OOC: Should we skip ahead?

OOC: Yea, we should.


"What happened during the day wasn't nearly as important as the following evening" said Anabelle, thinking long and hard about that day.


The sun had almost completely dipped into the horizon, and dusk was iminent. Belladonna sighed, looking down over where Steele and Cain resided. "Almost showtime." she said quietly, looking at the church steeple, with its bell and bellringer in position.

OOC: You're all three Ghosts, right?

Sakak nodded. "Yep," he said. "So, ever seen this trick done before?" he asked. "Anabelle gets three dogs from heaven and temporally grants them the powers to be the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come," he explained. "Then they scare some sense into the person. Those powers allow one to see everything in the Past of that person, the Present let's them see anything relavent going on at that moment, and Yet to Come can see the future that person would have if they don't change their ways," he said. "I've actually helpped out once or twice...before I kinda went nuts."

OOC: Yep.


Belladonna noded, eyes closing with a smile. "I can picture it. He's got a very expressiv face, so I don't know if i'll be able to hold bakc laughing at him." she said, with a chuckle, laying down to wait. "I wonder who Anabelle got to do the job?" she said, thinking out loud.


Cain yawned, stretching as he entered the area, shakign himself free of snow. "Just a few more hours and this day will be done, along with this inane holiday."

Anabelle nodded softly, grinning. "It has always been effective. I can't think of any instance where it didn't work."


All of a sudden, the church bell rang, sounding the dusk hour. Cain was asleep, having dozed off quickly. A thin mist covered the ground, and a tiny voice with a tiny light followed suit. "Steele?" it asked, high and sweet and cute. The light and voice came closer and closer until the mist cleared, leaving a little wolfdog puppy shrouded in a golden light. She was all too cute, with tawny brown fur, and yellow eyes. "Steele."


"Showtimen," Belladonna whispered with a grin.

"Alright, alright, I'll humor you," said Steele. "How are we going to do that?"

Sakak flew down and landed beside the Ghost. "You see, this little girl is the Ghost of Christmas Past," he explained. "And that means she's going to take you on a little trip into the past," he explained. He then looked to the pup. "Hey Anabelle wants me and Belladonna to play the bad guys, make it convensing."

OOC: Mind if I'm Steele's spirit guide, she'll mostly be talking with Anabelle about Steele's progress. Just so I have another character.

The pup nodded, and backed away slowly, as if appaled by the sight of Pakak and Belladonna. "And you're here to stop it?" she asked cutely, looking upset. she sighed, holding out her paw. "If you touch me once, you'll be like me, ghosty. When we travel back, you will not bother the timeline, and you will only be watching." she sai d softly.


Belladonna nodded, comign down slowly. "Yea, she'll show you a couple of flash backs and then you can decide if you repent or not." she explained, smirking at the pup's ocnvincing and dirty look.


OOC: Yea ^-^ Cool. But aren't we goign to have to play steele's parents at a certain point?

OOC: Here actually.

Steele looked hesitant but slowly reached out and touched the pup, seeing his body become transparent. "Huh?! What's going on?!"

"Exactly what she said, genius, you're ghostly." said Sakak, rolling his eyes.

A fox spirit watched with Anabelle. "So, think he'll actually listen? I've been working my tail off trying to get through to him for the longest time."

OOC: Heh heh


The pup giggled at Steele, looking very cute. "Now do you believe me? Come on, we're burning night light." she said, and closed her eyes. Both her and steele lifted off the ground. "we're goign back, way back, to when you were little, in the town you were born." she said, and a hole opened up, a hole of bright lgihtly, tataking his paw, the little wolfdog led him through.


Belladonna chuckled, following. "you really are dense aren't you?" she askedeyes burnign at hole thorugh steele, looking deep within.


Anabelle nodded, looking serious. "that's why I called for this. He need to remember who he was, what he is, and what he wil become, and what will become of those around him."

Steele followed the pup through the portal, ignoring Belladonna as best he could. He looked around, seeing the town he was born in, himself as a pup with his parents. "Oh yeah, I remember this...it was back when I was just a pup...this was the last Christmas I actually enjoyed."

OOC: Want me to be his mom? Also, maybe puppy Nicki, Kaltag, and Star should be here too.

Sakak sighed. "Yeah, and there I am," he said, pointing to himself throwing a water balloon down a chimney and putting out the fire. He laughed. "Classic!"

"Yeah, I guess." said the fox. "But still, he's a stubbon one, you've got your work cut out for you."

OOC: Sure and it seems like it would be a good idea for them to be in there too.


"we're in Nome," said the pup, and looked at the puppy steele with a smile. There was a rather pretty dog nuzzling him, with black and white fur and blue eyes. "What a nice family. your Mama's pretty." she commented, looking very happy to watch them. The pup pointed to the collars his parents wore, that looked much like the collar Steele used to wear when he was lead dog. "What are those for? They look important."



Belladonna laughed softly, grinning softly. She gagged a little at the all too loving scene before them. "Gah, gross." she said, makign a gagging noise.


Anabelle scoffed, sighing. "I'm sure I can manage. I've cracked harder nuts."
