she blinded me with science!
WHO: OPEN
WHERE: The Heropa Convention Center (that I just made up now)
WHEN: 4/23 and 4/24
WHAT: The Heropa Science and Technology Expo! A two day expo full of networking, demonstrations, presentations and talks celebrating all thing science and technology!
that is, until the second day, when everything goes to hell.
WARNINGS: Violence, possible attempted murder--will edit if needed!
April 23
The expo is off to a good start. The convention center's main hall is littered with tables and people. The tables represent everything from individual work, to start-up firms, to massive chemical conglomerates. Next door, a few ballrooms have been quickly converted to hold talks and demonstrations. The main stage areas are lined with plastic (to help prevent any sort of spills on the hardwood floors) and folding chairs are set in rows.
The main hall itself is jam-packed, with people wandering between tables and talks freely. Those presenting or manning a table have nametags--those visiting are laden down with maps and brochures. There's also some damn good punch and sandwiches if the free food at these sort of things is more your take.
All in all, everything seems to be going well!
April 24
Did we say everything was going well? Because now it's not.
During one particular talk, something horrible happens. What was supposed to be a routine demonstration of a chemical effect goes terribly wrong, with the chemicals exploding. The people in the first few rows are splattered with the chemicals, crying out in pain as it burns their skin. However, with any imPorts in the first few rows, something goes horribly wrong. Whether it happens instantly or some time later, their powers start to go out of control, unknowingly wrecking havoc on the convention center itself.
It's time to be a hero, you guys. Help take care of the people and bring your fellow out of control imports down!

"Sorry, my bad!" Peter exclaims, looking up. "Didn't step on any toes, did I?"
Re: April 23
This time Mike doesn't need to 'help'. Rochelle jerks back about the same time Peter does.
"Whoah! Watch where you're going, young'n." As if there'd be much of an age difference between them. She glances down at the camera he'd been fiddling with. A pause passes, and she nods at it. "ESPECIALLY with a camera like that. But I'm good. You okay?"
no subject
"Me? I'm all in one piece, no thanks to – well, me. Sorry again."
Now that they're no longer in imminent danger of collision, he gets a proper look at her, and his eyes light on her press pass. "Oh, so you're legitimate news," he says, with wry emphasis on the adjective. "Are you a local, or did you luck out in the job assignments?"
no subject
Don't worry about it." Now that she wasn't going to get steamrolled over, Rochelle relaxes. Tilting her head at the question, then suddenly grins and taps her pass. Oh, she notices his the wry way he said that.
"Lucked out in the job assignments. I am - was a TV news producer back home."
no subject
"Back home, I did freelance news photography. Here, for my sins," he winces even as he says it, "'paparazzo.' Lucky for me there aren't many real celebrities around to razz, so I've been doing business as usual. None of our handlers have noticed yet. You won't tell, will you?" He's joking, honest.
no subject
"Ouch." Rochelle visibly winces for him with genuine sympathy. At the question, though, she smiles again. "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me."
She turns her head to the taller, older reporter next to her.
"You go on ahead, Mike. I'll catch up."
Mike eyes her briefly. "I thought you wanted to watch and re-learn."
"I still do. I'm not gonna be here all day - you go do your job."
Mike pauses. Then finally, with a grunt, he walks off. Rochelle smirks and turns her head back to Peter.
"He's a good guy, really."
sorry this is short
no big! this one's gonna be short too
