FANPORT JUNE 2017

WHO: ImPorts!
WHERE:Nonah Convention Center
WHEN: June 23-25, from 9 AM - 12 AM every day.
WHAT: Registration is in motion alongside FanPort, the most popular imPort convention around! Come on in and see imPort-led panels, the artist's alley, cosplayers, and more! If you have any questions, or wish to amend the way we have written up your characters' panels, let us know here!
WARNINGS: None anticipated; please let us know if this should be changed.

Locals, imPorts, come one and all to FanPort, the annual gathering of imPorts and imPort enthusiasts! Registration volunteers are wrangling the long, long lines wrapping outside the convention center, but attendees are passing the time by competing in a contest sponsored by a local radion station: to create the best imPort-themed viral video clip and post it to social media! #PowersPower #Fandemonium #FanPortVIP

Unless they choose to mingle, as guests of honor, imPorts get to skip the line, receive a gold-trimmed IMPORTANT badge and be escorted through a secure entrance into the convention center proper. But there's no escaping the crowds once they're inside, you will be rubbing shoulders. This year's FanPort is seeing record attendance, and the venue is swarming with enthusiastic con-goers. Once they make their way past an impromptu welcoming committee of squealing fans, imPorts can explore...

ARTIST'S ALLEY

The bustling ballroom is full to brimming of fans selling their creative wares. Hundreds of prints are available for purchase, featuring everything from Magnus Burnsides striking a heroic pose to an artful portrait of Dandy Mott in his study, with his tie unknotted and dribbling down his front. There's even an action crossover depicting the Blue Beetle versus Iron Man, or Jesse Pinkman dancing with Reggie Mantle. Crossover time!

Other tables feature 3-D creations, with maskets full of keychains, buttons, T-shirts, homemade plushies and more. If you can dream of it, it probably exists, and it would be a challenge to name an imPort without some kind of creative representation!

Some artists and fanfiction writers have teamed up to create doujinshi about various imPort couples. imPorts who are known to be seeing each other are likely to see a drawn version of their relationship in this section, but there are also true rarepairs that go against canon, like Lapis Lazuli/Shale, Frederick Chilton/Sam Merlotte, Kitty Jones/John Murphy, Danny Pink/Mitchell Hundred, Jessica Jones/Laurie Collins, Han Solo/Luke Skywalker, Count Dooku/Archie and Rusty Venture/Sadie Doyle. And some of these books are sultry! Outright SHOCKING. You really must buy a few, if only as gifts.

If you don't see what you want being sold already, there are plenty of commissioners who would leap at the chance to provide an imPort with a custom print or doll, just for them! Although some of the dolls getting in the way of the big, popular ships may just be used as voodoo dolls, so watch out!

COSPLAY CONTEST

What's a fan convention without cosplay? There's not a single room in the convention center that lacks multiple cosplayers, but many of them are in it to win it at the cosplay contest. Some have gone to store after store to buy just the right street clothes to accurately portray imPorts like Daryl Dixon and April Ludgate, but others are up for a challenge and are showing off incredible armor creation or sewing work with their Riptide, Maeve Millay, Jean Grey, Petyr Baelish, Doreen Green, and Kanaya Maryam costumes.

And what of imPorts who want to join in? There are only two rules: imPorts may not enter as themselves, nice try jerks, and nor are they allowed to use shapeshifting powers. Other than that, they're welcome to join in on the competitions and the festivities! There are awards being given for everything from Best Performer to Best Costume to Most Accurate Posing, so jump in, and enjoy! ImPorts ARE free to give their own input (or imPut! Haha! So funny!)

IMPORT HALL

Aside from the panels, this is where imports are welcomed as special guests! Above the entire affair is a huge sign that reads, cheerfully: "WELCOME IMPORTS!". Here, imPorts are welcomed to set up their own booths to sell their goods, autographs, and pictures, advertise their businesses, or to simply meet some of their fans! A special photo-op booth is available for imPorts who are game for one-on-one meetings but don't want to set up a booth. Security is tightest around this area, but only for the safety of imPorts; if any fans get a little too touchy-feely without the imPort's consent, rest assured, they'll be hauled out in short notice. There is also a special demonstration area, marked off with cones, where imPorts may show off crowd-appropriate powers for some oohs and aahs.

This is also the place where willing and participating imPorts are showered with special gifts featuring everything from fanmade scrapbooks of their public exploits and fanart, home baked goods, or samples from all sorts of corporate representatives eager to have imPorts represent everything from their makeup lines to their gas-buster pills.

REFRESHMENTS

Forget the generic, slightly stale burgers and fries most commonly found at convention centers. Just outside the venue is a series of imPort-inspired food trucks and stalls. Ready for some Persephone Paprikash? What about some Emmett Brown-ies for dessert? Delicious! And we can't forget the line of So Carbonated They'll Make You ~~Tina~~ Belcher craft sodas. imPorts get a discount if they show of their tattoos to prove they're not just fantastic cosplayers!

DESIGN-YOUR-OWN POWER STATION

This year's FanPort has a special charity room for imPorts who feel like doing some community outreach. Long-term patients at Nonah Children's Hospital who are well enough to travel have been brought to the con, where imPorts who sign up to volunteer will help them dream up their own powers, design their own superhero costume and dress up using a wardrobe of donated costume parts. Each child can then pose in front of a green screen with their favorite imPort to create a superhero team-up!

RAVE

The first two nights of the convention, attendees can get their groove on after hours! The grand hall is opened up to various imPort inspired acts, such as the Woden-inspired Welcome to Valhalla, the Yurio Plisetsky-inspired Ice Ice Babies, and the Stark family-inspired Kings of the North. All of these shows are complete with light shows and complimentary glow sticks, and once the clock hits past 9 PM, a bar opens up in the back for natives and imPorts alike, provided that they're of-age — and yes, they will be checking their IDs!

Want to get your rock on? These acts will gracefully step aside to allow imPort musicians to take the stage, but will respond even more happily to jam sessions.

Chilton's conclusion is that the longer you are in this world as an imPort, the more dramatically the environment affects you, sometimes profoundly influencing your behavior in unpredictable way, and he argues that the data supports a myriad of impacting variables within that environment, with no one singular cause to blame. Starring imPort Guests: Frederick Chilton and Joseph Kavinsky

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Of course I-- Viktor, I was at the Q-and-A, remember?

[ It was pretty hard to forget, with the whole scene that Harley made! He stared at him hard, just daring Viktor to try and lie to him. ]

[ Guess who really forgot about it. He blinks at Adachi, looking genuinely surprised. ]

Oh, you were?

[ Adachi just... stared, because he had no idea what else to do. He couldn't be serious, right? Was he running on autopilot? Was there even an autopilot system in that skull of his? It took a moment for his surprise to give way to anger, and when it finally did, his good hand came up, cracking Viktor across the face before he even realized what he was doing. ]

[ ...oh god, he slapped his beautiful face??? ]

[ He was dimly aware of some people watching that jumped in response, eyes wide and staring at Adachi, but he didn't care enough to focus on that right now. His focus was on how Viktor would react, and... yeah, he felt a little bad about hitting him, but what the hell else was he supposed to do!? ]

Snap out of it, Viktor!

[ He really did slap that beautiful face, yep. And Viktor does have an auto pilot, refined over at least a decade or so. It stutters at the slap though, eyes widening in surprise as his head whipped around with the force of the slap. He doesn't even register the pain of it yet he's so surprised.

The first thing he does register is the gasps and mutterings of the crowd around them blinking his eyes into focus on the couple closest to them before he turns back around to Adachi. ]

[ Well, at least now he looked like he had a little more life to his face. Adachi still felt a little bad about slapping him, but it looked like that really was the only way to get him out of zombie mode. He took a breath, curling his hands up into fists, but managing something resembling calm as he continued. ]

Do you think Yuuri would be happy if he found out you were just moping around because he left? Hunh?! Do you think he'd appreciate you letting Yurio run your life for you while you just sat there and let everything pass right under your nose?!

[ Viktor raises his hand to his cheek, starting to feel the sting of it, his pale cheek warm and flushed under his fingers. ]

Tohru, what ... ?

[ Was he not listening to him? It really seemed he wasn't listening to him. He grabbed Viktor by his jacket, hauling him down to his level before he turned slightly, to where Yurio had disappeared to the waiting area. ]

Were you not paying attention to what he was doing? How he was skating? That kid is desperately trying to tell himself that everything will be okay, and you. Are not. Helping him.

[ Viktor's still trying to catch up since his auto pilot was kicked off, mind slowly engaging in the present. ]

Of course I was watching ...

[ He trails off, thinking back to Yuri's performance a few moments ago. He had been watching, but he's only now realizing how his mind had wandered during it. ]

No you weren't.

[ The accusatory tone in Adachi's voice is obvious, and he really doesn't care how much attention it's drawing right now, or if Yurio can see it. Someone needed to say it so it actually got through his stubbornly thick skull and stuck this time. ]

If you were, you'd've heard what he was trying to say. He's hurting, Viktor; not just because of what you did with me, but he's suffering from Yuuri's loss here too. He's trying so hard to convince himself he's going to be okay, but he doesn't believe it, and it is obvious.

[ He took a deep breath, letting go of his jacket, but grabbing his arm instead. His grip was tight, and he lowered his voice as another skater guy he didn't recognize went out. ]

This shit is why I'm doing what I'm doing; so people like you and Yurio can go back home and not have to worry about being randomly dragged to a place like this. Where you guys can live out your lives like you were meant to, and never have to worry about this place again. Or the people in it.

[ People like him; someone he'd been putting too much focus on before this, and now Yuri was suffering for it. Adachi wasn't going to address that right now -- that was a conversation for another time -- but he still gave him a hard look, like he was trying to drive his point home. ]

So stop moping. Yuuri is safe at home. You and Yurio are both here; and yeah, he's a pretty independent kid that can take care of himself, but he still needs a role model he can look up to. And right now you're all he has.

[ He finally let go of Viktor's arm then, pushing him back and toward the skater prep area as if he was saying, "You better damn well have a costume back there." ]

Now, pull yourself together.

[ Viktor doesn't miss the implication in Adachi's words this time, and he starts to swivel his head to look at him with widened eyes—did Adachi want Viktor to forget about him? Forget about everything that happened here?—but his push towards the prep area makes him stumble, head turning back around to make sure he didn't fall or run into someone.

One of the security team marking off the area recognizes Viktor immediately, probably a fan themselves, and ushers Viktor in while Viktor is still reeling a bit. He only manages to look back at Adachi once he's in the prep area, separated by the crowd and the area markings. He still looks surprised and shaken, but his gaze is finally present and engaged, looking at Adachi fully. ]

[ Adachi kept his eyes on him, and it wasn't until he finally saw Viktor looking like a human being again that he let the hardened look fall off his face. Pain replaced it instead, an ache that throbbed at his chest and made him want to claw away at it until he was bloody, but... he was doing the right thing here, he had to keep telling himself that. If Viktor kept looking back to him, then how was he supposed to go back home when they did manage to gain control of the porter? He couldn't do that to him, couldn't expect him to stay in this place, especially when the people he cared about would be back home, where they belonged. ]

[ Not only that... but if Viktor kept hanging around him as much as he did, he was only going to get him in even more trouble. ]

[ Adachi bit the inside of his cheek, fighting back the emotion that was threatening to overwhelm him. This fucking sucked, and it fucking hurt, but the only way Viktor was going to snap out of it was if he listened to the people around him and focused on the ones that mattered, and that meant he had to remove himself from the equation. ]

[ He took in a deep breath, nodding for him to go, before he turned to go back into the crowd watching the stone faced guy skating, going to drop himself into a seat. The least he could do was watch, before he gave up on all of this for good. ]

[ He stares for a moment more, catching the pained expression on Adachi's face before he turns away, facing the makeshift rink away from Viktor. He turns to face the same way, watching Otabek begin his program for a moment, then turning to watch Yuri in his cool down.

He did look exhausted, just like Adachi said. He knew Yuri used his ice powers before this as well as poured his heart out in his performance. It's a wonder he's still on his feet. Adachi was right, Viktor hadn't paid attention. Not until now.

He glances back at Adachi, trying to catch his eyes to nod back at him. ]

[ Lucky for him, Adachi happened to look back at him at that moment. Something like a smile came onto his face then, and he nodded back briefly. ]

[ Things weren't going to be easy, but at least he was smacked back on the right path. Literally. ]

[ After the nod, Viktor keeps his gaze on Adachi for several moments longer, the look in his eyes intense, trying to convey a message.

Don't look away. I'll show you I'll get better.

He only breaks it to turn and wrap his arms around Yuri, hugging him tightly despite everyone looking at them. ]

[ Adachi raised an eyebrow at that, a bemused look coming to his face. Viktor, what the hell are you even planning? Still it was good to see him hugging Yuri again, and see what looked like the two of them actually making up. ]

[ He smiled faintly, before leaning back in his seat, watching the stone faced guy going at it. The guy was good, obviously a professional like the rest of them, but he didn't have the same kind of emotional polish as Yuri and Viktor. ]

[ Viktor hugs Yuri for a long time, several minutes in fact. When he finally pulls away, he's smiling too, and then he's heading over to the bench, taking off his shoes. He'll be skating then! He even brought his skates, bringing them out while he hands something to Yuri too.

He heads out to the ice with a faint laugh back at Yuri who obviously grumbles something back, Viktor waving it off, almost like his care-free self again. He spends a few minutes warming up on the ice, and Adachi finally gets to see how Viktor performs in front of an actual audience. He practically holds them in the palm of his hand, knowing how to bring cheers out, how to entertain and grab their attention. It looks as natural as breathing to him.

Once he warmed up (is that enough time for him? it barely felt like a few minutes), Viktor skates to the center, signaling the tech guys to begin his track, and some familiar music starts to play ...

On one of the turns in the beginning of the program, Viktor catches where Adachi's sitting, throwing him a wink, knowing he'll catch the meaning behind it. ]

[ Yeah, no, that was definitely not enough time for a warm up, especially since he doubts Viktor has been practicing that much, and even more so when he recognizes the song that comes on. That thing was long, and he wasn't entirely sure that Viktor could skate the whole thing without falling over. ]

[ ...and then he had to go and wink at him. ]

[ Adachi very nearly groaned, rolling his eyes skward and trying to fight against the heat coming to his fac. This impossible man! He pulled himself together in the next moment, and he was sure not to take his eyes off of what he was doing. The target of the ice dance was immediately obvious, and thank hell for that, because if any of that had been aimed at him, he would have jumped onto the ice to smack him again. Still, more than once he felt himself ready to leap out of his seat, worried that Viktor was going to fall over any second, or worse, over exert himself to the point of passing out. ]

[ He was releaved when he came to the end, rising from his seat slightly as the crowd around him went nuts, waiting to see how Yurio was going to react. ]

[ It doesn't look like he reacted much at all? Just standing there at the edge of the fencing as he watches Viktor with tears leaking from—

Oh. I guess that's a reaction, huh?

And then Viktor practically collapses on him, too tired to keep himself standing while he leaned down to hug the smaller Russian, making them fall over onto a small snowdrift (how did that get there?). Yuri looks disgruntled by this turn of event, but at least it looks like Viktor is laughing, if still exhausted. ]

[ Adachi stood from his seat when he saw the two of them fall over, worried to the point that he almost ran over. He stopped when he saw Viktor was laughing, however, blowing out a breath. Geeze, that man... For a moment, he wasn't sure what to do, and he stood there awkwardly as people started to file out, talking animatedly about what they had just seen. ]

[ It was a moment before Adachi finally moved, smiling softly as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. He watched a moment more to make sure they were going to be okay, before turning to leave himself. ]

[ That was probably a good move for all their sake's, unfortunate as it is.

Later though, once the skaters are done with their autograph sessions and are rested enough to wander through the rest of the event, Adachi will find he closed his eyes and turned around at precisely the wrong moment. Viktor makes a light "oof" sound as Adachi runs right into his chest, making him wobble the slightest bit.. ]

Careful!

[ Adachi definitely didn't expect to hit the wall that was Viktor (and his amazing chest). He stumbled back, tripping over his own two feet, and his hands shot out, grabbing onto the only thing they could reach. ]

[ Which of course was Viktor. ]

[ Or more specifically Viktor's shirt which is, y'know, attached to him. And down they go~ Viktor tries to catch himself so he doesn't land fully on Adachi though he's only partially successful. ]

[ This did not go according to plan, or at least not to his plan! Adachi let out a grunt as he landed on the ground, and then a grunt again as Viktor half landed on top of him. Thankfully he managed to avoid putting his knee in any unfortunate places when he landed, but it came uncomfortably close. ]

U-um. Hi?

[ Hopefully no one noticed this. He didn't want to deal with fan girls right now. ]

[ There was NO PLAN INVOLVED in this, especially because Viktor's abused body did not need anything else straining it more than it already was, ow. It takes him a moment to get his breath back, having landed awkwardly on his hand which tweaked his shoulder, but yes, thankfully that knee didn't land anywhere damaging.

And yet again unfortunately, there appears to be a small horde of fangirls leaving "hall 8" with bags of dubious contents in tow, one of them squealing at the sight they must make which draws the attention of her fellows in short order. Sorry Adachi, it really isn't your day today.

Viktor leans up shortly after the squeal, sitting up to a kneeling position around Adachi's thighs and blinks down at him while he rubs at that shoulder. ]

Hi ... guess you didn't see me in time, huh?

[ Ugh... why?! And how could Viktor just ignore them like that?! Adachi tried not to look in their direction, least he end up drawing them closer or something. He shuffled out from under Viktor, trying desperately to make it look like he wasn't being straddled, but there was just no saving this situation. There was literally no way to save this at all. ]

Ah, no; sorry about that.
