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!

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

[belfar_agent]

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

[innkeeper_erin]

Wait-- Oh, well.

*offers her hand* Be gentle with me, ok?

[belfar_agent]

What do you mean? I'm the one who taught you how to dance, so I expect you to keep up! [ Although her words sound harsh, she does quite gently take Erin's hand and leads her to the crowd. ]

[ ...Except that was ballroom dancing, and she doesn't know how to dance like the villagers. ] ...Um.

[innkeeper_erin]

*Awkwardly hooks her arm in Minen's, and then lead Minen to move in round, copying other townsfolk*

[belfar_agent]

[ She's trying to copy the others, too. Luckily dancing doesn't feel hard at all after a few drinks. ]

...Th-this is so silly, how can they call this dancing?

[innkeeper_erin]

Haha, it's different from what I learnt from you, indeed.
