There are bluebirds over- Wait, those don't go here! [Mingle]

Date: 11.11.2018
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?

"Just make sure to not tease before school," she teases, "or before you have other plans." And then she'll carry Nel inside and tuck her in on the couch. Sleep, sweet child of hers.

...And then she'll slowly wander back out and stare down at the plant they made for many, many minutes. And just stare. What the fuck.

Slowly nodding in agreement to the wise implication of planning when to work with her gift, Nel speaks through another yawn, “That...that wouldn’t do.” Nel will consider appropriate times to practice in the future, especially with supervision, but by the time her mother has laid her down and helped her strip off her boots, the child is already slipped into a light slumber. There on the couch, she’ll nap away an hour.
