UGLY SWETTER CONTESt
Harrowheart has fashioned himself some kind of lumpy snow chair, where he sits next to a sign of questionable literacy and gets busy smoking a cigarette. One of many, judging by the number of butts in the snow near his armrest. His phone sits on his lap playing various holiday songs from worlds across the multiverse. If the mixup is to be trusted, there are a lot of worlds listening to Mariah Carey.
In dripping red paint the sign behind him reads 'UGLY SWETTER CONTEST'.
Does that explain why he's dressed in a gaudy red-and-green sweater with a misshapen reindeer sewn to the front? Maybe, but you never know with him and fashion. When he moves, the googly eyes on the poor deer's face jiggle and its pom-pom nose flops sadly. Along one arm someone has embroidered 'HAVE A HAPPY,' and on the opposite, 'WINTERVEIL.'
He watches people pass and now again decides to explain, "Where I come from, when it's Winterveil – which it is right now – folks got this tradition of wearin' ugly sweaters and singin' songs. I probably ain't goin' home this Winterveil, but I kinda miss seein' that, y'know? So I got a proposition for ya: Show me your ugliest sweater, and I'll give you somethin' to make it worth your while. Deal?"

And Harrow's sweater deserves particular admiration: "Didn't we scare off all the evil spirits back at Halloween?"

Ah, the fire-bot. Reynard owes her more than a bit of payback. Her little friend looks more than a little like a perfect target. With a glance around Reynard finds himself surrounded by the perfect inspiration.
Sneaking up on people as a spirit is reasonably easy, but he still stays low before he pounces. In one swift motion a perfectly fitting tea cosy is pulled over Ghost and the Winter spirit vanishes in a puff of snow to escape any repercussions.

Blaze catches him in one hand and uses a finger to lift the woolly covering from over Ghost's optic. "Didn't know you were feeling so festive, Ghost."
"
What? What happened?"no subject
"Blaze and Ghost! Oh, don't worry this is different. These spirits are happy spirits, at least I think they're happy spirits." Not that The Doctor believes in such a thing. And he plops the big sack of gifts down in the snow, and he quick goes to dig around for pair of gifts.
"And the best part of this time of the year is the presents, and of course the ugly sweaters."
no subject
"
I hope you're enjoying the festivities, Doctor. We haven't had time to take in the celebrations back home." A glance at Blaze, there.She returns the look with a grunt, turns her attention back to the Doctor. "Need a hand with that, uh, sack?"

And don't think Ghost's new woolly hat doesn't go unnoticed. "Love the new hat. It looks very treey. That is a word right? Treey. If it isn't it is now."
no subject
"
Thank you, although I... still don't know where it came from." Ghost peers up at the woolly bundle wrapped around his shell - he still can't see it, either, which is probably for the best. "Are you delivering those presents somewhere?"no subject
The Doctor points his finger towards a nicely decorated Christmas tree. And he dances about in his spot. Still smiling, The Doctor rubs his hands together as he looks up at Ghost. "Well whoever chose it, they chose well, Ghost. And I'm starting to think that we should make sure you have a collection of festive and fun hats."
Then he looks to Blaze. "And I hope that you're also enjoying the festivities."

Well, I have the unicorn hat Steve gave me, and now this... one. Whatever it is. That seems like the start of a collection." Ghost sounds a bit bemused, if only at the thought of having a collection of anything. Personal gifts and possessions have not hitherto been a significant feature of his experiences.Blaze looks up from obligingly setting the sack of presents under the tree. She can't resist a chuckle at the Doctor's exuberance. "Not a lot of time for joining in the celebrations, Doctor - unless you count our usual kind of fun and games. But yeah, I like seeing everyone so happy. Whether it's in the name of the Dawning or Hanukkah or Christmas or something else, it's good to see."
