MAYARUMOYARU
Ah, hello, hello! Just the adventurer I was looking for. Feelin' the heat? Well, nothing like a good swim in Costa del Sol to cool downーand while you're there, you might as well enjoy the Moonfire festivities!
Hello there! You look to me like an adventurer who can enjoy a good festival when they see one. And if I may say so myself, the Moonfire Faire is the finest of 'em in all of Eorzea!
The faire has served to promote the Adventurer's Guild in recent years. I expect plenty of folks'll join the fun this year as well, as no one will want to miss the exciting show we're putting on.
That's rightーdue to popular demand and the wishes of Master Gegeruju himself, we brought that back!
Intrigued, aren't you? Sate your curiousity by speaking with Haermaga in Costa del Sol!
Look for Haermaga on the Isle of Endless Summer at Costa del Sol. He can tell you everything you need to know!
HAERMAGA
Ah, Forename, here at last! You're here to give that a whirl, aren't ya? That hulking monstrosity erected upon the shore...
Welcome to the Moonfire Faire, fair adventurer! You're here to give that a whirl, aren't ya? That hulking monstrosity erected upon the shore...
That imposing fortress that turns grown men into weeping babes, that crucible which forges the fiercest of warriors or spits out their mangled remainsーaye, the Eorzean Nimble Warrior course!
We've had some issues here and there which prevented us from constructing the course anew for a time, but we made it work this year to satisfy the fierce demand from our patrons.
But it hasn't merely returnedーoh no, it's been updated, refined and I daresay it's a course...reborn!
While the newly available circuit is not physically demanding, it is no less a spectacle. We recruited the finest Gold Saucer technicians and a certain bomb expert to craft a veritable mother lode of bombs into the new attraction!
'Tis a trial that tests the resolve of fledgling and experienced adventurers alike, as all shall be forced to not only calculate the timing of the impending explosions, but avoid the shockwaves that follow them too. If you think you're up to the task, then by all means, show everyone watching how it's done!
Heh, you look eager to give it a whirl despite all the risks. And yet I don't get the sense that you're underestimating the challenge before you either... <sigh> It would do the young lad good to see the temperament of a pro like yourself, would that he could learn from your example.
Ah, seeing the course in all its newfound glory got me reminiscing about a certain adventurer who once braved it. What to do about him...
Hmph.
Hey, you wouldn't mind lending me a hand with something, would ya? When you're not busy running the course, naturally. Give me a shout after this if you're interested.
You'll lend a hand then? You have my gratitude. The matter in question is in regards to a certain new...ah, I suppose he isn't new anymore. Well, anyway, I want you to act as a model of sorts for a certain young adventurer.
He's no stranger to you of courseーrecall a fella by the name of R'fhul Tia? Came to the Moonfire Faire with his lil sis R'mahja before, remember? The lad went and became an adventurer, and seems to have some experience under his belt now, but...
The lad's name is R'fhul Tia. Comes to the Moonfire Faire regularly with his lil sis R'mahja, and seems to be a well-meanin' fella for the most part. Recently, though...
Well, to put it simply, he's puttin' on airs. You'd better see him for yourself to get the real picture. I saw him heading to the north of the island with his sister earlierーyou should be able to find him there.
While he has his issues, there's no doubt in my mind that he has a promising future as an adventurer. I'll leave it up to you to decide how you want to go about it, but guide him back to the right path, would ya?
R'fhul Tia should be in the northern region of the island. How you go about it is up to youーjust guide him back to the right path.
RMAJHA
I begged my brother to bring me to the Moonfire Faire again this year, I just love it sooo much! And its even more fun because he's with me!
ADVENTURERA04540
W-Wait a minute, you're...I can't believe this, you're like one of my heroes!
ADVENTURERB04540
Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Our mentor predicted you would join the festivities.
RFHULTIA
Long time no see, Forename! I had a feeling we'd meet again. Don't be shy now, Majha, say hello!
RMAJHA
Hi, Forename! I'm so happy I could meet you again! We're gonna have so much fun today!
RFHULTIA
Ah, might you be Forename? I'm so happy I could finally meet you, I could nearly cry...! O-Oh right, this right here is my little sister!
RMAJHA
Pleased to meet you, MissMister Adventurer! My name is R'majha! Will you be playing with us today?
RFHULTIA
There's been something I want to tell you, if I ever got the chance...I've graduated from being a mere novice adventurer. Hells, I even have followers now!
Though, I suppose this is a rather natural trajectory for someone of my obvious talent.
Now, pray allow my precious followers to introduce themselves.
ADVENTURERA04540
The mentor I respect respects you, so if you really think about it, I must respect you too! And somebody that commands such respect must be incredible, eh? It's an honor misssir, truly!
ADVENTURERB04540
Heh...I've been hearing all kinds of amazing rumors about you for some time now, Forename. It's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance.
RFHULTIA
So, I take it you also heard the rumors about that and decided to join in the festivities, Forename?
I can't lie, I'm itchin' to give the ol' course a go! I hear they've even added a new bombastic circuit to it, but for a prodigy like me who completed it as a novice...
The real challenge'll be not to fall asleep from boredom. Can't afford to make any unseemly mistakes as a rising star, after all!
Q1
What will you say?
A1
Break a leg.
You could try, you know, not being cocky as well?
...You've completed the course before?
RFHULTIA
Heh, I appreciate your support, but it is quite unnecessary. I'll put on a dazzling performance as I overcome it regardless.
Still, it's an honor to receive encouragement from the person I look up to. Thank you, Forename!
Nonsense, I'm being confident, not cocky! It just came out naturallyーI guess this is what happens when you become a respectable adventurer, eh?
Watch me out there, Forename. I'll show you just how far I've come when I tear through that course!
Wh-What are you s-saying, Forename! And in front of my impressionable followers no less! You should be well aware of my historic achievement!
Make no mistake, I've completed the course. The old me who made one blunder after another is gone. You'll see, just watch!
RMAJHA
Are you sure you're okay, Fhul? You've been acting weird lately...
RFHULTIA
Am I okay? Hah! I'm better than ever. Don't you worry one bit, Mahjaーyour big bro's a fully-fledged adventurer now.
FHULTIA
From the moment I became an adventurer, I've always looked up to you, Forename. There's no one I want watching me accomplish my finest achievement more than you. If you can spare a moment to watch, please wait near the starting line. Hope to see you there!
RMAJHA
Fhul...
ADVENTURERA04540
It'll be okay, Majha. It's your brother after all. He'll pull through, surely...
ADVENTURERB04540
Yes, you most likely have nothing to worry about, my dear...
RMAJHA
Please Forename, watch over my brother's performance!
HAERMAGA
Damn you, Beaudefoin....
...Eh? Ah, it's nothing. Don't concern yourself with my problems, young R'fhul needs all the help he can get.
RMAJHA
Fhul...I really hope he'll be okay.
ADVENTURERA04540
He'll be fine. My mentor wouldn't make a fool of himself, right...?
ADVENTURERB04540
Recently, R'fhul's been... Sorry. Forget I said anything.
RMAJHA
Do you see my brother? I can't see anything from here...
BEAUDEFOIN
(-???-)Aha, I sense a damsel in distress! Fear not, young maiden, for we are here to the rescue!
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)Ahem... Let the games begin! I, Beaudefoin, will humbly serve as main commentator of the proceedings.
HAERMAGA
(-Commentator Haermaga-)<sigh> ...And I, Haermaga, will serve as co-commentator.
BEAUDEFOIN
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)Together, not even the slighest happening shall escape our glorious commentation!
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)Now then, let us take a look at our first contestant, the up and coming adventurer R'fhul Tia! With such a daunting task before him, who knows what could be running through his mind right now. What do those stern blue eyes of yours see, Haermaga?
HAERMAGA
(-Commentator Haermaga-)The lad looks eager to get up and at it, and in terms of physique, he looks to be in fine shape as well. That said, I can't help but notice some nervous energy in him as well.
BEAUDEFOIN
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)Thank you for the astute observations, Haermaga. Let's wish him the best of luck outー Ah! The contestant has just took off at a run, and is presently making his way to the first jet of water!
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)And he soars through the sky expertly! Wow, just look at that landing!
HAERMAGA
(-Commentator Haermaga-)A splendid feat indeed. He managed it all without losing his footing. This is proof of his experience as an adventureーhe's well accustomed to moving under all kinds of circumstances.
BEAUDEFOIN
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)And now, he is faced with a decision that will change the course of his fate. Does he take the tried and true path, or try his luck at the new circuit...
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)What decision do you think our sprightly contender will make, Haermaga?
HAERMAGA
(-Commentator Haermaga-)The new circuit requires a contestant to have the grit to be calm and collected before the looming barrage of bombs that lie in wait. Unfortunately, I sense much fear in this one. If I were in his shoes, I would pick the old circuit without a second thought, but...
BEAUDEFOIN
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)Ah, he's on the move! It seems he's made his decision: the new circuit! The timing of his movements leave much to be desired, however...
HAERMAGA
(-Commentator Haermaga-)Even the slightest moment's hesitation could lead to a messy result, and I fear he teetered for too long... Cover your eyes folks, this could get ugly.
BEAUDEFOIN
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)He managed to dodge the first explosion! And the second, the third, and theーgood Gods, the shockwave of the fourth explosion has sent him flying like a shooting star!
(-実況のボドゥフォアン-)……は無理!
爆風を受けて、空に高々と舞い上がったーーーーッ!
(-Commentator Beaudefoin-)Ladies and gentlemen, with saltwater still licking his wounds, I regret to inform you that our contestant has been disqualified!
RMAJHA
No, no, no, this is bad! This is really, really bad!
BEAUDEFOIN
(-Beaudefoin-)Well, the audience has left, so this seems as fine a place as any to end the commentation. Please, go. R'fhul Tia needs your help.
HAERMAGA
(-Haermaga-)Right. I hope you haven't forgotten my request. I'm counting on you.
Screw Beaudefoin, wily little bastard. Told him hundreds of times I'm not interested in commentating, but he still managed to get his way in the end... Er, mind if I ask what you thought of myーyou know what, nevermind. I don't want to know...
BEAUDEFOIN
I leave the matter of R'fhul Tia's rescue in your capable hands!
RMAJHA
Fhul? Can you hear me?
ADVENTURERA04540
Not like this, R'fhul...not like this.
ADVENTURERB04540
I had my suspicions, but I hoped they wouldn't prove to be true...
RFHULTIA
I-I owe you one, Forename...
Ah, lest you all misunderstand, I wasn't actually being serious before. If I really wanted to complete the course, I could've done it with my hands behind my back!
But it'd hardly be entertaining if I just finished it in an instant. There's no drama. Now, when I go back and plow through it, the crowd'll go wild! Genius, eh?
ADVENTURERA04540
Wait a minute, R'fhul... Is that what you really think? If so, I've lost faith in you.
RFHULTIA
Oh, uh, erm, I mean... I'm a proper adventurer, so I need to amaze everyone, y'know?
ADVENTURERB04540
No, R'fhul... You're wrong. It's a shame, but this is where we part ways. We misjudged you... Farewell.
RFHULTIA
Wh-Why... Why is this happening! What did I do wrong?! Tell me! Tell meeeeee!
