Rest Ashored, Love is in the Garden! (01/29/2014)
Today is Valentione's Day! Tomorrow is Valentione's Day! The day after tomorrow is Valentione's Day!
It's happy Valentione's Day every day until you finally receive your chocolate, kupo!
Now that the day has arrived, kupo...
Send a gift to that special person in your life to showyour affections, kupo!
Now is the time for Valentione's Day.
A chance that only comes once a year, kupo!
Yet, perhaps some are feeling a bit too shy to give their chocolates.
And perhaps others are experiencing constant anxiety waiting to receive theirs.
It can be a nerve-racking time, or so I've heard, kupo.
Not to worry – we moogles are here to help adventurers such as you, kupo!
What's important is courage, kupo.
Gather up all you can muster, and let's meet Valentione's Day head-on!
Leave it up to Mog Mail for all your chocolate delivery needs!
And you know...
Sometimes even moogles wish for an occasional chocolate from their masters, too...
Ahem.
I-it's nothing, kupo! A little truth just slipped out, that's all, kupo.
Well then, have a great Valentione's Day!
To read more about a certain Mog Garden incident that even slipped by the ever-helpful moogles' notice, look here.

Melvien's Personal Reflections: Box Garden World (01/16/2014)
Oh, you're the, umm, adventurer...what was your name again? You seem as busy as always.
What is it that I am holding, you ask? It's a playboard. I found it when I was cleaning the mansion. Master instructed me to move it to the outbuilding, as it's a bit too large to keep here.
Oh, you're interested in it, are you?
You're certainly welcome to take a look. It covers the entire table when you unfold it. Look, drawn over here is...
The continent of Ulbuka, you say?
Ah, so you know of the place. That is precisely right. By the way, do you know of "The Great Expedition?" This playboard is a game that depicts the events of The Great Expedition. The game was immensely popular when my master was still a student... I myself was allowed to play it once in the past, but oh my, it was a challenge.
You wish to play?
Hm...now where did the instruction book get to...
Read on to learn the story behind Melvien's playboard.

Galloping into the New Year! (01/01/2014)
Happy New Year, kupo!
This year, once again it is our intention at the MHMU to continue our wholehearted support and care of each and every adventurer, kupo! But, erm...let's see...what does 'intention' mean again, kupo...?
Well, putting that aside, it seems that once again this year, in accordance with Far Eastern tradition, very special beasts that have been designated to be the deities of the New Year can be found walking about various parts of Vana'diel, kupo.
This year's deity of the New Year is...the Alicorn!
The Alicorn is a very rare and curious creature, so no doubt many of you adventurers will be making pilgrimages to see it, kupo.
This is just a rumor, but I've heard the goblins are up to no good. They're planning to target the numerous adventurers who will be out on their pilgrimages, kupo!
So it might be a good idea to be on your guard, just in case you happen to run into those guys somewhere, kupo.
Read on to find out more about the goblins' plans to target adventurers out on their pilgrimage.
