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!]

[Armin slides onto a seat far off from the crowd and noise. By now he's gone quiet and serious, no further hint of tears.] Do you happen to have psychic or magical abilities that might cause someone else to see the things you've seen? Because when you ran into me just now, I think I felt a shock. And then it was like I was living someone else's life. My guess would be that it was yours.

[ At least none that he knows of. ]

...Then something's happened that I can't explain. [Armin is speaking very calmly now, though the worry still lingers in his voice. He worries a loose thread on his sleeve, brow furrowed, before forcing himself to make eye contact.] I saw Tadashi, I experienced some sort of living memory of the day he died. There was a fire.

I'm sorry.

Not that it happened - well, I mean, of course I am, but in my experience when you lose someone, especially when it's sudden, or seems senseless, it doesn't matter what someone else thinks about it.

I'm sorry for what I saw, though. As far as I know, it's no power of mine either.
