Emma was very unhappy about being left behind at the dorms by Laurel, again. They'd told him to wait just five more minutes while they found a scarf to wear and what did he do? He grabbed his coat and raced out the door as usual! The purple haired demon puffed out their cheeks and almost ignored the offer of a drink, before actually taking the time to look around at everything that the festival had set up. ... It was just a bunch of booths and games, not anything unusual or new. They huffed.
"Huh, what?" Emma squeaked when suddenly presented with the bright green Skyfish. "I... I don't know, I already have one and a salamander. Taking any more fish in could be too much work..."
Their voice trailed off as the Skyfish looked up to them, almost pleading with them to take them home. ... Was this how Laurel felt about Vespercats? Good grief, his hoarding habits were rubbing off on them!
"Okay, but I can only take one home!" They announced, giving the Skyfish a pat. "Unlike you, Laurel, who will probably take another twenty cats home before I can stop you!"
Cam smiled "I wish I had a green thumb, not my talent. I'm good at knitting and sewing." Cam said warmly. "Yes I've been going here since I was very young, I go to visit my family as often as I can, but yes I was sent here as a freshling. I think it's a warm, nice place with good teachers. I'm sure there will be rude, hurtful beings, but I have not met many myself."
She smiled "Good" she said in reference to acting as his guide. Then turned to the game to play balloon darts with Fig. She then thought a moment at his question. "Do you want to go get candy canes instead??"
Lame post is lame, all my RP partners can just ignore this as shameless prize snagging.
Alioth waved goodbye to Gany and Chries, accidentally snagging a reindeer headband. Grinning, the fallen placed it on his head and smiled at Foras. The jingling might get annoying later, but right now the fallen liked it.
Julie tried the game again and won herself another plush before following shannon. She had already gotten a couple, and didn't know what she was going to do with them. Maybe a quick trip back home later to unload and then come back?
Mani overheard a yipping that kinda sorta sounded like jingle bells. Looking over, there was an adorable fennikit sitting next to him. Mani offered a candy cane and pet his new friend.
Kieran was handed a snowglobe by a vendor. What on earth were they supposed to do with this thing? Shaking it, they watched the 'snow' dance around the scene. Maybe they'd give it to Phe, she'd probably like it.
Tsukiyomi was handed a plushie from a passing senior. People were just giving them away now, since so many plushies seemed to be getting shot through the air.
Nymeria had just entered the event. She was pleased that the first thing she got was a stocking and a bunch of candy canes. It was her first solstice event, and she was going to love it if they kept giving her free candy.
“Oh really?” Frey commented. He was kind of actually pleased at that, not wanting to really look into it all that much. “Yeah I went through the last couple of festivals by myself. It got kind of boring after a while. I don’t mind accompanying in exploring”. As ash kept talking Frey let out a rare little smile as they mentioned gifts. He had seen the attempt at gift giving a cople of times. “Ah well mostly just plushies… like this one” It was then he pulled out his newest plushie he had just actually won before spotting Ash.

"Sorry Lace I got distracted by apparently my new familiar. Before we go spoiling me with gifts I do believe I owe you a hug” Samhain commented and made sure to hug his girlfriend. With a smile, because he knew by now he accepted the bracelet and moved it on to his own wrist. “We do in fact match” well not really but it was the thought that counted. Lace definitely liked spoiling him and he was glad he found her. Now he just needed to run into Nymeria again. As he was figuring out just how to get his two girls together he totally missed the plushie ninja dropping another plushie into his bag.

Aleis sat in the tree and watched the passerby’s. They had grabbed another plushie. This time from winning a game and wondered if they should possibly try to snag some random person to check out the festival with. After all it was kind of boring all alone. Then again Aleis could grab all the plushies that they wanted and no one would give them a look for being too old. Well it definitely had possibilities if nothing else. The question was, what did Aleis want to do know. Maybe she could grab one of those free books. Reading was always nice after all. Faust hated mingling but everyone had to come out for the winter festival and faust was admitting that their dorm room needed some new decoration, except for Faust couldn’t manage to win a plant. In fact they kept winning plushies. Ah well plushies where always nice to cuddle up with in bed. Faust had gotten one of those rare single rooms, although truthfully as an exchange student Faust was hoping more for a roommate so that they could make friends. With a sigh they looked around and wondered if maybe they would have better luck managing to grab a book than a plant. Ah well they wouldn’t know unless they got up off the bench. Giving the plushie one last hug faust placed their new friend in their bag.
Gaius tilted his head along with the movement of the globe as Eilwen turned it, watching the little particles inside shimmer and trickle down so gracefully. It was so pretty, and calming... giving a peaceful vibe, that even made Gaius' lids droop a little with content.
Yet his attention and interest was instantly torn away and focused on the chimera instead when she presented an explanation for the globes creation. Eyes widening with how impressed he was, the little geist gave a wide grin to his friend, "How'd you know about all that, Eilwen?" while he knew the girl to be smart, this was some pretty specific detailed stuff! Glancing back to the orb, he gathered a possible answer beforehand, "Have you made something like this before?"

Silas followed willingly with the escorting done by Caper, eyes diligently looking about them, the fluffy fox prancing along with the pair. There weren't any sights of the bird, that was certain... had someone else gotten ahold of it...? too afraid to voice such a worriesome idea aloud, he nervously peeked to Caper, his brows drawing with distress of their own.
Pressing his lips, he gently gave a weak squeeze to their joined hands, timid voice stammering up, "w-we just have..t-to keep looking..." he tried to assure. After all there were lots of trees and bushes that the bird could find a nice place to hide in.
But with the sudden exclamation from the Geist, Silas himself jumped as well, his little heart racing. Yet it calmed when the bird they were searching for was pointed out! perking up, he gripped the crumbs that were in his other hand. Maybe these would help once they were close enough... As they got closer and closer, the little Litch carefully unfurled his balled up hand to give a little toss to sprinkle some of the cookie crumbs along the ground near them, whispering faintly, "h-have to... get close c-car-refully..."
"Cool! So you're going to help people who have booboos and are sick?" Arya smiled at his new friend. While it wasn't something he wanted to do, it was occasionally fun to play doctor.
"Yep! I get to draw as much as I want it seems." he said to Piper before he got slightly distracted by another necklace light.

Nikora smiled back, pleased that Hailey liked her gift. "Welcome!" Her smile grew when she saw the pretty and adorable familiars following the Charmstar and Malachi. "Looks like you made even more friends today!" she said happily and then excepted some candy canes that had been passed out by a passing Nightmare.

Something solid hit the side of Taegan's head and as they scrambled to catch it, they realized it was another book. Huh, this one looked interesting. They would get more use out of the Dark Alchemy book they got before, but they supposed if they had free time, they'd read this one. While they were distracted, something else came flying at their head. At least this one was softer. A blue wintery plush.

She smiled happily, already bouncing a bit with each step. "Oh, hot cocoa sounds yummy," she cooed as she popped another piece of peppermint bark in her mouth. With her other hand, she offered another piece of Cyril. She giggled when he ducked the cannon. "Those cannons are so much fun though! And you get such cool prizes. Like that plush!" Bibi loved plushies. If she could fill her whole room with plushies, that would just be so perfect! Especially if they were pink,be cause pink was totally the best color ever! Not that other colors weren't cool, cuz Cyril had some awesome colors on him, too. "Okay, so! Hot chocolate for Cyril," she giggled and looped her arm with his, half dragging him to where she'd seen the hot drinks table. "I like tea, too, do you like tea, Cyril? I'm not a big fan of coffee, though. But cocoa is awesome!! Especially with those mini marshmallows in it. Do you like the mini marshmallows?" She was definitely babbling, but babbling was okay, right? Right. Just before they reached the hot drinks table, Bibi was distracted by....candyfloss. Because the already hyper geist needed more sugar. "Oooh look it's mystery flavor!!" she exclaimed before buying some for herself and tearing a piece off. "Wanna try it?" she asked, holding a fluffy piece out for him before bouncing toward the hot drinks table.

Lestari snagged a bag of peppermint and spearmint candies for herself. She had seen the bow on the bag and couldn't resist; she could totally make an outfit based on that bow. Bright red, fluffy skirt with torn edges maybe. Skull bow in the back with a matching hairbow. Ugh. So yes. Smiling happily to herself, she popped a piece of candy in her mouth.

Drayden wandered around a bit and played a couple games. His favorite was the ball game where you tossed little balls in hoops. He actually won that one, and got himself a plushie with orange candy canes. Yum~ He tucked the plushie under one arm and popped the end of a cane in his mouth.
After picking up the jackalope plush, Cyrill took the proffered candy. He'd have to see about getting some of his own soon. "I guess they are?" He said doubtfully. "I just don't need quite so many of them. I haven't been here more than an hour and I've already gotten four of them." Popping the candy into his mouth, he adjusted his things so he could somehow manage to get the new toy inside as well.
A garbled noise slipped out of him when he was suddenly dragged over to the hot chocolate booth. "Yeah, tea is pretty good. Coffee is ok in small amounts and the best kind of cocoa is homemade with tons of marshmallows in it." Halfway to the booth he was released and a plush got shoved into his arms. "Bibi--" he started to protest before realizing that it was someone else that had thrust it upon him and the geist had gone to get candy. "S-sure?" he stammered, taking a bit of fluff and handing her the plush instead. "Here, it. . looks kinda like your new pet?" His offer was half question, as if he didn't expect her to accept it. To cover his awkwardness, he reached over and snagged a cup of hot chocolate from the stall.

gifting to Bibiana~ Sorry, you're gonna get quoted on this one quite a few times as I fill in the various peeps I have running around the festival orz
It wasn’t very much to get the bag of peppermint and spearmint candies and Isabelle was happily sucking on one already by the time she walked away. The rest of the bag got stashed into her stocking and she scanned the crowd as she had been for most of the festival. There wasn’t anyone in particular she recognized just yet, but there was bound to be someone from her classes at least.
A quick matching game earned her a cute green vespercat plush that she tucked into her bag. If things continued at this rate, she was going to have a large plush collection hanging out in her corner of the room. Not that it was a bad thing, but she liked having space for her hobbies.

Mulling over the problems that her new familiar caused her, it was a surprise when Elliah noticed the kidden that was happily munching on some of the decorations. “Hey, no, stop that!” she startled herself when she spoke to it. The red kidden paused its’ munching for a moment to stare at her. Then, without a second thought, it trotted up to her and baa’d. There was a tinsel boa draped around it’s neck, but there was no indication that anyone owned the poor little thing.
With those big eyes looking at her so plaintively, Elliah couldn’t help herself. Looks like she’d managed to get yet another pet this evening. Hopefully it would be the last. She wasn’t sure what she would do if she came home with too many more new pets. Her roommates already had a couple themselves. . .

Wyrrda's admiration of her new toy had Kanda beaming with pride. "Mhm!" she nodded. Looking between Wyrdda and the toy, a sudden thought occurred to her. "It looks a little like you, all brown and stuff!" she signed. Her mug sat carefully out of the way and her stocking rested on the bench beside her. "He has a friend whose teaching him, and I have a couple teachers that I go to. Vüsala says neither of us know enough to teach one another yet, but he tries really hard to learn it when he's not doing his medicine stuff," Kanda explained.
Her eyes grew wide at the offer of the plushie. "Can I really have it?" she asked, ears flicking back a bit shyly. "Are you sure you don't want one. Or we could trade!" she offered, knowing that Wyrdda had liked her other fox plushie. The small potted plant that was shyly slid her way was for the most part unnoticed for now.

It had taken much longer than he had planned to take all the various trinkets back to the hotel they were staying at. Halfway there, it occurred to him that he could have simply spelled the stockings to hold the larger items and not bothered with the trip. Sighing, he had made the trip as fast as he could, separating the trinkets into two piles. Most of the goodies were going to Kanda anyway, but this way it didn't seem like such a hassle.
As soon as he got back to the festival, he learned Kanda had not stuck in the same small area he'd left her in. While he was looking around, not quite worried just yet, someone dropped a pink glowing necklace over his head. The offending object glowed merrily regardless of the dirty look he gave it. Since whoever had given it to him hadn't stuck around, he didn't bother with the thank you either.
Edel and Rhiannon made their way to the next booth. It had a large table with countless cups dotting its surface. This time it was Rhiannon that walked up and asked the booth staff,”What do we do at this booth?” “You toss a ball into a random cup. There’s unlimited tries to get the ball in a cup, so you’re always guaranteed a prize.” The staff person replied. “I’ll try first,”, said Edel, grabbing a few small ping-pong type balls. Tossing them one at a time at the army of cups before her, it tended to bounce off of the rims of the cups, further bouncing off of the table. On her third try, a ball finally bounced into a cup. The booth runner reached over to retrieve the ball. Looking inside the cup, they announced.”You won…a book!” Edel couldn’t have been happier! Looking at the book cover after it was placed in her hands, Edel was intrigued by the image of the embracing couple. How romantic! Skimming through the pages though, it featured very tiny text with words that she didn’t quite understand. This is perhaps another book that she’ll have to save for later.
Rhiannon went up to take her turn as well. Holding the batch of ping-pong balls in one hand, and with a light underhand swing she tossed one of balls with the other. And it landed in a cup! And on her first try too! The booth worker once again retrieved the ball, and looking into the cup, they announced: “You won… A bag of mint candies and…a plushie!” Rhiannon smiled widely at her prize. Sweets and a plush! Of the plushie selection the booth had, she picked out a cute medium-sized purple fennekit, which she hugged in her arms. Her luck had finally come in!
Hailey happily accepted some candy canes as well. They looked too yummy to pass up! As she was unwrapping them to share with everyone, Charmstar was leaving. "Awww! Does he have to go?!" she asked, giving a big pout as she waved bye back to him. "Well that sucks..." With a sigh, she held up the bunch of candy canes, pulling one out for Nikora. "One for you~" she said, giggling as she hung it off of Nikora's horn. "And one for you~" she said, this time hanging the candy cane off Malachi's ear, giggling even more.
And what should start floating on past her face, but another wisp! "Oh gosh you guys! Let's catch it!" she exclaimed, giggling as she followed after it.
Malachi gave a sad look at first when Charmstar had to leave, but then smiled as he waved bye to him. "Thanks for hanging out with us. See you later~" No sooner did he finish saying good bye, did he feel something on his ear... "What the... ?" he said, grabbing the candy cane and giving Hailey a look. He was trying to go for a 'that's not funny!' sort of thing, but ended up trying not to laugh because it really was.
And as Hailey began to follow the wisp, he smiled to Nikora and nodded in the direction Hailey was going. "Wanna try catching it, too?" he asked. But before he followed after Hailey, he grabbed up a cup of hot chocolate, too. He was really thirsty! And now to follow Hailey!

After a good deal of wandering about, two slowly cooling cups in paw, Dodger just couldn't remember where it was that he and Eileen had been! "Crap... this is as bad as being late to a date!" Oh where, oh where could his girlfriend be was running through his head on repeat... that is until he saw a stand with a ton of different bracelets! A black one with snowflakes caught his attention in particular. "If you wouldn't mind, my fine fellow, might you help a guy out and hoop that on my ear?" he asked with a goofy grin. As he got a weird look, but with a nod, Dodger tilted his head and the bracelet was hooked on him, now. And just as he was turning around, who should he see [[but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer! XD]], but Eileen. "Finally!" Rushing over, he held out the mug to her, grinning like the goof he was. "Here yah go! Sorry if it's not-so-hot chocolate now. I got a bit lost on the way back.

Feeling disappointed in the fact that there were no more new books to be had, Bobbi debated heading back home. Yes, there were many other things that could be done right now, but they really didn't feel of interest. On xyr way to pick up the familiars that had become attached to xyr, the Litch noticed a holiday stand. Deciding to at least give it a look before heading home, xe strolled on over. There was quite a bit to this stand, and even books as well, Although xe had found all that was offered here, Bobbi decided to peer through them anyways. Turning pages and skimming the words printed on them made the Litch feel contented. As xe picked one more up, Bobbi noticed something that had been sitting behind the book in hand... it was an old, worn cover, but with a well known illustration! Swapping the books quickly, a surprisingly big smile crept across Bobbi's face as xe held it to xyr chest. Yes... This might very well be the last book to be found at this festival, but it was a treasured find~
Cimara picked up a nice looking plant to take back to this apartment. He rather liked it and the paint on the pot. He parted ways with the imp for he sat next to and wandered off. Cimara wandered about, looking for something else to do, or someone who might caught his interest.
Camrine thought on Fig's question "I've made, hats, scarfs, sweaters, blankets.. I'm still learning more patterns and more complicated designs. It does take practice and patients." she said with a nod. Cam sighed missing her family as she answered, hoping to one day start her own family group. "Far enough away that I don't get to see them very often." Camrine smiled and said "How about we get candy canes at that booth?? And then go play at the dunk a Nixie booth??"

Glykeria shrugged as she walked along, she guessed the demon geist wasn't interested in making friends. She won another game and stood trying to figure out what plushie she wanted. She stood there in front of the booth, biting her lip thinking.

Aeon bid Ami farewell. Aeon went to find another game to play, since she was on her own again, but she wasn't sure what she wanted to play. Then when she found a pick up the toy Aetherjelly game. She won a plushie, but then she wasn't sure which plushie she wanted to chose. Instead Aeon let a freshling pick and gave the plushie to the little one with a smile.
Coco nodded and smiled happily "Ok let's try to find a teach and play a lot of games, I've gotten some pretty treasures from playing different games, and even was given a gift for helping in the face painting booth." Coco looked around and wondered what game they should play.
Lavender Hues
Coco will be giving this plushie to Milo, once we figure out what game they play.
Gwen picked a cotton ball out of the bin, they felt cold which she found strange and was curious how they had achieved the effect. Magic or science?? She pondered, not really thinking about the plushie she was suppose to be picking. She might forget in general, in her pondering of science and magic.
As Mytrax headed back to her dorm room, she passed by a booth offering books. Given the current titles of books she had, the chimera decided adding one more to her collection. She picked one at random and stuffed it into her stocking. She didn't stay long, the familiar was getting antsier and she hurried along.
---------------
Though she kept a smile firmly on her face, the chimera wasn't making any eye contact with anyone. Absently, she'd reached for a bucket of enchanted cotton balls and was enjoying the cool feel in her palms while she said from the corner of her mouth, "I don't really know what you can do with these but they feel fun~"
Something nudged at her leg and looking down showed a little fennekit. "Oh hey cutie~"

To make up for having to leave early, Charmstar's caretaker let him pick a plushie as well as another brick of brittle.

"I'm glad," the chimera said, all smiles and good cheer. She snagged some more candy canes and was treated to another plushie. It was then she looked down at her stocking and with a tilt of her head realized, "Oh my, I seem to have a lot stuff. I think I need to put them away."
She held her hand out for a handshake, "I'm gonna go now~" she explained. Her wings unfurled and the dreamy expression on her face sharpened, "Take care and enjoy yourself."

Lilan gingerly stroked his new plush, showing it all his attention, and acting as if it was FAR better than hers. But man did he want one of those big puffy ones... No matter, there was still time to grab one later.
Side-eyeing the adult from time to time, still showing her how unimpressed and displeased he was with her, the little Litch found his attention veering back to another table nearby. There'd been a twinkle that'd caught his eyes, revealing to show shiny bell earrings lined up. He could see them through the little windows that the larger Nightmares would create as they came and went... and he wanted a pair for himself.
Glancing to Estys again, he lifted his nose up, "Lilan.." he replied, without returning the question. Instead he marched on over to the neighboring booth to get on his tiptoes and reach for the desirable earrings he'd spied seconds ago.
