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?

A
He sees the girl at the shooting booth and how she picks off two of the three jugs--probably would have gotten the third if she calmed down. Not bad at all.]
Mind any competition?
no subject
[ Haru's hand is in her pocket looking for her coin purse when she overhears Jason's inquiry. His voice sounds a bit familiar, however it's difficult to conclude who he is or where he is from with all the noise around them. Not too far off there's a child screaming in his stroller and on the other side a girl laughing obnoxiously loud at her boyfriend's failed attempts to win her a prize.
Being quite short, Haru has to crane her neck to look up at Jason. ]
Me? Oh! [ She's a bit flustered at first, but she nods. ] Friendly competition would not be so bad, I think!
no subject
Great. I wouldn't want to push you out.
no subject
Not at all.
[ She is given a reloaded pellet gun. ]
I am not the best at this, but don't go easy on me either. Give it your best!
no subject
Not bad, for a toy. [And without asking for confirmation he decides to go first, shooting three bottles accurately in quick succession.]
no subject
[ The rapid succession makes her wince a little bit, but she's quick to relax again once all bottles have dropped to the floor. The carny nods at Jason, impressed by the level of his accuracy. Even the small crowd (of mostly kids) gather nearby to ohh and awe at that display.
Haru is quite amazed herself, though now she feels a bit nervous to follow up. ]
You're quite the marksman, aren't you? That was amazing!
[ And now she's up. She can't help the glow of her face as she squares her shoulders and takes aim once the bottles are set back up. With more kids watching to see who's going to win this competition, it feels like an added pressure.
So when she fires away, she knocks one bottle, a second bottle, but the last bottle she misses by quite a distance in her nervousness as the crowd holds its breath hoping she'll hit it. ]
Ah... so close.
no subject
But you're not bad. Don't let the pressure get to you. You wouldn't have hit the first two if you couldn't hit third.
no subject
Thank you for the advice. It's a bit hard to keep up the momentum with multiple rounds, huh?
[ Mostly because she's used to firing a grenade launcher in a cognitive world. Don't worry, only bad guys and monsters got hurt. ]
Do you not want to claim your prize by the way? You won.
[ She points a finger toward the stall, the booth owner pointing to the wall of prizes: most of which are stuffed toys, many of which seem to be designed after imPorts. There's probably a Batman in there somewhere. ]
no subject
Not my kind of thing. I was in it for the toys. [He holds up the gun and shakes it a bit with a wry grin.] You pick something.
no subject
[ Caught off guard by the offer, she waves her hands back and forth a tad nervously. Those curls of hers bounce up and down along her chin as she does so. ]
Are you sure? It's your prize, after all. Something to commemorate your own win.
no subject
[It's very nonchalant, since he doesn't really care and he'd rather someone get something they like than leave a prize sitting.]
no subject
Ah, they actually have one of Yusuke-kun! Wow... he is a lot more famous than I realized...
[ If it's supposed to be a cute toy, it isn't. What should look something akin to this fellow instead looks like a creepy, frumpy looking round figure of a blue haired guy with a paintbrush. ]
He will be so amused— oh! [ She looks back at Jason, smiling at him appreciatively. ] Thank you very much for this!
no subject
It's nothing. Nothing I see I like anyway.
[Because he's so not getting a little Batman and proving to be the kind of stereotype that Midnighter would mock him for being. He has some pride.]
Where'd you learn to shoot like that?
no subject
[ Suddenly, Haru looks slightly nervous. She can't tell Jason about the cognitive world without having to delve into the Phantom Thieves at some point. ]
Oh! Er... arcade games! Those shooter ones! They are quite excellent teachers!
[ To be fair, Akira became a hell of a marksman thanks to an arcade-obsessed 12 year old. ]
no subject
Arcade games, huh? I also found their guns pretty cheap. Not as heavy or accurate, but I guess these games aren't about real accuracy. They're for kicks.
[Gun snob, yes he is.]
no subject
It sounds as if you know a lot about guns.
[ Maybe Jason would be a good ally to have here for the Thieves. They no longer have their weapons dealer, after all. ]
Are you a collector of sorts?
no subject
[At least all the good ones.]
Why? You looking for a shooting range buddy?
no subject
... I have never actually been to a shooting range before.
