[ There are days when you have to grin and bear unpalatable things. Such as when you have to swallow your pride and praise a boardwalk in a town that doesn't even have a beach. Cassian's face is very, very painstakingly professional as he records a video message, which is to be played on the network and local TV. ]

As we all know, the Neighborhood Watch is essential to Attleton's security. It is an organization by Attletonies willing to volunteer their free time and energy for the sake of their community without any compensation. This won't change. However, Mayor Palmer and I have decided that the Neighborhood Watch should be headed by a paid employee who can dedicate themselves full-time to the Watch.

To finance the new position, Mayor Palmer has kindly permitted me to host a fundraiser at the new boardwalk he is having built for our town. With the help of the Neighborhood Watch and our local community, we are planning a fair with a number of charity booths; games as well as food stalls and rides provided by local businesspeople.

Weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting, the fair is scheduled for Saturday, the 26th. All proceeds will, of course, go to the Attleton Neighborhood Watch. If anyone, whether from Attleton or out of town, would like to volunteer for the fundraiser they are welcome to respond to this message or drop by the Guardian's office.

[ And now he needs to bang his head against his desk or something. ]


[OOC: There will be a log for the fair going up on the 26th for all visitors and volunteers.]

[Thea's seen in her office at the Nova City Museum as she speaks. There's also a pretty scary level of grace, she's good at this.]

This is Thea Queen, Events Coordinator for the Nova City Museum. Would there be any interest in a booth to promote our next few shows?

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Thea has a lot better handle on this event managing business than Cassian has, truth be told. He only knows fun as a dictionary entry. ]

Of course, we would love to have you. You have free rein on what you do with your booth, anything from Nova is bound to be eye-catching to Attletonies.

Are you going to let me volunteer?

[ Since he's already threatening to kidnap her if she doesn't take some time for herself.. ]

[ He chuckles a little. ]

Normally I would say no, but under the circumstances I'll be selfish.

Lucky here at the Nova city Planetarium. How does a booth teaching about astronomy sound?

[He's got an excited grin on his face as he asks. This is gonna be great if he gets the okay.]

Re: video

[captain_by_the_book]

Of course! We would love to have you here. Actually, you would be doing me a personal favor by bringing a space exhibit. I'm from a space-faring civilization myself and it would be nice to share that with the locals.

Was that as uncomfortable as it felt?

You looked like a pod person.

Painful. The word you are looking for is painful. Was I that obvious?

[Dray claps his hands and smiles brightly.]

That is such a fantastic idea! And talking about the boardwalk, I designed a few more addiction that I'm sure you and Cecil will absolutely love.

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

Do you?

[ Trepidation. He has all the trepidation. You don't hold quite as much blame as the mastermind behind this insanity, but you have made it possible! ]

Do I want to know more?

A FAIR?

B-Booths, and food, a-and rides...! [Can he see her bouncing? Because she's bouncing.]

Do you need help?

Re: video

[captain_by_the_book]

[ He's trying not to look as amused as he feels - it would be mean. But it's hard to keep a neutral face. ]

Yes, all of these. Well, the rides aren't quite secured yet but I have been almost guaranteed to get some for free.

I can always use more helpers. You could man the Guardian Office's booth, or one of the food stalls. Kay and I were talking about having the pokemon give small presentations of their powers.

[shelteringwings]

You know the drill with me. If you need any extra help, just give me a call.

[He's got rent to worry about so he probably can't do any donations, but helping out is the least he can do.]

Re: video;

[captain_by_the_book]

Thank you, Mobius, and believe me, I'm going to call in that favor. I figure we need more people for the booths for... well, everything. You will have your free pick. It would be good to have another pair of eyes in case someone decides to use such a large gathering to cause trouble.

---is....oh there we go.

[Looks like someone finally got the hang of the video feed. She's on a break from her chef job in Fayren at the moment.]

Um...hello, I'd like to offer an archery demonstration?

Re: video

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Oh! The lady who had dropped by on the day of the office party! ]

That would be wonderful. Since we don't actually have a beach there will be plenty of green for you to have your archery range. Just tell us what you need a day or two before, I don't think anyone here is familiar with archery.

[fairysoul]

A fair? That sounds like fun!

[She's already funding plenty in Fayren but this sounds like fun.]

Would you be interested in a Fairy Tail booth?

[She's not sure how many mages live in Attleton, but all events need a little bit of magic, right?]

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ He sure hopes it will be fun, the bad luck streak from Holly Heights and last year's carnival can't last forever. ]

Very much, thank you, Mavis. We don't have enough mages in Attleton for it to become commonplace and whenever there is some magic to be seen, it draws a crowd. The children loved Captain Schnee's summons, do you think you could show off for them a little?

[You can't see him.

But you don't have to.

The giant, beaming grin should be obvious in these words]

Oh I'm so excited! I just can't wait!

Re: voice

[captain_by_the_book]

[ y a y. ]

I know. I'm glad you are.

[Because that makes one of them.]

There have been many offers for help. I think this might become a success.

[He still can't believe he is contributing to the boardwalk madness. ]

[hot_handed]

Hey, Oily Hair.

I can blow shit up. [You know like. Fire shows and shit.]

Re: [Video]

[captain_by_the_book]

[That earns him a highly sceptical look.]

Are you here to offer help or threats?

[ivegotadream]

This sounds like so much fun!

[Rapunzel seems excited as the feed doesn't show just how excited she is since they don't show her hands currently.]

Can I help in anyway?

Re: video;

[captain_by_the_book]

Of course, thank you, Rapunzel. You can pretty much choose a task at this point, we still need people for everything. But if you're looking for anything in particular, the bake sale maybe? Or, do you do quick drawings as well? Sketches? These could be popular.

[gamerrep]

Do you have ideas on what games you are going to have?

[Because it's important.]

Re: video;

[captain_by_the_book]

Fair games? The ones you'd have at booths.

[ He... hasn't been too many fun fairs in his life. ]
