From Melvien's Journal: Soul Puppet (03/13/2014)
Well, well, our dirt-caked Middle Lander has pried himself away from the teat of the coalitions and deigned to grace us with his presence.
Don't bother with formal appellations—with what has transpired lately, I shall permit you to refer to me as simply "Ingrid."
I have been called away from the order today by Melvien, who expressed a fervent desire to lay eyes on our most notorious device—the soul siphon.
Your trepidation, misplaced though it may be, is duly noted. Yet who better to harness its powers than me? And if Melvien expresses interest, who am I to deny him?
Now, off with you. The elites of this city have no time to coddle its pioneers like a mother chocobo weaning its newborn chicks.
Read on to learn the story behind the broken soul siphon in Ingrid's possession.

Egg Hunt 2014 - Jemimi's Mission: Impossible-Wossible (03/12/2014)
*chomp* *chew*
Urp!
Hnngh! *choke* *g-gulp!*
Phew.
W-were you watching that, kupo?
Swallowing an entire egg...that was eggs-tremely painful, kupo.
I didn't realize we had started already, kupo...
Umm...
So, egg-hunting season is upon us once again this year, kupo!
Collect "initial eggs," which have been labeled with single letters of the alphabet, and win the special prizes we at MHMU have prepared for you, kupo.
We put in a lot of effort to ready a new prize, too, kupo.
Of course, it goes without saying...
With a brand, spanking new prize comes the need for a brand, spanking new code word, kupo.
Adventurers, go forth! Happy hunting and best of luck in finding those codewords, kupo!
To see how the moogles came up with their code words for the egg hunt, look here.
