Journal

Still trembling from her brush with the paranormal, a dismayed maiden tells you the Gold Saucer is not host to spirits from beyond. Fearing such a disturbance could force the establishment to close down, she pleads with you to seek out Godbert Manderville, owner of the Gold Saucer, and lend him your aid to deal with this otherworldly threat.
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.

Godbert offers you a warm welcome, but quickly takes note of your grave expression. He wastes no time in telling you what he knows of the apparitions that have taken residence in the Saucer. Though he has yet to attain an accurate description of them, his staff claim they were last seen at Event Square.

A nearby patron, seemingly down on his luck, tells you of his plan to catch, not ghosts, but faeries he claims are hiding in the Saucer. He claims to have seem them heading in the direction of Wonder Square.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Dismayed Maiden: Ahhh! Please, stay away!

Dismayed Maiden: Oh, forgive me, I... I had a rather frightful experience at the Gold Saucer not long ago. Only now have I managed to catch my breath from running.

Dismayed Maiden: As I was making for Wonder Square, I was assaulted by a pair of ghastly white creatures careening down the hallway. I glimpsed them but only for a moment before they vanished into thin air!

Dismayed Maiden: I'm convinced the place is haunted. No doubt the poor souls of gamblers who lost one too many turns of Cuff-a-Cur.

Dismayed Maiden: Judging by your dress, I take it you're an adventurer, am I right? Please, you must go and purge the Gold Saucer of those spirits. With such frightful specters lurking about, it could spell the end of the establishment as we know it.

Dismayed Maiden: Even as we speak, Lord Manderville is doing all he can to get the situation under control, but I fear he is at his wit's end. You must hurry, before it is too late.

Dismayed Maiden: Lord Manderville is likely at the Gold Saucer deliberating on how to rid the Gold Saucer of its otherworldly infestation. Please, you must help him.

Meeting with Lord Manderville

Campaign Attendant: I'm terribly sorry, [sir/madam], but until we have discovered the source of the disturbances here at the Gold Saucer, and dealt with it accordingly, we are not permitted to sell any festival merchandise.

Godbert: Well, well, if it isn't my beloved son's faithful companion, [Player]u! I presume it was word of our festival that guided your steps to the Gold Saucer?

Godbert: Hmmm. No, your stern expression would suggest business of some other sort. No doubt it was the rumors of apparitions haunting the Gold Saucer, then.

Godbert: Then perhaps your arrival will mark the end to our misfortune. Indeed, there is truth to the talebearings that brought you here. My staff have reported sightings of strange, ghost-like figures floating about the halls as recently as this afternoon.

Godbert: They seem to vanish as quickly as they appear. As such, we have yet to ascertain an accurate description of these supposed spirits. But regardless of their appearance, both my staff and patrons are beside themselves with fright.

Godbert: These disturbances bode ill for the Gold Saucer. Might I call upon your assistance in sleuthing out the truth behind these sightings?

Godbert: They were last seen at Event Square, but there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to the comings and goings of these spirits. Tread lightly, my friend. These halls are not as safe as they once were.

Godbert: Whatever it is that stalks the halls of the Gold Saucer, it never lingers about in the same location for long. I would suggest you make haste to Event Square 'ere they vanish again into the aether.

Searching Event Square

Penniless Patron: Spirits running about the Gold Saucer? I don't rightly know what they are, but I mean to catch them.

Penniless Patron: Raising a chocobo for the races exhausted all of my savings, you see. But if I had those flying faeries or whatever they are, I could sell them to make up for my losses and then some.

Penniless Patron: I've searched everywhere, from the Cuff-a-Curs to the Cactpot cashier counter, and nothing. I had considered giving up, but just as you arrived, I thought I saw something in the hallway here. ...You don't think they've gone off to Wonder Square, do you?

Penniless Patron: If you find anything, you won't forget about me, will you? The man who tipped you off to the faeries' whereabouts.
