Event || The Festival of Light
Who: Everyone!
When: August 18th - 25th

Warnings/Notes: N/A
EXPOSITION OF THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT
— Third District || August 18th – August 25th || 10:00 to 23:00 —
The museums in the 03rd District are open to visitors and are home to many relics predating written history. A lot of those old relics are items of archaeological interest or look like they could be really advanced technologies if they weren't broken beyond repair. Prototypes for Magitek Armor of a new age are exposed, alongside fragments of what are believed to belong to the legendary WEAPONs, machines that belong to the same category than Ultima WEAPON.
The section for Eidolons has all the Eidolons the characters have met so far as well as others yet undiscovered displaying on a gigantic wall-covering painting. The largest Eidolon on the painting appears to be a dragon some characters may recognize as Bahamut, he is so big he dwarves the other Eidolons and should one pay attention, his wings are actually the background of the painting.
Interestingly, someone has doodled something that looks like Ultros over Leviathan on the painting...
SUNNY STARLIGHT
— Ninth District || August 22nd – August 25th || 07:00 to 19:00 —
Do you really believe because it’s summer, you can escape the beauty and magnificence of Christmas? Think again. There is one thing all the nations on Vaikuntha are of one mind on: the wait from the December 26th of a year to the December 24th of the next is too long. This is why a band of Moogles, Lalafells, Bangaas and Zoras from all across the Empire have occupied half of the Ninth District. Decorated trees, Christmas music, people dressed as Santa Claus (and probably dying because of the heat), fake gift boxes as well as a very large and pretty box for donations all await you!
Kids below the age of 15 will all receive a gift if they come: plushies made in the likeness of the main villains of numbered Final Fantasy games! And when you press the button hidden on their stomach, they speak a random line. Who doesn't want a Sephiroth plushie saying "You are a puppet" or a Jecht one repeating "Cry, cry, cry" all day long?
It's like a dream come true!
MIDNIGHT AIRSHIP
— Twelfth District || August 20th – August 24th || 23:00 to 06:00 —
For the late sleepers, it is possible to board a special airship prepared by Hypellos to party up in the sky. The Airship flies all around the Imperial Territories and should characters so desire, they can ask to stop by one of the two other cities. Whether they want to dance, to eat or to enjoy the view, it might be a very fun and relaxing activity. It is also a very good place from where to watch the fireworks… Or to scout for an incoming Tarutaru and her weapon toy.
Note that all the personnel onboard are Hypellos. They are very serviceable and nice, but can try the patience of those not used to their accent. Of note, one Hypello is green and appears to be angrily stalking anyone heading for the "Sunny Starlight" event. He is quite sneaky though and will always manage to get away before being approached.
MOGNET EXPOSITION
— Ninth District || August 22nd – August August 25th || 07:00 to 19:00 —
The half of the Ninth District not occupied by Christmas fanatics is occupied by the Moogles working for the Imperial section of Mognet. Split for the regular Mognet for a decade, Imperial Mognet has managed to thrive. Imperial iMog Slates have all sorts of functions other iMog Slates could only dream of, such as games, grammar check and that kind of stuff. All of those things can be visited at the exposition! Not only that, but the Moogles are also putting on display things that have nothing to do with Mognet but more to do with Moogles themselves.
Come and visit the exposition to discover the rich and amazing culture of the Moogles! Kupo Nuts, Fur Dye, Fake Kupo Nuts, Pom Shiner, Carved Kupo Nuts, booklets titled "How to Use Your Cuteness to Exploit People," Mognet Bags, Deluxe Kupo Nuts, Sheets to Prepare Future Strikes, Mog Beds, Explosive Kupo Nuts, Kupo Champagne—
There is no end to what might be learned from Moogles!
CHOCOBO RACES
— Sen Riqeaux || August 23rd || 15:00 to 20:00 —
A Chocobo Race will be held all around the city! Will you compete? Shall you win? There are no prizes as all the money earned through the race is given to the Safety of Sparks Golsaucia movement. Those participating can bring their own Chocobo or get a temporary one from the people organizing the race. It will be a very bad Chocobo though, so they shouldn’t expect to win… Beware the Hamsters and Marlboro during the race though. It’d be a real shame to end up getting eaten while racing.
SHOPPING
— City's Outskirts || August 18th – August 25th || 07:00 - 20:00 —
On the city's outskirts are all manners of stalls by shoppers eager to make some money. You can find everything there: plushies, food, clothes, souvenirs, books and even cosmetics. Why, one of the merchant is even selling contact lenses covering nearly all of the rainbow's spectrum aside from green while another sells all kind of swords, even the supposed legendary Excalibur! This might be the perfect place to take on O'aka's Quest if you so wish!
MINI SPARKS GOLSAUCIA
— Eleventh District || August 19th – August 24th || Anytime —
Specially for the festival, stallholders from Sparks Golsaucia were invited and brought a few attractions to display what they can do. Noticeably, there is a shooting stand—Once again, a treasure chest game where characters are presented with ten chests and can open only one-- Prizes range from one Gils to gigantic plushies. The novelty this year is something called the "Kupo Boxes," Boxes you punch open and you get something: perhaps something wonderful like a 1 million gil ticket, more often than not though absolutely nothing. Will you try your chance? Be careful, your wallet might not survive it.
TOURNAMENTS
— Tenth District || August 19th – August 23rd || 10:00/15:00/20:00 —
There is a Blitzball Competition taking place during the Festival of Light! Characters are free to go and watch the matches, so long as they can pay for the tickets. At the same time, a Triple Triad competition is taking place. Characters are free to enter the Triple Triad tournament if they so wish. Characters who know Triple Triads have decent chances to win. And even if your characters lose, what matters is trying, right? There are no prizes to be won, as all money goes to the Triple Triad For Everyone associations.
CULINARY ATTRACTIONS
— Second District || August 18th – August 25th || 12:00 to 13:30 / 19:00 to 21:00 —
What would a festival be without free food and banquets? Not really a festival. In the fourteenth district, there is a banquet and many stands held by people from all over the Empire. All kind of food can be found here-- Refined food, pastries, cakes, cooked meals, etc. It's virtually impossible not to find something to like in all of this, and it's all free! There are, however, guards standing around on the lookout for Gourmands who would be tempted to ruin the fun for everyone. After what happened two years ago, better be careful.
THE OPERA
— Ninth District || August 18th - August 24th || 22:00 —
There is an opera every day for all to see for free, titled "A Goddess's Tears." It is a retelling of the creation myth, but shown from the (presumed) perspective of the Goddess of Death. The play depicts the Goddess as someone who started out as a rather sweet person, but whose life took such terrible turns she wished to die and resented life. Yet, death was too scary of a prospect for her and she couldn't choose what was better, Life or Death. As the play progresses, she decides both are equally terrible and resolves to create a world where those very notions shall no longer exist.
As the play unfolds, toward the ends the story becomes what people are more familiar with. However, rather than letting her die wordlessly, the four heroes appease the Goddess's soul by singing. As the four heroes sing, the Goddess smiles and sheds a single tear before passing away. It is said the play is very emotional, sensible people might want to pass on it.
HOUSING
— Fourteenth District || August 17th - August 27th || Anytime —
Before, after and during the Festival of Light, the characters will all need a place where they can rest. Thankfully for them, people coming with the Curti Center delegation are all given the keys to stay in one of the abandoned houses in the 14th District. Truth to be told however, those house look anything but abandoned. Why, it's as if people had been living in them up until very recently, given how either clean and ordered they are for some, or chaotic and neglected they are for others (Characters who were present in Melodies of Life will be able to notice the houses are nearly identical to what they were just before the time skip during endgame, though there are a few eerie differences).
At least, it's a good place to sleep!
ARDYNIAN DISCOVERY
— Fifteenth District || August 18th – August 25th || 10:00, 15:00, 20:00 —
Everyday, it will be possible to get wheeled motor vehicle driven by imperial soldiers and go visit one of the other cities, case in point, Ardynia! Not much is done over there for the Festival of Light, but it is worth checking out, if only for the Wizard and Jester Jobs. It is a thriving city with people from all over the Empire, and it appears to be something of a shopping center for the imperial region.
And most importantly, discover the official headwear of Ardynia: the Fedora! It is said Archaeologists have imported this fashion trend to Ardynia when they pass by, but none know whether this is true or not. While most citizens have enough senses not to actually wear this dreaded hat, those who do wear it really look dumb doing so. And those who don't look dumb look like they'd make jokes about your pet's untimely demise while you're still crying about it.
Perhaps is is best to stay away.
PARASRAYA DISCOVERY
— Fifteenth District || August 18th – August 25th || 10:00, 15:00, 20:00 —
Everyday, it will be possible to get wheeled motor vehicle driven by imperial soldiers and go visit one of the other cities, case in point, Parasraya! Not much is done over there for the Festival of Light, but it is worth checking out, if only for the Archaeologist and Catmancer Jobs, as well as the Weapon Master Association. It is a technologically advanced yet small and cozy city...
... If it wasn't for a tragedy plaguing the city: cats, cats everywhere. If the meowing doesn't kill you, the constant flow of cats asking to be pet, fed and to sit on your lap might. You may even encounter a few tired citizens paying you money to take care of the cat infestation around their house. Others however are really defensive of the cats and will hunt anyone trying to bring harm to them. Of course, the source of all these cat-related troubles can be traced back to the origins of the Catmancer guild.
But, perhaps it is a story best left for another day.
FIREWORKS
— First District || August 18th – August 24th || Midnight —
Fireworks will be launched from the Castle starting 00:00 and will end at 01:00, everyday of the Festival. No matter where you are in the city, anyone should be able to watch them with ease if they so wish. Unfortunately, it means falling asleep before midnight may be a bit hard with all the noise. On the 25th, characters will be with dining with the Empress as the fireworks happen.

no subject
Maybe it was the fact that she was used to celebrating Christmas in December, or perhaps it was something else entirely. Either way, Marinette was just shaking her head at all of this. But apparently someone, somewhere, had decided that this was a good idea, and who was she to say that that choice was wrong? If an entire city wanted to do things a little differently, what right did she have to judge them for it?
Even still, she was having a hard time wrapping her head around everything. But even she had to admit that it was all very festive. Mai was currently hovering behind her, casually snapping photos of the decorations and the people in costumes. Something about posterity.
Shopping
Some things would never change. Wherever there were people, there were places to shop, and Marinette was particularly interested in the things to be bought here. Most importantly, she was on the lookout for something to wear to the dinner. If she didn't find something she couldn't live without, she'd probably just end up wearing something she'd brought along. Or maybe she'd see about making something. That could be fun.
With that thought in mind, she can easily be found browsing one of the many shops. Mai can usually be spotted hovering along behind her, possibly pointing out something she's sure the ridiculous girl would like.
Culinary Attractions
Just as a moth is drawn to a flame, the culinary festival had successfully drawn in one Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She might have decided that a career in fashion was what she really wanted in life, but food would always be her first love. And while this wasn't the first time she'd been to this kind of thing, it was the first time she'd been to a food festival in an entirely different world!
To say she was excited would be an understatement. She could easily be spotted flitting here and there, accepting samples of various treats, and sometimes pausing to ask a question or make a comment on some aspect of the food or the process. Mai, not having such a keen interest in food, just hung back and snapped photos of everything because she figured her girl would like to have something tangible to remember this by.
Choose Your Own
[While the things up above are the ones she'd most likely get up to, Marinette is likely available for other things as well. Want something not on the list? Goferit~ I'll match format as well. I'm also down for plotting things via
Sunny Starlight
That's a load of bantha fodder, Starlight's got nothing to do with that old Wookie holiday.
[Biggs and Wedge pass by, going through the motions of what sounds to be a very old argument between them. They're both wearing elf hats and each have a basket full of little candy canes that they are handing out.
When they stop to offer one to Marinette and her moogle, they will see that the candies have little strips of paper attached that read: Science is a Treat! Thanks for supporting the Curti Center.]
Here you go. Enjoy!
no subject
The fact that they were wearing elf hats was not lost on her, but before she could comment on that, they were offering her candy canes; one each for herself and Mai.]
That's very nice. Thank you! [And because she was too curious not to take a chance while they were right there-]
What's a Wookie?
no subject
I guess Wookies are one of those things that other galaxies don't have. [Wedge muses. There are some things that seem universal across many star systems and galaxies, so they're never sure what is a known concept with new outworlders and what is unique to their world.]
They're an alien species. 'Bout 2.5 meters tall, wicked strong, but real intelligent, if you understand their language. They look kinda like this world's yetis, but brown instead of white, but yetis aren't nearly as smart or honorable.
[Biggs has only met one Wookie, very briefly, but that one had made an impression.]
no subject
Yetis were pretty familiar, though.]
So... really tall, really strong and really smart. Got it! [And she kinda wanted to meet one now? While she had a general idea of what yetis were, she'd never met one for obvious reasons.]
Are they nice?
[This is important info to have.]
no subject
Most folks who know 'em will say they're fine if you're polite, or if you leave 'em alone. Offend them or beat 'em at Dejarik, though, and things can get real hairy real fast. [Wedge isn't trying to scare the kid, but it's important to have a healthy respect for a life form that could pull arms outta sockets if they wanted to.]
Make friends with one, though, and you'll never find anyone as loyal.
no subject
[That... was something she certainly didn't know. Interesting!]
It seems like offending anyone would cause trouble, so I don't see why they'd be any different. What's Dejarik? [Please tell her more, because she's curious now, and that sounds like something really interesting!]
Are there any here?
Starlight
She was doing her best but sometimes she couldn't help but feel homesick, and with a heavy sigh this was one of those moments.
no subject
"Merry Christmas," she called out as she approached, and tried not to ponder too closely how silly it felt to be saying that now. Mostly she was trying not to sneak up on Bonnie, but it also made for a pretty decent ice breaker.
no subject
"Ku, kupo! M-merry Christmas. How are you doing Miss Marinette?" She wasn't just mulling over her thoughts! No not at all!
no subject
Then again, the thought of anyone here becoming akumatized was a frightening one because she had no way of fixing them if it did happen! And she liked to think that whatever had brought everyone here would have the sense to leave Papillon right where he was. Hopefully, not causing too much trouble...
The question was enough to make her pause, and she shrugged a little after a moment. "I'm doing alright. I've just been taking pictures of everyone who dressed up, and the tree, and the decorations! How are you? Are you having a good day?"
no subject
"I, uh, yeah, mostly, kupo. I'm..." She paused. She didn't want to admit to it, but she'd been caught and she just didn't have the energy at the moment to lie about it. Not with the cheer around her. Besides, Marinette had gone out of her way to speak to her and deserved to have her kindness taken seriously. "I'm just feeling a little homesick, kupo. We had a town like this one back on Crystallis...I hope everyone is doing alright, kupo."
Sunny Starlight
It was when he’d come to spy the great tall tree, however, that about blew his mind. He happened to be standing next to someone as he exclaimed. “It’s the most wonderful tree ever!”
So I never actually got a notification for this??? :|
For the most part, she'd been absorbed in taking photos of everyone who happened to dress up. Taking photos of people in general was kind of fun, but it was even better when they were festively decked out in fun hats and things. By this point she'd sort of gravitated toward the tree, because it was seriously something to behold.
