WHO: EVERYONE
WHERE: a park by the beach, Heropa
WHEN: All day Saturday the 31st
WHAT: A big imPort charity fair!
WARNINGS: Everyone's traumatic past and all that entails. No really. Everyone's. Please use your own discretion.

There's an imPort charity fair going on down at a park by the beach in fair Heropa, today! You've probably seen it advertised for a couple of weeks, now. In the newspaper, on the network, flyers on street posts-- so on and so forth. All proceeds go towards the safety net fund for unsettled imPorts! Their aim as stated is to ensure all imPorts who come here-- especially children-- don't feel pressured in to registering just because they're worried they won't be able to get a job or have anywhere to live otherwise. They've been around for a while. Perhaps you've received help from them already, or heard of them in passing.

Perhaps you're just lured by the promise of food and drink.

Or perhaps you'd like to try to try your hand at some of the amateur game stalls set up?

Maybe you were just walking past and came to see what all the commotion was about.

Or maybe you're genuinely interested in the charity and wished to put a donation straight in the box, or wanted to suss out the man in charge. (Mandrake's around, talking to potential donors.)

Maybe you've come because you're interested in the advertisement of the charity's free resume building help and networking services for imPorts.

Or perhaps, like any seasoned imPort, you just don't trust large gatherings of imPorts in one place to not go wrong, and you're here on guard in case the worst should happen.

Whatever the case, the weather is fine and the fair seems to be bustling. Plenty of imPort-sympathetic locals are here as well, mingling and generally having a good time. What are you doing in the crowd?

[You may officially begin your memory sharing shenanigans! As per the OOC post, characters don't have to participate in this log to participate in the plot, but the purpose of the log is to help facilitate as much memory sharing in one place as possible to avoid flooding. Side-effects should wear off on imPorts by Sunday night!]

... Definitely depends on the usage.

And no way am I developing that for anyone else. If I make them again, they'll only work with my technopathy. No transmitter.

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-02 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Techwhat? Like you can talk to the tech stuff or move it or something? That's your....power?

[Ed is relieved his is fairly straightforward. At least it is to him. Even if he's still miffed and complains alchemy is not some superpower, it's a science.]

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-02 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Well, really it's technokinesis. If it's a machine or a component for one, I can affect it telekinetically. Uh, I mostly use it for disassembling things and keeping all my tools within reach. It kind of ... remembers if I set a specific layout for parts to go in.

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-02 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Kinesis is moving stuff, right? At least. I think so. That's kind of neat. Bet Winry'd have a blast with that too. I guess it makes more sense for you to have something like that in comparison with your whole...future tech stuff though. Some of these powers are pretty handy and versatile, that's for sure.
microbrobotics: (under attack)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-02 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, that's what the Greek means. It's really useful but also not gonna get me out of a fight in a back alley without preparation.

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-02 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can see that. But I guess if you need a hand learning to defend yourself I could help. Teacher taught me how to fight as well as using alchemy.

[Hiro is just a kid, but that's never stopped people messing with Ed back home. Or the Hornets, likely. So it's not the worst idea.]
microbrobotics: (where is he?)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-02 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks Ed up and down ... For once, Ed's lack of height is working for him rather than against him. If Ed can do that and find it effective, then surely Hiro can too. ]

Okay, sure. I'd like that. I gotta have a backup plan - there's too many dangerous people here.

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-02 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Chances are it is not immediately apparent for the most part, but Ed is strong, toned from hours of sparring and fighting. Working out to keep his body fit and ready. He's used to the way shorter people need to and usually do fight, effectively.]

Sure. I can't deny that much. Why I offered. Plus, you're short and fast. I know how short people fight, especially against people taller than you. Which tends to be the case about 99% of the time. At least, for me. We could meet at the park sometime?
microbrobotics: (forgot something?  [suit])

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-02 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He did see a little of Ed's musculature during the automail session and he can make assumptions based on the engineering ... but the height is important too. Small and fast. ]

Then yeah. Just tell me when.

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-02 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Alright then. We can sort out the details sometime as to just when and how often. It's just around here you'd be better to know how to defend yourself if anything does happen. There are some crazy guys running around, not to mention the Hornets and all.

[Though Hiro was more recently pulled in. He might not necessarily know about the Hornets? Or else someone probably told him.]
microbrobotics: (don't go)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-02 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nope, that's a new one. ]

Hornets? ... Are they the ones who kidnapped kids for a summer camp?

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I don't recall if we ever found out exactly who it was. But they were the ones that ran around with those power nulls around Halloween or so I think it was. Probably was them that kidnapped us at the camp though, wouldn't put it past them.
microbrobotics: (realization)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
... "Us"? Were you there?

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-02 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Was trying to keep Winry safe in all of it. Not to mention all the others too - the normal kids that weren't imPorts with powers to protect themselves. It was....pretty crazy.

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-03 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Long story. Basically a bunch of us that went to camp got kidnapped and they decided to test our powers by pitting us against these monsters and stuff. Had it on tele too. You'd have to ask someone else about what was going on outside of that and the rescue for details on all that, but yeah. It was....insane.
microbrobotics: (brotherly love)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-04 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ughhhh. His expression darkens, mouth going tight with anger. ]

What the hell ...

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-04 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Like I said. Freaking insane. But we got out eventually and I did my best to keep everyone safe when it was my turn in the arenas. Keep Winry safe.

[Winry especially. Ed knows he is protective of her, but he still can't reconcile the idea of her fighting. Doesn't want her to get to that point. She's always been his support and that's how he wants it to stay. He'll never admit how terrified and ill seeing her holding that gun at Scar made him feel. How relieved he was once he pried it from her hands.]
microbrobotics: (fire)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-04 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
Did you ever get the guys who did this to you?

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-05 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't recall. I know we had some guys bust us out to get us back home but I can't remember if they were actually caught or not. I was more focused on getting Winry and everyone else I could safely out of there at the time and all. Probably better to talk to one of the others that were involved in the rescue and all. But....hopefully we won't need to worry about that sort of thing happening again.
microbrobotics: (tested in fire)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-05 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
... We'll worry less if we can do something about it now.

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2015-02-05 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
True. I'd ask around - on the...more private line. [The mirror network, but he doesn't actually specify that. Not out here in public, at least.]

At least one person around is bound to know more about the rescue and aftermath than me. I'd help, but that's all I can offer myself since I was busy at the time, like I said.
microbrobotics: (sketchy)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-02-06 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Yeah, that. I'll reflect on it. [ Hilarious, Hiro. ]
