▶ EVENT.017
The hottest and longest days of the year have arrived, leaving everyone sweating from the sweltering summer heat as Lunatian and Lyestellian residents excitedly prepare to sojourn to Amegahara. Lord Bairen formally invites everyone to the first Vulpus Astra Celebration, featuring all three city-states. The festival will be held at sundown to escape the summer heat. It goes without saying that preparations will be done earlier in the day.
When the clock strikes six as you travel along Inari Highway, you can already spot the fireworks painting the sunset sky. In the distance, you hear the vigorous drum playing and raucous voices of the Amegaharans, promising a lively affair.
The main event will take place by the Akeboshi Sea, said to possess waters so clear that it can perfectly reflect every constellation in the night sky. The Amegaharans are very strict about keeping it pure and will not tolerate any polluting! In the waters lurks its powerful guardian beast: a monstrous three-headed sea hydra that is said to drag anyone who dares sully his home into the cold ocean depths, where he ruthlessly rips them apart limb by limb. They call him... “Momo.”
... He’s cute when you give him headpats.
▶ Gonna Dress You Up in My Love
07/25 | Akeboshi Sea, City of Amegahara | top
The venue by the sea is filled with countless outdoor tents, lines of colorful booths, and a raised stage for performers where you can watch the results of hard practice of these dancers fully come to life. You will find bright blue paper lanterns hanging all over the festival and spot billowing steam rising from all the outdoor barbecues. The locals will guarantee no one leaves the venue hungry. Try their super bass rice bowl, best paired with chilled sake!
The glassware and accessories found around the festival may be familiar. Did you make some of them? One of the stalls sell drink-inspired jewelry, a rising trend among Amegaharans and Lunatians alike. Careful now — if you fill these rings with enough Chroma, you might feel a little tipsy yourself!
Prismals everywhere are deep into the party spirit and aren’t shy to bust a move. Prismals of all kinds, from tall and well-built dragons to scantily clad foxes, will offer to dance with the Moonblessed. The crowd also encourages the Moonblessed to dance with each other!
Any Prismal or Moonblessed who’s partied too hard or had too much to drink may be brought into nearby medical tents to rest or detoxify.
In honor of the first day of the festival, “Yukata Day”, standard dress for the Vulpus Astra Celebration includes a full set of yukata or haori and other traditional Amegaharan garb, all of which Amegaharans will encourage attendees to wear.
▶ Somewhere Beyond the Sea, Somewhere Waiting for Me
07/26 | Four Penguins Spa, Akeboshi Sea | top
The second day of the festival is punctuated with a glorious tribute to the sea. The Amegaharans rather unoriginally call it “Sea Day.” The beloved hydra Momo will be offering free rides through the Akeboshi Sea on his back and act as a silent tour guide. He will ferry Moonblessed to a sacred island with the best view of the sea.
This island is surrounded by stunning marine life protected by law. The lovely flowers put together by Prismals and Moonblessed decorate the small shrines along the island paths. On this island, the Cordis moon can be seen at night anytime, but there are no effects outside of its lunar cycles. Only you, your partner, and a tranquil romantic view. It’s a chance to catch up if you have matters to talk about or fights to settle.
Compared to last evening’s party mood, this evening calms the senses. The tour is perfect for those suffering from hangovers.
▶ Come Along and Ride on a Fantastic Voyage
07/30 - 07/31 | Dimension X | top
On the final night of the festival, the city lights dim at midnight as everyone turns eyes towards the sky. The Vulpus constellation suddenly flashes with a bright light before vanishing without a trace. You hear the frightened tittering of Amegaharans as they wonder what happened. Has their beloved constellation disappeared?
All will soon come to light as a large kitsune appears, riding on the back of the mother dragon, Lyestella, who has recovered enough to rescue her dear friend from his sealed prison at long last. He will step off the dragon and announce that he is Vulpus, here to help restore the planet to its former glory after the cataclysm.
The two gods weave a tale of the old days: Vulpus and Lyestella had been the rulers of their respective people as the planet thrived. Many ancient races and their kingdoms all lived together in harmony. However, something gave life to the Beasts of the Calamity. They do not know what or how. When the beasts attacked, there was no time to react as whole empires collapsed and the planet was drained of life. The ancient Prismals lost their ability to moonlace and the gods were sealed. It was a one-sided war that ended too quickly.
Once you return, Vulpus will fervently apologize for lying and that he cannot send you back as he can only create illusionary worlds. He thought the Moonblessed might take comfort in seeing their home again even for a single day.
Perhaps, with more Chroma being produced from the Moonblessed, a real method can be discovered in the near future. He kindly asks you to honor him by vigorously engaging in amorousness at his famous temple in Amegahara. He likes to watch.

A If you still don’t have your own yukata, Lunatia’s popular fashion brand, Prissy Polyp, will have an eye-catching booth at the venue that will be giving all Moonblessed fabulous Chromawear yukata for free!
These special yukata will appear plain white when you put them on, but the cloth will soon absorb colors and patterns based on your thoughts, allowing you to customize them after some concentration. However, an unforeseen side effect lets them accidentally absorb designs and images from other Moonblessed should you happen to accidentally brush against them. You may end up with patterns of your friend’s lunch or their crush’s smiling face emblazoned all over your yukata. Thankfully, the side effects naturally wear off in half an hour.
Chromawear yukata can’t be worn alone by design, so you’ll inevitably need to ask your fellow Moonblessed for a hand. The booth staff will gladly provide instructions as well as a large tent with multiple changing rooms, separated by curtains. This tent is located next to Prissy Polyp’s booth!

B A health and wellness spa and bathhouse called Four Penguins can be found by the shoreline, overlooking the waters and Amegahara’s distant city view. Rumors say that a dip in their magical baths will make you want to splash free and enjoy the water to an almost manic degree. Being in it, being near it, being covered in it will make you feel good to the point of pleasure and elation. It doesn’t matter if it’s seawater, drinking water, or bath water. You will want to be deep inside it and may even want to pull someone in to soak with you. What better way to honor the glorious Akeboshi Sea? This obsession with water and wetness will not stop until you have successfully moonlaced with someone.

C Once finished with his introduction, Vulpus will grant the Moonblessed his grand blessing to finish off the celebration. A large portal in the shape of a blue star will appear, serving as a gateway that will supposedly allow temporarily means to reach their worlds and bring along others with them.
On the other side is a large dimension, called Dimension X, where countless worlds have converged together into one large spectacle. For instance, the towering urban architecture of Gotham City can be found next to the majestic frozen wall of the Night’s Watch.
As you tour this unknown space, you might see your families and loved ones lingering about or eventually encounter the familiar road leading to your home. However, some things may be slightly strange, such as a relative’s hair color being different than what you remember or their mannerisms are suddenly off. You find that close friends left behind have become angry and violent towards you, or previously dead relatives are suddenly alive.
It quickly dawns on you that something is very wrong with this world. Well, foxes are known for their trickery.
Once you return, Vulpus will fervently apologize for lying and that he cannot send you back as he can only create illusionary worlds. He thought the Moonblessed might take comfort in seeing their home again even for a single day.

▶ NOTES
MOMO ▶ Momo is generally peaceful, but he will not hesitate to attack polluters like an underwater guard dog, either throwing gigantic water waves at offenders or picking them up with his long tail then flinging them far away. Momo is amicable and can be befriended. Aside from headpats, he likes playing beach volleyball with his tail!
