Filbo's Cold Welcome, also referred to as A Minor Celebration, is the first event of the main quest. It becomes available after getting Beffica and Gramble back to Snaxburg.
With Beffica and Gramble having returned to town, Snaxburg is 5 Grumpuses strong, and Filbo thinks this calls for a Welcome Back Party. He thought too fast because the very reason of The Fight has not met closure.
Wambus blames Gramble on the community falling apart and Gramble blames Wambus's inability at his farming job that would leave them no choice but to eat Gramble's kin. Wambus mocking Gramble's desire to be loved by his kin makes way for Gramble to point out that Triffany left Wambus. In rage, Wambus opens the pathway to the Scorched Gorge.
Filbo being disappointed the party did not work out as well as he planned peer-pressures The Journalist into consuming a Bugsnak, which they optionally are somewhat suspicious of. They learn the hard way they have every reason to think so, as they seemingly faint. They end up spending the rest of the night in the Outhouse with a concerned Filbo at the door.
You look excited.
You're really doing it! You're bringing everybody back! You even got Beffica here, and...she's awful, heh! You know what we should do? We should throw a welcome back party!
Yeah, let's do it!
I'm not ready yet...
*Skips to night time - Party starts*
Hey there, Bestie, good to see you! Finally somebody worth talking to. Living here is better than that cave, but it's still pretty dull. Like, where's the drama at?
Thanks for coming to the party, Beff!
I, like, live here now. You started a party around ME.
Well, I'll take what I can get! How's the bug juice?
Isn't this just water?
Well, ah, it's...it's bug-infused!
So it's about as strong as you? *scoff* I give this party two out of ten.
Howdy, Stranger. Seems yer gettin' along just fine. Farm's doin' okay on my end... Shindigs like this don't sit right with me. Feels like I should be gettin' work done.
Welcome to the party, Wambone!
We are not friends.
Oh, hey! You remember Charwee? How's my little Sprout doin'? He miss his papa? Ohhh, of course he does. Maybe you should let me watch him fer a few days... maybe even a week...or a year or two.
Gramble! Welcome back! How's the barn?
Well, it's good n' locked.
Uh, great! It's good to be...secure!
What happened to the Snax you were 'babysittin' for me?
Grrrrrreat catching up with you, buddy!
Like, one time I crashed a bachelorette party for one of the Grumpdashians. Turns out it was the bride's 17th wedding. We. Got. Totes. Wild.
I don't take to nicknames. Wambus'll do fine. Or Mister Troubleham if yer a doctor.
I better check my barn soon... Can't be too careful around these Grumps.
Uh...come on, everybody. It's a party! WooOoo... Drink, mingle, get wild! Beffica, doesn't this music make you want to dance?
With you? As if. My new Bestie is the only reason I'm here.
Wambus, Gramble, you two probably have loads to talk about!
I got nothin' to say to a guy like Wambus.
That so? I got plenty to say to you.
Oh yeah? Well, go on and say it!
It's your fault we're in this mess. If youda let us eat your precious livestock, we coulda kept together.
They weren't livestock, they were my little ones! My kin! You lied and stole them away cuz you can't grow food for yourself!
You think these walkin' vegetables are your family? I got news for you, Gramble. Bugsnax will never love you.
Ooooo, you don't know a thing about love! That's why your wife left you!
I'm gonna do violence to ya.
Hehehe ha hey, let's aaall take a breath here and-
Don't you act like you're in charge. If you had the spine to lead us, everybody would still be here.
Don't you mean... Triffany would still be here?
FINE! All-a y'all gang up on me. It don't make me wrong! You all want Triffany back so bad, go find her yerself!
*Wambus runs off to rake away the cacti blocking the path to Scorched Gorge*
OMG, that was SO juicy. This party is now a four out of ten.
I know all about love! Y'all don't even know. Just because I don't weep all the time.
There, there, Charwee. Nothing to be scared of. Papa's not gonna let those mean ol' Grumpuses eat you.
Well, that wasn't ideal... But maybe after a few dozen more parties, we'll all be friends again! *Sigh* Either way, thanks for being here, Buddy. Oh hey, I just realized, you haven't had any Bugsnax yet! Well, you must be starving! Well here, have a Strabby on me. Maybe we can end this night on a high note!
I'm not sure I want to eat that.
Oh, come on, at least try it! You gotta be curious, right?
My journalistic integrity forbids me.
Huh? How can you write about Bugsnax without first-hand experience?
Down the hatch.
That's the spirit!
*The Journalist collapses, next scene takes place at the Outhouse*
A-are you okay? Oh gosh, I'm so sorry, Buddy. I, uh, guess you're allergic to Bugsnax? Didn't see that coming, haha.
Don't worry about it.
Just give me some space.
...Alright, as long as you're fine. I'll, um, I'll get outta your hair.
