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!

[Rude likes what she's saying. He nods every so often as she talks and only speaks up when she's done.]

Training doesn't matter. You have to earn trust before it will matter. If you prove yourself, there's a chance of promotion.

[He doesn't mention that it's a small chance.]

If you want to go somewhere else, go. You'll never be a Turk if you do.

[Rude hands her the business card.]

Contact the number on the back if you decide you want to be a security officer.

[Judy frowns a bit but...she knows he's right. It's the same situation she'd been in back home, in a way. No one had expected her to be able to do the job she'd been given and she had to work her tail off to prove it.

Back to square one, it seems.

She takes the card with a slight nod, looking it over.]

..Thank you. [Looking up at Rude, her ears lift and she gives him a determined look.] I will.

[actuallypolite]

[Rude smiles, glad to see the look of determination on her face.]

Glad to hear. It was nice meeting you... Apologies, I forgot to ask your name.

[carrotcop]

Judy. Judy Hopps, sir!

[She beams and offers a paw to him.]

At your service!

[actuallypolite]

[Rude takes her paw in hand and gives it a light shake. He wants to shake her paw, not all of her. Her paw is so tiny compared to his big hands.]

Judy Hopps. I'll remember that.

[He smiles.]

I'm Rude.

[But she might have gathered that from his business card he handed her.]
