Christmas Party Quest

Ask Isaac. I'm sure he has a detailed paragraph about it. I think it has to do with some guy pretending to be the Versal mouse and ruining Christmas..

[SPOILER=Isaac's guess]

We've been chit chatting about this in IRC a bit, and my current prediction based on the way it's described in EMS and knowing how Nexon tweaks things to fit their purposes, is as follows:

Happyville is under attack by this mysterious person. Someone catches sight of a Green creature in purple clothing, and Maple Claws assumes it is O-Pongo, attempting to get revenge on them for Maplemas beating out Versalmas last year. Maple Claws asks you to go spy on O-Pongo and see what he's up to.

One skip to NLC later, and you find O-Pongo shocked and appalled at this accusation. O-Pongo has an idea who might be behind it, and asks you to clear his name. Return to Happyville to find the fairy, and get headed into the PQ. At the end, you run into the true Culprit, Cross, who was framing O-Pongo in his attempt to ruin both holidays. After defeating him, you inform Maple claws, who feels guilty and sends you back to O-Pongo with a gift of good will. O-Pongo, being a benevolent guy, naturally accepts, and the two are teamed up to spread seasonal cheer to everyone.

___
(tl;dr, Cross frames O-Pongo for destroying maplemas, clear his name by defeating cross)
___


Seems very Nexon-ian, wouldn't you agree? I also jokingly proposed that O-Pongo got lost in the forest for the last 9 months and came back crazy from starvation :p

We looked at the differences and similarities between Cross and O-Pongo...

As you can see, Cross has much smaller ears, a naturally crazy expression, a bigger staff, and a differently shaped face. He seems to be a dog. This fits with the already present nature of their relationships (O-Pongo being a mouse, Maple Claws being a cat) so if Cross is a dog then that puts him in a dominant spot. He's also lacking the sun badge O-Pongo has, though we can't really say if that's significant.

Note that it is speculation.
