## Chat

### Spring festival

**Ms. Carouse:** I adore Spring, little mortal!
The bright green buds of life reawakening; the roaring of rivers swollen with snow melt.
...And what about you, Scout? What sort of reawakening can I expect from you?
**Ms. Carouse:** Few signs of Spring delight me more than the return of the ducklings!
Find them, feed them, love them. Let their guileless waddling soothe your soul, little mortal.
**Ms. Carouse:** Springtime is orchid season on Cozy Grove!
Feed them pure water, and you may harvest the most delightful pigments from their petals.
**Ms. Carouse:** Baby ducklings never stop being cute. Not even after 10,000 years!
You never forget the first time they line up behind you. So precious!
**Ms. Carouse:** Can it really be Spring already? It feels like only yesterday that Winter was starting.
Time is ever more a blur to me, little mortal.
### Summer festival

**Ms. Carouse:** I love July. The freedom, the flights of fancy. Summer is a magical time!
You and I can make it even more magical together. We'll just need a little help from the imps.
Take care of them, and they may reward you with **sparks**. Sparks form the core of fireworks!
**Ms. Carouse:** Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be... like you. Experiencing the flow of time so linearly.
I... float... from Summer to Summer. Bringing my light to others.
What do Spring or Fall taste like, I wonder?
**Ms. Carouse:** Little mortal! You must understand. I'll be asleep again soon.
There's *so much light* for us to share with the others before then. We shouldn't hestitate.
**Ms. Carouse:** Has that rascal Kit been treating you well, little mortal?
Don't worry. He is good at his core. He does delight in his little games, though.
**Ms. Carouse:** Why light the ground with lamps when you can *light the sky*, little mortal?
**Ms. Carouse:** Mmmm... do you feel that? The heat. The sounds of summer. So good!
You and I, we can make this Summer even better! All we need are imps and their **sparks**.
With sparks, I can make fireworks, which you can deploy for the spirits of Cozy Grove!
I guarantee: the more spirits that witness my fireworks, the happier we'll all be.
### Fall festival

**Ms. Carouse:** Halloween is the best of all holidays, wouldn't you agree?
It gives people the chance to imagine themselves as *anything*. A child can become a hero and a titan.
You'll play along this Halloween, won't you, little mortal? Why, of course you will!
**Ms. Carouse:** Kit's still here, I see!
Hm. He's sticking around longer than usual.
There must be something special about you, little mortal.
**Ms. Carouse:** Thanks to you, the spirits of Cozy Grove will finally enjoy a *proper* All Hallows Eve!
You *must* dress up for them, little mortal. It's tradition!
**Ms. Carouse:** It's Halloween, dear Scout!
Will you be a monster? A hero? An object? A beast?
Ooh, would you let me pick *for* you? I'll pretend I'm you, for a moment.
**Ms. Carouse:** I've never understood why most of the world celebrates Halloween for just a single day.
It is the *best* of holidays. We celebrate it for days here in Cozy Grove!
Let me help you get into the swing of things, little mortal.
### Winter festival

**Ms. Carouse:** Winter is a special time, little mortal. A time of reflection.
In magical places like this, *even the snowmen* have stories to tell.
They are the echoes of lives long since ended. Their voices, like their actions, are still rippling outward through time.
Most people underestimate their own impact, little scout.
**Ms. Carouse:** Snow sculptures are such a wonderful part of winter!
Creating something temporary can be so freeing.
It doesn't have to be "good". It doesn't have to be robust. It doesn't have to fit in its place forever.
Isn't that beautiful?
**Ms. Carouse:** Have you spoken with any snowpeople today?
They think so little of themselves, but their memories take my breath away.
**Ms. Carouse:** Is there anything more joyous than a snowball fight, little mortal?
I can't think of a better blend of harmless naughtiness and pure delight!
**Ms. Carouse:** I never tired of the winter cold, little mortal! It's a great excuse for a hug.
