A Summer Solstice Festival seemed like a wonderful place to go to and get to know people. Or at least the city. Terra wasn't so good at the large social crowds. But she dressed as nicely as she could, hair up with a green ribbon and a red dress with long belled sleeves. She kept a dagger tucked in her tall boots because lets be honest, she grew up being a Magitek knight. She wasn't going to go to a strange place unarmed.
But it was so bright and beautiful! There was noise and laughter and music. It was like Edge had lit up over night, the melancholy lifted like clouds parting and sun shining down onto the people.
For once, she didn't feel like she was standing out with her choice of clothing colors but that didn't mean she wasn't accosted rather suddenly by two mascots. Despite her attempts to flee them, as politely as possible she somehow ended up agreeing to sitting down at one of the table, hands folded on top and cheeks pink.
This was not how her day was supposed to be going. She wasn't sure what 'speed dating' was but she was also absolutely certain this wasn't the time for it. She had hoped to reach the job fair....
This isn't Food
The sizzling is what caught her attention. She hadn't heard something sizzle quite that much. Sure, there was pan frying but fried food wasn't... It wasn't a thing. Terra had never seen it before. She ate either Vector slop, rations or the occasional extravagant meal provided by Edgar's kindness.
She leans to see what was just dropped into what appeared to be a very hot pot of sizzling oil and out comes a.... tube? One of the children beside her takes it and takes a big bite out of it, revealing it to be a cake filled with cream.
..Well that just.. .. She smiles incredulously, looking back at the selections.
