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!

Even mixing the juice with the ice would be wonderful, if that's possible? Just enough to flavor the ice. Indeed, not too sweet!

[She had missed out on much of the Northrend campaign, but from what Liadrin had heard, it hadn't been much to miss. Ice was more than pleasant on a summer's day, but months upon months in the stuff, with little respite--save for the cradle of life that was Sholazar Basin--did not appeal to the paladin. She'd take heat over cold any day.]

Liadrin. A pleasure. Do you do this often? [Curious, there.] You must be a good listener. Or do you get tired of it? I am not certain I would, but...I admit I am more the doing type.

[She can't help but chuckle a little, at that.]

[Tifa gave a smile and a nod at the suggestion of juice on the ice and started to scoop out a cone while she listened to the rest. Liadrin. She could remember that. She didn't mind the questions, used to keeping up a certain level of conversation while she worked.]

Nice to meet you too, Liadrin. And - a little. I own a bar so if I don't usually run an outdoor stand, I am used to serving up food and drinks. Seventh Heaven. If you ever feel like stopping by. [Her eyebrows lifted a little but she smiled at the other woman as she started measuring out the juice to give the ice just a hint of flavor.] I do like to listen. People have interesting stories to tell and you never know when they'll help or need help. I don't get tired of it. Not really.

[Handing over the ice, her lips hooked a little on one side and a bit of laughter touched her eyes.] I might do a little bit of doing too myself, though that's mostly in the past. How are you doing, settling in here?

Seventh Heaven. I shall remember that. It sounds a more pleasant place than seven hells, of a certainty. That is a curse, where I am from, so... [The elf lifts her hands a bit, gently. This only allows her to take the ice with ease, and a smile of gratitude, before her expression shifts with Tifa's question, going a shade sour.]

I am...bored, I suppose. As I have said, I am more used to doing, and...I have little to do, here. Though I have endeavored to help a...gorilla start working out.

[The phrase is just so out there that Liadrin can't help but start to chuckle at the ridiculousness of it all.]

Perhaps you have seen him. Light knows he is certainly as unmistakable in his way as I am!

[She takes a sip from the ice, to moisten her mouth.] What do I owe you for this, by the way?
