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!

It just outlined the differences between Azeroth and this world, clearly. Oh, there were those who shook hands, but Liadrin had always felt that somewhat informal. So bowing it was.

"Well. To be honest, certain dragons at home are...shall we say, choosy about who rides them, as well. They are not easily trained." The elf sighed. "Clearly, I will prefer a chocobo, should I ever need to travel more in the future."

And if she wasn't told to take a mechanical vehicle. Truth be told, they made her a little queasy. The motion wasn't natural...

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Cloud. I do apologize for waylaying you." Even if she had done so for helpful reasons. "I hope I haven't delayed you."

He shook his head silently at the question, then after a moment, amended; "I... was just walking around." He cast a glance up at the nearest of the fair rides and let out a huff, then turned back to Liadrin.

"Chocobos are still really good," he said, chewing his lip in thought, "and at least the ferry between Junon and Costa del Sol could accommodate one." So if she wanted to travel and do it cross-continent, it wouldn't really be that much of an issue.

Though, of course, some chocobos were perfectly suited to take their rider across the ocean by themselves, but those weren't exactly cheap.
