Quest #19
It is the time of year that some people celebrate The Incursion; that is, the birth of the Labs that founded the 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 - 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 the festivities (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 lab coats, 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 there. 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.

Spend some time at the bonfire, celebrating with others and watching the fireworks.

Ashe couldn't remember ever celebrating this day as a holiday before. Had he been unaware? Or had he avoided it and this time he just accidentally happened to be out? Oh well, he'd probably been too busy to even notice this day in particular in past years. He was with Inyala when he saw the decorations and the people milling about, torn between the excitement of a gathering and also an unusual sorrow. Ashe thought about exploring these emotions, trying to figure out why people looked so somber. Instead, he met a curious fellow handing out flyers. He took his politely before he even knew what it was for.
"Hello, Dis," He said, glancing over the piece of paper in his hand. "You had me at catering, I'll be there!" He gave her a thumbs up as she skipped away. She was quite peppy! He didn't know too much about the 'rival' scientist group, WELP. He had a couple of creatures from them, but not the time to train them for comparison. "Looks like we're going to a bonfire, Inyala! What shall we wear?"
