LET'S GO SURFIN' NOW

WHO: YOU
WHERE: Heropa, Florida.
WHEN: Saturday June 13th, all day.
WHAT: A registration beach party with a bonus murder mystery game!
WARNINGS: None anticipated; please let us know if this should be edited.



PARTYING IT UP

As the imPorts flood into the entrance of this month's Swear-In, every imPort will pass by a large table with a welcome sign hung over top of it. Spread out on display are a huge pile of brochures, something that all new imPorts are heavily encouraged to read by the smiling woman manning the booth. From this point onwards, these brochures will be supplied both at Cape Carneval upon arrival, and available at every Swear-In, ready for imPort consumption.

Slap on plenty of sunscreen and put on your swimsuits, imPorts, because it's time for a good old fashioned beach party! While there are several food stations set up, they're all restricted to working with the grill, which means that there are plenty of hot dogs, hamburgers, kebabs, grilled corn and more to go around. It's messy eating, but if you need to clean yourself off, why not go for a little swim? The water's clean and clear, ready for anyone who wishes to while their time away splashing around.

Of course, there are always more competitive people afoot, and many may notice a handy buoy some ways from the shore as an excellent point to use for racing. For imPorts who are interested in a more organized affair, there are several courts set up for a spirited game of beach volleyball, battling against the city's own native population. ImPorts are asked to play fairly -- no powers allowed! Of course, some imPorts may try to sneak in a power or two, but wouldn't be much fun to cheat against people who have no way of retaliating, now would it? For those who enjoy their feats of daring, pits of red-hot coals are set up - and carefully supervised - for anyone who wishes to try their hand at it, though a medical tent isn't too far off. Once everyone's properly overheated from all that exercise, swimming races will be held, a faraway buoy serving as the finish line.

Not too interested in joining in on all of those people sweating and running around? Not to worry! Huge, white tents dot the generous expanse of beach, fully equipped with lounge chairs and tables for people to take their food to. Along the beach itself are several colourful, fluffy beach towels, just waiting for anyone hoping to get a nice tan out of the day.

Once the games start to wrap up and the sun begins to fall, the beach will be transformed into a place not for competition, but for camaraderie. Firepits will be set up, framed with logs used for seating, and all the ingredients for s'mores will be freely provided! Sit around the fire for a spell, make some s'mores, play a little music and tell a few stories before the day slowly draws to a close.

A BEACHSIDE MURDER MYSTERY

As 5 PM strikes, all participants in the murder games will be ushered away from the festivities on the beach into a somber looking tent, cordoned off from everyone else. Inside is a lavish enough spread to make one forget that they're still technically on the same grounds as a beach party. The long, intimidating looking table has a pristine white tablecloth draped over it, and each place at the table is set with expensive looking plates and cutlery, with the silver candelabras in the middle of the table setting the mood.

Each imPort will have been given their role in the whole affair before their arrival, so all that's left to do is take a seat, nibble on the hors d'oeuvres and start getting to know each other... and to hope that they're not the first ones killed. The prizes for winning include an all-expense-paid condo in the winner's Porter city of choice, as well as a brand new hovercar; should both killers win, they will be expected to share this prize. Should the voters win, more cars and up to three more condos will be added to the prize pool to be dispersed/shared evenly among the winners.

B!

[So that's weird, because — no offense — this young lady definitely doesn't look like a Disney princess, so what business does she have charming woodland creatures to do adorable things like prepare marshmallows for roasting?

Jimmy lingers nearby, watching, until she finally speaks.

He takes that as his opportunity to, of course, jump in and be nosy.]


I could do without all the humidity and gators, myself.

[She sees you looking at those raccoons, guy. Not that she can blame you. They are way cooler than any human running around here. One of them notices the looking too and, having learned far better manners from April's better half, offers a half-eaten s'more up to the man.]

And the sun. And people. And smell. You're the new Electro knock-off, aren't you.
mcgill: 1x07 (striking a deal)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-06-17 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jimmy glances down at the raccoon offering him the s'more and gently declines with a half-smile and a wave of his hand. That's sweet, but it also seems hella unsanitary.

Is chocolate bad for raccoons the same way it's bad for dogs?]


That'd be me. [He doesn't look too pleased about the title, but there's truth to it, so it's not like he can argue.] I'm a time-traveler too, apparently.
aggressiveapathy: (stranger danger)

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-06-17 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[The little guy doesn't quite seem to believe he's being refused- but after a moment finally shuffles off to finish eating. But April doesn't really notice. She's not too sure how she feels about a new shocker running around...

But it's not like the porter cares.]


Don't tell me you're secretly another musketeer.
mcgill: 1x06 (legal representation at its finest)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-06-21 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that I know of.

[Which is kind of a weird response, he knows, but considering the situation...

Jimmy stares after the raccoon, then directs his gaze back at April.]


Just another lawyer-turned-judge.
aggressiveapathy: (pic#5041483)

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-06-24 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Eat the marshmallows, then. I totally need do cover some pre-bribes.

[She may not be a lawyer, but she certainly works in and among them. And she can only imagine the pay raises that come with having judges owe her.]

Unless you're another Judy clone.
mcgill: 1x02 (:D?)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-06-27 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
What kinda judge would I be if I took bribes?

[THE SAME KIND OF LAWYER YOU ALREADY ARE, JIMMY.

He grins suddenly, lopsided.]


And what about you, huh? You have plans to get into trouble?
aggressiveapathy: (shy smile)

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-06-28 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
A true American capitalist one.

[Let's not pretend here. And he's getting offered s'mores from all sides now.]

And I don't get into trouble. Laws have changed to accommodate that fact.
mcgill: 1x03 (negotiations)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-07-01 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, okay. He'll take one. He assumes April wouldn't be hanging around rabid raccoons, so it's... probably safe, right?

Very slowly and very gently, he plucks a s'more from a little black paw.]


I bet you could still get into trouble if you really wanted to.

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-07-02 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
If you're looking for more bribes, I do need to know your going rate.

[Once the tiny bit of fur is brushed off, it's a very well made little treat. Browned marshmallow instead of a burned one that's been put out. For April's part, she keeps to strict dead pan even while joking (?) about bribing a judge to get out of future sentencing.]

[Jimmy had no idea raccoons could cook, but he guesses sentient raccoons are another story.

Oh, this place.

He takes a bite and chews slowly, making a show of thinking over his response.]


Mm, I dunno... might be more than you can afford.
aggressiveapathy: (pic#5041457)

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-07-04 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I think you'll find I'm a woman of inventive means.

[She doesn't go into the russian accent, but it's a near thing.]
mcgill: 1x02 (listening face)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-07-04 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[It's kind of impossible to look dramatic while holding a half-eaten s'more, but bless his heart, Jimmy tries. He leans forward, snack in hand, and tilts his head.]

I'm listening.
aggressiveapathy: (pic#5041471)

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-07-04 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
There no fun if I just tell you. Just...don't turn away any mysterious packages that show up.

[Or do. Chances are she will forget about this and those packages are from actual dangerous people. But there's a chance of follow through!!1]
mcgill: 1x07 (snerk snark)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-07-04 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that sure doesn't sound sketchy.

[He hums thoughtfully, taking another bite.]

Maybe I oughta get my own PO box. You know, just for bribes. Wouldn't want my roommates askin' questions.

[Especially since Jimmy spends most of his time at home doggy-paddling in the sea of goodness and morality that makes up that house.

And he's not a very good swimmer, so.]

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-07-09 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Did they stick you with toddlers? Or worse. Public servants.

[Being one of them didn't make them not the worst. It just made her appreciate all the more how terrible they were.]

But you could just pick things up at the DA's office.
mcgill: 1x03 (welp.)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-07-10 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
I've got a child soldier, a mom-figure, and a patriotic superhero.

[So there's.

That.]


Anyway, I could, but that seems like tempting fate.
aggressiveapathy: (pic#5041463)

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-07-10 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn. I'd watch that show.

[Judging America. Or America On Trial. Something. It would be a good follow up to Jeff's show, anyway.]
mcgill: 1x06 (legal representation at its finest)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-07-12 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Or you could just come over.

[God knows plenty of other people do, which is why that doesn't exactly sound like an honest invitation.]
aggressiveapathy: (pic#5041477)

[personal profile] aggressiveapathy 2015-07-14 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
You'll have to make dinner.

[Honesty, shmonesty. April has a deep conviction to never refuse free things.]
mcgill: 1x03 (negotiations)

[personal profile] mcgill 2015-07-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Which one of us? There's a lotta cooks in oh-sixteen.

[He could, or Cass could, or Armin could, or Steve —

Actually, he's never seen Steve cook.

But he probably can.

...right?]
