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!

"He would be eaten alive." And it would be no fault of his own. He would be paying for the sins of the Sephiroth that had lived here. Rude felt a little bad for the hypothetical normal Sephiroth. Not that there was any point to voice it as it hadn't happened yet, and possibly wouldn't.

Reno's face screwed up into a twisted cringe as he thought about it. Never in a million years did he think he'd ever feel bad for Sephiroth, of all people. And yet, that's what was happening.

"Ugh, I'm actually feeling bad for this fake Sephiroth now," he admitted, his nose wrinkled. "Sephiroth. Gods, that's fuckin' weird. New topic, man."

It almost made him lose his appetite. Almost.

Rude gave a hearty chuckle. "I didn't think you were that soft." His tone as he spoke, however, showed that he too felt the same.

"Did you hear that there was a bunny trying to apply to be a Turk earlier?" he asked.

"Shut up." Soft. Tch. Whatever.

Hearing about the bunny caught Reno by surprise. "Okay, I thought I heard somethin' like that, but I sure as hell didn't believe it. You tellin' me it's true?"

He didn't think Rude would lie to him, exactly. Tease him, sure. But this was such a weird story, Reno didn't think Rude would actually make it up.

"It's true, her name is Judy. Tseng turned her down." Speaking of, Tseng will probably chew him out later for using the potential to become a Turk eventually in convincing her to apply as a security officer. But it'll be worth it.

"Okay, but I heard she was an actual rabbit. Like, for real, a talking rabbit." Reno stared hard at Rude. "Not, like, a bunny girl or a stripper or, y'know, whatever -- like, a real fuckin' rabbit."

That part couldn't be true, right?

Rude nodded. "She stands on two legs, dresses and talks like a human, but she was definitely an actual rabbit. She was about the size of a small child."

Reno whistled again. "Holy shit." Rude was serious, right? Right?

Damn.

"There's no way she could be a Turk. No." Reno shook his head decisively, dead-set against it. A rabbit? No. "She'd get fuckin' trampled!"
