The celebrations have begun! These decorations are so much lovelier than I imagined. And those alchemists must have made this strange white stuff that falls from the sky in delicate little flakes. They have it drifting down from the skies above all three cities. I've never seen anything like it before, and though it is pretty it's very cold. And I don't really like the cold all that much.
The smilebringers around town have thought of everything though! They give gifts to those who ring the bells and spread cheer throughout the city, gifts that include the material to make wondrous red robes and hats, as well as wonderfully snug boots. And for those that look particularly kind, they hand out wrapped presents to give to the children in isolated towns. I've received a few completed pieces of this festive outfit by filling in for the smilebringers that can't make it to Aleport.
Wrapped up this warm though I can brave the frozen flakes that fall from the heavens! People in Luna Veneris have also got caught up in the festivities. The weavers and tanners have been crafting the robe, hats and boots to make sure nobody is left frozen in this cold weather. My dear friend, Gun Anam, has also given me a pair of velveteen tights in a stunning red so that I can stay fashionable in my robes and keep warm. How thoughtful of him!
He's even gifted me with a whole new outfit. Coatees are the latest fashion, and he has given me my very own linen coatee in beautiful blue! If that weren't enough he bought me matching bottoms, shortgloves and black velveteen gaiters. I paired it with my own blue canvas beret and bought a cute black half apron to finish the look. I think this is the first time I have ever worn anything in fashion.. And I feel so good!
I've found myself catching my reflection in mirrors and wondering who was looking back at me, I'm sure I don't normally look this adorable. Oh, and I can't believe I've been nominated for "Hottie of the Month". My friend, Miss Ilumi Blithe, is a photojournalist who brings us all the news from around Eorzea. As a bit of fun she announced this competition.. And so far.. I'm in the lead! I'm not sure when the poll closes, but I think anyone could still win, the lead is constantly changing after all..
Anyways, I hope everyone in Eorzea is enjoying the festivities!
