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.

Amber eyes widen, firstly in shock, secondly in sheer delight, and unfortunately finally in horror as her heartbeat starts thumping louder and louder between her ears, the feeling of being adrift, disconnected, falling as her stomach drops out from under her.
Sadie's digs her fingers into Ben's shirt, as if the action of anchoring herself to him could halt what was about to happen.
"Ben..." His name falls from her lips, intense and almost desperate as she's whisked away into a memory...
The gold gilding of the goblet in her hand seems to burn with an intensity befitting the atmosphere within the private drawing room. Aymeric had been behaving oddly all throughout their dinner together, and even now the older Elezen shifts and fidgets in his seat as a burning red blush stains his pale skin all the way to the ends of his delicately pointed ears that stick out from beneath his tousled, wavy ebony hair.
"Ser Aymeric, is something the matter, you are behaving most unusually?"
She cannot help but grin as the blush seems to brighten and he coughs, clearly embarrassed at her noticing.
"I suppose you could say that something is vexing me." He admits, voice soft in the hush of the room. "'Tis something that has vexed me for awhile when I think more upon it."
Standing up, he moves to sit on the sofa next to her, his long, calloused fingers reaching out for hers." I have been thinking on our acquaintance, these years that I have known you and your brave family,but most especially you Q'uila."
Colbolt blue eyes hold her gaze as he looks down at her, "And I have come to realise that I have something of great import that I must muster the courage to tell you... Q'uila Sunrise, my dearest... I love you."
Her breath hitches, and her vision swims as-
-Tears slowly roll down her cheeks.
"Ben!" Sadie chokes as she moves from where their heads rest together to Bury her head in his neck,tears still flowing freely.
no subject
Distance widening between them, he speaks to her as he waits for her to pull back together, “Sadie, it’ll be okay, I’m here...! I’m right here.”
Like always, the moment ends sooner than it feels, and the sight of tears welling into her eyes plucks at a taut cord in his chest painfully. Again, his name is spoken with audible pain and he lifts his arm as she curls to tuck down to his neck. Unable to tolerate doing so little, he scoops his arms around her upper half and shifts to sit them both up in the bed where she can better burrow against his front as his arms encircle her.
“Sadie...Sadie, talk to me. What happened?” his voice kept even despite the urgency he feels.
no subject
"She was drinking in some sort of study with a man. An...elf; tall, pale, wavy black hair, bright blue eyes, soft-voiced, and long, calloused fingers. Ser Aymeric, she called him. He seemed...very nice." Sadie admits, through somewhat gritted teeth.
"She was teasing Ser Aymeric for behaving strangely when he went and sat next to her. He-he took her hand and told her that something had been on his mind for a long time and that he had to tell her..."
Sadie takes a deep breath and wipes the tears on her cheeks away, she doesn't want to say it outloud, not to Ben, not in this moment. But she has to, she won't ever go back on their promise.
"He said, 'Q'uila Sunrise, my dearest... I love you."
no subject
Having been looking down towards Sadie while she relayed the memory, his gaze flickers off towards a wall in her room instead as his shoulders sag, “Oh...” His thoughts scramble in awkward circles as he feels a different kind of anxiety sweep under him. A hollow and weak chuckle comes out as he struggles to turn humor against it, “Heh... Figures someone with class would confess right after me.”
no subject
"No! Ben. Ben look at me." Sadie rests her left hand on his cheek in a near mirror-image of the way he had before the Echo and waits for Ben's eyes to meet her own. "I don't want that memory. I hate it. You-" She places her right hand over where his heart is, "You are the one who confessed to me, not whoever that man was. You."
no subject
That she loathes the memory is surprising, but he dare not interrupt to question it with more than a raise of his eyebrows. Her hand over his heart finds the organ beating too hard and too fast, and yet he brings his own hand from behind her to lay over it to hold there in pledge, “...I stand by what I said. I meant it and nothing will change that.”
no subject
She bumps their foreheads back together, sealing the last bit of mimicry to Ben beforehand, "I have been wonderfully blessed to have been chosen by this guy who is kind, gentle, intelligent, who has a passion for knowledge, who challenges me to challenge myself, who delights in cooking, and playing with my cats, and loves his little sister. Who has trusted me, and who valued me far before anything to do with these Numbers came into the picture."
"I will treasure what you said and I hate that that memory interfered, because I love you too."
no subject
Foreheads brought together, he tilts his head forward to match the angle comfortably as he appreciates the amber of her eyes and admires the strength she displays in such a critical moment. As she pours lavish compliments to his character, Benjiro feels his face heat, but he does not allow himself to shy. Not one bit, extolling as it is to listen.
Feeling almost overwhelmed, Sadie reciprocates the expression of love and completes the moment. He ceases to breathe, as though fearful if he continues to exist it will be a wisp of a dream, but his heart still beats and he still feels her touch at his face. His hand, albeit a little unsteady as he moves slowly, brushes against her cheek in reproduction of his earlier gesture. Only then can he breathe, and when he does, oh, he feels alive!
A beaming grin splits his expression as his eyes close against blurring edges and he lets out a breathless laugh to punctuate his utter joy. Voice kept lowered for their closeness, he makes no effort to contain the elation in his words, “Then it hasn’t taken anything but time.” Fingers moving back from her cheek to lift and brush back her hair, he lifts his forehead from her own enough to clearly look at his love before he leans in to kiss her.
no subject
Amber remains fixed on brown even as Ben freezes, even as he hand slowly drifts up the her cheek... There! The moment his hand rests on her cheek she watches as her words seem to almost crystallise behind his eyes, sinking into that busy, intelligent brain of his. Sadie's grin matches Ben's in its brightness, tears once more running down her face from the sheer amount of warmth and love she feels for him, the moment is almost enough to overwhelm her, especially the matching delight painted plain as day across Ben's face.
Sadie leans forward to meet Ben's kiss, more than happy to follow his lead, to let him guide her, the strength of her purr almost making her entire body vibrate. When Ben eventually pulls back, Sadie chases his lips with a whine,she doesn't want this moment to end.
"We love each other." Sadie delights in saying it outloud. "We love each other." A series of excited chirps and chitters escape her lips as she moves her arms to pull Ben into a tight hug.
no subject
Kisses shorten and stagger as he seeks to catch his breath, and that whine draws him close one more time to instead kiss at the tip of her nose, between her eyebrows, and then in the middle of her forehead. Chin turning down after to look straight to her, his lips part into a giddy grin as she says those wonderful words. He laughs as she chirps and chitters, his second arm twining around her into the hug as he kisses her on the cheek in passing.
Sighing out as he curls around her a little, he echoes the words, "We're in love." Simultaneously he wants to run and jump about, but also to snuggle as close to her as possible and not relinquish one millimeter of space away. So in the only decent compromise, he twists as he holds her and flops back on the bed with her on top of him.
no subject
For someone who not even five minutes ago was almost completely asleep, Sadie now feels like she could take off from the sheer force of her purring alone, never mind how energised she is at it all, giggling as Ben flops them both back onto the bed. Tilting her neck to better look him in the eye, Sadie is absolutely lovestruck.
"How on Earth did I get so lucky to have you in my life?"

"You are so wonderful to me Benjiro. Honestly, truely the most wonderful." She nuzzles happily against the crook of Ben's neck, snorting in amusement at the rock remark, and accidentally triggering another sneeze and a shower of pinkish sparkles.
"Don't forget best portable disco too. And I am lucky to have someone in my life who will always be able to open jar lids for me." It goes unsaid that she will enjoy every second of Ben committing various feats of strength, she has proved that well enough already as she cheekily goes in for another kiss, this time brushing against the underside of his jaw bone.
no subject
As Sadie nuzzles in against his neck, his toes curl briefly and his arms slide further around her without tightening. He knows how special she is firsthand, and he will do everything he can to be worthy of her love as he learns how to love someone this way.
The sparkles give him something to focus on while he cannot see her, and her jokes make him chuckle, "No jar contents are off limits." Relaxing as he was with the conversation, the kiss at the underside of his jaw catches him off guard with a quick little inhale followed by a happy squirm. That caused a different sort of spark, and he welcomes the attention. Unable to reciprocate with a kiss, he instead decides to make good use of his hand strength and starts to rub his fingers between her shoulder blades in small circles.
no subject
"Would you like to continue?" She doublechecks verbally, "You're in charge of our pace alright? If you get as far as your comfortable say stop and we stop immediately."
Fade out?
"In all seriousness, I would like to continue, and I'll let you know," he adds with his voice lowered down. His heart rate ticks up a little further as he slides his hand from his shoulders down to her lower back.
Fade out \o/
"Thank you for trusting me with this Ben, especially as it's a first for us both." The kisses on the jaw graduate to Sadie teasing at his lips, as her hands drift down to slide under the hem of his t-shirt to begin a most wonderful end to their evening.
