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!

"That sounds - " Tifa searched for the right word and finally gave up with a vague hand motion. "Amazing. I can't imagine shifting between forms like that. How are you holding up? Being here?"

"Well it was a bit of an adjustment. There is such a lot of abundance of greys and blacks," said Sunset. "It's colors that aren't found as often in both of my homelands."

"But the tech here is marvelous. With the right parts I could build so many machines for science projects."

Tifa hadn't thought of the world's tones here as dark but she supposed someone with hair that color - and people of all colors - would consider Edge a bit drab. She smiled.

"If you get the chance, you should visit Wutai. It's much more colorful there. You like working with machines?"

It was a bit drab, true, but Sunset was also looking forward to finding color elsewhere.

"Wutai, got it. And yes, I do. I've built several machines to analyze the effects of Equestrian Magic a while ago, and I made my motorcycle from spare parts I restored from the junkyard."

That - was pretty impressive. Tifa made a soft noise to show she thought so. Then she asked:

"Have you got a job yet?"

[personal profile] shimmer_on 2016-06-27 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not yet," said Sunset, shaking her head. "I wanted to get some place in a mechanic shop or whatever, but I haven't figured out what I wanted to do yet other than a mechanics or magic research job."

Tifa hummed to show she was listening and then gave a short nod.

"You could try Highwind. It's an airship service but I'm sure they're always working on new things as well. The owner is a little - rough around the edges but Shera is the most put together, no-nosense woman you'll ever met. WRO might have something as well. I know they're always looking to develop new technology. Reeve - well, you have to meet Cait Sith one of these days." She gave a smile so it was obvious she wasn't talking about right at that minute and they were suggestions only. "I'm sure wherever you end up, it'll be good. And no matter what, I hope you stop by my bar anytime you like." Sunset had paid for her drink and ice cream today and Tifa knew that WRO gave the streamers an allowance but still - "First meal is on the house."

"I see. There's a lot of options then, not just working at some random shop too," said Sunset, relieved that Tifa knew of a few people that could potentially help out after all.

She made a mental note of the three places, WRO, Reeve and Highwind and committed it to memory before adding, "Really? That's very nice, thank you. I'll promise I'll swing by every chance I get."
