus.

Urania would offer to tell people's fortunes and horoscopes.

Phoenix would take a nap in the back while Trucy does magic tricks.

Snufkin would sell the random items he'd found on his adventures - a weird rock, a silver button, a seashell, that sort of thing.

Lup would go all out, with baked goods that she bakes with fire magic.

Wilson would sell items that he can make with the resources that are abundant in his world and the magic of the Constant's crafting system! There's a lot of hats. Professional-looking silk top hats, no less; he has a lot of spider silk to work with. They look a bit incongruous next to the stone hand tools. He might also be able to sell some food he's not using; all the beehive-smashing he's had to do in his world resulted in a lot of spare honey, which makes good taffy. He can also make honey nuggets with that, but the secret ingredient is giant spider meat and I don't think it'd get a lot of takers.

Zuko makes things at the forge! He tends toward simple work, but if he really likes you, he's going to break out his jewelers tools and start on small, delicate rings or pendants that require fine applications of heat to mold.

Zenigata is here to hire to like do boring manual labor. Or, you know, solve your crimes.

Lan Zhan is there back up Wei Wuxian with talismans.

Vex does fancy drinks and pours, custom alcohol, that sort of thing. Fae liquor for a premium.

I kind of like what Amascut did last time there was this sort of thing in Milliways - set up a both and sell "potions", I think it was love potions, but in reality it was just cacao tea or chocolate milk made with flair.

Fairy Fixit would sell intricately carved ivory and bone depicting some of the worlds she has visited.

"Fundraising? Hey, I just brought cash, figured that was faster...no, no, don't ask where I got it, it's better that way."

But in seriousness he'd probably go into the archives of the Random Shit he or his grandfather/father stole over the years that he never bothered to fence or give away, and sell that. So you'll have antiques, gemstones, gold, and just utterly random weird crap. Maybe some classic cars.
