WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Jeopardy -> Heropa
WHEN: Nov. 19
WHAT: A resolution and a swear-in
WARNINGS: Please label threads
Somewhere, in a place that is and is not Jeopardy, time has passed. To some, it may have felt like mere hours; to others, days. For time doesn't truly touch this place. Only fate exists here, for imPorts to change or allow to proceed as it will.
Somewhere, the sisters look into the hearts of those with the power to decide the fate of this entire world and know their choice. A blinding light grows, forcing even the strongest to close their eyes, and as they do so, a vision of what could have happened appears in their minds. A world wreathed in flames, fire and screams echoing ceaselessly as they depart; a peaceful world, healed and whole and well—and a certainty that another world has paid a heavy price.
And then there's the sensation of three powerful forces leaving, two taking an unwilling third with them to wherever they are going. This world will be left as it is now, and its future will be whatever the people here make of it.
MEANWHILE, IN HEROPA
One week into the mysterious storm that has enveloped much of Jeopardy, citizens across the nation are losing hope. The government continues to monitor the situation at a safe distance, but cannot enter the affected part of the city, though one SEAL team did make an attempt, only to become lost in the wind for hours before emerging without ever making it through. While the storm hasn't grown, neither has it shown any sign of changing.
The heroes who bravely charged into the storm have not officially been given up for lost, but with no news coming from Jeopardy, few believe they will emerge unscathed. To honor their sacrifice (?) and offer sorrowful natives a means of coping, a candlelight vigil kicks off outside Heropa City Hall at 4:30 PM EST.
Speeches are given. Commemorative t-shirts are sold. It is at this point that a large portal of light opens up in front of the building and deposits all imPorts who entered the storm, as well as a confused but unharmed Layla and Sally Clapp. A stunned silence falls over the crowd — followed shortly by an eruption of cheers.
Organized chaos quickly reigns over the occasion. Medical personnel are quickly called in to aid any imPorts who might need it, and government officials quickly descend, one thing on their mind: what the heck happened, heroes?! ImPorts are asked to state, for the record, exactly what they experienced — which leaves a lot of room open for the more creative among them. Just what each imPorts is willing to confess to or lie about is up to them, but there are other imPorts at hand to refute or support all statements.
While imPorts are technically free to go, all are encouraged to enter the building for a debriefing with government officials. Those who care to share their story begin to paint a picture of what happened, and a flurry of transportation begins to move between City Hall and the local porter outpost, as Jeopardy will certainly require some aid now that it is fully accessible. Reports begin to filter back that while there have been some casualties and collateral damage to the city, it is far less of a disaster than the government anticipated during the storm, no doubt due to imPorts' efforts. Additionally, news from other porter cities begins to arrive; with the dissipation of the Jeopardy storm, all dimensional anomalies elsewhere have ceased.
Following the briefings, ImPorts may go home and get some rest, although they may have trouble shaking off the crowds — which are largely ecstatic that the people who apparently saved the world are in front of them.
While imPorts were occupied with the post-disaster debriefings, locals have used the time to launch an impromptu celebration of their defense of this world. Local restaurants, breweries and nanas have hustled their finest wares over, and free food and drink are flowing for the homecoming heroes. A local party & events organizing company has strung up some lights and tents in the park across the street from City Hall, lending a festive atmosphere to the area. T-shirts being sold to honor the assumed-fallen heroes have been 'edited' with permanent marker, going from 'FALLED HEROES' (there was an error in the print run, given the notice of less than a week) to 'RISEN HEROES' and are, regretfully, being given away for free.
For those who stay, an impromptu party breaks out, and the occasion quickly becomes the latest swear-in, albeit with a more casual emphasis on the actual swearing-in than usual; a card table is set up with the usual seals and documents, but it's a bit haphazard.
Along with tasty libations, local musicians start jamming on acoustic guitars in the park's gazebo, setting up some cheerful background music—or maybe you're not too tired to dance? A local physical therapy school has rolled in multiple portable massage tables, with free sessions for sore heroes!
The locals who haven't dispersed yet are also around, likely to seek autographs from the world savers, while podcasters, BlueTubers and regular nosy nellies might lean in with a recording device, asking for the real story of what happened. For imPorts who become too intoxicated or exhausted to porter home, many locals are offering couches to crash on — although the pillows they use may later show up on ePay.

arrival
no subject
[Despite butting heads and Batman's no-nonsense style of superheroing, Darin did genuinely want to express his thanks for helping put this monumental task together.]
[He's gonna scan around and ask if anyone's seen him or saw where he went so he can try and catch a private word with the man.]
no subject
but whenever darin finds him, he's at his car, likely making contact with the rest of the outside world. mainly, he's contacting iris at the justice league to let them all know everyone is okay. he may also be calling selina, and if he is, he might hear the very end of that conversation between a very soft bat and cat. ]
...Okay. I'll see you soon. I love you, Cat.
no subject
Wasn't sure I'd get a chance to talk to you again before the night got too crazy.
...I wanted to say 'thank you.'
I know it's not necessary but...really, I don't think this all would have come together without your help.
I doubt I'd be able to pull a stunt like this on my lonesome.
[He offers a hand in gratitude.]
no subject
[ he takes it in return, grip firm. ]
Planning that speech of yours since the week we were stuck in there?
no subject
So...what's next on the docket? You don't think I'm gonna let our little team up dissolve so easily, right?
We still got OTO records to go through after all. Make sure that there aren't any other hidden surprises waiting for us.
no subject
I have one rule: this investigation stays between the Justice League and Aegis. While in the end it was necessary, too many people people we didn't know were compelled to make their own moral judgments in the outcome of this. I won't deal with having something like that happen again.
no subject
...I know a lot of people were left up to their own judgments in there. But it's rare that such a large group of people can yield a net positive...you know?
Silver lining?
[Yes, he's trying to get Batman to see the bright side.]
At the very least...let's hope those who sacrificed something to Clotho won't regret it. I know I don't.
no subject
Yeah... silver lining.
no subject
What's in store for them?
no subject
[ a more serious gaze. ]
If any part of the OTO still exists, none of us can risk them getting their hands on either of them.
no subject
No one wants anything bad to happen to those kids. They deserve to live their lives now.
no subject
[ a pause, and a close consideration of darin. ]
If you had to do something to protect them, what would you do?
no subject
They're kids.
I'd make sure they could live peacefully. Take it from someone who knows what it's like to be under constant public scrutiny as a kid...
I'd make sure they could enjoy themselves as peacefully as possible. It's all to quickly they'll be forced with the burden of reality. I think they deserve that much, don't you?
no subject
Hm. That's why if anything happened, they'd be gone before anyone knew the difference. I'd have them set up with new lives before the end of the week.
no subject
I get it.
Too many cooks and all that nonsense.
[He does offer a bit of a smile. At least he can tell Batman has the kids' interests in mind. That's more than can be said of a lot of people.]
I'll leave it to you then.
no subject
[ ... ]
You up for it?
no subject
...Y-Yeah! Of course! Gods know I'm not going anywhere...
no subject
If it ever comes to that, I'll make sure the information gets to you through Bruce Wayne.
no subject
It's good to know I'm trusted.
