Scene 1
The Festival of Neggs has Begun!
It's Zaira's first time hosting Festival of Neggs! Talk to her to get your first clue.
Zaira: H-hello! Thank you for coming to this year's Festival of Neggs. My na-name is Zaira, and I will be your host.
Kari: Yes, great job! Say it just like that, with your head held high, and I'm sure all the festival-goers will feel right at home.
Zaira: N-no, Kari. I was saying it because they are already here.
Kari: Oh, my bad. But that is great timing. Now I can also give a quick hello to a few participants.
I'm so glad to see visitors to this year's Festival of Neggs. As you just heard, my wonderful assistant, Zaira, will be running this year's event. We've been prepping for it together for some time now, so I'm confident she'll do a great job.
With that said, I'll make my way back to the Neggery and let her walk you through what to do. You got this, Zaira!
Zaira: Th-thanks Kari. I will not let you down!
Hi, since Kari is still afflicted by the grey curse, I volunteered to put to-to-together and run this year's festival. You can probably t-tell I'm a little anxious, but I have practised all year for this, so I promise I will do my best to live up to the fun standards that Kari set.
Okay, for all you ne-newcomers, and anyone who would like a refresher, let me explain h—ow the festival works.
(Deep breaths. You practised this over and over again. You can do this.)
Each day, I will hide a bundle of neggs around Neopia and give a clue as to where you can find them. Except for the first and second days of the event, I will only hide one bundle, as I want to give everyone time to get into the swing of things.
You can come visit me anytime for the clues to each day's hidden location, and you will have until the end of the festival to find them.
However, there will be extra prizes for finding them all on the days I first give out the clues. So be sure to check in daily!
When you find a bundle of neggs, you will be able to pick one of the three I have hidden there to keep for yourself, but choose wisely, as you will only be able to pick once at each location.
Once you have chosen a negg, it will grant you one of its unique prizes inside! Do not be afraid to choose the same negg multiple times at different locations, as I will make sure you do not get any repeat prizes until you have gotten all that negg has to offer.
Once the festival is over, I will tally up all your participation and grant you any extra bonus prizes the next day, so be sure to check back in anytime after the event ends to collect them.
That is all for the basics for this year's festivities. If you have any more questions, be sure to check out the festival's FAQ at any time for more details.
With th-that said, let the festival begin! Visit me again when you are ready for the first clue.
Scene 2
Zaira: Oh ya, you are here! I was a little worried n-no one would come back.
I know my first riddle may not have been all that good. Kari was a big help in teach-teaching me the logistics of the festival, but she was adamant that I make my own riddles, so I am n—ot sure they are as good as hers...
I just really want to make her proud. I know it may seem h-hard to believe, but I was sort of a delinquent before Kari took me under her wing and helped me tr-tra-transform into the faerie I am today.
So no matter what, I do not want to bother her. She has enough to worry about, and I will not add my stress on t-to hers!
Come visit me again if you would like another riddle.
Scene 3
Zaira: emocleW kcab! I epoh uoy'er gnivah a taerg emit.
N-no...not-not-not again.
(Breathe... You're just flustered or something. Deep breaths and try again.)
emocleW kcab! Aagh!
I am not sure what is going on. Sometimes I can t-talk fine... others it is almost like... like h—ow I used to be. But I always... always can not say the riddle I created for the day!
Please, I can not let this festival be a failure. I know it may be difficult to understand. But I am going to t-try again. Come visit me once more if you would still like to try and find t—oday's bundle.
