Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Greetings, (Player)!
As mayor of Kilima Village, it is my great honor to invite you to our second-ever Maji Market!

Due to everyone's warm reception of the first Maji Market, we were able to bring the event back to celebrate a very special occasion... the Dragon moon calendar's very own Luna new year!

Let us join together for many evenings of festivities under the shimmering Luna moon as we welcome good fortune to our doorsteps!

• Location: Kilima Fairgrounds (Southeast of Kilima Village)
• Time: 6pm-3am nightly, until the end of the festivities!

I hope to see you there!

P.S. Please, please, PLEASE attend if you can. If the market doesn't do well, Eshe's going to take over all of the planning. I won't have any say in it anymore!

Kenli

Speak to Kenli

Kenli

Happy Luna New Year, (Player), and welcome to the Maji Market!

Would you like me to tell you what this momentous occasion is all about?

Player

Yes, please!

Kenli

Er... I forgot what I'm supposed to say next. Please excuse me while I review my notes! I went through many revisions before Eshe finally approved them.

...Ah, yes! Ahem! The Maji Market is a gathering place for joy and wonder for all!

There, you will find specialty food to delight your tastebuds, along with many sights and activities you can only find here in Kilima Valley!

Player

I'll pass.

Kenli

O-Oh, I see...

Well, no matter! As long as you are here, you will learn on your own what it is we're celebrating.

...Oh! How rude of me. This is for you!

Player

An envelope?

Kenli

Not just any ordinary envelope. It is known by many names, but it is most commonly referred to as a lucky envelope.

Look inside, you will understand why it is called that.

Oh, I know! Why don't you ask Chayne all about lucky envelopes? I'm sure he will have valuable insight to share with you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to go for another round of hotpot, this time with a spicy soup base. Hopefully my tongue can handle it!

Progression

Speak to Chayne

Chayne

Ah, Phoenix's child. Happy Luna New Year!

Player

Happy Luna New Year, Chayne!

Player

Right back at you.

Chayne

Thank you. Please, take this lucky envelope. I was saving it just for you.

Player

(Accept the lucky envelope)

Chayne

Has anybody explained what lucky envelopes are to you yet? If you have a minute, I would like to do the honors.

Player

Well, don't let me stop you!

Player

I was hoping you would.

Player

Story time!

Player

I guess I can spare a minute...

Chayne

The origin of lucky envelopes can be traced well over a milennia into the past.

Our ancestors gazed upon the heavens and witnessed the Dragon moon, Luna, shimmering brightly like it never had before. Many interpreted that to be a sign of new beginnings.

The annual spectacle soon became a celebration for people from all walks of life, Majiri and not. Communities gathered together to enjoy many evenings of joy and festivities under Luna's brilliant shimmer.

These celebrations became what is now known as the Maji Market.

As the end of the first Maji Market approached, its guests returned home with full bellies and warm hearts. They dreamt deeply that night, vividly reliving the moonlit festivities...

When they awoke from their slumber, they found coins under their pillows, each that shimmered just as brightly as Luna.

Player

Were they gifts from the Dragon?

Chayne

One can certainly interpret the events that way, though there are many alternate explanations as well.

Player

Their dreams predicted the future!

Chayne

One can certainly interpret the events that way, though there are many alternate explanations as well.

Player

That sounds too good to be true.

Chayne

At the end of the day, you are the sole judge of what you see as the truth.

Player

If you think about it, coins look like little moons.

Chayne

A keen observation, Phoenix's child. Coins certainly do bear some resemblance to moons.

Rather than keep all of the coins to themselves, many decided to gift them to others in packets, often ones with intricate designs and colors on them.

This birthed the tradition of exchanging lucky envelopes.

The contents and meaning of the envelope differs based on what the occasion is, but at its essence the act means you wish someone well.

Player

I hope lots of people wish me well, then!

Player

What a thoughtful tradition.

Chayne

I can imagine you will receive many lucky envelopes throughout the Luna new year celebration.

Speaking of wishes, how could I forget to mention our lovely wish tree? I'm sure it was one of the first spectacles you observed upon entering the market.

As the village sage, it is my honor and duty to serve as the tree's caretaker, as well as the overseer or the rituals surrounding it.

Player

Rituals?

Chayne

See those colorful papers hanging from the tree? Those are called wish ribbons. Inscribed on them are the wishes of your fellow villagers.

It is my duty to ensure the process of wish making goes smoothly, along with enlightening curious minds about the history surrounding the tradition.

All of your fellow villagers have already made their wishes... Erm, all but one.

Player

It's you, isn't it?

Chayne

In accordance with tradition, the caretaker of the wish tree is the first to make a wish. Mine was up there before any other.

Player

Who would that be?

Chayne

I had a feeling you were going to be curious.

Player

The goodest boy, Tau?

Chayne

After me, Tau was the first to make a wish. He was very enthusiastic about it, too.

Player

It's definitely Eshe.

Chayne

As one of the hosts of the Maji Market, Eshe was among the first to make a wish.

...It's Zeki. He has participated in all of the activities except for the wish tree.

I have seen him glancing over at it from time to time, but he has yet to take part in it... Perhaps because he has been so busy managing his own booth.

Could you do me a favor and invite him to participate? Thank you.

Speak to Zeki

Player

I heard you haven't made a wish yet.

Zeki

On what, the candles on my birthday fish? It ain't even my birthday yet, pal. Check back in a couple o' sun cycles.

Player

I was talking about the wish tree...

Zeki

You're like, the hundredth Human to poke me about it today. You guys must be in cahoots or somethin'. Is it Let's All Bug Zeki Day or what?

Player

Actually, it's National Hairball Awareness Day.

Zeki

And I wasn't informed?! I'm the primary producer of hairballs here in Kilima Valley, for Dunya's sake! I'm filing a complaint with City Hall right now!

...On second thought, it ain't worth all that hassle. All of those papers end up being coasters for the magistrate's tea mugs, anyway.

Player

Can you be serious for ONE second?

Zeki

What do you mean? I'm as serious as can be! Look at this face! Stonier than Hodari's ain't it?

...Oh, I'm just messin' with ya, pal. No need to give me the stank eye!

Player

Chayne sent me.

Zeki

Did he now? Is this about the other night at the Inn?

We both got to the entrance at the same time, and had a "you first" battle. He lost and had to walk in before me.

Player

When isn't it Let's All Bug Zeki Day?

Zeki

Right, right. It's a holiday that never ends. Just like pay day!

...Alright. Fine, ya caught me. I didn't hang a colorful wish paper on the tree like everybody else did.

I'll tell ya why, but ya gotta do somethin' for me first, like make my booth look more enticing so more people give me their money.

Why don'tcha spin my prize wheel? Give it a whirl and see how lucky you get. Don't forget to cheer REAL loud at the end, no matter what ya end up with. Got it?!

Return to Zeki

Zeki

Did ya end up winning what you wanted? If not, you can always spin it again. For the right price, of course.

Player

We had a deal.

Zeki

What deal?

...I'm just pulling your leg, pal. I remember promising I'd tell ya why I didn't hang a wish up on that tree.

The answer's simple, really. I just don't believe in making wishes.

You see, we Grimalkins prefer to make things happen ourselves, through our own means. We don't seek help or guidance from anyone else.

I mean, we could pray to the Chimera, Dunya, for things, but she'd tell us to get off our lazy butts and figure it out ourselves.

Player

Tough love...

Zeki

Eh, I'm used to it. My ma was the same way.

Player

Who's Dunya?

Zeki

Dunya business! Get it? None o' ya business? Ah, I crack myself up sometimes.

Dunya's kinda like our Dragon. She's a lot more of the "tough love" type, though. Kind of like my ma.

... *sigh*

Well, that's all I got for ya, buddy. Tell ol' Chayne I said hi. I can see him lookin' over here!

Completion

Return to Chayne

Player

(Explain what happened with Zeki)

Chayne

I see... I was wondering why he was participating in everything but the wish tree. Now I understand why.

Player

I feel like there's more to the story...

Player

Zeki got those sad kitten eyes for a second!

Player

He seemed a little TOO cheerful.

Player

He's definitely hiding something.

Chayne

Is that so? Hmm...

Player

What should we do?

Chayne

Nothing. It is not our place to question Zeki. If he wishes to open up to us, he will of his own volition.

In the meantime, please enjoy the Maji Market and the Luna new year's festivities to the fullest.

Oh, and please take this for your troubles. Thank you, Phoenix's child. I will reach out to you when the time comes...
