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?

Which would... logically be the bouncy castle, but. Pass. For now.
"Yeah-- it's nice when they're like this. I think the problem is people just... expect something bad to happen. I know I am, right now. Even if it won't."
no subject
"I know what you mean. This is the first Swear-In in a while that I didn't wear my combat gear to. Tell you the truth, I feel a little naked... but you just can't spend your whole life waiting for the worst, am I right?"
He says, fully aware that there's a good chance he's jinxing the continued peaceful existence of the Swear-In simply by saying such forbidden words.
no subject
He looks around as they walk, watching the natives take everything in and the other odd-imPort he recognises in the crowd.
"I think it's less paranoid here, though. If you wear your combat gear around, you just seem like a superhero ready to react to anything that might cross your path. Not someone who's consumed with anxiety."
no subject
Jacob idly tosses a couple of his now-empty meat sticks in a nearby receptacle. He wonders what it must be like to be the natives showing up to these things. Are they blissfully unaware of the dangers that might burst onto the scene without warning, living lives where they aren't expected to be 'heroes?' Or are they more anxious and vulnerable than Jacob could ever be, fully aware that they don't have the same advantages, powers, and resurrection potential as the mighty imPorts?
"Besides, I can still defend myself without my full equipment... and you've got your Pokemon with you just in case, don't you?"
no subject
"I've been learning some combat stuff, if you ever want a rematch. I might actually be able to hit you, this time," he says with a light grin. Magnus, especially, was good at showing him how to use the ungodly amount of stamina he's built up through a lifetime of constantly pushing himself for fun and work. It got a good footing when he'd swim through strong currents as a kid outside his hometown, like all the other kids did.
"Though I'm trying to figure out how to behave in terms of having the healing power. I keep forgetting I even have it, 'cause it's still new."
Oops, guess this is Combat Advice With Jacob, now.
no subject
Combat Advice with Jacob is one of his favourite times. Especially with the news that Archie might have found a way to defend himself and others that doesn't leave him as disturbed as the prospect of wielding a weapon once did.
no subject
He still needs to find himself, he knows. He's not as disturbed, but he still hates it... but that doesn't matter. Archie can live with it better knowing he can help people.
In theory.
"--Ah, can I ask something? It's a little personal."
no subject
"Sure thing," he says, chewing and swallowing. "What's on your mind?"
no subject
"I, uh, realised I never really asked how you were doing after the relic thing. I was a little wrapped up in my own head and... yeah."
no subject
"I was fine, Archie," he assures him. "No lasting injuries, except maybe my pride. I've gotten my ass kicked a lot worse than that, believe me."
no subject
(It wouldn't be as dramatic as that, he knows on some level, but it's his excuse.)
"If you're sure..." he says, as close as he gets to it. "I guess it's a good thing we only fought once before that, right? Ha..."
He shakes his head.
"Well, anyway, if you wanna talk about anythin' that happened, just tell me. I know it's a bit late, but... better than never?"
no subject
For Jacob, it was just another day at the office, really. A Porter city in peril, monsters to fight, a defeat at the hands of a stronger opponent wearing a familiar face. But he's been in Archie's position as well- having his will twisted into attacking his friends. And that had definitely left a mark on him.
no subject
"Thanks. I'm handling it," he says, lying far too easily.
no subject
"Good to know," he says. "Pirates don't get shook, right?"
no subject
"I completely forgot about that! I can't believe you remembered!"
He cackles for a few extra seconds.
"Fuck. Don't tell me you have a scrapbook of all the embarrassing shit I say."
no subject
no subject
"Shit. Now you got me paranoid! No-one else says as much stupid shit!"
Archie shakes his head.
"Ah-- alright. Let's get to that fuckin' flag capture shit, huh? I'll come in with ya."
