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!

And suddenly there was bread underfoot.

"Hey!" Reno protested, glaring at the guy who'd just thrown a bun at him. And then stared. Because suddenly there was a weird dog... man... thing, sucking down a hotdog and wagging away like he'd just stolen the supper roast.

Keaton swallowed the entire hot dog down in one bite before he turned to the guy who had called out at him. "Hm?" His tail wagged a bit. He moved over to him, grinning big and wide. "Hey!"

Clueless.

[shinra_dog]

What. On Gaia. Was he looking at?

Clearly, this guy was a Streamer. There was no other explanation, besides Hojo having another secret son running around, and besides the one incident with Red XIII and Aerith, Reno didn't know about any dog-boys. Somewhere, some other universe had beast people. Or the Lifestream just coughed up random body parts together. That was a gross thought.

"What's yer problem, man?" Reno asked when he'd finally found his voice again. "Throwin' food on the ground like that? What the hell?"

If the dog wanted to be wasteful, fine, whatever -- that was none of Reno's business. But don't make more of a mess to clean-up.

"If you knew anything about hunting, you'd know exactly what I was doing!"

He huffs, crossing his arms over his chest. His ear twitching as he tried to exude strength and power like he was the chief of the Wolfskins.

Which he was, thank you.

"Hmph!" He turned and moved to walk away again.

[shinra_dog]

"Hunting?" Reno was even more incredulous now. "Yer just throwin' yer bread on the ground!"

And -- was this jerk trying to walk away from him right now? In the middle of a very irritated conversation?

"Hey, where do you think yer goin'?" Reno snapped, reaching out for Keaton's elbow.
