Back in November, Ignis petitioned Halcyn for a Winter Festival. He requested snow, lots of lights, and an in ground hot tub or two or more.

Train/moogles/horses - There's also a small train to go ride around the city, and horses will again appear for sleigh rides. Moogles will be appearing/on hand to give directions to where things are if people get lost. They are also serving as sources of information in case someone doesn't know anything about a festival or activity. Just ask the moogle kupo!

Food/shopping - Ignis also learned of and requested that European style christmas markets (including Japanese ones) so all of the foods for those countries and all of the things/traditions that they are associated with will be available. Whatever country has what, feel free to learn about it, or whatever different world. Recipe books will be available for whatever place too so pick one up while you can because you might want to learn to cook it for yourself! (Sorry folks, Remy not included) Enjoy all the shopping and fooding even if you've never heard of that place, world or food before. So eat, drink and be merry!

Activities/things to do - Skiing, sledding, skating and tobogganing will be available and if you're really tough, maybe archery hunting in skis may appeal. Riding on a ski lift can be a relaxing thing to do as well. Snowboarding is available as well, but a few words of caution on that. There may be sledding moogles as you go, lots of trees to run into, balloons, and if you hit an igloo, there may be an angry moogle that throws a table at you. There are also snow chocobos and snow moogles along that path.

For those not so daring to go snowboarding, the snow moogles and snow chocobos will be around town in different spots so that they're not missed. And while they won't throw snowballs at you, your friends just might! And you can ride a horse to go see a model of a royal library. A word of caution however, as there may be monsters even if they're mostly slimecicles. There may be some Luminous Lamplings or Bongo Fandangos lurking about too.


Other activities/happenings - There will also be events and things for the Chinese New Year, such as lion dances, all sorts of traditional foods, decorations, fire works, firecrackers and kids might get red envelopes. Since it is now the Year of the Rabbit, adorable rabbit decorations of all sorts are everywhere. On the last day of this Winter event will be the Lantern Festival.

Something else to note - If you're feeling adventurous there's a place or two to get married! The Hunting Lodge is always open so you could married there too! Take a walk through some Christmas illuminations for romance, or just because they're pretty.

Other notes - People from home will appear this week too as it's a fourth wall event, so be on the lookout for them! And if all of this stuff doesn't work, feel free to choose your own wintry adventure!

"I appreciate you saying so," though she blushed ever so slightly. "Though I am not quite royalty. The Kirijo Group is a very wealthy and prominent group where I'm from though."

[kree_soldieress]

"Regality is more than birth," she said after a moment of thought. "It is how one is in the world I think."

[bufus]

"There's probably some degree of truth in that. I've never seen myself as royalty, though I certainly do recognize I grew up with considerable privilege's." Which is why she rarely complains about the things she doesn't quite understand how to do. "Even if it did leave me lacking some skills that most consider common logic."

[kree_soldieress]

"I do not believe that most skills are 'common logic'. There are many things I never learned, even if other Kree did, because it was not deemed needed."

Common was only defined by the group of people present and talking about things in her opinion.

[bufus]

"Unfortunately many things in my own world's culture are meant to be what most consider 'common logic'. Which should probably matter less here, but it's hard to shake the feeling that I should know how to do certain things." Particularly when she was rather self-conscious about it back home.

[kree_soldieress]

"Yes, that is probably true of me too. But that doesn't mean that I'm wrong to exist as I am. Or to learn new things."

And she smiled at that.

[bufus]

"That's a rather nice way to think of it. I've always been rather embarrassed by it myself." Even admitting that makes her blush.

[kree_soldieress]

"No," she says with a smile. "Don't be. Be proud of what you are, and for the chances to learn new things."

[bufus]

Mitsuru smiles back, though she's still blushing. "Thank you. Your kindness is appreciated."

[kree_soldieress]

Lauri-Ell smiles and nods.

"Kindness is what makes justice worth having, so I practice it."
