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!

[While she's a little surprised to see Rude without his red-haired other side of the coin, it's not a bad surprise. She thinks that Rude talks a bit more when Reno's not there to do it for him and she's got a bit of a soft spot for the quieter Turk. There's a great deal of history between AVALANCHE and the Turks and if its not forgotten she thinks its all right if its left behind. They've both got a lot to make up for. Today? Today can be another part of that.]

Tart apple, citrus mix, sweet berry and something blue.

[A quick smile for the last one and she offers:]

We can mix and match flavors too.

[Her smile goes a little less 'sales' and a little more real.]

How've you been, Rude?

[He considers for a moment.]

Citrus and berry.

[Tifa's genuine smile and interest in how he's doing makes him smile again.]

Busy, but good. You?

[He'd elaborate, but it's official Turk business and all.]

[Somehow she isn't surprised in the least that Rude would ask for a ying yang mix of flavors and she starts packing an ice cone as she listens to the rest.

His succinct answer makes her smile again. You don't have to be verbose to get things across and Rude's a scientist at brevity. Ying yang in his partnership with Reno that was sure.

Turk business and all. She doesn't ask for elaboration.]

Doing well. Just hired a few helpers for Seventh. Kids are doing great. [Something she holds him partially responsible for after last year's conflict with the clones. She hasn't forgotten that. She won't. Past differences aside, he'd helped save her children.] Cloud too. And so far the only streamers I've run into seem safe.

[Her head lifted as she swirled the two flavors into the ice. Met his eyes as much as anyone could through his sunglasses.] If they're not, let's not take so long doing things separately again this time, okay?

That's good to hear.

[And it really was. He feels a bit remiss on not having checked on how they were doing sooner. It honestly hasn't felt like it's been that long, but he's been so busy with ShinRa, Mognet and now this whole streamer business, it's a wonder he's even getting the time to enjoy the festival.]

Of course. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

[Rude gives her a soft smile. He hopes that none of the streamers cause major problems where they'll need the extra help taking care of it.]
