Summer Solstice Fair

The sun is shining, the Mognet is working again, and the summer solstice fair is here! The WRO hopes to makes this an annual thing, but this is the first year they're doing it. Everything you could ever want from a fair is here and open to the public.

*Fair Rides: Ferris wheels, a mini rollercoaster, that thing that looks like an octopus and spins around--the WRO spared no expense to make sure everyone would have fun here today. There's even a gravity ride that takes you up to the top of a pole and then drops you!

*Food: So much food. So much unhealthy food. Funnel cakes, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, you name it. And it's all fairly cheap too, since the WRO promised to pay for half of what the merchants sell!

*Carnival Games: And most of them aren't even rigged! The Gold Saucer donated games for the fair and there are so many games. There's your standard shooting games, some basketball games, a dunk tank, hoop tosses, you name it. A few are rigged, though, so buy beware! There's also a few card tables set up in a tent for those who like their games a little less wild.

*Speed Dating: ...yeah, the WRO has no idea. This came with the Gold Saucer stuff, along with a Cait Sith and Moogle mascot pair that will coax anyone they can into sitting down and participating.

*Job Fair: With the influx of new arrivals, both native and Streamers, some employers see a golden opportunity to get some jobs filled! In one corner of the fair is another, mini-fair fill with tables and presentations on various workplaces: the WRO, ShinRa Tech, the volunteer emergency services of Edge, and the Highwind Air Taxi Service, just to name a few. Anyone of working age is welcome to wander in and have a look around.

Of course, the fair is taking up the entire center of Edge, so there's lots more to see and do!

[Rufus stays seated, but oh is he not happy with what Cloud is insinuating.]

I run a technology development company, Cloud. My "scientists" know more about circuity and motherboards than the nervous system. None of us have any interest in Sephiroth beyond never seeing him again. If you want to be worried over scientists "trying something stupid", I would be more concerned with the WRO. They have several former ShinRa scientists in their employ.

[Be mad all you want, Rufus, but your company hasn't always been so technology based.]

I'm concerned with both. ShinRa wasn't exactly trustworthy in the past. You're changing the direction of the company more now, I'm glad to hear that. But I'm always going to be wary of what's going on. I'm always going to wonder what the motive underneath everything is because that's what ShinRa has done--it's made everyone paranoid.

[He wants to trust you. Deep down he really does. But there's just been too much shit that's gone wrong with the ShinRa named attached.]

And I've already got someone keeping an eye on the WRO. I'm not that blind to what could be going on, Rufus.

Hm.

[While Rufus can't deny that Cloud has a point, he also doesn't appreciate this attack]

I hope, then, that whoever you have keeping an eye on the WRO isn't biased. After all, people do tend to trust those they worked with in the past, even if those people weren't trustworthy to begin with.

["You are biased, I know you're biased, and I'm not taking your shit."]

[Oh he's well aware that he's biased, Rufus.]

Vincent's going to Mideel.

[Self explanatory right?]

I'm staying here so I can keep an eye on Edge.

[Tifa and Vincent would be proud of him for making that decision on his own.]

Of course you are.

[He doubts they'll let Vincent get close to the Lifestream on Mideel, honestly]

Was there anything else?

[Cloud would like to see you or anyone else try and stop Vincent. Because let's be honest. The guy has a knack for going wherever he wants.]

Not currently.

Then it might be best if you leave before one of the couerls decides you'd make a good cat tree.

["You've annoyed me."]

I will see you around, Cloud.

[That gets the faintest grin out of Cloud and he gives the other a slight nod.]

Wouldn't want that.

[And with a half-hearted wave as he turns, the blonde heads off.]
