All I want for Christmas
Date: 11.12.2018
Characters: Open!
Note: Please feel free to have your own threads and fun on this mingle, but anyone who wants to meet Father Christmas needs to tag into the NPC thread below!
Christmas is fast approaching, and the shops and stores around Mossgate have no intention of letting anyone forget it. Every shop is decked out in a garish display of Christmas merriment, not least the Riverside shopping centre. This year they have gone for a white and blue polar theme (although thankfully one less risqué than another shopping centre's attempt), with giant white and blue balls hanging from the ceiling, white tinsel wrapped around every pillar and railing, and an animatronic polar scene near the food court.
On the other side of the food court, the traditional Santa's grotto has been built, the little sheds' roofs covered in white 'snow'. White pines and a few escapees from the polar display block Father Christmas' shed from sight, along with his guard of jolly elves in traditional red and green, who prevent any child whose parents haven't paid the £5 entrance fee from sneaking in.
Which is all business as normal. What isn't business as normal is the rumours slowly spreading around town. Father Christmas is giving out real gifts this year, not the usual pound store car/doll: he's giving children swords and dresses and even, the rumour goes, ponies. And then people start to whisper that it's not just children that he's providing for. Adults are also being granted their wishes, if they dare to take a turn on Father Christmas' lap. Of course, no one has any proof, but is it worth a try before Riverside catches on and replaces their generous Santa with someone a little less giving?

Sorry, for some reason I thought that I'd replied already!
When she opens it, she'll find several packets of seeds, complete with potting instructions. However, as they grow, she might realise that they don't appear to be known varieties.
No worries!! I’m so excited about these special seeds!
Urged to be on her way, Nel slides from his lap with a giggle, “Merry Christmas!” and waves as she walks out with the precious box. Later, when she has time to examine the contents, she’ll squeal when she discovers the seeds and instructions. Although the packets lack labels to identify the contents, that does not affect her intention to give them her best care when the time comes to plant them.
