The Emperor wanted a great celebration for the New Year and the parade was to be the centre of it. With fireworks and a large procession it garnered a lot of attention, in this world and beyond.

The Chameleon arrived at the snowy lands and seeing all in white and blue changed her look without further ado.

They can’t see beyond sweets and mischief; at all times not just now, actually. Where to find it? Perhaps going for some good old classic ingredients would do. Nothing like a good, old scare after all.
