i can't remember to forget you

WHO: all imPorts!
WHERE: a large expanse of land that is kind of a parking lot in Heropa
WHEN: March 12th, 4PM onwards
WHAT: Time for the March Swear-In! this is gonna be full of fun and games and nothing going wrong at all, right? Nope. More ooc details can be found here
WARNINGS: none!

After the harrowing experience of the Perestroika Seminar last month, the government's decided that a nice, easy fun swear-in would be the best for everybody. Time to relax and recover from the harrowing events of February with a fair! The temperature's a bit brisk but the grand thing about Florida weather is that a brisk Florida March is still a warmer than average March compared to the rest of the nation: perfect fairground weather.

4PM - 6:30PM: ALL THE RIDES
The carnival has stereotypical fairground rides: ferris wheels, carousels, the gravitron, fairground swings, a tilt a whirl, everything that you know and love. This isn't Six Flags so there aren't any large roller coasters or water rides, but if it can be assembled and moved around via a large truck, expect it to be here. In true carnival fashion, the rides are staffed by twenty-somethings who desperately don't want to be there. Also in true carnival fashion, the safety of some of the rides is....slightly dubious at best. Be careful of a few spots of vomit outside some of the faster rides: some of your fellow imPorts don't take motion sickness very well.

All rides do have height requirements. Sorry tiny imPorts, have you tried the kiddie train or the smaller ferris wheel?

4PM - 6:30PM: FAIRGROUND STALLS
Some booths have fairground food. There's the staples: corn dogs, candy apples, funnel cake, lemonade, and so on. There's a scary amount of deep fried food, ranging from the sensible (pickles and oreos) to the downright disturbing (how can someone deep fry pizza?!) Some of the vendors have gotten in on the imPort craze by naming their fair food after imPorts themselves: have a nice cool Jinseok Jin-ger Ale. What about a Cindy Moon Pie? A Kaiden Alenkronut? April Ludgateorade? If a bad pun can be made of the fair food name, then somebody's selling it.

Other booths have traditional fairground games: toss darts at balloons, test your strength, skee ball, and so on. The games are all a bit rigged and all a bit overpriced, but that's part of the fun! Win yourself or that special someone a goldfish, an inflatable sword, or an overly large stuffed animal. The barkers running the games are keeping a strict eye out for imPorts using their powers...but they're only human, after all. Try and use that super-strength when nobody's looking!

6:30 PM - END: MEMORY LOSS
After the sun's set and the fairground is lit up by lights, annoyance strikes. Off to the side of one of the food stalls, there's a small explosion, producing a lot of smoke that quickly travels throughout the fairground, but not much else. The problem is, as the smoke clears, imPorts may find that their memory isn't up to snuff. Some people don't remember how they got here. Some people don't remember that they have superpowers to begin with. Some people still have all their memories. There's no pattern as to why some people have all their memories while some have lost theirs,

The fairground only stays up for about half an hour more before officials start to close everything down and hurry everyone home. After all, some of the imPorts don't remember how to use their powers. Besides, they need to figure out what caused the memory loss in the first place: could it be another Soviet attack?!?

(spoilers, no, it's just an incompetent old man with broken technology. Whoops.)

Is it cause I hesitated?

[Okay, he's gonna think of something else equally weird.]

That was the truth, though. Okay... there's a guy who's made of burlap, and his insides are just a million bugs.
iamtetsuo: (What was that?)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-03 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
That shit's not real!

[IT BETTER NOT BE REAL THAT'S THE KIND OF THING HE STRUGGLES WITH SOMETIMES]
resipiscent: (i don't think so)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-03 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Pipe down.]

Man, I'm not that creative.
Edited 2016-05-03 02:01 (UTC)
iamtetsuo: (Mutter grumble)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-03 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't matter!
resipiscent: (uhh...)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-03 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
...

[that answer makes no sense]

Okay, but I'm not as clever as to be able to make that up.
iamtetsuo: (You lookin at me?)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-03 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[It does if you live in Tetsuo's head for more than five minutes. Unfortunately, he's not exactly always sane outside of it.

He stops short to give Riku a measuring stare.]


You messing with me?
resipiscent: (melancholy so please tell me you're joki)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-03 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Riku looks back at him for a moment, still a little confused. His reply is adamant, though.]

No.
iamtetsuo: (No)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-03 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
There's a guy out there who's just a sack of insects?!
resipiscent: (?? o hay)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
If it makes it easier to believe, apparently nobody else from the world he came from is human either. They're all skeletons and ghosts and stuff.

[Riku doesn't need to go there to know. The only time he saw Halloween Town was in Castle Oblivion, after all, and there weren't people there. But Sora's been there, so that's all he needs.]
iamtetsuo: (Mutter grumble)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-03 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
...

[U M.]

So ... this guy of yours is a corpse?

[He's trying ok]
resipiscent: (check out my specs bro)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-03 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I think he's supposed to be some kind of boogieman. I don't know, I didn't spend a whole lot of time around him. Kind of had other stuff to do.
iamtetsuo: (100% done with this)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-04 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You went to Hell and decided you had better things to do?
resipiscent: (uhh...)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-04 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't go there. There was this lady I worked for for a while, and she'd called a bunch of assholes from other worlds to come help her. He was one of them.
iamtetsuo: (I'm listening...)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-11 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
So she summoned stuff from hell?
resipiscent: (check out my specs bro)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-12 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Uh -- just the one guy.

No, wait... I think Hades could count too...? Is the Underworld considered hell...?

[Hmmm. He seems to be completely lost in thought at that question.]
iamtetsuo: (No)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-13 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tetsuo's expression goes from skeptical to downright unamused.]

If you're gonna make up death lands, pick one and stick with it.
resipiscent: (pfft)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-14 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, bud, he's totally serious.]

The Underworld is the death land. Halloween Town is just... weird.

[He's only ever been to the facsimile of it in Castle Oblivion, honestly. But that's enough for him to tell.]
iamtetsuo: (:/)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-14 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Halloween Town...?

[Wait no, that's not the point.]

You said it had ghosts and shit! That's a death land!
resipiscent: (i don't think so)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-14 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's not entirely ghosts, though, it just... it's supposed to be like Halloween. So you know, you have... ghosts and skeletons and pumpkins. And bugs. Creepy dolls. That kind of stuff.
iamtetsuo: (You lookin at me?)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-14 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Please enjoy the feeling of absolute skepticism. There's no words. No, he doesn't know, no, he doesn't buy this, and yes, he's judging you.]
resipiscent: (no comment)

1/2

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-14 03:35 am (UTC)(link)

resipiscent: (omg fine)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-14 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I know what I sound like, okay.
iamtetsuo: (pouting intensifies)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-14 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't make up shit if you don't wanna talk.
resipiscent: (uhh...)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2016-05-15 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
The sad part is is that I'm not. Pick my brain if you like, I know you can do it.

[For real, though. If he's skeptical, Riku's willing to share. But that sounds like it'd be a hassle... just to find out about Maleficent's shitty crew.]

They don't really matter, anyway. We were all there because Maleficent called us.

[Well, more like dropped into her lap for Riku, but still.]
iamtetsuo: icon by rc (Yeah right)

[personal profile] iamtetsuo 2016-05-18 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay. He will. Tetsuo's eyes focus on that guy, then drift closed. Just enough to take one breath in, listen. He can hear the guy talking out loud, but also...

That guy asked for this.]


Who?

[Keep talking, give him an easy way to find him...]
