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.

"The feeling's mutual," Walter assures.

When she launches into the story, he's first concerned at the idea Ben might have been found out... but then the humor comes through, and he grins broadly, coming just short of laughing out loud.

"Oh dear. That's certainly one way to misinterpret an Echo!"

Sadie continues to laugh, "Bless my Mum, I wish I could tell her about it because she is genuinely concerned about him. Both Mum and Dad actually. James knows so he just spent the rest of the evening teasing Ben once Mum and Dad went out for dinner." Sadie rolls her eyes fondly at the mention of her brother's reaction to the steroids talk.

Walter shakes his head, bemused - though the grin is briefly dashed off his face after an aside glance at the closest workers.

"Better get back to work. And you'd better get away from the allergens, at least for a while."

That is, the flammable allergens.

Sadie glances down at the poppies and at the other volunteers who are slowly working their way closer towards them.

"That is probably a good idea... Home, a cup of tea, and then wrapping myself up before the Christmas market may be for the best." Standing up, she brushes down her trousers for any plant matter before hugging Walter. "Thank you, Walter. I'll see you soon?"
iamnotgod: A man, smiling and holding a book. (When He Smiles.)

Thread wrap?

"Without a doubt," he confirms.

Just maybe not at the Christmas market.

He returns the hug with all due strength.
