Description It was like waking up. A few minutes ago he was at a social event talking to strangers to pass time, now he was trailing numb paws through the blanket of snow. He wasn't even sure if he could remember leaving. 
He exhaled, watching the tiny flecks of snow drift through the air like silver glitter in the moonlight. Peering up at the dark canvas above him, the clouds made the sky look like a void, empty of the stars it once owned. It filled him with a melancholy feeling, the empty look of it all, but he caught sight of a small break in the clouds. Alphonse couldn't see the stars at first, but then a glimmer of light caught his attention. At first he thought it was a shooting star, until it broke past the clouds, shimmering across the dark blanket and coming closer and closer to the trees beneath before rising again. It even passed over his head, a silhouette falling on him before it shot away into the clouds in another direction, leaving Alphonse in confusion.
Had he truly just seen a sleigh?

I know the prompt centered around Noel but I just wanted something christmassy, and I'm not too bothered if it doesn't count because it was super fun ;3c Plus a chance to try out a couple things and I just really enjoyed this!!!

originally since there is only one actual character visible this would not count towards a 2 bab prompt but since this was the first prompt i am going to let it slide! you have earned x7 coins for this prompt (i gave x5 coins as a gift to everyone who entered a prompt before the 31st of december!)

As I didn't mind not counting this as an actual prompt due to not having other characters, im okay if you wanted to let this one pass on coins? I want to earn them fairly when I do! I apologise though, I'm grateful for the coins, I just don't want to think I'm earning them without right :'0

i feel like i should count it because i know a bunch of people misinterpreted what i meant in my pompt journal (i know i had piled on words and ended up typing as i went so i'm not surprised) and ended up drawing a single bab + one of the christmas companions? which technically did not fit within my rule set but because i personally felt that i had written things too convoludedly it would only be fair to let everyone earn 2 coins for a single prompt entered. 

if you would like i could give you 1 point since its 1 bab and then still gift the 5 coins from the christmas bonus? if you'd like me to completely remove you from the bank at this time i can but i do believe it would be fair for you to keep the coins since you did draw an entire bab and enter it in the prompt folder!

1 point seems fair, plus the five bonus, that way I feel less like I'm winning them unjustly haha, thank you though!! I get what you mean, I honestly thought you'd written it wonderfully! I just invisioned my bab off on his own because he's an unsocial boob like that, but was okay if it didn't count for prompt :'3
