“Where are we going??”
Rust coloured orbs narrowed, slanting over his shoulder to better glare at the thing trailing him for the better part of a week. Eye See You's ears folded, scraping against the smooth curves of his horns while his tattered wings quivered in their place against his sides.
Oh, how he longed to take to the sky in order to evade this… this monstrosity bounding along behind him as if he were it's saviour, yet he could not. With holes in his wings, he couldn't lift himself from the ground, much less strike out across blizzardous skies.
Sharp claws dug into the frozen ground with step, the charm fastened to his harness glowing an ethereal amber in its efforts to radiate enough heat to warm the dragon trudging through mounds of snow. The sound of hooves clip-cloping along behind him would die off every now again, stoking the fire of hope suffocating in his chest until, after some time, they would once again sound in the air about him.
“Seeeeeeeyyyuuuuuuuuu,” the pony whined behind him, making his teeth clench. “Don't be such a grump! It's snowing, see!?”
“I'm very aware of that.” His tail lashed behind him, catching the unwanted companion under her jaw with enough force to snap her mouth shut before anymore brilliant observations flooded from her.
It didn't seem to work as well as he had hoped, seeing as how the brightly pelted unicorn had bounced her way to his side. “So smile and tell me where we're going!”
Seeyu rolled his eyes, choosing to only growl and keep his gaze forward instead of answer. Perhaps if he stopped trying to fight it, she would go away. Though, as he watched her bounce out in front of him and hold her tongue out to catch snowflakes drifting serenely from the sky, he knew it was too much to ask of whatever deity controlled such things. As much as he loathed the idea, he was sure he was irrevocably stuck with this idiot.
“You! Thing!” He called into the chilled air, amusement shining in his rusted gaze when the unicorn stopped, brightly coloured mane flipping in the wind when she turned to look at him. “Come here.”
Unsurprisingly, she came to him, all smiles and tripping over her own hooves in her haste to uncover just why he suddenly wanted something of her.
Without a word, he slipped one of his bags off and dropped it rather harshly around her neck before continuing on his way. There was silence for a moment before the skitter of hooves on ice and, just as quickly as she'd appeared, she was at his side again.
“Soooooooo what's in the bag?”
“Mm. That is for everyone at this festival to find out, now isn't it?”
The unicorn tilted her head, glancing once down at the bag hanging about her neck, before grinning up at him. “You brought stuff for the festival!? How sweet, Seeyu!”
Unable to look at her, he turned his gaze forward again. A smirk curled his lips when Winterbloom came into view, alight and bustling with ponies from all over. He knew this was the perfect place to begin a new game, and now… now all he had to do was find a few players.

“Ewwwhhhh. Why is this bag leaking?” Blepicorn whined as she placed the aforementioned sack on the ground, eying the viscus liquid as it seeped from the canvas bottom.
“I told you to be careful with it.” The dragon across from her growled, tail lashing wildly in his irritation.
The unicorn frowned, poking her tongue out at his eye covered back before prodding one hoof against the offending object again. “But what is it?”
“That, little ponderous pony, is…” His voice trailed away as he turned, a sharp grunt alerting her of his displeasure at seeing his things ruined before he continued, “was an item of particular interest to a party willing to pay good money. Alas, that offer seems to be washing away.”
The purple pony snickered slightly, amused by how stoic the dragon could remain. Especially when she just knew he was probably dying to tear her a new one or abandon her in the middle of a town she didn't know. Whichever came first.
Deciding it best not to provoke him further, so she scooted his bag closer to him with a sheepish grin before dashing off as if her life depended on it. The charm about her neck bounced against her chest while she trot down snow blanketed roads, gazing wondrously at the mix of glittering bulbs and crystalline spider webs adorning the windows of one shop.
The odd mix of spooky and festive filled her small frame with warmth and excitement, prompting an ever faster pace along the streets. Honestly, though, she should be careful, considering Blep had a habit of clumsiness.

The icy chill of the wind cut through Blepicorn's pelt with ease despite the charm about her neck glowing a vivid amber. She shivered as she walked, still drinking in every bustling sight and sound she could. The cold seeping into her bones made her teeth chatter, her legs shaking with every step.
“Charm not doing its job, little lady?”
Blep blinked, turning vibrant green orbs to the pony that spoke to her. They stood beside a stall, scarves hanging from meticulously arranged racks.
The pony continued when they knew they had her attention. “Why not grab one of our scarves? Made with the best material you can find and,” they leaned a little closer, lifting a hoof beside their mouth while they whispered conspiratorially, “they smell like cookies! My partner was up all night baking and the whole house smelled like it!”
Blep giggled while the pony laughed warmly and stepped closer to the stall. The pony grinned and went to reach for the rainbowed scarf, but the unicorn shook her head. Instead, she pointed toward the green and red striped scarf.
“Could I have that one?”
“Of course!” Without a moment's hesitation, the pony reached over and pulled one down, wrapping it around her neck in a quick few loops. “There you go! Hope you enjoy the rest of the festival now!”
The purple pony grinned, though it went unseen as the striped material (which did smell of gingerbread and icing, just as they'd said) covered her mouth and nose as well as her neck and a portion of her shoulders. With a wave, she turned and began her trek again, this time with a purpose.
She'd spotted a stand handing out drinks just a few yards away and it was calling her name.
Once there, Blepicorn decided to get in line for a mug of hot cocoa (mostly because the pony handing out eggnog seemed a little scary). The line moved surprisingly fast and before she knew it, she was walking away with a skull shaped mug of steaming cocoa complete with adorable ghost marshmallows in hoof.
Now she just needed to find somewhere to sit and sip her drink!
In her search, she spotted a pony sitting by themselves with a pumpkin shaped mug and, being the bouncy unicorn she was, trotted right up to them.
“Hi!” She sang with a grin, standing in front of the other pony so as not to startle them. “Did you get some eggnog?” She leaned in, throwing a glance over her shoulder before lowering her voice. “Was the vendor pony scary? I heard them pretty much barking at everypony!”
Suddenly, she broke off with a gasp, “Do you think they could be a werepony!? That might be why they're so grumpy!”

Reaper licked his lips, he and his tail both knew there were delistios treets a foot. How could a glutton like him resist, he smell of gingerbread overwhelmed his senses just as much as the smell of the evergreens. This wasn’t exactly his kinda holiday, but the creepy factor added to the appeal. “ man I’m hungry, feels like I haven’t ate in a while” he knew that wasn’t the case but he made his move looking for the food. So he could fill his craving of both him and his tail. He snatched a few cookies and began to devour them without a second thought. Even if a few crumbs landed on his incredible long hair, that had grown out in the last year.
After filling his atomic with some teats, he began to wonder, his paws leaving primts in the snow behind him as he looked at the lights, the games and. The other winter whimsical sights he came across. The sound of the rest of his cookie snapping in his jaws.”What to do. Who to see” he stalked Behind the snow covered bushes his tail snapping its jaws like a hungry nom-nom. He came to a stop as he wasn’t quite sure what to do, no acceptances, no friends, before he left to travel he had never really had the chance to make friends or get to know anyone, he scoffed and wondered of leaving the Sean of others enjoying one another’s company at least for a moment till he knew what he would want to do.

After ensuring nothing else in the bag he'd entrusted to that vile unicorn had broken, Eye See You gathered his things, and once more set off. He was well aware of the small purple pony darting about amongst the crowd, taking note of her position and adjusting his course as he saw fit.
Could he leave her here? Most definitely.
Would he? Possibly.
Should he? Of course he should. She had been nothing but a thorn in his side since she'd seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
So why was it that he couldn't bring himself to step beyond the boundaries of the town and disappear in the sheets of snow and ice to the distance? Perhaps he was going soft like those cream filled candies he enjoyed so much.
Then again, perhaps it was simply because the unicorn presented an opportunity. One he'd be a fool to pass up and Seeyu may have been many things, but never a fool.
With a rumbling growl and the shriek of claws grinding against stone, the dragon swung his body back toward the fluctuating crowds. His rust coloured orbs held the gaze of everypony brave enough to look him in the eye and each time, the other looked away first. It was expected.
What was not expected, however, was the discovery of a member of a certain breed clinging to the edges of the festival. Their form crawled through shadows, dipping throughout the stalls and stores without being seen near expertly. Curious and intrigued, the dragon moved closer, holding his head high when the other chose to look his way.
“My, my. What do we have here?” His tone was smooth and low despite the smirk curling his lips while he stood before the veridian treat snatcher. “Decided to play a game of chance with the crowds?”

[**quote="-Ghastly Demise-"]
[**quote="Bluedemonwolf"]I apologize for Eye See You in advance. He's, ah, not nice, to say the least.
Tattered wings folded neatly against his sides nearly as fluidly as the dragon shrugged, dismissing the forest hued ghoulie's petty crimes for what they were. He wasn't interested in dessert thievery, nor was he looking to be the ‘goodie two-shoes’ kind of pony he saw at every turn. What intrigued him was the ghoulie themselves and this one… well, this one seemed to be his type of companion.
“Perhaps,” he murmured with a grin that would make most souls tuck tail and run. He liked to think it because he made them uneasy, though it was more likely his smile simply looked off-putting.
The dragon stood perfectly still, tail swaying and thumping the piles of snow scattered about the ground, while the other male circled him, no doubt sizing him up. It was to be expected, though it didn't stop the slow spread of his smirk across his lips.
“Tell me,” he began, sauntering a slow circle around the other with large claws digging ruthlessly into the snow beneath his shifting weight. “Had there been no shadows, would you still have come?”
He stopped to his side, lifting a claw to flick more crumbs from the cascade of hair tumbling from the ghoulie's head, before continuing his trek around him to stop once more in front of him.
Seeyu's lips parted to utter another question but snapped his jaw shut when the frantic sound of pawsteps behind him caught his attention. A low growl rumbled on his chest while he turned his gaze toward the newcomer, having expected a flash of colorful purple to invade his vision.
He was quite pleasantly surprised when his gaze landed on a dual tailed ghoulie, though his pleasure quickly died when the other spewed their brilliant observations of the two. His jaw clenched, nose wrinkling in distaste at their obviously bouncy attitude. When they turned to him, he snarled openly, baring sharp fangs while he spoke.
“Be they real or not, your tongue shouldn't wag where it is unwanted.”
Mutated ghoulie or not, this being rubbed Eye See You the wrong way and pleasantries all but disappeared from his attitude. His ears laid back on his head, flattening against the curves of his horns when he narrowed his eyes at the other ghoulie.
