Moon Festival

1. #1Red Envelopesselective

   Keys: red letter, red letters, red envelope, red envelopes

   Red envelopes contain gifts, bequests, requests or punishments, officially attributed to the Moon Empress. Few envelopes contain anything so pedestrian as money; many contain opportunities tailored for the recipient, intended to shift their life onto an entirely different, better course. Some few contain amazing gifts like deeds to land on the moon, spaceships or small, distant planets. The rarest gift they're rumoured to grant is an audience with the Empress. The luckier a person is, the better the gift they receive from opening an envelope.

2. #2Rabbitsselective

   Keys: rabbit, rabbits, hare, hares

   Talking rabbits; genetically-engineered, uplifted rabbits created and raised on the Moon to serve the Moon Empire. They're all extremely cute, and usually wear ornate embroidered clothing; most wear red, gold, silver or white today, and some are wearing little paper dragon masks. Some are loyal to the Empire and the Empress, some wish for better rights for rabbitkind within the Empire, and some yearn to visit Earth. They're all certain the Moon Empress exists and thank her daily for their lives... or else. The rabbits all know what the red lanterns really are; surveillance drones. They're very careful to just call them lanterns.

3. #3Event: Fireworks!constantselective

   EVENT: Fireworks explode in the night sky; bright and colourful enough they must surely be visible from Earth.

4. #4Moon Palaceselective

   Keys: Moon Palace, Palace

   The Moon Palace; a beautiful crystalline building located on the moon, the seat of the Moon Empire's power and authority, and the home of the Moon Empress. Heavily guarded and not open to the public without invitation, except during the festival. The innermost sections are still off-limits, though.

5. #5Red Lanternsselective

   Keys: drones, drone, surveillance, dissent, rebel, rebels, rebellion, assassin, assassins, assassination, attack, fight, riot, bomb, bombs, trespass, invade, invasion

   Ever-present surveillance drones float above the festival grounds, slowly orbiting the Moon Palace, watching and listening for signs of trouble, rebellion or dissent. For the festival, they've been disguised as red lanterns.

   Keys: one, 1, six, 6, seven, 7

   One, six and seven are a lucky numbers; the year makes this festival particularly auspicious.

7. #7Event: Disguised Nobilityconstantselective

   EVENT: Nobles of the Moon Empire don't always want to be identified; some attend the festival incognito... or try to, but usually stand out in some way. Surely the Moon Empress would never do this, right?

14. #14Red Lanternsselective

    Keys: lantern

    Beautiful red lanterns softly glow as they float in the skies above the festival grounds. If watched for a while, it becomes obvious they're circling the Moon Palace.

15. #15Event: A Gift!constantselective

    EVENT: Red envelopes are presented to festival-goers by the rabbit stall-keepers; no-one knows if they're handed out randomly or by design, and the rabbits aren't telling. Don't open it immediately; have some patience.

16. #16Moon Empireselective

    Keys: empire

    The immortal lunar empire; the Moon never sets upon it. Primarily because it rules from the Moon, always overseeing Earth, its closest vassal planet. The Moon Empire controls almost the entire solar system, with the exception of a few rebel bases scattered through the asteroid and kuiper belts.

17. #17Festival Stallsselective

    Keys: stall, stalls, stand, stands

    The festival stalls are myriad and varied; exotic food stalls, festival games, and shop-stalls full of wonders from across the whole empire grace the festival grounds with their presence. This year there's a distinct dragon-ish theme to everything, for obvious reasons.

18. #18Event: Broken Lanternconstantselective

    EVENT: The red lanterns floating above the festival aren't completely reliable; one crashes to the ground, sparking and smoking. It seems the floating lanterns are just decorated drones, and they can malfunction. Or maybe something is interfering with them?

19. #19Event: Rebel Scum?constantselective

    EVENT: Rebels opposing the Moon Empire skulk about the festival, lurking in the crowds of festival-goers; trying to be unobtrusive as they foment unrest, for the most part, though sometimes fights break out between them and the Empire guards posted about the festival.

20. #20Event: Paradeconstantselective

    EVENT: A parade slowly wends through the festival grounds, the crowds making room for it. It's headed by a large paper dragon supported by very many tiny rabbit feet.

    EVENT: someone hands {{user}} one of the small talking rabbits and laughs before running off.

25. #25Event: I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!constantselective
