Gamble loved the holidays. Everyone was so cheerful and friendly, the cold weather didn't bother him a bit, and there was so much delicious seasonal food around. There were many parties to attend, many old friends to visit, and overall a nice time to be had, if a bit busy.
The Houndoom was wandering through the streets of the city, a ridiculous hat on his head and a way-too-long handmade scarf around his neck. He looked less threatening than usual, but he did notice a few children give him a wide berth. They were much more likely to come over and pat him on Halloween, he supposed. Just as he was considering getting something to drink, a tavern appeared out of nowhere. Was it new? Had it been here before? He wasn't sure, but he also didn't really care. He slipped inside and went to see if they had any mint flavored liquor that he so loved this time of year.
