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!

Oh? Could somebody be tailing you, then? You look like someone who's trying to hide.

From Minen perhaps?

[what_a_pain]

I wouldn't be able to hide from her even if I traveled to the other side of the world.

Did you come to this corner to hide?

[aloof_savant]

Yikes -- at least she qualifies for tracking down missing person cases, I guess?

No, I... just wanted to see how you're doing. [ The thought of taking a nap has also crossed his mind, but he's here with Agnes... ]

Just doing your civic duty as castle master, huh? I'm staying out of trouble so there's no need to fret. Ha.

Speaking of missing persons, where's that assistant of yours?

[aloof_savant]

Not as castle master, not here anyway, but perhaps as a friend.

Agnes? She's here somewhere... I brought her here to experience her first festival. And I thought I was sheltered when they made me study back in the day!

[what_a_pain]

You're moving me to tears, man. [Teasing as best he can with such a naturally monotonous voice.]

If she's really that sheltered maybe she just couldn't help herself and got lost in all the new sights. She's probably pretty excited.

[aloof_savant]

I hope so, she really works harder than anyone I've met... she deserves a break.

Speaking of work, I heard you finally settled in your new "office".

[what_a_pain]

If you can call it that. I've never heard of anyone opening up a business in a jail cell.
