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!

Well at least ruins weren't a new thing for Terra. She'd seen ruins of many places that had been homes to people she knew. It was horrifying, but... Catastrophic events often led to sorrowful places.

This story sounded similar, though it hadn't been a meteor that hit her world. It had been a continent, and there was no magic to repel it. It was magic that had caused it though. Perhaps their worlds weren't that different.

"You definitely have a really... strong outlook. This would be too much for me to handle." Perhaps she was handling things better than she would have expected of herself but.. to die then to return to so much in ruin..? Aerith was strong.

"What are you going to do now..?"

"You're already handling a new world. That's a lot all by itself," Aerith told Terra. Their situations might be too different to compare easily, but she thought the other girl's attitude was admirable too.

"Hm...I'm going to try to find my friends if they're around here, then visit my mother. After that, I'll see what happens." With three years gone and being as much in the dark as everyone else, she doesn't really have any plans unless the Planet suddenly calls her to do something.

She nods, understanding that need. It would be good for her to find support with her friends. Aerith could pick her life back up and hopefully have better results. Find love, a new purpose, happiness. The woman seems like she deserves all the happiness in the world.

"I'm probably keeping you from seeing them. I hope you find them soon."

Terra smiles warmly, hand resting against her chest. "I'm certain they'll be glad to see you."

"I know I'll be glad to see them. I suppose we are supposed to be switching partners soon...it's as good a time as any for me to duck out. Listen, I hope things work out for you here. And, maybe we'll see each other again." Especially if she figures out what exactly the Lifestream is doing, bringing people from other worlds here... if she can help them get back, she'd make sure to get the word out to all of them.

Summer Solstice

OH MY GOD AERITH.
