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!

--You should watch where you're going, Agnes! What's the big hurry anyway?

[ She bites her lip, answering haltingly. She doesn't want to talk about her relationship with Caesar openly, after all, especially not to Minen of all people, but... ]

I... was disoriented in the crowd and became separated from those in Budehuc. I was trying to find my way back.

Wait, so you came here with others? Why was I not invited?!

Just... with Caesar.

What? Why does that not surprise me? You two are attached at the hip!
