Summer Solstice

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!

"School rivalries? I understand that. My school recently had a competition with Crystal Prep. It was basically a draw," said Sunset as she took a moment to watch Akira at the basketball game.

She looked over at the prizes. There was a lot of them.

"Draws didn't usually happen with us- my old school, at least." Akira has time to say before focusing on the hoop.

Ok, she's got this. She very much has got this, just line up, shoot-

And put so much pressure on the shot, that the resulting throw puts a dent in the backboard before dropping like a weight through the hoop. Cue perplexed blinking.

"Is- is that a good thing?"

"Ouch, that sucks."

At the throw, Sunset winced. "Um, kind of?" Sunset mimed throwing. "You want to make it arc upwards instead of throwing directly at it like a baseball would be."
