May Swear In
WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Nonah's Fairgrounds
WHEN: May 12th
WHAT: May Swear In
WARNINGS: None expected; please warn in threads if necessary
Spring is finally beginning to fade into summer with weather starting to warm, and the trees and flowers beginning to blossom into their peak, and what better way to celebrate the welcome change in weather than with a FAIR?
The fairgrounds have been transformed overnight with a swath of rides and attractions filling the field from one edge to the other. There is, of course, a booth for imPort registration that's positioned near the entrance of the fair. Even so, imPorts with an interest in registering may have to ask a fair worker for directions. The signage on the registration booth is, for some reason, faded and easy to miss among the bright and bold banners and lights drawing attendees to the different game booths that line the paths further into the grounds. Must have just been poor planning on someone's part!
Further into the park there are a wide array of the standard carnival games. Games include from balloon pops where you can win your very own "signed" copy of imPort photographs, but does anyone actually remember signing any photos…? There's also a ring toss that no one can seem to win, but the prizes include items like a water bottle discarded by Tony Stark, or dried flowers from one of Persephone's actual vines! Or maybe you'd like to prove your sharpshooter skills by knocking milk bottles down with a pellet gun? Prizes range from cheap, poorly painted figures of popular imPorts, to a handful of detailed and poseable figurines of both imPorts and famous media characters for the very best shooters.
Past the games are the many, many different food booths. You can chow down on Fried Stuff On Sticks, offering fare ranging from deep fried cheesecake on a stick to deep fried corndogs on a stick to a variety of tempura on sticks. (It counts!!) Or perhaps you prefer a healthier roasted meat? There's no shortage of options for that: roast turkey, roast beef, roast bison, roast alligator? Strangely few, if any, of these booths offer any vegetable options, but intrepid imPorts can find a booths offering superfood smoothies, quinoa bowls, or fruit parfaits tucked away at the very end of the food court.
And don't forget the main attraction (at least, the attraction Galla is most pleased with): CAPTURE THE FLAG. A parcel of land roughly the size of two side-by-side American football fields has been fenced off, and a brightly colored banner that looks like it manifested directly from the 90s is hung across the entrance, inviting all to enjoy! Inside, there is a scattering of trees to provide some natural cover in addition to man-made structures like sections of wall, pieces of large construction pipe to crawl through or hide in, and, of course, the different flag bases:
Yes, those are inflatable dinosaur heads inside an inflatable Jurassic Adventure. The flags are located inside of the temple the top of the "mountain" which, conveniently, has a rock climbing facade just in case climbing to the top of an inflatable hill is too difficult for some players.
Capture the Flag games are held hourly, and imPorts can choose to compete against each other, against natives, or even to team up with local native attendees! When competing against or with natives, imPorts are asked to refrain from flight, mind-reading, or teleportation, but it isn't a rule being strictly enforced. In fact, apart from those requests, imPorts are encouraged to use their powers as much as they like! There are natives lined up around the perimeter to watch the games play out, so why not give them a show to remember?

Is this food, technically?
no subject
It stopped being food when they battered it. Ditch the corndog, try the cheesecake.
no subject
[ Says the kid with the french fries sneaking up on people. Nico was easy to spot in a crowd (which can be said for both of them, to be honest) and why not stop by to bother his roommate and name twin? ]
Hey Nico. Who is this?
[ Straight to the punch with this one. ]
1/2
Jesus, Nico, don't-- [she exhales.]
2/2
This is Karolina. [lacing her fingers with k's as she goes on.] Karolina, this sneaky little gremlin is my housemate, Nico di Angelo. He's that son of Hades I told you about.
no subject
no subject
[ He gives her a small wave, before he ends up chuckling a bit. ] I think it's a debate still on who is "Nico 1" because we both still answer.
My bo...er Will calls me "Neeks" sometimes. Weird nick name, I guess.
[ Yep, still super embarrassed by his significant annoyance-- in the sense that he's still nervous telling anyone, let alone a stranger, he has a boyfriend. ]
no subject
I think Magnus started saying girl Nico and boy Nico, but that one didn't take. Guessing Will might not like it if we borrowed the nickname.
no subject
She doesn't know why the other Nico seems to be tripping on defining his relationship, but just in case he's worried about her reaction she wants his mind put at ease.
That and she just wants to do it.] Who's Will?
no subject
He offers her a kind smile. ]
My...boyfriend. The son of Apollo. [ He admits shyly. ] Sorry uh... I'm kind of time displaced as well so the whole being "out" thing is still new.
[ Plus being forced out by the Roman God of Love never helps matters. ]
no subject
Well, she tries to. She ends up having to more use her forearm what with the difference in their heights.] Being out is a pretty new thing for me too. But it feels good, right?
no subject
Don't look at me, I didn't even know I wasn't straight until Karolina made her move. [she wasn't exactly ever actively closeted. just, y'know, hadn't really thought about it.] You should meet Will, K. He's all sunshiny and shit.
no subject
[ Freeing at times, but stifling at others -- like he was constantly looking over his shoulder. ]
He is the son of Apollo. Sunshiny is an accurate description.
no subject
Do you guys... or I guess did you, but do you keep up with your dads?
