It's your chance to shine (June Swear-In)

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: CAPES Conservation Center, Heropa
WHEN: Saturday June 15th, evening
WHAT: Swear in!!
WARNINGS: None

To celebrate 5 successful FanPorts, FanPop, organizers of the aforementioned convention wanted to do something special and give back to the community. They've teamed up with the Center for Advancement & Protection of Endangered Species (CAPES) to throw the biggest, craziest gala of them all.




Any imPort who doesn't arrive in the appropriate theme (unleashing your inner hero) will be whisked away to a private area where a team of professional designers, stylists, and make-up artists will get them into whatever that imPort thinks suits that theme best, from all in to barely trying... though imPorts should really think about what will make a statement. As the stylists will insist, the bigger, the better.

Only once imPorts are in the appropriate attire will they be allowed to walk the gala's red carpet, where throngs of reporters are just dying to see what unique look will come along next. Feel free to rush past or play to the cameras.




The center has been completely decked out to fit the gala, with wall hangings of animals dressed as superheroes adorning the walls. The largest room, extinction hall, has been completely transformed into a 5-star dining room full of greenery, with strings of lights mimicking starlight dancing across the massive glass ceiling. Each imPort will find that their table, and even their seat, has been assigned, and a cute stuffed animal of an endangered species is waiting for them to remind them of the purpose of the night.

ImPorts are encouraged to explore the center, with many rooms on the first floor containing interactive, virtual exhibits showcasing the plight of the animals. One large room has been turned into a ballroom with famous musicians performing live, and an open bar in the back (where they will be checking ID). One room has a series of photobooths containing props for hero or animal transformations (or both).




The highlight of the event--and the main fundraising aspect--can be found on the second floor, in the clear stream rooms. These rooms, which are all clearly labelled, have a variety of cameras set up throughout in order to catch the best angles while imPorts engage in various fun activities. In order to access these streams, excited fans at home can donate money to CAPES to help save the animals. These activities include:


  • A Casino. ImPorts looking to test their luck can head into a room designed to look like a Vegas casino, where there are several tables set up for imPorts to play Poker, Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarrat. It can be a game for fun or a game for money, so be sure to ask which one's which before sitting down, or be in for a nasty (or unexpected) surprise!
  • Magic and Mayhem. ImPorts looking to have a little nerdy fun can pop in here, where a few local GMs from FanPort have been brought in to run quick, introductory games to the massively popular tabletop RPG.
  • Scavenger Hunt. The objective seems simple enough. Each imPort who enters the room is handed a piece of paper containing a series of animals, and the number of each animal they need to find. That's when the volunteer opens the inner door, and reveals several kiddie pools, each filled to the brim with tiny animal toys of varying species. Hurry up, there's only 15 minutes to complete the objective... and there's more than on imPort in there with a list.
  • Werewolf. Each imPort in the room is handed a slip of paper upon entering, denoting them as a human or werewolf, with a GM from FanPort brought in to moderate. Remember the rules; it's up to the humans to defeat the werewolves, and the werewolves to devour the humans. Don't forget to play smart to win.
  • Baking Competition. Cooking shows are always popular, and so the room host, comedian Natalie Whyer, has handed every imPort entering the room an extravagant animal-themed pastry, cookie, donut, or cake, escorts them to their well-stocked prep station, and gives them an hour to get it Spot On. The audience watching online hopes they don't.


  • Throughout the night imPorts will be ushered back to extinction hall for the next round of dinner, catered by famous celebrity chef Demeke Waro. Each course is somehow better than the last, and by dessert one might be too full to ever eat again.

    For anyone looking to get away from it all for a few minutes, there's a beautiful greenhouse in the rear of the museum for quiet contemplation and mental battery recharging.

    So what do you say imPorts? How much money are you going to help raise for a good cause?

    Scavenger Hunt

    [personal profile] crypdick 2019-06-16 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
    The Outsider lifts a little whale toy to indicate his answer. Was he even assigned whales? Probably not. But he doesn't even know what a panda is, nor does he care about the game.

    His outfit was chosen for him at the door, sort of. Once he realized they intended to dress him, he picked out a coat that reminded him of home, a skirt that didn't, and a scarf to complete the look.

    After showing Ben the whale he disappears, reappears a few feet away, grabs something, and returns in a puff of black smoke with a wolf. A game is hardly interfering.

    "Enjoying yourself?"
    the_horror: (Wondering)

    [personal profile] the_horror 2019-06-16 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
    He actually liked the look that the other had put together for himself. It was, well, if Ben were going to go out in secret, that would be the type of outfit he'd want to use as a costume. Not that it would work, but he liked it.

    So, the other was looking for a whale. Only then he bamped out and... Ben jumped as he appeared near him again. This has got to be what it feels like when he Ghosts out on people. It was a lot like Five in a way.

    When he returns he's holding a wolf, making Ben smile. "Thanks!" he said, taking it if it was offered and tucking it into his pile. "I just need one more of those, and two leopards." He went on digging through, but chuckled. "Surprisingly enough, I am enjoying myself. I thought this might be dumb, but it's a bit of fun really."
    crypdick: (is that a knife in your pocket or)

    "You tried it despite your doubts."

    The Outsider picks around and pulls out a narwal. He turns the toy over in his hands, looking at the horn.

    "Is this a whale or some other kind of sea creature?"

    "Yeah, I sure did. Seems silly, right?" Then he shrugged but was smiling. This guy was always so... weird, but interesting. Like a child asking questions of things he didn't understand. Or, an outsider, looking into a glass house, wondering what was going on.

    "Oh, that's a Narwhal. Um, think of it like the unicorns of the sea." He smirked, looking the others face over. "Cute, right?"
    crypdick: (that was super great)

    [personal profile] crypdick 2019-06-19 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
    He doesn't think it's silly, but he's not sure how to respond to that. He's not used to small talk. As for the other thing...

    "Unicorn... One-horned? That's clear enough."

    He doesn't know what a unicorn is either.

    The Outsider, meanwhile, enjoys when there are things he doesn't know about, but he feels he's starting to come across as very ignorant. So he decides to explain a little.

    "The creatures here are strange to me. Many are new. But some are the same animals, but as if they were a very different breed of the same thing."

    the_horror: (Pleased)

    [personal profile] the_horror 2019-06-19 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
    He pauses as the other seems to think the Unicorn reference is clear enough. He was about to say it was a bit of a joke, though truth as well, really. Then the other clarified, and, well, it made sense.

    "I see. I got lucky. This earth is a lot like mine." He said and grinned. "You knew what a wolf was, so you must have those there too, huh?" He then pulled up a small plush toy. A rat. He held it out to the other, smiling. "You have rats where you're from too? Or was the one you had in the house your first?"

    He didn't feel the other was ignorant at all. He understood that others might not know the same things as they had on this earth. So that was something.

    "Rats I'm very familiar with. They're even mostly the same, though the ones here are far less deadly to encounter."

    The Outsider looks around the toys for a good example before pulling out a rhinoceros. "This looks familiar, but it has two differing horns on its snout, rather than long thin ones on either side of its head."
    the_horror: (Hoodies surprised)

    [personal profile] the_horror 2019-06-21 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
    "Are your rats of unusual size or something?" He asked, brow raised about that. Rats could be very deadly if they wanted to be.

    "Oh, that's a rhinoceros. I love them. They're so highly endangered though, for their horns. I've never seen one with horns on the side of their head, unless you mean elephants? And that's more, uh, side of the mouth?" He paused there, looking at the other. He found this guy so interesting, really.

    "Where ever you exist seems very extreme compared to here though." Deadly rats and head horned rhinoceros.
    crypdick: (they used this knife)

    Cw for uh description of a bad way to go

    [personal profile] crypdick 2019-06-21 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
    "The rat's are a little larger but it's the numbers that make them dangerous. A large enough swarm of plague rats can devour a grown man in seconds. And that's with a cure for the plague itself."

    He doesn't seem particularly bothered by anything he just said.

    "From what I gather about the creatures of this world, you're not wrong to assume the ones I describe are more dangerous."

    He gives the rhino another look before tossing it back to the others.

    "Rhinoceros sounds right."
    the_horror: (Ew Klaus)

    [personal profile] the_horror 2019-06-29 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
    He just stares at him for a moment, a hand in the toy pool, holding a black bird in the other hand and well, staring. "Man. That sounds terrible. I'll pass."

    He's not bothered by it? But more he wouldn't want to be apart of that.

    "Generally creatures here are fine enough. You leave them alone and they will leave you alone. There's always an exception to the rule though, but generally it's because humans are in their territory."

    He tosses the black bird to the side of the pool the Outsider was on.
    crypdick: (wanton flesh)

    [personal profile] crypdick 2019-07-01 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
    "Humans often assume everywhere is their territory, they merely have to conquer it."

    He picks up the bird Ben tossed and examines it.

    "Does the natural world interest you?"
