It was December 23rd, the busiest shopping day of the year.
The busiest shopping day is actually the Friday following Thanksgiving (our Thanksgiving), affectionately referred to by those in the retail industry as "Black Friday." Just a little FYI.
Ha! Maybe in the U.S.A., but not in the world at large, and certainly not on La Perdita, where there is no Thanksgiving Day.
BTW, Euro brought up a very good point which I'd forgotten. We may THINK that Tobias Christopher is a well-rounded character since we're all comfortable writing him, but the truth is that his creator writes the character in a COMPLETELY different way. T.C. as defined by his creator is actually a brooding young man who had been a homeless person, who is obsessed with the rape and murder of his girlfriend and the fate of his missing younger brother, and who has a son somewhere out there in the world. Now, since Tobias Christopher ISN'T around to control the destiny of his character, we shouldn't be trying to control him ourselves. Time to cut the cords, so to speak. No team members without posters is the staple rule, and it's a rule we use for good reason. Let's use the characters we have now rather than continue mis-writing the characters of absent posters.
