Current Quest - #19
> Xentus, accompanied by...
Hm, now this wasn't exactly some kind of quest or job. It was simply an event, as far as the leopard could tell. Ah, but he couldn't resist the temptation of free food, pleasant bonfires, and fireworks. The option to mingle was there, but Xentus saw this more as a chance to expose Astraea to more sights, sounds, and peoples abound. The golem hadn't and experience with events such as this. To her, there were too many people, too many sounds, and too many sights to see. All she cared for was her beloved bonded one. But whatever made him happy made her happy in turn, so accompanying him was no kind of chore. The glass golem happily trotted alongside the mammalian as he thumbed through the flier he'd received earlier. The different offerings of different good stalls caught his attention first, but he also wanted to watch (and perhaps participate) in the various dances about the bonfires. Now, where to start?

On the Board
It is this time of year that some people celebrate The Incursion; that is, the birth of the Labs that founded the Labs City. Decorations are put up all over town, including some home-made 'robots' (or rather, robot-like metal husks) that stand menacingly as a testament to all things perhaps not quite natural. The last few years, this month has been tinged with some amount of sorrow- just what happened to the Head Scientist?
As you make your way to the questing board, you find that even WELP appears to be getting in on this festivity (but don't they compete with the Labs? no one is really sure). You see a few different individuals dressed up in what are obviously WELP labcoats, handing out flyers. A peculiar little kapper (hairless and catlike, with three eyes) wearing a black tutu and a skeleton-printed hoodie grins at you. Her teeth are all snaggle-tooth, but it is difficult to be afraid of such a small individual. "This is Dis with WELP Corp! My team members and I are here to invite you to a bonfire in honor of The Incursion." She holds out a flyer in her clawed little fingers to you. "There will be catering, and you may bring a pet with you if you wish." The middle eye blinks as she continues- "If you don't have a WATT, the back of the flyers has a map to the festival grounds. If you do have one of our revolutionary WATTS- you can find it on the official WELP blog as well!" At this, she bids you adieu. What a peppy little scientist! Her other team members are busy answering questions and handing out flyers to other quest-goers.
This sounds like an interesting little quest, if not a tad simple.

The night of the bonfire is calm and clear-skied, if not a little bit cold for this time of year. There are several bonfires lit safely around the huge field (one that had been recently harvested of the golden grain within it) and it seems like nearly the whole town is here. There are various stands from the cafes and restaurants of the Labs set up with a ton of different delicious treats! A few people have gotten together to speak and eat, and still a few more are attending dances, or having an unofficial battle or two farther out from the rest of the crowds. What would you like to do with your night?
Later on, a fireworks display is planned. It seems that WELP has found a way to make fireworks nearly soundless, so as not to panic creatures with an aversion to loud noises.
In Order to Succeed: Roleplay hanging out at the bonfire! People can team up and do a quest roleplay together this month, but you must do the required amount of posts yourself (IE: If you team up with someone, both of you must do x posts to complete the quests. It is not split in half!). Be sure to put all of the people roleplaying with you in your first post. You can definitely do the quest by yourself this month if you prefer. Each person can bring one pet (but you don't have to bring a pet if you don't want to).
Prize: Perhaps there will be a special caterer with some delicious festive prizes? Probably QP, too.
Challenge Rating: Easy
