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!

Vincent saw Cloud leaving the Gazebo area. He had a feeling that Cloud wouldn't be patient and would go and speak with Rufus directly. Not that he wouldn't speak with the president directly.

He waits some minutes before approaching, silent. Vincent wasn't as non threatening as Cloud was. His gun was very obviously strapped to his leg and he wasn't sorry for it either. Vincent held trust for no one outside of AVALANCHE and that had been hard won.

"President Shinra."

Though, that was still a thing.

"I'm sure Cloud has filled you in on our intentions."

"Is all of AVALANCHE going to invade my supposedly private space now?" Rufus was not in a good mood after talking to Cloud, needless to say. His couerls press closer when they sense that and eye Vincent warily. "Yes, he has."

"I'm not AVALANCHE."

His tone was almost annoyed. He never considered himself to be part of that rather.. rag tag group of misfits. Never mind that he was the most ill fitted to any group, social, political or otherwise.

"The WRO may view me as a potential threat to their progress. I would like to get a closer look. How much clearance do you have within the WRO?"

Rufus snorted. Keep telling yourself that, Valentine.

"My clearance is none of your business and extends to personal employees only, I'm afraid."

Vincent's hand slips into his cloak and out snaps three pages. He sets it on the table in front of Rufus.

"Its been some years. But I still understand the concept of a resume."

He clearly had been expecting that type response from Rufus.

Rufus, eyebrow raised, glanced down at the papers. He had no interest in hiring Valentine, of course.

"Sorry, but the Turks aren't hiring."

"I technically never resigned in the first place. My email still works."

And still had a lot of messages. That he still didn't know how to actually access.

"I'd like to take a look at the Lifestream myself. I'm sure you can understand how much I'd like to do that since I just threw a resume on the table for a company that resulted in me dying."

"We are no longer my father's company, Valentine. And your email no doubt is defunct, since those servers quite literally exploded." Just how technology-dumb was he? "You have friends in the WRO, why not ask them to hire you?"

Well. Its not like he'd actually tried it. He lacked the access.

"Regardless of who is heading the company..." His eyes became a bit stormier, glancing away from Rufus.

"I have friends that would frown on my method of execution. And the WRO hired ShinRa scientists. I have little interest in scientists."

"And no doubt Reeve is aware of that." He slid the papers back to Vincent. "Ask him to get you to Mideel.

There might have been an eye twitch. But... He should attempt contacting Reeve. If he could observe or at least et information. its all he needed.

"Keep it. I have no discord with the Turks."

He turns away, his cloak swinging around him as he steps out of the Gazebo.
