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!

"Uh..." Shit, he was staring at her for too long. Riku immediately embarrassed and taken aback. He hadn't expected the rabbit to notice him watching her.

Watching a gun-totting, talking bunny. A really adorable gun-totting, talking bunny, but it's not like he's going to say that out loud now that she's striking him up for a conversation.

Riku rubs the back of his neck out of nervousness, an awkward smile on his face. "Sorry, I just... you're really good with that gun."

Judy had a feeling that there was another reason for his staring, since so many humans had been doing it as of late, but she wasn't going to call him out on it. He was being polite, at least.

Instead she just smiles, holding the gun up.

"I was a police officer back home. I had to get really good with a dart gun," she mused, waving the gun a bit. "This is a pretty similar concept!"

[darkbreak]

He's trying, and he does have a polite bone in his body when he needs to.

Riku smiles awkwardly, suddenly very curious about where this rabbit comes from. Talking, cop bunnies... must be a pretty magical world. How he wouldn't mind learning more about it.

"I'll say. It can't be easy for you." He hopes that's not rude. It's just that the gun isn't exactly bunny-sized and looks unwieldy in her paws. She's gotta be pretty strong.

Judy can't help but laugh a bit.

"It's definitely heavier than what I'm use to but it's a lot like the guns the other officers use and I've picked some of those up before." Mostly the ones Nick and the wolves use but, still. Human-ish sized.

Ask her to pick up something that some of the larger cops use? Not going to happen.

"I'm Judy, by the way."

[darkbreak]

Well don't worry, Judy. You might not be able to pick up bigger weapons here too, but you can make friends who can. He nods at her assuring explanation.

"Riku. It's... it's nice to meet you." Should he shake her hand-- er, paw? He's not really sure how to go about this, and even if he does shake her paw, he could hurt her easily.

"You're new here, right? Do you need some help getting around?"
