[OPEN] We were cold and we were clear
Who: Newt Scamander(newtralize and You!
When: Throughout the month
Where: Various locations
What: Quests, Event, and general prompts.
Warnings: N/A
I. Cold Weather, Warm Company
A.
[The common space at the Phoenix Tear is in disarray as of late. From wrapping paper to string to ribbon to bows. If it isn't items to wrap presents, there was the items that were meant to be wrapped. There didn't seem to be a space that wasn't occupied with something. Sitting on the ground and surrounded by presents is Newt himself. He has bows stuck to him as he carefully is wrapping a box.
The petalwolves in Newt's care aren't really helping much as they shred up paper and roll around in it. At least they're cute.
He sighs after a moment though as he watches the pups play.] They're darling, but they're really not conductive to productivity. [He glances up finally.] Sorry, did you need something?
B.
[There's been a lot more activity in the barracks as of late. Plenty of Monsters and refugees can be found there. Why exactly?
The smell of food wafts in the air and plenty of the less fortunate have bowls full of a warm and hearty stew and bread in their hands. A soup kitchen had been set up to help them get through the chill of Winter and fill their empty stomachs.
Perhaps you're here to assist or want a meal. Newt is kind of flitting about to and fro though. He can be found in the kitchen helping with food prep and cooking or he can be found outside serving meals or sitting with some and chatting with them. He's a bit all over the place, but he isn't hard to get ahold of. Just get his attention before he disappears off again.]
II. Snow Way Out
[The weather doesn't really deter Newt in anyway. He's used to it, if anything. England got quite chilly at times after all and he had traveled through all sorts of weathers while abroad for the year he was researching for his book. He also had a tendency to think of others before himself, so of course he ends up assisting.
Newt can be found transporting supplies or helping with repairs that can be managed given the weather. He's become a rather common face around the Refugee District.
He can even be found helping out in the Aristocratic District by shoveling snow and clearing pathways. Despite the way they might treat the Mirrorbound and him in particular, he's not the type to let others suffer when he can assist. Still, it would be nice if they didn't look at him with disdain or seemed to be more appreciative.
Newt wipes his brow, feeling quite warm despite the weather. Constantly on the move really helps stave it off at least.] There's still so much to be done...
III. Kiss-tletoe
[Newt is pretty sure mistletoe is the bane of his life during the Holidays. Social interaction is already enough of a pain to manage, but the tradition of mistletoe definitely doesn't instill him with particular joy.
Interacting with people? Fine. Kissing strangers because of some ridiculous tradition? Absolutely not.
It's too bad Newt doesn't get a choice when he gets stuck under a sprig with someone else. Not only was it a public setting (he was just wandering the streets and window shopping), but there were a few people hollering. Newt's face is probably turning a bright red at this moment and the man looks like he all but wants the Earth to swallow him hole. He's just very flustered about it and it shows easily.] I- Well, I believe we should, uhm, get on with it so they say.
IV. Eat, Drink & Be Merry
[He ends up at the park for a little bit. He was curious to see all the dishes laid out and adds one of his own to it.
It's nice to see everyone mix and mingle in ways. It's obvious that many stick to who they're comfortable with, but there are those that seem to venture out too. He has a cup of warm cider in hand as he sits and listens to stories or people sing with a soft smile on his face. Despite it seemingly be a Holiday for people to join together, Newt is off on his own.]
V. Hunting of the Wren
[Decidedly, he isn't too fond of this tradition. Watching creatures caged and being paraded around leaves a sour taste in his mouth. He doesn't do anything about it, but he's very disapproving of it.
That, and the pranks. Newt had always been at the wrong end of pranks and it seems to be nothing new here too. He huffs a little as he finds himself on the floor and in the snow looking quite unimpressed. The pranksters merely laugh a bit as they go on their merry way and Newt gingerly moves to get to his feet and starts patting snow off himself.] Absolute rubbish. [He shakes his head a bit.] I think I'll just say that I have no love for whatever this is.
VI. Wildcard
[I didn't put a plotting comment up due to time constraints, but I'm happy to plot things out. You can PM me or catch me on plurk. I'm happy to do anything pertaining to the available event options or more general December activities! I'll also reply to any starters written.]

no subject
Reason why? I've been bonded from him for some time now. I think if he were interested, he would have made it known. [Says the guy who hasn't exactly made his own feelings known. Though, Newt was also somewhat obvious about it too.] Besides, it's unlikely he would be romantically inclined towards me in the first place. [And there was always the issue of how Newt perceives how others perceives him.
And perhaps Newt looks a bit put out because of it.]
no subject
Well, he's not going to give up just quite yet. After all, he's totally here to help his poor brother with his romantic problems. He's waited years for this.]
Those are quite a lot of assumptions you're making, Newt. Perhaps he's just as shy as you when it comes to admitting your feelings. [He gives a small smile of encouragement.]
And why wouldn't Hiccup be romantically inclined? You're a good man.
