Redecorating

Mornings started early in the village of Rabbi. The Bunnies left their houses before dawn and headed out to the fields. The craftsmen who answered the wanted ads, as well as the adventures who had no other jobs while the Northern Nations were in war season, got to work early in an attempt to get as much done before the air became too hot. At the same time, the shops that adorned the streets of the Common District stocked their shelves. As the village of Rabbi was in full swing by five in the morning, the shopkeepers usually woke at three, getting ready bright and early.

“A black loaf and carrot soup, please.”

“A raging chicken skewer and sautéed carrots for me. And a boiled egg.”

“Got to make it last ’til lunch. Got some wheat soup?”

Since Holylight was exceedingly warm throughout the year, the working hours in Rabbi were mostly limited from dawn until high noon.

“Heard a new pub’s going up.”

“Rumors say it’s a second location of Kanpai.”

“We’ll get Kanpai food here? This place is insane...”

While the rest of eastern Holylight was desolate, the large population of Rabbi made for a bustling shopping district.

“Check out this pair! Slime Jelly in the soles! Won’t get any holes in it, either!”

“You won’t believe what this is! It’s grizzly liver from the City States.”

“Green peas! Great for snacking! Wanna try a pod?”

“Blackened Sand Lizard, coming right up! This thing packs just the kick to pick you up in the morning!”

The shopkeepers shouted over each other, eager to make their sales. Amazingly, this district charged them no rent and didn’t tax them on any sales. In a sense, their livelihoods were at stake. If they were to be kicked out of their spot, they were back to the miserable conditions of the wasteland. Tahara had notified all shopkeepers that shops with unsatisfactory performance or bad reviews would be swiftly evicted, and had stayed true to his word. Of course, there was no other place on the continent where these shopkeepers could set up with no rent or tax. As a result, the Common District established for the day laborers was always in a cacophony first thing in the morning. Furthermore, as Tahara had hoped, every shop was striving to improve the quality of their products and maintain a good reputation. A form of brutal capitalism was in place, his way of sifting through the sketchier shopkeepers.

“How far’s this village going to spread, anyway?”

“How should I know?”

“The roads are ridiculously wide. You can barely put any buildings up like this.”

In fact, the roads the laborers were laying out were ridiculously wide, enough for four large carriages to ride side-by-side. Moreover, there were crossroads every now and again, suggesting a design for something incredibly large scale. The laborers had no way of knowing what they were building.

“It’s almost time, let’s go!”

“We’re still early, aren’t we?”

“Grand Foreman said to be there five minutes early!”

The laborers chowed down their breakfast and rushed to their posts. Strangely enough, none of them wore the tell-tale ‘pre-shift gloom’ on their faces.
