History in Pictures

Take the Xabu pictures [123106|Nicole Loppin] found to [123105|Wakka] and ask her about their meaning.

No...I simply don't know what to do anymore... These pictures I found earlier are really complicated. It's like every page is dancing in front of my eyes, I simply can't keep them apart. If this continues I won't be able to continue recording the Xabu history...

Wait, let me think. There's a pirate among the [SC_PIRATE_STARK|Shotak Pirates] who's also researching Xabu culture and habits. Her name is [123105|Wakka]. I noticed she seems to have developed some level of understanding with the Xabu in the village. Maybe she can understand the meaning of these illustrations. Could you take these pictures to her and ask about their meaning?

(You tell [123106|Nicole Loppin] [123105|Wakka's] suspicions...)

Ah, so that's what it's about! It's a ceremony for the water spirit. When there's a bad epidemic in the village or some other catastrophe occurs, they beg their ancestors for help. They help each other to wash off the spirits that cling to their bodies. That's why they call the ceremony the 'purification'.

Excellent, I have to write that down.

([123106|Nicole Loppin] writes down what you told her in her notebook, which is full to bursting with jottings.)

What's happening in this picture? Are they bathing? Or swimming? Surely they're not sunbathing?
