Oh Mr. Clown, Oh Mr. Clown

WHO: YOU.
WHERE: Heropa Greenland Park.
WHEN: Sunday August 17th, from 11AM to 10PM.
WHAT: ImPorts participate in the local carnival, hosting their own attractions, helping with the booths and rides, and/or come looking to have a good time. Details here.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; please let us know if this should be edited.

Even in the daytime, Heropa Greenland Park appears almost dour in appearance and atmosphere. Employees of the park open the creaky gates at a few minutes before 11:00AM to allow imPorts and soldiers who have been ordered as security inside. Preparations have already started, with thick and colorful streamers lining hanging from one rusty looking lamppost another along the park's pathway. The booths look a little worse for wear and the while an effort had been made the night before, the park grounds are still coated in soda spills, popcorn, leftover hot dog bits, and other sticky and grimy messes. Sometimes the lights in the event booths flicker or burst entirely.

Needless to say, this place looks like it can use a makeover. While it fares well among its locals and those from Cape Canaveral, it has not been a place of interest among others in the state for quite some time. Right now? It looks more creepy than wholesome family entertainment.

But that's what imPorts are here for, aren't they? To liven up the place!

At the heart of the park is where employees have made enough room as possible for imPorts to set up their own attractions, booths, and whatnot. There will be small platforms for some imPorts and bigger ones may need to be shared among each other, scheduling their time slots for their own performances. There will be tables should anyone need it for performances that don't require a grand stage.

By noon there the line-up park employees had been expecting turns out even better than they had hoped. There are twice as many locals who've shown up, eager to see imPorts in action up close. By 12:30PM the park is bustling with people of all ages and all appear to be having quite the time, despite the occasional issue with the rides such as the merry-go-round (oops, it slows down more than it should), the carousel (it stops at least once every two hours), and the haunted house's lights go down at some point, though this seems to have worked in its favor.

Kids are screaming in delight everywhere, there are teens trying to do risky things on faster moving rides, and everyone is passing through the center at some point to come and check out what imPorts are going to do next.

Put on your best face and give them a show they'll remember, heroes!

( There is useful, and there is useless, and Franziska feels that the superpower she is currently witnessing very much falls in the latter category. She strides her way over to get a better look, but even closer inspection fails to result in the answer she desires. )

What is the point to this? ( She waves at the table. Maybe it's not a superpower on its own. Maybe it's a side-effect of some other ability. )

The point is that leopard print is making a tremendous comeback in the fashion world. Why not get ahead of the trends and see an imPort's power at work at the same time?

[ Yeah, that bit about leopard print making a comeback? Utter bullshit. So much bullshit. Freddie just wants to scam people out of their money with her absolutely useless power. ]

( She scoffs. )

'Making a comeback'? Who on Earth would want to dress in the fashion of an animal?

[ Freddie's look is pure 'scuze you, Ms. Horrible Fashion.' Who'd want to wear animal prints? How about Freddie everybody, okay??? Thankfully, Freddie manages to keep down the brunt of her annoyance. ]

More people than you'd think. If you knew the slightest bit about high fashion, you'd know the power of a good animal print.
