Trick or Treat?
Master, Master!
Vana'diel has been on fire with goldfish scooping, dancing,
and wild buffalos! But all that's over now, kupo! No more
trouble, and no more heat! But don't you miss all the
activity, actually? Aren't you itching for more excitement?
I have some information fresh from the M.H.M.U. (Mog House
Management Union) that just might scratch that itch, kupo!
Harvest time in Bastok, San d'Oria, and Windurst is now
over, and a bone-chilling, fearsome festival is in the
works! The towns will use the festival as a means to
express their enormous thanks to the adventurers for the
safety they bring, and provide a means of revenge for the
ever-so-few trifling troubles they cause.
That's right, kupo! It's the third incarnation of the
Harvest Festival!
The other details given to me are vague because
apparently, the festival planners didn't want any
information leaked to the adventurers, kupo! Luckily, the
M.H.M.U. had a few secret agents planted at their meetings!
Apparently, there will be more than just the typical
monster costumes! A certain hazardous-looking decoration(*)
devised by the engineers of Bastok is scheduled to make an
appearance. Oooh, scaaary... I'm shaking in my fur, kupo!
The planners have also set up patrols during the preparation
for the festival, so they must be hiding more spine-tingling
secrets!
Do you like playing tricks? Then I have good news for you,
kupo!
It seems they are planning to give away special costumes.
Adventurers will roam the streets wearing the costumes and
approach wary passers-by with calls of "Trick or Treat?"
What will the moogles be doing, you ask?
Eating candy and playing tricks, of course, kupo!
(*)
When questioned, Raibaht shouted, "What do you mean, 'It
looks dangerous!?' Cid's inventions tend to have a unique
look to them, but this was made from the same technology
that allows airships to fly at great heights. It's
perfectly safe!" I think I made him angry, kupo...
