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!

No. I showed up late to the party since I got locked in the rune shop this afternoon and missed an earlier caravan here... [Looks a little embarrassed to be admitting that.]

[aloof_savant]

Locked in the rune shop? Do I dare ask?

[flowingstrike_loser]

I just wanted to see if I could get a little healing there. Also, I had no idea Jeane worked at Budehuc! I mean, how is that even possible? [Frustrated sigh.] Anyway, she left to go do something and I think she forgot I was there and locked me in by accident. Well I hope it was an accident.

[ He assumes that Jeremy met Jeane at Brass Castle or something... of course there's no way he could have met her over 100 years ago! ]

Well, she... certainly loves a lot of people, as I just learned. Perhaps she wants to keep you around for later? I always knew there was an air of mystery around her~

[flowingstrike_loser]

What do you mean? Was she meeting someone for a date and was going to heal me later?? I couldn't stay there all day!

[aloof_savant]

Who knows? Maybe she was, and you were her back-up plan in case things went south? [ Doesn't really believe that, totally teasing Jeremy~ ]

[flowingstrike_loser]

Y-you really think so? But she doesn't seem the type to ever have things go badly for her. Seriously, have you seen her?! [Being gullible as always.]

[aloof_savant]

You don't think you're a prize yourself? And Agnes always has such kind things to say about you~

[flowingstrike_loser]

I really don't think I'm in her league. [Secretly insecure about how young and feminine sort of fair he looks and thinks she'd laugh at him.]

Does Agnes really?

[aloof_savant]

Maybe.

[ don't be that guy, don't be that guy, don't-- ]

......What's it to you?

[flowingstrike_loser]

I-I just didn't think she'd ever talk about me to anyone. [Is there an slightly ominous aura all of a sudden?]

[aloof_savant]

Agnes and I converse about many of our residents.

[flowingstrike_loser]

Oh yeah. Of course. That makes sense.. ahaha...
