Festival of Neggs 2024

About

The yearly Festival of Neggs has returned as a way to celebrate all things Spring- and negg-related. This year's Festival will begin on April 22nd, 2024 and end on May 7th, 2024.

How It Works

Kari, the Negg Faerie, is back this season and she is looking very grey! Every day Kari will provide clues for us to find her valued Neggs.

Once you have found the negg stash for the day, Kari will offer you one of three of the special themed Neggs. Upon choosing, she will give you a random one of the three prizes from that Negg. There are 5 different themed neggs in total, but each time you find the negg stash, she will randomly choose which three to offer you.

Finding the stash every day on the day of release will reward you with a bonus prize at the end of the event.

Event Dialogue

Scene 1
Character	Dialogue
Kari	Oh, another festival-goer...it is very good to see you. I am sorry if I am not myself. As I'm sure you can see I have been one of the victims of the unknown grey curse, and well...it has affected me more than I would like to admit. Unfortunately, I was struck by this curse before I could get much headway on this year's event... Luckily, I started on the creation of the neggs long before, but as for the hiding of the neggs and clues to find them...let's just say I am sort of winging it this year.... an unfortunate choice of words. Anyways, I sincerely apologise if I am unable to muster up my usual colourful self, but I hope you are still able to enjoy this year's festivities for the both of us!!
Scene 2
Character	Dialogue
Kari	I...I'm sorry for yesterday. I just can't seem to get myself together. Just give me a moment here, and I'll be ready with a decent clue today. I promise.
Orion	Hello, Kari. May I bother you for a moment?
Kari	Orion? What are you doing here?
Orion	Mira asked me if I could stop by. She said she would do it herself, but you already told her "Under no circumstances should she busy herself with the festival when the world needs her right now." And when she went to protest, you said if she even tried to stop by you'd "make her regret it". Which she refused to elaborate on.
Kari	Yes, I know that last part. I was there.
Orion	Right. Of course. My apologies.
Kari	No, no. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so curt. I'm just...well, you know.
Orion	No need to apologise. I fully understand. It is to that point that I have come here. I would like to accompany you and aid in another year's festivities. If you will have me that is.
Kari	Thank you for the offer Orion, but I heard about what happened during the Advent Calendar. Are you sure you are feeling well enough?
Orion	Yes! I admit I was in rough shape there for a time, but the intense dreams and visions subsided soon after. I was plagued for a bit once again during the month of Awakening, but neither I nor Queen Fyora could make sense of those visions. And ever since then not even the playing of the Lyre has brought forth a revelation.
Kari	So you're doing better? You still look rather...tired.
Orion	Now my studies for answers is what keeps me up most nights, but no need to worry about that. Let's get back to the matter at hand. I heard you were struggling to hide the neggs and provide adequate riddles for them? I shall happily take up those tasks for you, and all you need to worry about is seeing the smiling faces of those who find them! Sound good?
Kari	...I don't know what to say.
Orion	Just say today's riddle. I already have it written out for you!
Scene 3
Character	Dialogue
Orion	Kari...I, I had another dream last night...a strong one.
Kari	Oh no, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Orion	Yes...I'm sorry. I shouldn't be bringing this up during the festival.
Kari	It's okay, if there's one thing I know about my festival-goers, it is that they are often happy to help out whenever needed. So, if you feel comfortable doing so maybe you can tell me about your dream.
Orion	It was strange, it was the first one I've had that has so clearly been about some place in Neopia
Kari	Oh, yeah? Where was it?
Orion	I suppose I can't be certain, but the dream was dark besides that of the glow of molten lava. That has to be Moltara, right?
Kari	Seems like it. What does that mean though?
Orion	I don't know. I guess I can travel there tonight after I hide tomorrow's neggs.
Kari	Do you want me to come with you?
Orion	No, that's okay. You stay focused on the festival! I'll be back before you know it.
Scene 4
Character	Dialogue
Orion	Hi, Kari. I've got news on my mission.
Kari	Did you go to Moltara?
Orion	Yes, but I couldn't find anything.
Kari	Have you tried playing the Lyre again?
Orion	It hasn't done much since the intense visions of the Advent Calendar, and Queen Fyora has advised me to refrain from playing the Lyre whenever possible. But...yes, I did. However, I had barely started when there was a big quake in the city. After that, I was bombarded by multiple visions!
Kari	If you need to focus on this I would understand!
Orion	No, I gave my word to the great Space Faerie that I would help. Besides, I would not abandon my friend in her time of need!
Kari	Orion...I
Orion	Hush now! Not another word on the matter. Besides, the festival may be just what I need for these circumstances. I can't manage this search on my own, but perhaps your festival-goers can help out! I can keep an eye out as I hide the neggs, but if they could also look around as they search for them, then we would cover a lot of ground fairly quickly!
Kari	That's a great idea, but only if they feel up to it!
Orion	Of course! All that is needed is for them to keep an eye out for anything odd around Neopia and to report back to me if they happen to see anything. The festival can still go on like normal, and I can preserve energy. As well as look into why the visions are back and what they could mean! The visions are too jumbled for me to pinpoint a starting place, so please don't overwork yourself. Even if you can only report back one strange occurences a day that would be enough to help me out!
Scene 5
Character	Dialogue
Orion	Kari, if I may ask. How are you doing? I know there isn't much known about...what is happening, but I thought you may want to talk about it anyway.
Kari	I'm sorry Orion, I'm not sure I'm up for talking about me...but I do worry for the rest of Neopia. There have been a few well-known cases, but everyday citizens are starting to be affected at random. So there's no way to figure out how everyone could be connected. I've talked with Naia and nothing seems to be able to help. Not the fountain, paintbrushes...nothing. If something isn't done soon, I don't know what it could mean for Neopia. You might actually be one of our best hopes, Orion.
Orion	What do you mean?
Kari	Those visions of yours had you convinced something terrible was coming to Neopia. Perhaps they were meant to warn us of this grey curse?
Orion	I...I don't know. The things I've seen...they didn't really show anything useful.
Kari	I'm sure they did. In some way
Orion	I don't even know why or how they happened. Or why they are back now...I'm not sure I can take much more of this.
Kari	I believed in your abilities back when we first met, and I believe in you now. You'll figure something out!
Orion	Alright, if you can smile even through all this. Then I suppose I can keep pushing on as well.
Scene 6
Character	Dialogue
Orion	What you said to me the other day, about believing in my abilities back during last year's festivities. It got me got me thinking. Ever since I found the Lyre I have consulted my cards many a time, but never garnered much information from them when it came to anything pertaining to the Lyre or my visions. But during last year's festival, I was able to gather more power through the help of a festival-goer.
Kari	So do you need them to interact with your cards again?
Orion	No, sadly I think even with the help of many festival-goers, we would not be able to crack the secrets behind the Lyre with just my cards alone. But the premise behind the help I received is what struck an idea in my head. The strongest visions I've had happened during the Advent Calendar, one of the biggest events of the year. Tons of Neopians gather together to celebrate it. No visions I've had yet have matched the ones during that event, but I did encounter another bout of dreams and visions during the month of Awakening. They weren't nearly as strong, but they lasted for some time. And what was happening that entire month?
Kari	The Neopies?
Orion	Exactly! Another large gathering of Neopians! Just like I needed to gather power from another to make my card readings stronger, I think the Lyre must need the power of all of us gathered together to power it enough to send these messages!
Kari	That seems a little farfetched...
Orion	I know...it's just a theory. My other is that since it's a musical instrument, maybe the Lyre likes having a crowd to put on a show for. However, that one mainly seems silly.
Kari	Well, either way, if your theory on crowds of Neopians triggering your visions is correct, I'm afraid we are running out of time. There are only a few days left until the Festival of Neggs ends.
Orion	Yeah...if it ends so might my visions, and we won't know why I am receiving them once more. In that case, we all need to get back out there! I can feel that we are close to answers!
