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!

Heheh, would I deserve a prize from you if I won?

[miss_matchmaker]

Doctor Cray!

Wow, you sure are thirsty! Aren't you worried about the long line to the restroom?

[duke_of_hazard]

[ While on the hunt for any spicy curry, he comes across red hot chilli at the table and starts eating them raw. His face is sweating buckets, yet he carries on eating. ]

Th-This isn't hot enough to warm a sauna, let alone start a fire in my soul!! HEY, MORE SPICE!!!

[captainfluff]

*This is starting to get annoying.

Mukumuku lightly pokes Euram's leg, only to see his reaction.*

[innkeeper_erin]

Friendly enough that they keep offering me wine. I doubt the offer has hidden meaning though.

[innkeeper_erin]

Are you sure you can handle more? You seems to have enough.

[duke_of_hazard]

Why, dollie, I'm just getting started! That spicy flavor goes right through me! Really brings out the fighting spirit!!

Any ideas where I can get some hot curry?

[cray]

[He kept on drinking. It didn't matter to him if there was a line, if it got that bad there was woodland nearby...]

Noooppeee~

[innkeeper_erin]

O-okay... *doesn't ask to avoid Minen taking more and more booze*

How do the other places look like here?

[aloof_savant]

Err... was that sarcasm?

[miss_matchmaker]

Amazing!! You can hold it in all day?!

[cray]

Uh no. But there's woods over there...

[He pointed towards the entrance of the village, a woodland was just over the bridge.]

[belfar_agent]

[ She's still ranting! ]

He thinks he's sooo great!! He's nothing but an ungrateful scum, after all I've done for that boy!! I used to think you two would be good for each other, but now I know you can do so much better!!! I'm not letting anyone unworthy approach you anymore, not unless they wish to wake up six feet under!

WINE! [ Snatches a random passerby's tankard and proceeds drinking. ]

[miss_matchmaker]

H-How unsanitary! The woods are Mumu's home!

[innkeeper_erin]

Dollie?

No, sorry. ...you really like hot curry, don't you.

[cray]

I'm sure there's much worse than that out there...

[duke_of_hazard]

As long as I eat curry, I can live life to its fullest. I eat curry five times a day!

Hey, you're that cute innkeeper from Budehuc, right? Does Sebastian have a daughter or something?

[innkeeper_erin]

* That's really surprised Erin. She quietly apologizes to the person*

Are you two fighting?

[belfar_agent]

I already put that child in his place! We are done, there's no fighting -- just remnants of a lie that I foolishly called "friendship"!! Don't be suckered in by those types, Erin! They're just nice to you as long as they feel dominant!

[innkeeper_erin]

No, not at all.

Have you come to the Harvest Festival before?

[aloof_savant]

No, last time I was in the country, but nowhere near the village. Thankfully so, because it ended in disaster.

You on the other hand, you've never left Budehuc, huh?

[innkeeper_erin]

*Erin is visibly confused now, not expecting Minen to blurt out like that!* Wait, wait, w-what happened?

[innkeeper_erin]

That's... an interesting way of life.

Oh, I am not. I'm only working there until the real innkeeper is back. Do you know him?

[captainfluff]

Mu...? Mu! ...mumumuuu... *At first Mukumuku forgot how their first meeting went... And then he seems a bit nervous, perhaps ashamed of his misbehavior. Mukumuku shakes his head; it's ok, pipe guy did nothing wrong*

[belfar_agent]

Ugh, it doesn't matter!! Let's dance!
