Characters: Open!
Note: This is intended to be a very relaxed mingle to give people a bit of a breather. It is plot-related, but a lot less dramatic than prior mingles.

On the 11th, something about Mossgate Council has changed yet again - but this time, it isn't nearly as disturbing and dangerous as back on Halloween.

Instead of cobwebs and skeletons, there are poppies. Red poppies and white poppies have flowered over night. They cover fields and lawns, the Greens and the forest ground, troop exercise areas over at the airfields, the gardens of the manor house, and even parts of the beach.

And up over the white cliffs of Mossgate, bluebirds flap their wings, flying around and sitting on the castle ruins, and if one stands still for a while and offers breadcrumbs, they'll come over and sit on that person's hand to have a snack, too.

They seem a bit confused, but not nearly as confused as the ornithology department at Mossgate University that can't save itself from interviews - no, they have no idea how that American species suddenly showed up in such numbers and why they're sticking to the cliffs specifically. Jane Astbury finally suggests with some exasperation that maybe they're just doing a music-themed tour of Europe, and could they please let her staff and students teach and study in peace?

Chin finding their shoulder, she snickers, "Well not all the time, Feste. I like other foods too much." Nothing could ever sway her away from all those foods she frequently alternates as dubbing her favorite thing.

Resuming her attack, Nel latches on that shoulder and swings herself over to the other side, hoping to try to roll Feste over onto their back, or even just roll with her. She is only so big however so her success will depend on Feste.

Feste goes along with it, rolling onto their back and bringing a hand dramatically up to their forehead. "I have been defeated! Oh, woe is me...!"

That gets a giggle from Nel, and with one last flop on top of their chest, she’ll settle down and sweep her hair back out of her face so she can actually look at her eldest sibling, “Then as victor I would ask for help with my hair.” It’s only fair she gets a little assistance when Feste added to the tangles.

"Yeah, yeah, already." Feste will sit up, holding a hand out to her- they're going to have to go in and find a brush...

In sitting up, Nel is dumped off their chest with a laugh as she tumbles over and off their lap. Still giggling as she rights herself, she spots their hand through the curtain of hair once again covering part of her face and moves to stand up to go inside with them. “Thank you.”
