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?

[ There was never any question of that. Usually his men know a smattering of Mando'a by the time they get all the way to the 501st but more and more of them have arrived knowing less and less. His men seem to get younger every time he looks at them. At any rate, 622 won't be the first person he's taught. ]
We don't exactly speak it the same way as the Duchess and the rest of the nobles, but it suits us just fine.

[He'd been trying to think back whether he'd ever heard their trainers speak anything but Basic, but nothing came to mind. Maybe the ones that had trained him hadn't known it. Or they'd been even more careful about speaking it than most of their conversations in front of the cadets. There was no way he could no for sure.]
I'd rather look at it the other way, really. We learn the practical stuff they overlook. [And in some cases, that was their prerogative, they had other things to focus on. In other cases it didn't seem like they could focus on anything. He'd been in the vicinity of enough of his commander's outreach work to see both.]

[ That's borrowing one of General Kenobi's words, and a concept that he's awfully fond of despite spending the majority of his time romping around battlefields, saber in hand, enemies at his feet, and for good reason - you'd have to be denser than Rex not to know precisely why the General always seems to find himself with noble company when he goes to Mandalore. The place hardly bears any similarity to those that had initially trained Rex and his crew and he remembers feeling faintly disappointed at the fact when he'd first arrived.
That's fine. There's a time and place for civilized behaviour but you won't find it in the army - or when you teach a bunch of eager eight year olds the swears first. ] But I'll teach you the practical stuff first.
[ The fun stuff can come later. ]

He'd missed something else too, somewhere in there. It was small, maybe unimportant, but it felt wrong to have that sensation, talking to another clone.] Always the best place to start.
