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?

But they still cover half of the carnival grounds within moments, placing them a good distance away from the mob and closer to the capture the flag field.]
I don't think so. There's nothing wrong with leaving a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable. [He begins to lower them closer to the ground.] I think we're far enough away.
no subject
Well, if this is the worst of things today, then I suppose that's fair and good enough to say. I didn't mean to cause a commotion, only-- [grimace.] It's...unnerving, the attention. I've done nothing to merit it.

[He's tempted to ask but isn't sure if she wants to talk about it, so he leaves it open for her to respond however she wants.]
It's important to know your boundaries when dealing with people, though. You can't stop them from recognizing you, but you can place yourself in a better situation to deal with it. Or take yourself out of the situation completely.
Like, if a crowd starts forming, give out a couple of autographs, or take a couple of pictures, and then withdraw. After awhile I think even the public will start to get the message.

You're an old hand at this kind of thing, aren't you? At least-- you seem to be, from the way you speak. Is it because you've been here long enough to know, or...perhaps from a world with similar circumstances?
no subject
Bit of both actually. Back home heroes are everywhere, similar to here. And it wasn't unusual for people to sometimes stop me when I was out in uniform and ask for a picture or something.
[Some didn't even ask. There were entire online galleries back home full of pictures of him flying.]
And here, at least in Nonah, my face is pretty well known because I'm on the news.
[That...doesn't actually explain anything.]
I'm the weatherman for Nonah News.

Had I known what appearing on Odin's show would unleash, I may have reconsidered... [but still gone. because she couldn't not support him! still. sigh.] But it must all just be in good fun here. I won't hold it against anyone...

[He holds out his hand.]
I don't think I ever introduced myself. I'm Andrew.

[He smiles.]
Well, you should be safe now, at least for a little while. Don't let those guys keep you from having fun.

Good evening, Andrew! [bow. and then, turning on her heel, she's off...to make sure Leo doesn't get swarmed and accidentally cause an incident.]
