Save Our Parks! (OPEN)

[rekindlemods]

Who: Everyone Where: Mostly Districts 2 and 3 When: 20th September Summary: In light of the new district reopening, there's still a lot to do! This log is open to everyone if they want to see what else is going on in the city, or help with some important tasks. Warnings: Inbox death may occur. System overload at own risk. SOME NPC RESPONSES WILL BE SLOW UNTIL THE ONE WHO PLAYS THEM IS PRESENT. I'm only happy when it rains... Some of the natives have been busy. There's a little stand set up in the plaza that wasn't there before. They have minions, too: people with clipboards are assaulting recent arrivals on the street with requests. It seems that most of the employees are helping with the district reopening, and that means everyone else is incredibly understaffed. But wait! Don't walk away! If your character helps with some of the chores around the city, they'll get a little money added to their stipend, as well as a coupon to the new store opening today in District 3. District 2 Residents will be asked to help hang up tiny twinkling lights in the trees lining the streets, nothing so fancy as during the summer festival but something with lasting power throughout the oncoming rainfall. There are water fountains that need to be insulated, gigantic mountains of leaves that should be disposed of, and plants requiring trimming. District 3 In addition to the winterization chores going on in the second district, the shopping district has their own problems to take care of. Large potted plants need to be moved inside-- that's a job for physically fit characters-- and little tents need to be taken down. Oh, and they need lights in the trees here, too. New Store There is a lot of excitable chattering surrounding the new store on the main shopping street. The sign is currently covered in plastic and unreadable. Boxes Near the water, groups of trees, or small parks, characters might stumble upon a group of canvas-covered boxes and someone desperately looking for help with them. There are a lot, after all. YOU MAY NOW REPLY. Thank you for your patience! NPCs will pop into the last two sections. Otherwise, comment and threadjack at will.

[Cu Chulainn stares at the strange store for a long time before he slowly, carefully, takes a step in.]

Hello...?

[rekindlenpcs]

[The door jingles. A woman with a lanyard greets the kid.]

Hello! And welcome! Can I help you with something?

[Her arms are full of dog toys, rubber balls and fake chickens, things like that. There are fish tanks near the entrance, brightly-lit and colorful.]

[beforetights]

[He looks around the store and then at the woman.]

Yes, please. Can you tell me what this place is? And what's that chicken doll for?

[rekindlenpcs]

This is a pet store. You can find just about anything to help care for a pet here-- food, toys, bedding, even little costumes.

[She squeaks the chicken.]

It's a dog toy. They really like chewing on these and playing tug with them.

[He giggles and claps his hands.]

Oh, it's nice! I wish I had a pet I could buy things for now!
