"Page it is, thanks!" Piper honestly didn't feel like putting too much thought into the name of the little fennekit. Page was a cute name as well, so it all worked out in the end! She had a feeling her Mom would like it as well!
"Oooo! That sounds like a really cool familiar!" To have a familiar as tall as she was? That would be so cool! She'd love to run around and play with it outside. Though, she could easily do that with her little fennekit as well. There was just something about having a big familiar that seemed entertaining. As they wandered around she found a booth handing out little bracelets. She picked the purple one since it reminded her of the new friend she'd just made!

Jezebeth had returned to her dorm for a brief moment to stow away the prizes she had already won at the event. Enoukn had been sleeping when she popped in on him, but she set the fennekit plushie next to his bed and then wandered back out after leaving some more water behind for him. He didn't seem to be seriously sick, some rest was all he needed to feel better. It was just too bad it happened to be festival day that he was sick.
She wandered back into the festival and was instantly drawn to another free-book booth. There were so many of these things? She picked one up that looked like it might be interesting. At this rate, she'd probably leave with a good eight new books to read....

Ziron ( 18 )  Ziron decided to get another hot drink to keep themselves warm, coming to one stand and being given some hot chocolate with a free mug, and it was even their favorite color! What else could they do here? Not only that they still wanted to give something to someone.  Candy ( 10 )  Candy brought Phyre to another game booth, waiting in line with her until Phyre could play. While in line, the two of them were gifted a pair of light bulb necklaces, putting it in right away. Soon after though it was Phyre's turn to play the throwing game, watching her daughter proudly.  Phyre ( 19 )  With her necklace on, Phyre made her way up to throw cotton balls at the snowmen. She managed to get seven of the fifteen, receiving a plushie that she held dearly and ran back to her mother ", I got another plushie!"  Lazarus ( 5 )  Heading to the merchandise booths, Lazarus noticed some snow globes he quite liked, deciding to try and get a few snow globes. For the stand he was currently at he picked a forest one, seeing a few others at different booths he liked. As he made his way to the next booth, he noticed a box in his bag that had the globe in it. What could it be? Opening it right away, there was an Aetherjelly and a note telling him to enjoy his new familiar. Well, what was one more familiar right?   Yihad ( 5 )  Coming across a necklace, Yihad decided to get it. Hu had never seen a light bulb as a necklace, and hu wanted to have one for humself. After getting it and putting it on, hu noticed a skyfish all alone in the cold. Yihad sure didn't want it to be cold, or alone, especially if hu could help it. Once hu was over by it, he offered to keep the familiar warm, the skyfish rushing over and snuggling in hus coat.   Vivek ( 17 )  Looking at some globes curiously, Vivek tried to figure out why anyone would want one. Was it just decoration, but what was so special about it? After carefully picking it up, he moved it just so and notice the snow inside, shaking it and seeing how the snow fell. That was actually kind of nice looking. Not only that, the booth owner saw that he was interest in it and gave it to him. How nice!  Somansh ( 6 )  Getting a hot drink and a free mug, Somansh made her way to sit down and watch everyone go by, sipping her apple cider. She wondered a bit if anyone would really care if they saw her wings. After all, she saw a bunch of other nightmares with mutations, and even saw a mother and daughter who both had deformities of their own. Maybe no one would really care about her half wings? As she was thinking this over, she was handed a plushie by someone who did not wants their's, feeling sad for the fact that the nightmare didn't want it. It was a cute plushie after all.   Jacintha ( 5 )  Dancing around like what she thought a deer would, she skipped and jumped in a circle while trying to pay attention to everyone so she didn't knock into them. As she did this, a fennekit came to join her, wearing a pair of antlers of its own. Now she had a dancing partner!   Coralie ( 1 )  As it got chillier, Coralie began to feel irritated. Being a nixie she was more sensitive to moisture, and there wasn't enough for her. She needed some warm water to keep herself from being agitated. As she received her warm water, she was also give a mug to use. Oh, that was nice she used.  Aqua'glow ( 16 )  Coming to a booth that showed the history of this holiday, Aqua'glow decided to focus a bit on reading everything instead of watching others, at the end of the booth receiving a necklace and another plushie. There just of been a lot of plushies for her to of been given so many already.   Total: 272 + 19 + 18 + 17 = 326

 As Kyleigh continued to look at the tree, a skyfish she hadn't seen before swam down to her. "Oh! Aren't you a cutie?" she said and tickled it under the chin. With a flick of its fin, a bracelet shot up and over its own head. Kyleigh caught it with a small gasp. "For me? Thank you!" she smiled happily as she fastened the bracelet around her wrist. Taegan smiled as they came upon a table of enchanted, glowing necklaces. They were very pretty, and Tae thought the pink one might look good on Vera so they bought her one. She giggled and clutched all her plushies to her chest. "Aren't they?" Bibiana didn't think Cyril had very much experience hanging out with other Nightmares, but that was okay with her! She would still be his friend, and maybe she could help him be less.... Well. less awkward. He was awfully cute in his awkwardness, though. She watched intently as he took his turn, clapping and cheering him on when his first two balls knocked pins down. The third went wide and she gave a heartfelt "Awww! Better luck next time, right?" She beamed at him happily. "It looks like an interesting book," she said with a nod. "Maybe I could borrow it from you sometime!" She giggled softly at the way he lit up; she wasn't laughing at him, she just thought it was cool. The best she could manage was a soft glow. His babbling brought another giggle from her and she reached out to pat his shoulder. "It's totally okay, Cyril, I understood what you meant~"
Putting her hands on her hips, she looked around. "Where do you think we should go next?" She had picked the first game, now it was only fair that Cyril got to pick their next activity. Suddenly, she felt a weight on her head and she reached up to feel a pair of antlers like Cyril's. "Hey look, we match!" she giggled and shook her head to make the bells jingle. Lestari wandered through the merchant booths again and bought herself a pair of silver bell earrings that would go with her silver boa. She snorted to herself and smiled; she must look terribly tacky.  Aellys was actually having a good time dressing up his little cat plushie. This time he draped a silver tinsel boa around its neck. "Isn't that fancy, Menthe?" he asked of his new familiar who still stood on his shoulder nibbling a piece of candy cane. Just when he thought he wouldn't have room to dress it up anymore, he won a game and got himself another plushie to dress up.  Dani was quite enjoying playing some of these games. In one, she tossed ping pong balls at half filled fishbowls of water. She managed to get one in a fishbowl and won another plushie for herself. Total:
12/2 || (3 + 10 + 14) = 27
12/3 || (6 + 16 + 9) + 27 = 58
12/4 || (20 + 13 + 18) + 58 = 109
12/5 || (17 + 20 + 15) + 109 = 161
12/6 || (6 + 7 + 10) + 161 = 184
12/7 || (15 + 14 + 11) + 184 = 224

OKAY, I can at least get my self posts out of the way while folks fill in yesterday's cards!  Zalir found the hot drink stand eventually, taking a mug of hot cocoa and finding a table to sit at in the eating area. There, zey sipped the cocoa while zey examined zeir prizes so far. There were supposed to be eight books at the event--so far, zey had six. Zey were missing...Malice in Wonderland and The Halfling, both books that zey'd heard about, but never actually read. That applied to pretty much all of zeir book prizes so far. There were three plushies this year that were gold or orange or yellow or brown, not including the giant ones, and frankly, zey didn't really want a giant one. So zey nearly had all of the prizes zey wanted. Except, of course, for aetherjellies...Those would be tricky.
Someone tapped zem on the shoulder. Zey turned around to see an impatient-looking Imp standing there. "Hi," the other Nightmare said without preamble. "I got an extra plushie that I don't really want. Would you like it?"
Zalir blinked, then examined the plushie. It was the yellow and orange cat, the last plushie zey needed. Zey nodded. "Yes, please."
"Here you go." The Imp shoved it into Zalir's arms. Zalir squeaked. "Th-thank you! And H-happy Solstice!"
The Imp flashed zem a distracted grin. "Yeah, you too," they said, and then hustled off.
Zalir held out the plushie and stared at it. What was that person's problem? Zey looked at zeir loot, trying to come to a decision. Zeir bookbag was getting full. Right. I'll just take this stuff back to my dorm and come back later to continue trying. That way I can carry more... Okay, so she wasn't too hot on the whole reflexes thing. That was okay, there were lots of other games to try! She was tempted to try the darts game, which looked pretty fun considering how many people were standing there, but there was simply no space. It seemed to be dominated by a few large groups, which left latecomers like Oriset right out of the loop. Eh. What was a girl to do now? She looked around and settled at last for an obstacle course in the middle of the room. She left her stocking, her boa, and even her earrings behind--she didn't want to lose any of them--gave her legs a half-hearted stretch, and at the shout of the Demon running the obstacle course, set off along the senior course.
Once again, she could have done better. She groaned. Why was she so bad at this stuff? But hey, at least she got a...necklace? As a consolation prize. She shook it experimentally, then grinned as it glowed and the glitter inside swirled lazily around. Neat-o! Luckily for her, the game-runner agreed to Wyrdda's request. Their stall wasn't nearly crowded enough to get picky, and anyway, the cards all got reshuffled. There was not, so far as Wyrdda could tell, a lot of opportunity for cheating. She picked her cards more slowly this time, systematically, hoping to see more cards connect up. This wasn't a game of skill, so there wasn't anything she could to to increase her chances, but ritualizing it made her feel like she was getting something done. Please, Kallystos, help me...guide my claws... She was never sure if the Nine were ever listening to her, but hey, it was worth a shot...
This time, Kallystos seemed to smile upon the Grimm. She'd won a plushie! She picked a white and blue vespercat plush and crammed it into her stocking. Hm. Whoever had picked this size for stockings obviously hadn't taken stuffed animals into account...
She'd won a book as well. She'd picked it because it had mountains on it. That was normal, right? Bundled up in a sweater and a scarf, Vederat finally made his way down to the carnival about half an hour after it had begun. Hey, sometimes it took him a while to get his stuff together, okay? Anyway, it's not like he'd ever had any intention of missing this. The first stop upon arriving was to examine the variety of stockings available. They came in somewhat green but mostly red; somewhat red but a little green; lots of orange with a smidgen of yellow; and a bunch of colors Ved didn't like. He groaned. Which stocking should he pick? Most years it was easier! This year they'd mixed things up! Finally he sighed and picked one that was kinda purple but also kind of pink. He liked purple, at least a little. He was willing to put up with pink if he could have purple. He just wasn't feeling red or orange this year.
After that, he made his way to a bean-bag toss, waiting in line for his turn before throwing. He was rewarded for his throwing with a snowglobe. He grinned, shaking it and watching the snow fall. "Thank you! Happy Solstice!" And he took off running.

 Deciding that he wanted to read the book hades took a seat and began reading. Even though it was reaching night time he had no problems reading due to his new familiar bouncing up and down on the page glowing faintly. However he was pulled out of his amused distractions when someone dropped a necklace next to him. It was rather purple and fit with his outfit rather well. He supposed he could be a bit more festive.   Muninn looked back at his new familiar and gave it a good look. “no biting Mani, they’re sensitive” the bird seemed to look at Mani before going back to keeping its post on Muninn’s shoulder. “There it shouldn’t bite you…. Although slamming into the back of your head, well muninn can’t promise that.” “Well I’ve been here for a while just sitting on the bench. People tend to give you a lot of things…” as if on queue Mani ended up getting a book and Muninn was handed a plant. Oh he hoped he didn’t kill it.   Kadali had to stop doing this to him. It was one thing to run off to go see friends. The twins were two different people after all but lately Kadali had always been running off to go spend time with… well baum was pretty sure their name was Leif. They hadn’t really spent time with each other lately. So of course he was beyond unhappy at losing her. After about half an hour of searching he gave up and with a giant huff proceeded to pout on the bench. He was sooo going to get pay back by ditching Kadali next time she wanted to hang out. Luckily apparently a passing adult took pity on his pouty mood and he was handed a plushie. Huggling it he wondered what he was supposed to do now.  Yami sighed and looked around wondering what to do. He hadn’t been planning on coming to the festival but Yun had demanded he take time off and Vanna had given all the family time off to enjoy the holidays… or well the next couple of days, probably had to do with the fact that Vanna got touchy whenever it came to any time that a break was happening at the school. Still he was hoping to adopt so it wouldn’t hurt to win a few plushies for when he got a child or eventually imbued stones by himself. Going up to the nearest game he quickly won a plushie. Well he did have to admit that they were rather cute.

 Oh, good, he hadn't offended her. Not that he didn't think he could take her in a fight, but he didn't want to get into any, ah...spontaneous fights. Especially since most schools treated kids who fought back as harshly as they did the instigators of a fight. That was stupid, in Bath's opinion. It taught kids never to fight back. But still, that was probably one of the most worrying things that this school taught people. It mostly taught them good things--like racial tolerance. He'd never before seen so many hybrids be treated so well by their classmates and teachers. He still couldn't believe it!
So he hadn't offended her, good, but he wasn't so sure about her other comment. "I hope you weren't referring to me with that last bit," he said. "I don't like being complimented on my appearance. Makes me nervous--like you're asking for something I don't want to give you." He pushed that thought out of his mind. He didn't want to think about it. Not today. No, he wanted to think about good things. His cat at home. His roommate, wherever he was. He grinned and accepted the hammer from Mytrax. "Duh. We can't leave with you having such a ----ty roll, now can we?" He hefted the hammer once again and brought it down.
Worrying about his new friend must have brought his game off--he did as poorly as Mytrax just had. He handed her the hammer back. "Okay, you've got to be able to do better than I just did." He accepted a book as a prize. How many books were there at this event?

Gaius was in absolute awe of the little salamander, his eyes sparkling and shimmering as he gazed at its adorable beady eyes that were blinking back at him calmly. So precious~~~~ with great care, he hoisted the little critter higher up, before pulling it down to his chest securely, hugging it close. It was still moist from the punch, which stained his sweater, but he didn't care. He even used part of his sleeve to wipe off the dripping punch juices off the little guy, quietly cooing to it with a great deal of affection.
It was again in delay that he realized Eilwen was there, perking up as she spoke, only to look back up just in time to see that person take a cup of punch for themselves. He giggled a little at the sight, finding it amusing, "Dunno. Maybe it thought it was water? these guys like water." peeking back at Eilwen, he turned to face her so she could get a better look at the salamander, who slowly turned its head to blink at her as well, innocence written all over that darling face.

Caper squeezed Silas' hand, pleased. "Come on," he beamed, pulling the other gently around the edge of the crowd. The Geist wasn't in the mood to be trampled, so unknowingly to the other's benefit, the Freshling did a good job at avoiding the others as he made way to the nearest snack table.
He pattered up to the edge, standing on his tip toes. Caper hummed and not noticing anyone who seemed interested in helping them, he slowly worked one of the cookies towards the edge of the table. One fell into his hands and he squeaked. "Here," he stated warmly, handing it to Silas as he went for another. He came down with a larger cookie, and he broke it in half. "The bigger half is for my bird!" he explained. He chewed on the edge of his half. "Good?"

Silas followed as instructed after the other Freshling, keeping his eyes glued forward and down at the feet of his new companion, avoiding anyone else around them. It was a miracle, to him, that they didn't get bumped or shoved! But somehow they made it without a scratch to the food table.
Daring to peek up at the spread, he slowly peered along the tasty looking treats, and the steam rising from some of the warm beverages also for grabs. Watching Caper bump the first cookie down, Silas was surprised to have it offered to himself! Blushing softly, he gingerly accepted the dessert, with another quiet 'thank you...', holding it close to stare at and take a tentative nibble on. It... was good! When prompted by the other boy, he gave a slow nod in approval, taking another dainty bite of the sweet, savoring it.
Little to his knowledge, though, another familiar had made its appearance. It was a fluffy little thing that'd pranced up behind the two youngsters, and was now staring at the unaware Silas' back, fluffy tail wiggling back and forth expectantly.

 "Nah, see--" Perigor held up his own plush. "The eyes are embroidered felt. They're not dumb enough to shoot something with hard plastic bits in it at a bunch of students. Headmistress Ava's got even more of a reputation than the last one." Peri was glad of that. Getting scared by scruffy hobos was scary. Even if the hobos were Grimms and fish people. No way were the engineers gonna piss her off. They had more sense than that.
Peri looked over at the gingerbread houses and squinted. He didn't remember those from last year. "So do we--whoa!" Peri shouted as the snowglobe was flung at Prometheus. He glared at the perpetrator, who giggled. "Watch where you're chucking stuff, stupid-face! People could get fricking hurt!" The other student just laughed all the harder.
The bird in Peri's hand started to scream--"Stoo'id haaaass!"
"Stoo-eed AAAAAAAAACE!!" another bird screamed. It raced over to Peri, weaving in between legs, until it was close enough to hop onto the hybrid's foot. "Stoo-eed aaace!"
Peri snorted and scooped it up. He petted it on the head. "Yes. Very stupid face. Very stupid jerkface. That's right, Horror." Horror preened themselves and bumped heads with Terror, who looked startled, even mildly offended by this gesture. Peri looked back up at Prome. "So is it like...a haunted house but without the scary? People just sit around giving out candy canes or something?" Teo actually wanted to stay at the boxes some more, but considering how long it had taken his companions to work their way through the boxes and their mixed luck, it occurred to him that it might not be the best game for them. After all, three of them suffered from the Rot. Technically, so did Teo, but his didn't seem to affect him as much, except to give him claws and make his ribs stick out. They'd been kind enough to humor him with a game he could play, now it was his turn to show them some hospitality. And besides, it's not as if walking through a house was difficult, right? "That sounds like fun, Prometheus. What do the girls think?" He accepted a bundle of candycanes with a murmured "Thank you." What did the girls think? Well, Ustule for one hadn't gotten around to the Haunted House this last Haunted Hallows, but she'd gone most other years. She was due for another house to walk through this time, even though she couldn't understand the point if it wasn't spooky. I guess the point is to spend time with friends, see decorations, and suchlike? When she thought of it that way, it actually sounded like a lot of fun. She nodded. "I theenk it sounds good. Eet will et least get us away from the engineers." She shot the plushie cannon a hard look, then turned back to Prometheus. "I think then we are settled?" Someone handed her a necklace just as the puff of the cannon indicated yet another plushie streaming her way. She sighed and let it hit her. Some people seriously needed to learn how to grow up. Oh, the drama. Chries could hardly help himself from rolling his eyes at the display of pure PDA. He did manage to prevent himself--but it was a hard-won battle. What were he and Gany in this context? Dragons come to steal the prince away? That was silly. And reading stories to each other was for parents to do to their children. Or friends to do when they reached a really funny bit. Oh well. He had shackled himself to these melodramatics for the day. He might as well grin and bear it. It was almost making him feel sorry for Ganymede...
At this point, the normally mellow Imp's spite was starting to overflow. "I don't know, Foras. What do you think, Ganymede? I think we're pretty lucky here at darts. Should we stay, or should we go along with Foras and Alioth?" Please let us stay...I want to see how Foras reacts when we don't let him railroad us around! He reached around to pick up another dart and throw it. He didn't have much luck this time, merely winning a sparkly, glowing necklace.

Ooo, it looked like Chries might be looking to ditch him and Alioth. Maybe he was over doing it a bit too much. Or maybe Chries was feeling too much pressure to get closer to Gany. Like he was with his lovely Alioth. Who wanted to stick around and play a dart game for the whole Solstice celebration? Surely there was more to do than that. He'd love to get involved in some caroling personally.
He took his shot at the game one last time, mostly because he was curious if their only prizes were really books. The balloon he managed to pop actually rewarded him yet another plushie. He had enough of these to last him a lifetime after the Halloween party...."Here ya go Starshine, be sure to think of my when you cuddle them at night."
As he turned around again a booth not too far away caught his attention. Just when they all needed to warm up to each other, literally. "Oh hey look, there's a hot cocoa stand. Is that perfect timing, or what?" They had just been talking about it after all. Foras took Alioth by the hand this time and gently lead him over to retrieve some delicious refreshments. "You two coming?" While the question was addressed to both Chries and Gany, Foras kept he eyes on Ganymede.
