I'LL BE A TEENAGE IDOL JUST GIVE ME A BREAK

WHO: ImPorts!
WHERE: Heropa's Convention Centre.
WHEN: April 14-16, from 9 AM - 12 AM every day.
WHAT: Registration is in motion alongside FanPort, the most popular imPort convention around! Come on in and see imPort-led panels, the artist's alley, cosplayers, and more! If you have any questions, or wish to amend the way we have written up your characters' panels, let us know here!
WARNINGS: None anticipated; please let us know if this should be changed.



Welcome, imPorts, to the one and only FanPort! As they're driven outside of the convention center, they'll see line-ups leading well out the doors filled with those dressed normally and cosplayers alike, complete with plenty of scalpers just outside of the doors. As guests of honour, imPorts get to skip past all the busy lines and are ushered into the Convention Centre through the back doors, only to be greeted with a veritable swarm of people. The quiet room being used for the Swear-In aside, this venue is absolutely packed, and filled to the brim with enthusiasm. Venture in a little further, imPorts, and see what awaits you...

A R T I S T ' S A L L E Y

The Artist's Alley is a bustling place, filled with creative minds of all sorts. It's easy to find tasteful - and not-so-tasteful - prints of imPorts to hang on the wall from everything to Power Girl leaping heroically into the air to Dorian Gray with his back turned and a sultry expression on his face. Of course, Artist's Alley isn't restricted to mere drawings: it's easy to find piles of plushies and keychains, buttons, T-shirts, and other types of exciting merchandise!

Want to simulate the mind as well as the eye? Look no further than the piles of doujinshi ready for the taking. Most tables are dominated by interactions that are seen as at least somewhat legitimate - such as Shepenko, Geiszlieb, and Pricefield - but there are tables in the back who crow about rarepairs like Laurie/Maya, Olivier/Kang, Gansey/Manolo and more! There's plenty of creativity on display, but be careful: as long as all involved parties are of age, there may be a scene a touch steamier than expected!

If you don't see what you want being sold already, there are plenty of commissioners who would leap at the chance to provide an imPort with a custom print or doll, just for them!

C O S P L A Y C O N T E S T

It's not a true convention without cosplayers, and for this event, the cosplayers come out in droves. There are those who have clearly raided their closet for ideas - claiming that they're the more ordinary looking imPorts like Jesse Pinkman or Alison Hendrix - but others have delighted in the challenge that the stranger imPorts have presented to them. Non-humans such as Kanaya Maryam and Marceline Abadeer are common for those who want to flex their make-up skills, but otherwise, heroes with identifiable costumes or who commonly wear period dress are popular choices.

And what of imPorts who want to join in? There are only two rules: imPorts may not enter as themselves, nor are they allowed to use shapeshifting powers. Other than that, they're welcome to join in on the competitions and the festivities! There are awards being given for everything from Best Performer to Best Costume to Most Accurate Posing, so jump in, and enjoy!

I M P O R T H A L L

Aside from the panels, this is where imports are welcomed as special guests! Above the entire affair is a huge sign that reads, cheerfully: "WELCOME IMPORTS!". Here, imPorts are welcomed to set up their own booths to sell their goods, autographs, and pictures, advertise their businesses, or to simply meet some of their fans! Security is tightest around this area, but only for the safety of imPorts; if any fans get a little too touchy-feely without the imPort's consent, rest assured, they'll be hauled out in short notice.

This is also the place where willing and participating imPorts are showered with special gifts featuring everything from fanmade scrapbooks of their public exploits and fanart, home baked goods, or samples from all sorts of corporate representatives eager to have imPorts represent everything from their clothing and perfume lines to their hemorrhoid creams.

R E F R E S H M E N T S

After all this fuss and bluster, it's time to get some refreshments. Just outside the venue, a series of imPort-inspired food tracks and stalls have set up shop, and are ready for your business! Want cotton candy in the shape of Qubit's hair? How about spooky, squid ink Scarecrow pasta? Dipper Dots icecream with a side of Mabel Mint Crisps? Some Minato Aritacos? Whatever your fancy, this is your place to find all the food you could ask for and more, complete with discounts if you're willing to show off that fancy imPort tattoo to prove that you're not just an exceptionally good cosplayer.

B A L L P I T

Even imPorts need a break from all this attention, which is where the ballpit comes in. It looks like they may have run out of funding when they planned this one... but hey, only imPorts are allowed in the ballpit room, and surely they'll be able to entertain themselves.

R A V E

As the convention begins to wind down in the evenings, other people are just getting started! The grand hall is opened up to various imPort inspired acts, including but not limited to the acts described in the last Majority Report, including new acts such as the A-T-inspired Roller Blade Bunnies, the Kid Flash-inspired All I See Is Yellow, and the Jinseok Jin-inspired Blissful Beauties. All of these shows are complete with light shows and complimentary glow sticks, and once the clock hits past 9 PM, a bar opens up in the back for natives and imPorts alike, provided that they're of-age -- and yes, they will be checking their IDs!

Want to get your rock on? These acts will gracefully step aside to allow imPort musicians to take the stage, but will respond even more happily to jam sessions.

P A N E L S

PLEASE STOP MESSING UP THE TIMESTREAM

What happens when imPorts bring in their own technology to a world unprepared for it? What happens when they try traveling in time? How does this adversely affect the world around them, and how can you help stop it? Find out here, as an old man yells at an audience that's mostly excited to see an imPort in-person. Starring imPort guest: The Doctor.

LEAVE ME ALONE & DON'T TOUCH MY LUGGAGE

A short, five-minute panel in which con-goers can get the necessary information about that odd trunk with feet they've seen scurrying around. This necessary information includes: 1) leave its owner, Rincewind alone, and 2) do not touch the luggage, complete with stacks of informative pamphlets. Brevity is the soul of wit, right? Starring imPort guest: Rincewind the Wizzard.

THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF BEING NON-HUMAN IN A VERY HUMAN WORLD

Join some of America's non-human imPorts in discussing the trials they face on a daily basis, and why they have decided to create SELF, an organization built to help them! While this is no doubt scintillating stuff, new members and businesses that may wish to invest are welcome. Starring imPort guests: Kang, Sabriel, and more!

MAGIC: NOT JUST FOR YOUR KID'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

Curious about magic? Tune in here for a discussion of the ins and outs of magic, differences across worlds, and what it's used for! Not interested in all that nerdy crap? Make sure to arrive for the second half of their presentation for a real life demonstration of magic! (FanPort does not take responsibility for any injuries or loss of property that may occur during this demonstration). Starring imPort guests: Sabriel, Elsa Brandt, L'Arachel, and more!

RISEING ABOVE: CHALLENGES AND TRIUMPHS IN IMPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT What we should really be talking about this convention is ethics in imPorts, and what better way to start than with America's very own law enforcement organization, RISE? Find discussion on the ethics of superpowers, dangerous imPorts, and how differently imPorts from other worlds and cultures view this world's legal system. Get out your pens and paper, because there's sure to be plenty of college students writing about this as a practical assignment! Starring imPort guests: Sabriel and RISE.
BEYOND MEDICINE: IMPORT HEALING TECHNIQUES Interested in imPort healing techniques? Have some sort of nasty injury or illness that native medicine just can't fix? If you're willing to sign a waiver, this is your chance to get it cured, thanks to the saint-like generosity of charitable imPorts. Just be warned that those suffering from deadly conditions will take priority! Starring imPort guest: Jesse Pinkman.
STAYING FIT WITH YOUR DOG Think something as mundane as workout routines with man's best friend is too mundane for this convention? Think again! A real expert on exercise is here to teach you and your pooch how to stay fit with both indoor and outdoor activities, complete with a Q&A, a photo-op, and doggie demonstrations. If you're not interested, that's fine; stay for the cute dogs... or for their handsome owners. Hubba, hubba! Starring imPort guest: Commander Shepard.
A SALUTE TO THE SUPERSUIT! Who says that you can't fight crime and look stylish at the same time? ImPorts are here to discuss the dos and don'ts of supersuit fashion, showcasing the most cutting-edge suits that natives no doubt see on the news every day, and tips for all con-goers and, needless to say, extremely invested cosplayers. If other imPorts are interested in sharing, they are welcome to do so! Starring imPort guests: Echidna and Wallflower.
DENDARII SECURITY CORPS This panel is what it says on the title: a prolonged advertisement for the Dendarii Security Corps. Don't worry, though, there will likely be tales of dashing adventure, and maybe you'll even discover how the heck to pronounce Dendarii in the first place! Starring imPort guests: Miles Vorkosigan, Gregor Vorbarra, and Tex.
IS THAT A DRAGON IN MY GARDEN? All these sentient imPorts hobbling around are all well and good, but aren't you interested in what exists on other worlds? If that's the case, this panel is for you! Listen as imPorts discuss fantastic creatures, robots, aliens, and super smart dogs that just don't exist naturally in this world, and enviously follow along to the various stories those with far, far more exciting lives than you have to tell! Starring imPort guests: Hawke and The Doctor.
PHOTO-OP WITH THE BULL He's huge, he has arms, and he's got pecs to die for. What more could you want in a man? Take a photo with the Iron Bull today in his specialty booth for a small fee... and even attack him with a plastic sword if you dare. Starring imPort guest: The Iron Bull, of course!
SURVIVING UNDER FIRE: THE MILITARY APPROACH TO FIRST-AID Even conventions need to touch on serious issues sometimes. In the wake of so much violence, your charitable neighbourhood imPorts are here to show you how to conduct first-aid in tight situations, something that's doubtlessly useful to each and every imPort fan in the audience. Starring imPort guests: Kaidan Alenko and Commander Shepard.
BIOTICS 101: EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SPACE MAGIC What the heck is up with those glowy blue powers from space? Join your imPort guests for a brief lecture on what biotic powers do, how they work, and what it takes to keep a biotic going. Provided is a table of food as a demonstration of just how much they eat, and more entertainingly, live demonstrations of what they can really do! Starring imPort guests: Commander Shepard, Jacob Taylor, Kaidan Alenko, and Samara.
IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL: ADOPT AN ANIMAL OR SUFFER CRIPPLING GUILT Have you noticed a large amount of imPorts walking around with cuddly furry, feathered, or scaled pets? That's for a reason! Join us today in a panel about the animal shelter, and the dos and don'ts of adopting an animal today! Starring imPort guest: Carl.
MAGNETS AND MOTORBIKES You see that panel above about how not to introduce technology outside of this timeframe? Ignore it! Look at cool bikes instead! Join imPorts in a practical discussion of building motorcycles, magnetic technology, and take a look at their cutting edge technology. Note: All racing that goes on outside of FanPort is not affiliated with this organization, nor is it condoned by it, and they are not responsible for any injuries incurred in outside demonstrations. Starring imPort guest: Gogo Tomago.
BUILDING THE FUTURE WITH IMPORT TECHNOLOGY Continuing the trend of bringing imPort technology to the forefront, come and watch this panel for a spirited discussion of imPort technologies, and how it will pave the way to the future and a brighter tomorrow! Want to know what it can do for you? Step right up, and take a look. Starring imPort guest: Tony Stark.
IMPORTS AND REGISTRATION: A CONTROL MODEL THAT SPANS WORLDS Join your friendly imPorts in discussing Registration, and how this has been used - effectively, even! - in other worlds! Take a look at how it's used for the safety of everyone involved, as told by one of America's greatest success stories. How could Tony Stark ever be wrong? Starring imPort guest: Tony Stark.
IMPORTS AND THE LAW: AN EVERCHANGING LANDSCAPE Want something with a lot of pizzaz, with a ton to look at, and plenty to interact with? Go to some other panel! If you're interested in law, and the ramifications of the ever-evolving state of the law in light of changing politics and the shifting population of imPorts, however, this is the panel for you, in as much detail as anyone could possibly ask for. Starring imPort guest: Mitchell Hundred.
Q&A WITH THE AMBASSADOR(S)

Ever wonder what it's really like being the Ambassador of an imPort city? Whether you want to know what colour tie the ambassador in question likes wearing, want to know more about due process, or just want to get a juicy scoop, step right up to where at least one Ambassador is ready to answer your questions! Starring imPort guest: Mitchell Hundred.

WALK WALK FASHION BABY

Do you want to get fashion tips from a preteen? Do you believe that they know what you should be wearing better than you? Well, you're in luck, because imPort kids are the best dressed around! Follow our imPort guests into a world of fashion from clothing to hairstyles to tasteful cosmetics! Starring imPort guests: Pacifica Northwest and Ken Amada.

CHUCKY KENTUCKY WORLD PREMIERE

Everyone welcome the premiere of America's newest teen pop sensation: Chucky Kentucky! ImPort fans have been abuzz since this event was announced, speculating on everything from his doubtlessly fashionable clothes to the dulcet tones of the voice they're bound to hear. Come see his premiere for yourself -- but come early, because there will surely be a line-up out the door! Starring imPort guests: Edward Elric AKA Chucky Kentucky, Winry Rockbell and Roy Mustang.

AIR TREK: THE COOLEST TECH AROUND

So, what's with those rollerblades you see around town? Find out here as imPorts do a live demonstration of what A-T is really capable of! If you want to watch some cool tricks and see the extent of the athleticism-on-wheels that imPorts are capable of, here's the place! Starring imPort guests: Yayoi Nakayama, Kururu Sumeragi, Ikki Minami, and Mikura Kazuma

LAWYER AT LARGE: IMPORTS' IMPACT, INVOLVEMENT, AND INFLUENCE ON TV & MEDIA

Want to discuss all imPort-driven media? Well... this probably isn't the place for you. If you wish to discuss Jeff Winger's TV show, however, and learn a thing or two about his firm, this is the place for you! While this is mostly Q&A, don't worry; maybe Jeff will even divulge a secret or two about his killer work-out routine. Starring imPort guest: Jeff Winger.

WELSH KINGS, LEY LINES, AND THE NEW WORLD

Calling all history buffs! One of your friendly imPorts is here to teach you about natural magic and the supernatural, including all sorts of spooky splendors like ghosts, mythical Kings, and how the supernatural fits into World History. While it may be more informative than it is strictly entertaining, it's bound to be a treat for inquiring minds. Starring imPort guest: Gansey

SCREAM QUEENS SECRET PANEL

This secret panel is... wait a second. This panel isn't secret at all! Using the glories of false advertising, imPorts take the stage to announce a benefit concert to be held within the next month. Ask your imPort entertainers questions about what it's really like to be them and listen to a song or two, but if it's a concert you want, you'll be disappointed... unless you stay for the real deal for their next panel! Starring imPort guests: Marceline and Maya Fey.

SCREAM QUEENS CONCERT

Now this is where the party's really at! Join one of your rocking-est - FanPort's description, not her own! - vampire superstar in a performance ready to bring the house down. And hey, if you want to shell out some cash for some merch and support your local artists, that's certainly a plus. Starring imPort guest: Marceline.

RELIGION: HOW TO JUSTIFY YOUR FAITH IN A WORLD WHERE THE DEVIL EXISTS

Whoa. Things are getting heavy around here as one very special imPort takes the stage to talk about the influence of the devil, dispel common myths about his possession of equine features, and a meditation on what Lucifer means to the common man. Starring imPort guest: Lucifer.

KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE WITH THE PINK PRINCESS! TV SHOW TODAY!

A Q&A panel featuring The Pink Princess herself, expect droves of the kids the show is directed at, and yes, plenty of adult fans to flock to this panel in droves! Gain hints as to what the Pink Princess is going to be up to next, and look at some awfully familiar silhouettes for future partners and villains... but of course, everyone's here for one reason, and that's the cute-as-a-button leading lady. Starring imPort guest: Maya Fey

FINE. HE WILL TRY.

try is the word here, because you can bet Kaneki's movements are really awkward, but he does try to follow the rhythm. Congrats Josuke, he is dancing. Sorta. ]

[Not suspicious, just trying to help him since Mikleo seems so flustered. But it's hopefully something of a distraction.]

I guess it's not that different from the murals and statues we find back home in ruins and the castle though? When you think about it. Or there are books back home and art there too. I guess the people here just really like us?

[He'll maybe ask about the book again later, but not right now. Even then he's still oblivious as to why Mikleo's so worked up and paranoid as he scans some of the art, pointing out some of friends.]

[ Usually he'd argue back at being called a kid, but.. no, that's not the most important matter here. The yaoi right over there is - unfortunately - still on his mind, and at least someone has to pay for that. ]

How would you explain this then?!

[ Wildly.. gesturing in the direction of the comics. It's a small miracle that he isn't accidentally knocking everything off the table, the only thing that could make this situation worse at this point. ]

[Such resolve!

And coupled with Dorian's obedience, Yuri finds himself...reluctantly impressed. As the young lady with Dorian's phone takes a moment to send herself the photo she took (just one of the many, she's playing nice after all, and leaving the rest for Dorian to do with what he desires) his demeanor shifts from warning to something a little more at ease.

The fire in his palm vanishes. And after a moment, after the young seller hands back Dorian's phone and sets to work digging out the second copy of the doujin he wanted, Yuri slips off his mask.]


I'm surprised. What possessed you to do as I asked?
insinerate: (073)

...how do you have an icon for this ksdfjashg so perfect

[personal profile] insinerate 2016-04-26 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Perfectly convenient.

[And that's the truth, though it would seem Toby's presence isn't as much of a deterrent as Yuri had hoped. Having fans follow them is a problem, but now that he's no longer cornered by a mob of them and he has freed up at least one of his hands, he may have just the solution.

Unfastening his mask and pulling it free, Yuri tosses it back into the small crowd flocking after them. The high-pitched shrieking that follows as they all swarm to grab the memento like guests scrambling after a bouquet is surreal, but that gives both Yuri and Toby the time they need to make a swift escape from their line of sight.]


I owe you an apology for so suddenly drawing you into this, but you've my gratitude for your assistance, Tobias.
insinerate: (094)

sounds like a party tbh

It's strange. Back home, this was the sort of absurdity that attached itself to Sternbild's Heroes, never to me.

[Has he fallen so far that he's become a joke like the rest of them? What a troubling thought.]

Though I suppose you're right, it could be far worse. Despite such attention being undesired...it's ultimately harmless.

[Idly, he reaches over to flip open the booklet, frowning as he leafs through its pages. Was this really how the people saw him? How they saw him and Will? It was grotesque in its domestication and romanticizing of their violent pasts.]

[ and petting is what Koromaru shall receive because during this time in this world, kaneki found that he was a dog person. ]

Tiring, too. A bit weird at times. [ like the artist alley. or when he met the "Kennibals" ] But nice, anyway.

Did you meet many fans?

[Qubit's not really attending the panels - he is, as usual, helping out with security, and for an event this huge that's demanding most of his attention even without anything going horribly wrong. But he does step in for a few minutes to a fair number of them, especially those run by people he likes, just to see what's up. So partway through Kanaya's panel, he'll just quietly come in and stand around in the back, leaning against a wall with his arms folded.

He is, of course, dressed the same way as always. Though he did wear a tie today, if that counts for anything. (The tie is also green.)]

If I'm going to cause a scene, I'd rather it be with someone I already loathe in a more public venue. It gets more attention that way.

[ That's how he's spinning it, at least. He's not going to cause a scene because Dorian likes people paying attention to him, and causing a scene in front of a booth gets less attention than causing a scene in a main exhibit hall. Narcissism at it's finest. ]

And before you ask, I don't loathe you. At the moment, it's more akin to toleration.

"It's interesting, isn't it?" Mitch asked, his voice much more pleasant when he wasn't the subject. Unless it was a speech before his speech, or the media -- which he couldn't really control -- Mitchell preferred to craft the narrative. He didn't like someone else doing it for them. Who knew, when they would say something they weren't supposed to?

"You can thank the Greeks, they kind of started it," he grinned, even so. "Nobody's ever tried anything different? Overthrowing anyone and establishing democracy?" no, that wasn't fair. "I mean, you have a council, so... it's not much of a chance, but it's something, right?"
viced: (Look at this fuckin cutie)

[personal profile] viced 2016-04-26 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...

[ He grinned, ruefully. ] De Chima's atmosphere has been largely positive because we worked so hard to make it that way. I try to prevent things from happening, like they do in Heropa or Maurtia Falls. [ He shook his head. ] But I think our public opinion has gone up, since we fought against the Russian insurgency.

[ Sometimes, Mitchell thought about how weird his life was. About how weird it had become since he'd shown up in this world.

It was wild.
]

I don't think anyone really thinks we want Russia here, after the kidnappings, and everything else. The one good thing Russia did was it took us away against our will, and we rushed after our friends.

Which means it's pretty obvious we don't want to go with them.
viced: (Don't you get it?)

[personal profile] viced 2016-04-26 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a Weird one. I mean, I'm used to fame --

[ He ran a hand through his hair. ]

I used to have messageboards of people calling me an alien, or a government experiment, or that I was out to control their kids through their fillings... You know, normal shit that people say about politicians.

I never thought it would get to be like going to comic con for politicians.

liverletdie: (Wry)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2016-04-26 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It could be eerie, he'd been told. The difference in height, the changes in eye color, the deeper voice, the way he didn't just -- interject -- that one threw people for a loop. This was like Tony Stark's older, more serious brother, maybe.

Or maybe just older and wiser. It was hard to tell.
]

Of course I do. [ A laugh. ] But, that just means I don't need to talk about me as much. Why don't you tell me what you do -- here or back home. I know they give all of us jobs, to start out, but they're normally ill-fitting.
liverletdie: (Oh is it beard day again?)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2016-04-26 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm --

[ He looked around the room, a show, even though he had the entire place memorized in his head. There was a quirk of his lips. ]

Did you know they make comic books about us? I thought it was pretty funny.
liverletdie: (Questions of morality)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2016-04-26 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no --

[ He grinned, and fished out a twenty, before he gave it to the attendant, who then promptly flushed and stumbled over pulling out one of the prints, signing it -- including her number -- before handing it over, red faced.

He grinned.
] Thanks, beautiful.

Now, Charles, what's going on? Having a good time today?
kanadian: (Butt shot)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-04-26 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We, ah -- Shepard was always pretty prolific -- did you know they made a VI of him?

[ that one was pretty weird. ]

But he's the first human Spectre, that's like... James Bond? Do they have that here? Anyway, most people are just...soldiers. We're faces in the line. It's weird getting this kind of attention for us too. I don't know if I enlisted for this.

[ Kaidan, of course, was the second human spectre and made his contributions and fame to be less than it actually was.

He put his head in the sand about most of it.
]
kanadian: (Incorruptible)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-04-26 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kaidan was a military man. he was a military man who was used to fighting biotics -- and now Reapers. He side-stepped quickly, an impromptu dodge that left him rolling to the side on the ground before he stood again, and approached a little slower. On his face wasn't that patient "teacher expression" he'd been wearing for the past thirty minutes or so.

No, now he just looked plain worried.

He knew what that felt like. Kaidan's weakness was his heart. Oh, he could set it aside on the battlefield, but this wasn't the battlefield. This was a demonstration and Tetsuo, who was just a confused kid with anger problems. Kaidan honestly felt bad for him, and the strain on his face was a familiar look.

He'd seen that, before, after all. He'd worn it enough, and gritted his teeth through plenty of piercing migraines. But that shouldn't mean Tetsuo should have to. Kaidan had chosen his life in the military, after all.
