"Aahh... I don't know about you, Alis, but... I think I'm getting pretty tired. You wanna... maybe start working our way outta here? Maybe see if we can find Aami and Braelyn so we can get going? My feet are killing me,..."
As the imp spoke, she leaned down, rubbling gently at her feet as she tried to work past the terrible ache in her soles.
New items:
(For Keelan)
The suggestion had the young baphomet sighing. Despite themself, Alis didn't actually want to leave. The festivities were so enjoyable, and the atmosphere was to die for. Still, it would probably be better to head out before it got too busy with everyone trying to leave at once.
"Yeah, I guess we can start trying to work our way out. We can stop at some booths along the way," they said with a shrug.
The voice of the geist behind her had her blinking, turning on her heel to look up at the man, a grin curling on her lips.
"Oh! Hey Aeri," the demon said with a hum, lifting up an elbow to nudge the other teasingly. "Not too hung-over from a week full of partying to come out and enjoy the holiday with the kiddies, eh?"
New items:
The sound of the other geist had Braelyn gasping, blushing from surprise and embarassment as she turned to look at the other, only to let out a quiet sigh of relief the moment she realized who it was.
"O-oh, hey, Aerilon,"
New items:
For Gemenon
The geist gave a chuckle, stepping over to slip an arm over either woman's shoulder, sandwiching himself between them. "I've hardly been drinking at all lately, Aami. Drinking alone is not nearly as fun as some people make it out to be," he mused. "So, you ladies enjoying the festivities?"
"Oooooh! Cerys! Look at these!" the fey squealed, dragging the other freshling along towards one of the stalls. "They have little plants! Oh, they're so cute!" A wide grin broke across Nissa's face as she looked up at those behind the booth. "How can I get one of these? I need more plants in my dorm!"
New items:
As she was dragged along, Cerys sighed softly, her head shaking to herself as she started to gaze around the area silently.
New items:
(Giving to Lilianne)
Lilianne was all grumbles by that point. Oh, how badly she wanted to just get out of here,... but she couldn't. On that ever so slim off chance that Naedia did show up, she had to be here, waiting for her friend.
At least she had peppermint bark to fill her tummy in the meantime.
Decran had decided, while munching on his cotton candy, that he too wanted a bracelet like the one he was going to give Zephyr. He moved off back to the same booth and, luckily, found another one exactly like the last one he bought.
Syra
Cotton candy was Syra’s next stop. You couldn’t go to a festival without enjoying at least one thing of cotton candy. It didn’t take her too long to find a stand selling the sweet stuff.
Finnley
On the way out of the sweets booth, Finnley stopped to pick up a bag of peppermint candies. They’d have so much sweets already but what would one more bag do? He would have something to take back to the dorm with him and snack on later. He glanced to Jocey and held another bag out for her. “Want one?”
Jocey
Jocey grinned and nodded. “Sure!” She took the bag of candies from Finnley, having much of the same thoughts as he was about having a stash back at the dorms. They both moved back to the booth owner and paid for their purchase.
Ishy
Ishy had yet to buy herself a wearable trinket, something she enjoyed immensely. So when she came across a booth selling enchanted necklaces that glowed and sparkled, she couldn’t help but buy a blue one.
Tyas
Tyas' next stop was a booth of various enchanted items. A sparkling, glowing necklace caught her eye. The perfect thing to match her bright blue boa she had bought.
Vivian
Vivian made a pitstop on her way to the next booth. Her fingers were so cold (she should have worn gloves) so something to warm them up would be lovely. She waited in line and happily ordered some hot cider to tide her over.
Emine
Emy’s caretaker finally suggested that they both grab something hot to drink, to warm themselves up. So, they made a stop at a stand and she bought herself some hot coffee while Emy opted for the caramel flavored hot chocolate she heard everyone praising.
Valerian, for a lack of a better word, was very angry with his sister for making his roommate cry and run off. He had expected so much more from her honestly, like nice words and stuff like that, but instead she had been rude and made things worse! What kind of big sister did stuff like this? He grumbled, clenched his fists, and moved toward the booth that Viveka was huddled in.
"Viveka, Dahlia didn't mean to be rude like that." He said, flashing a glare up to Dahlia as she approached. "Come out from under the booth, please? The adults are going to get real mad if you don't and I don't want you to get in trouble. You don't have to talk or anything..."
Dahlia felt terrible about making Viveka cry and only felt worse when her little brother glared at her. She didn't want anyone to think she was a bully, espescially someone younger than her. Being a bully was one of the worst things you could be because no one liked being around you. You were a bad person if you were a bully, everyone was afraid of you. She didn't want that kind of label put on her!
"Yeah, listen to Valerian! I didn't mean it!" She exclaimed, faster than she could think. "I just wanted to know if he was telling the truth. Valeria likes to cause trouble and sometimes he can make up tall tales about stuff, so I wasn't trying to be me-"
Suddenly, she was on the ground, toppled by the punch that her little brother had swung at her. She stared, dumbfounded, as Valerian grabbed Viveka's hand and tugged him off into the distance. What did she say to deserve that? It was the truth! She grimaced.
"I'm telling daddy that you punched me!" She screamed, kicking at the dirt. "You're going to be in so much trouble!"
Viveka only pressed himself further into the safety of the booth when Valerian and Dahlia approached. No, he wasn't going to come out and talk to them, never ever! They'd have to drag him kicking and screaming if they wanted him! He wasn't going to talk to them, they were mean and made fun of him, just like the bullies back at home! He didn't want to go through that kind of stuff anymore! He sniffled, coughed, and whined.
Then, suddenly, he was being pulled to his feet and dragged away. He pulled back with all his might before prying his eyes open to see that it was Valerian running away with him. What was going on? What happened when he wasn't looking? He took a breath in to shout, but soon found himself sitting under a tree and watching the other boy curl toward it's bark as Dahlia screamed after them.
"... She's a big bully, just like I thought." He said, leaning toward Valerian. "Is your daddy like that or something? ... I thought you said he was nice."
Thomas had been through another sixty orders before there was finally time for him to take a breather and collect himself. It was fortunate for him, and he supposed the other two workers, that there were only a few kinds of drinks to order. Super simple things like hot apples cider were a breeze and so was hot chocolate, unless the person wanted heaps of whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and marshmallows. Then it was a balancing act just to keep it all from slipping off the lips of the cup. Who knew being a barista was so complicated? ... He looked up and shook his head. "Alright, I get it. This job isn't nearly as easy as I thought it was." He muttered, looking to the people approaching him. "I guess I should be a bit more appreciative for this opportunity. I think I've at least learned something, if not more than one thing..."
Theodora was thankful for the signs that Duma had pointed out, but even more thankful for how eager he was to hold her hand. It was almost romantic how they were walking now, like two lovers wandering down a lane together. Moments like this made her question if fairy tales really existed. It was too beautiful, too wonderful to be true. When was something going to come around and burst her bubble? There was always something...
"... Hey, Duma?" She asked, tilting her head up to look at him. "Do you want to get coffee again sometime? I mean, once Autumn and you get better acquainted and I can find the time to introduce myself to her. It would be nice to spend time with you like that again."
Duma, unbeknownst to Theodora, was feeling very much the same way she was. This little walk they were taking, though quick and with a concerning purpose, had a distinctly romantic feel that he just couldn't shake. Honestly, if birds came swooping down right at this moment and started singing some cheesy love ballad, he wouldn't be surprised. He'd be grateful for a tune to serenade this blue furred beauty with.
"Huh, coffee? Of course, I'd love to!" He chirped, nodding. "I had so much fun last time, it would be lovely to meet up there again. ... Unless you'd rather go somewhere else. It's up to you!"

Ryker just grinned again when he was caught looking at the goblin's butt. "Aww but you wiggled it so nicely, how could I possibly resist?" he said and laughed. He didn't protest as Matty took their furbaby from him. He wouldn't be able to play the game if he had a furball stuck under one arm. This game was one of those knock the pin down games and the grimm smiled. He was pretty good at these! With the ball in his hand, he made some funny and silly poses for Matty's enjoyment as he wound up and....completely missed the pins. Every single throw. "Well. Don't I feel silly?" he snorted and smiled.
Bibi pouted when she heard how Cyril had come to have his new feathered friends. "Bad birdies! You should be nice to Cyril, he's going to be the one who feeds you," she scolded the cockatriels on top of his head, fully confident that they would now behave for her new friend. His reaction to the flitterat made her extremely happy, though. She giggled and nodded as he compared them to candies. "Right?" she agreed and cuddled Nico close to her face. "Oh, I had a little luck in the games, but mostly I've been collecting bracelets! Aren't they pretty?" she asked and held her bedecked wrists out for him to see.

"Aw yeah," Sid said and laughed, dancing as he managed to pick up yet another glowing necklace. He'd have on in every color if he kept this up! Yep, that was now his goal. One glowing necklace in every color they came in. He idly entertained the idea of learning how to enchant his own jewelry so he would never run out of things that glowed. Maybe if he ever got a free second or two after he finished medical school he could take some classes at the community college for fun. He grinned at that thought. Maybe he would be able to enchant some jewelry for Corasett. He was pretty sure she'd like that.
