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.

Even in what? Runar doesn't even know. But he'll jump on that invitation to start that conversation over. Yes, please, thank you!

He shakes that hand a little too hastily. Deep breaths, what are they?

"Yes, of course! Hi, I'm Runar."

Did he mean completely start over, or... Welp, he'll just try to roll with it.

"Uhm... poppies. Their seeds taste wonderful in baked goods. Have you ever had one?

Fortunately, Runar gets it right.

"Hello, Runar, I'm Walter. And... not recently, actually, though you're right, they are good."

Internally, he's stemming the flow of memories that question provokes; it's not a long history between him and poppies, thankfully, but it's still not all relevant.

"Do you have a preference on the kind of baked good?"
