Anyone is welcome to join in, but I ask that you please post a picture of your Soquili in your first post >w< <3 Nostalgia rustled her delicate wings as she made her way down the riverside. This new land she had entered was far different from the cold and bleak environment she was used to. Now that the Spirits had given her full control over her own life, she no longer had to lead people back into their Christmas Pasts in hopes of them discovering the true joys of Christmas time. Now... she had no purpose.
Trying to ignore that nagging thought in her mind, she continued walking, wishing it would snow so she could find a distraction in the pretty white blurs that usually found a way to cheer her up. The locks on her ankles grew heavy, but she trudged on, attempting to forget that they lay there, a constant reminder of her past duties.
"I wonder what the Soquilis do here for Christmas time?" She wondered aloud to herself, her lavender eyes wandering across the land and the horizon.

Apple trudged his way through the soft, cold snow. Breathing a little heavily he could see his breath seep from his nostrils. Shivering a little he picked up his pace hoping to warm himself up. Looking through the snow the stallion saw a mare with chains around her back ankles. Tilting his head he thought how odd looking she was, but he too was a little odd looking with big red and green apples on his rump.
Trotting over to the river the stallion greeted the mare with a friendly "Hello there." Apple smiled looking at he wings and how beautiful they were. Tilting his head a little he looked at the odd outfit she was wearing. Shrugging a little he tossed his head a little to have his mane be put back in place. Breathing a little heavily the stallion took in a deep breath to slow his breathing down some so that he could talk to the mare.

Nostalgia was startled by the speckled stallion who had approached her from behind. But having company, she knew, would help distract her from her thoughts. Not to mention that it would be nice to meet some new friends and faces.
She noticed the stallion staring at her attire, and her wings perked up higher, showing themselves off. Hopefully the chains and dress wouldn't scare him off, as she noticed he wasn't wearing any bits of clothing, but instead, had a beautiful set of apples adorning his backend. She set her lantern down softly on the snow so she could respond.
"Hello!" She said cheerfully back, her gentle voice soothing to the ears. "How are you today?"

 Ah, the air seemed to be getting colder as each day passed by in the lands, which, to this certain stallion...was probably the best thing that the weather could pull off. It meant less stupid soquilis running around and having fun for fear of catching a cold and, of cource, it meant that the soquili that he felt most closest to came out to be seen. Smiling to himself, the earth colored stallion trotted along the riverside in hope of perhaps finding someone very interesting.
And maybe, now this was exactly what he wanted, Bairn thought as he soon found himself staring at a rather strange looking mare with long flowing black hair, clothes and the prettiest wings he'd ever seen. The mare seemed to be lost in deep thought as she stood only a few yards ahead of him, so the stallion dared not disturb her just yet, he knew what it was like to be disturbed when one was thinking.
Then he heard another voice come from the cold air, it seemed and Bairn turned his head a bit to find himself looking at a grey stallion with a silly marking on his butt. This stallion spoke kindly...and to Bairn's surprise, so did the strange mare.

Apple smiled at the mare and backed away a little seeing her a bit startled by his voice. His ears swiveled around as he listened to the mare, and the other stallion that was hidden. "I hope I didn't scare you." The stallion said in his kind voice.
Looking at her wings perking up some his smile grew some. Her wings reminded him of his mate who he loved so much. Watching her set the lattern on the ground he flicked his ears a little bit more still listening to the stallion and the mare.
"I'm great and yourself?" He asked still looking at the odd clothing she wore. Again he tilted his head some.

 It was her first Christmas since she was born and it had filled her with excitement. Many stories have been told, by the two leggers, of a man wearing red and white who would go around giving presents to those who have been good. The mare didn't really believe in these tales, but she did believe in giving gifts. Her mind was filled with things she wanted to do and what gifts to give to the ones she loved.
As she made her way through the snow covered forest, her senstive hearing caught the voices of other soquili nearby. One was familiar, she knew instantly that is was her mate, Apple. Picking up her pace, the mare trotted out near the riverside where she spotted her king and what seemed to be a strange ghostly mare.

Nostalgia watched this strange colored stallion glance around, and she looked in the direction he was staring at. Nearby, almost hidden away, stood a handsome earth-toned stallion watching them. She gave him a smile, and a tilt of her horn in greeting, and turned back towards the stallion talking to her.
"I was feeling quite a bit melancholy, but since you and your friend over there arrived, I'm feeling much better."
Smiling, she continued. "My name's Nostalgia, and may I ask what your's is?"
As she asked, she heard the familiar clomping of that of a Soquili, and turned to see a beautiful butterfly unicorn trotting their way.
"My, what a friendly place this is!" Nostalgia thought cheerfully to herself. This could turn out to be a wonderful Christmas after all.

Turning his head to the hidden stallion. He squinted to see if he knew the stallion, but he did not know him. "My friend?" Shrugging a little he just continued to listen to the mare. "Well I'm glad you feel better." He said with a smile.
Perking his ears up a little he answered the mare's question. "My name is Apple-oosa, but you can just call me Apple." He said in a very proud tone of voice. "And what is yours?"
Looking towards the mare that he knew very well he let a small nicker slip out of his throat. His queen was there which made his heart beat even faster than normal. Smiling he wanted to run over to her, but he did not want to seem rude to the mare he was talking to.

It seemed as though another soquili was joining this...happy fest, Bairn smirked to himself as he watched a pretty little mare with butterfly wings approach the grey stallion. The season didn't do as he hoped this time around, all of the hyper ones still found a way to be...hyper. Noticing that both the stallion and the strange mare took acknowledge of his presence, the earth colored stallion could only smile back.
This...ghastly mare seemed pleasent, which was strange because of the aura she happened to give off. Like a dark past followed her...it was best if none of these idiotic soquili bothered her too much...to give her space.
And their talk amused him to no end, "Friend". Like Bairn would ever lower himself to be friends with the hyper soquili. His mother told him about the grey stallion...whatever his name was. A very hyper one indeed. He wanted to leave, but the curiousity of the ghastly mare took control of his normal calm nature and he trotted over to the group.
"Pardon my intrusion." He said with a smirk. "But you, my dear, very curious." He said, nodding at the mare.

Sensing the presence of another soquili nearby, she came to a stop and looked around. Nalani looked once more to the ghostly figure speaking with Apple, the mare didn't know whether to move on closer or keep her ground. One thing for sure, she wasn't frightened, just a bit cautious. What worried her more was the soquili hiding in the forest somewhere she couldn't see.
The gentle and loving nickering of her mate let her know that it was ok to move in closer to them. Slowly she took one step at a time, until she reached them. Nalani bowed in greeting to the other mare.

Apple looked at the stallion that joined them. Not knowing that this was the mare that he met's son he smiled. "Hello there." He said hoping this stallion was kind. Starting to trot in place some Apple tried his best to get himself warm. Looking over towards his mate's direction his smile grew even bigger. It felt as though his heart were soaring in the air.
Smiling, he watched his queen mover closer to them. He could sort of tell she was a little worried, but he did not know what she was worried about. "Hello my queen." He greeted her with a smile and a soft nuzzle.

What a pleasant surprise indeed!
Nostalgia whinnied happily as the other two Soquilis made their way over to her. She suspected that the unicorn mare was mates with Apple, judging from their reactions to each other, and she noticed how the tanned stallion seemed to wince at being called Apple's "friend".
What curious horses these Soquilis were.
The brown stallion spoke, and Nostalgia smiled at his deep voice. He, she assumed, seemed like a stallion who wouldn't usually approach another one unless he had something to do with them or wanted something they had. He seemed much of a loner, rather than a talker. She figured that perhaps it was her dress and chains, and perhaps even her wings, that drew him to her.
"I suppose I am a bit... odd, for an alicorn, aren't I?" She commented pleasantly, hoping her ghost aura wouldn't be noted. The last thing she wanted was to lose these potential friends over them finding out what she really was. "But being unique is good... is it not?"
She turned to the unicorn mare and smiled at her as well, beckoning her to join in with Apple and the stallion. "And how are you doing today, my dear?"

Bairn only nodded at the newly approaching mare, which, judging by their body language and the grey stallion's comment of "queen", the two of them were mates. The comment even made him snort outloud. Ah, love, what a pittiful thing indeed...it wasn't needed...especially young love. That kind wasn't true...it didn't exactly exsist. Of cource, the earth colored stallion had it himself, but it was certainly a different kind of love.
"Hello." He said back to the Apple-behind stallion. "Like I said, I hope I'm not intruding on anything."
And then now it was time to turn his attention back to the ghastly mare. Bairn smiled at her, a warm smile which was rare for him. Her words showed him that she wasn't exactly proud of who she was, and if he was correct, her past either. "No, not odd. Just interesting. Something about-" He paused. Her aura, it stuck out to him, of cource because of who he was, but not the others. It was best to keep it quiet. "Your wings." Bairn finished and then laughed. "Unique, ah. I cannot argue with that. Never a bad thing indeed."

Nalani nickered lovingly as her adoring mate nuzzled her. She turned to the mare and smiled, "I'm well." Remembering that she had not introduced herself, she bowed in apology. "Forgive me for being rude, my name is Nalani. I see that you are new, welcome."
Her ear flickered and she felt the other stallion's eyes on her. She turned torwards him and noticed that he was looking at Apple as well. The innocent mare tilted her head. "May I ask, who are you?"

Grunting a little at the other stallion's reaction to being called Apple's friend. Shaking his head a little he smiled at the stallion. "Hello, and no you are not intruding at all." The spotted stallion said turning his attention back to the ghost-like mare.
Again his ears swiveled around a little as he listened. "Unique is very good." He answered the continued. "Normal is kind of boring." The stallion said looking at his rump that had four apples on it's one side. He looked at Nalani with a smile hoping that she was ok.
