True enough, Zack hadn't been joking about going out. For him it's been a pretty long time so why not go all out? The people that had seemed interested all got a message explaining where they we going to be. Someone that Zack thought could use a little social get together got a message regardless if they answered his call out. He isn't sure who all is going to show, but who cares?

All that matters is that he is here at some bar that Cloud has picked out. Friends will be here too, hopefully. They can cut loose a little and have a good time out tonight. If they manage to have a little too much fun... Well then it makes for some good memories and new stories to be retold. Who knows, maybe someone it won't even be remembered in the morning.

(( ooc: but no seriously. do what you want. it's kind of an open mingle sort of thing for anyone and everyone. make your own threads or join in others. sky's the limit for real. ))

It was hot. Reno didn't usually mind the heat too much, and it sure as hell beat the cold, but this was hot. Even he'd finally lost AC in his apartment. Reno never thought he'd actually stall to stay at work longer.

He needed a diversion. And as he scrolled idly through his phone, Laguna's number popped up. Now there was an idea... Reno did promise the Streamer a date. Why not? He hit Dial.

Cloud was fairly certain that if it got any hotter, the entire city was just going to start to melt. The lack of power to keep things cool was making Edge a miserable place to be but it was home and while the beach had been a nice break, he couldn't stay away forever. He had work to do.

Work that included making sure his bike--and the one he was preparing for his younger self on the sly--were in tip top condition.

Most of his usual gear abandoned on his work bench thanks to the heat, the blonde was elbow deep in the engine of the bike he was repairing for his younger self, the engine propped up on a few old crates as he attempted to replace the cylinder heads. The thing still fired up, he'd tried it before doing anything, but it didn't sound like it should and the last thing Cloud wanted was for it to break down while anyone was riding it. He frowned softly at the engine block, sweating beading down his face thanks to the heat and he paused to wipe it away with his shoulder. (No easy task when your hands were preoccupied with holding together parts of an engine.)

Finally getting the cylinder head into place, he slipped the bolts back where they needed to go before easing his arms out of the small space. The combination of sweat and grease from the motor was not the most pleasant feeling but this was only a small part of what he needed to do to get his old bike road ready.

Next up, he needed to make sure the timing was right.

The day was finally starting to wind down, though the smell of fair food and the distant sound of the rides that were still going could occasionally be heard in the cooling air as dusk started to settle over the city. Tifa had taken down the snack stand and counted up the money for the day. Leaving the bar closed was an option, they'd had a busy day already, but she thought with a fair in town, it might be nice to open up. See if any other faces or friends drifted through. Chances were it would be a fairly quiet night anyway. A day at the fair would wear out a lot of people and send them home to their houses early.

So the sign outside the door got flipped to indicate the bar was open and the front lights of it got switched on. Chairs unstacked from tables and glasses got set out. Soon enough people started to trickle in and there was a quiet murmur of noise as regulars and new arrivals found spots to relax at the end of the day and nurse a drink or get a light meal. In the process of filling up a glass, Tifa turned with an automatic smile for the newest arrival as the door opened and, before she even saw who it was, called out a cheerful:

"Welcome to Seventh Heaven."

((ooc: hey gang, I thought I'd throw up a 'wind down' kind of post. Come on in and get something to drink or talk or (work) or whatever strikes your fancy. Tifa's available if anyone wants interaction but I don't mind if anyone wants to run private threads here too. ps. Adult-Cloud - you probably don't want to see what's waiting for you upstairs on your bed.))

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!
