EVENT: Iksay Harvest Festival

[1000_npcs]

The day of the Harvest Festival has fallen upon Iksay, and the atmosphere has never felt more cheery for such an early noon. As one would expect of the traditional festival, extensive preparations have been made, and it's the first time in a long while that anyone has seen Iksay brimming with such energy ever since it got raided in that fateful surprise attack.

Upon entering the small village, one would immediately notice the colourful decorations, as well as the banquet in the town center. The sound of upbeat music can be heard louder with each step taken towards the festivities. The townspeople are friendly to outsiders, but watch out, you might get whisked away in an impromptu dance -- traditional Iksay folk dancers are known to swap partners on several occasions mid-song!

[ Skulls the rest of his ale and sets his mug on the nearby table with great vigor, almost breaking the table if not the tankard. ]

Gwahaha!! If my mom could see me dancing with such a posh lady, I'd never hear the end of it!

[ Despite her request to be gentle, he boorishly yanks the Rune Sage with him, leading them to the centre of the dance area! ]

[belfar_agent]

A-Aggressive mother hen?!?

[aloof_savant]

It's n-- wait, what do you mean?!

[charming_chiketsu]

Tee hee.

[charming_chiketsu]

How enthusiastic!

[Giggles while being swept away to the dance floor.]

[what_a_pain]

What? You don't like chickens?

[belfar_agent]

That's not the point! Why do you have to compare me to your mother? Is it because you enjoy acting like a child?!

[duke_of_hazard]

Wooohoooooooo!!

[ Once they're among the dancing crowd, he takes both her hands and holds them up, his feet trying to out-tap all the other dancers around them. He seems quite skilled! ]

Now I'm really fired up!! Do you think they'll hold some kind of contest later in the evening?

[aloof_savant]

She's enjoying this.

...You are one perplexing lady, you know that?

[captainfluff]

Mumumu! *waving at Jeane, gesturing her to join him*

[captainfluff]

Mu! Mumu? *It's the pipe guy! Mukumuku points at a dancing couple nearby, asking if he comes for the dance.*

[innkeeper_erin]

*starts counting Minen's first glass*

Unfortunately I... arrived right at the Budehuc. I haven't any chance or reason to go.

What made you came to Budehuc?

[innkeeper_erin]

Shouldn't you go look for her? The townsman could be a little too friendly and snatch her away from you.

[aloof_savant]

[ D-Does not like that scenario. ]


Well... yeah, but, I don't want to be "that guy". You know, possessive, and all that!

[ aaaand just realized he kind of confirmed there's a relationship. ] ...Wait, what do you mean "snatch" her away?

[belfar_agent]

It was just by chance, really. I was following directions that I'd be given to the next town until I ran into you and...... Roberto...

[ She goes a little quiet after mentioning the young knight's name. ]

[falenas_fop]

[Has just arrived at the festivities but stopped short of joining as he's hit by a new feeling of...being out of place. He didn't belong at a peasant gathering even if this particular village didn't hate him. But he was determined to try!

Even if the dirt roads meant that his shoes were never going to be clean again. Sigh]

[innkeeper_erin]

*smiiiles* I thought you two were aiming for more than a social visit.

[aloof_savant]

L-Like some kind of couples retreat? Come on, now...

[innkeeper_erin]

*Erin notices Minen's silence, but she doesn't make any connection between it and Roberto.* Minen? Are you alright?

[innkeeper_erin]

You said it, not me.

[miss_matchmaker]

Mr. Euram!? I should've known you'd be making an appearance, too! Are these lovely decorations your handiwork again?

[captainfluff]

*Euram's blue cape reminds Mukumuku of his fellow squirrel Makumaku. And he really stands out with his attire; could he be a human noble? Mukumuku approaches Euram out of curiosity* Mu?

[falenas_fop]

[Stares in horror at the squirrel amidst the revelry. Why does no one care and WHY IS IT DRESSED?]

Vermin allowed to partake in these festivals?!

[so much for being a good boy and not insulting anyone today]

[falenas_fop]

Ah Miss Moana. It has been awhile has it not.

While I be glad to take such praise from you again these would appear to be the villagers own handiwork.

[aloof_savant]

You didn't have to!

[ Wants to turn the tables on her... but she's too pure! ]

So how friendly do you think the villagers are? Anyone tried to put moves on you..?
