Today we weed the park all SANTA BABYYYYYY
Date: 1.12.2018
Characters: Open!
Note: Like all welcome mingles, this is a SoL free-for-all mingle meant to get new characters involved by centering around something relevant to them. Without further ado, please welcome Runar!
While the poppies were significantly less creepy than the spiders, they still posed a problem - namely, that there were way too many of them. So after a few weeks of having discussed what to do about them, everyone living in the Mossgate Council area has been requested to help with cleaning up the environment and helping prepare things for the winter. A community clean-up day has been announced for the first Saturday of December, and everyone is requested to volunteer.
Mostly, this means weeding poppies down to a reasonable amount, but it also involves general clean-up and some raking of fallen leaves.
Volunteers are equipped with baskets and tools and sent out into the Greens, onto the beach, and into all other public areas the poppies have sprung up in. The zoo and the Manor house are also happy about anyone who wants to help with clearing their grounds.
And in the evening, the Christmas illuminations at the High Street light up. As is traditional, a children's choir sings for this occasion, and the Mayor takes one of the choir children with him to switch the lights on. At the same time, the Christmas market - really just a few food stalls and a handful of arts and crafts stalls, as well as a little stage where singer-songwriters and childrens' entertainers perform on weekends - opens.

OTA
Although Jimmy didn't really understand why the poppies were such a big deal, or why they needed to be cleaned out by hand like this, he didn't argue much when his host family suggested that he volunteer.
It was a good excuse to get outside, however you looked at it.
He helps with the weeding to start, but changes over to raking when the neighboring volunteers get too annoyed at his lengthy recitations of poppy-related trivia.
Evening
Jimmy had been looking forward to this. He'd read about English Christmas traditions, but he hadn't yet seen any of them for himself.
He's arrived early enough to see the lighting of the illuminations, but soon makes his way over to the small market, where he explores everything the stalls have to offer with great interest.

He stops at one of the food stalls, staring at what they offer. Being in an exceptionally good mood, he just does something a little more impulsive today. He turns to Jimmy.
"Care to let me buy you a drink?"
He's not even thinking as to how that might sound - flirting, offering alcohol, whatever else might cross a person's mind. He just genuinely wants to share a cocoa with someone. And apparently that's Jimmy today.

"Sorry, I already picked one up."
