The Newcomer Business Convention

[excellentviolet]

Who: EVERYONE EVER. OOC coordination post is over here
When: April 20-23, all day.
Where: Somewhere around the Newcomer Community Center.
Summary: Violet Systems gives Newcomer Businesses a chance to shine at a convention of their own. Exhibitors from all industries, as well as fellow newcomers looking for job opportunities are welcome! Also-- there will be a big MAN protest on Saturday.
Warnings: Nothing yet.

Visitors who stop by the great white tent that had gone up near the Newcomer Community Center will first notice a large LED sign before the entrance with a detailed list of participating exhibitors as well as activities for the day. Inside the tent, booths are arranged in rows, where everything from food businesses to the most sophisticated enterprises were on display for everyone to explore.

Get ready to come home with lots of sample products and brochures, guys.

"Thank you!" Danny beamed at Tim. "Well back home I'm an actor and a singer. But I guess this and that aren't so different, right?"

"Not too much," Tim laughed. "It's a lot like acting, actually. Showing everyone just how much fun it is to work here, stuff like that. Even if the job is a little boring, right?"

Danny chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "I guess so. But I really don't think it's boring. It's fun to talk to new people and help them buy things. At least I think so."

"That's why you're the man... cat... man behind the booth," Tim grinned. "Anyone interested in the zoomers, yet? Just because I have an interest in what people are saying about them."

"Thank you!" Danny laughed at the correction and quickly took out his notebook.

"Some people sure have. They wanted to know how it ran and how fast it went. A few men asked to sit on it but I had to tell them no. It's definitely catching people's eye."

"That's pretty good! I'm not going to be giving up the secret of how it runs, though," Except it wasn't a secret, he was just kidding around. "I wish I knew how to get it to go higher, though. So far we've only gotten it around 6 feet off the ground, at it's highest."

The feline gave a nod and looked back at the ride with a dopey smile. "I really don't know the first thing about stuff like this. I mean, I'm learning thanks to the show room but science was not really my best subject in school."
