I'LL BE A TEENAGE IDOL JUST GIVE ME A BREAK
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
no subject
He doesn't look up when Tetsuo answers, taping up a finished portrait and laying down a dark base.]
I wonder...
[Black fills the canvas before he can finish, looking at it.]
Maybe I'll make this one as a surprise to you. I've got an idea.
[Stick around, Tetsuo, and you'll start to recognize it.]
So what'd you get? Need more money?
no subject
[This is the person you want managing money, clearly.]
I got...
[It's HIS turn to draw things out, spending time fishing around in his bag. There's a few prints in here, a myriad of buttons, some random sculptures, weird stuff. And a few extra things that he didn't buy. It's something to do beyond wondering what the hell Kaneda's starting to work on, at least. If he knows Kaneda, he'll get that cocky grin and no answer.]
Hangon. You gotta see this...
no subject
He never questioned Tetsuo's tastes. The boy had interests, and that was enough.
Kaneda only looks up when Tetsuo has that last little hangline, pausing on the orange and the red he's setting down as the base.]
See what?
no subject
[There's nothing too big that he could AFFORD with 100. All the huge stuff ran way more expensive than that. It was to no small frustration that he had to come to terms with that fact.... but it meant he got more time to wander around, buying anything that caught his slightest interest until he had no money left to get stuff.
Is this a lesson in money management? Nah. No such luck. Not at the moment, at least.
He finally pulls out what he wants, setting it down.
It's not a print, but an original watercolor and ink painting of a familiar Orange XII poised in a dynamic leap off of Universs Valley. Except... there's something strange about this First Fable fanart. The hair is black instead of white, with a red streak of flame that matches the stripe of red electricity running down from back to glowing tailtip. Instead of the blinding orange fur, it's a little darker, with weird red stripes around the knees. Almost like the colors on Kaneda's jacket... The forearm has a tattoo, as well - the Capsules logo is clearly displayed there instead of the weird tattoo, with a decent attempt at Kaneda's name in kanji instead of the harsh carved number into the hind leg. Someone did her homework here.
Far off in the distance, by a campfire are a few more of N5's members; Maya in Thunder's outfit, if not her hairstyle, Typho sprouting a pair of horns to match his ridiculously beefcake frame, which is now completely barechested instead of with those weird straps on it. The other figures are less clearly defined and only immediately identifiable by hair color and length.
From the look on Tetsuo's face,he finds this pretty hilarious.]
There's this girl doing First Fable shit with ImPorts instead! Check it!
[GET IT? YOU SEE WHY HE HAD TO GET THIS, KANEDA?!]
Looks like you're stuck being the komainu thing!
[It's not a lion, it's not a dog, so it has to be both. That is logic at its finest.]
no subject
No way, is that...Orange XII?
[Kaneda takes it in his fingertips for a moment with the utmost care, eyes scanning the image to see--wait. Something was certainly different about this piece of art. Either the artist had never seen the characters and whinged it, or she was drawing to get a specific image across. The black hair, the Capsule tattoo where the old one had been...the colours too close to the reds he wore on his own clothes.
No way. This artist had made him look like Orange XII, and...well, there's only one way that Tetsuo would have gotten it to look like that. In the background, the rest of N5 sits, all in Thunder's, Typhoes, Aero's colour schemes. Horns, hairstyles...
Kaneda's never shown childlike wonder out in the open like this, but it's clear from his face that he's ecstatic.]
That's me!
[Did he just sound like an 8 year old who just got an autograph? He sure did. Hell, even the Kanji is impressive, getting the right "kane", even.]
That's the one you named after me, right?
no subject
[That's not its name in the actual game, but it's easy to forget that in Tetsuo's eyes. Haha, Kaneda gets to be the animal thing! There's no deeper significance than a silly joke between the two of them that prompted him to buy this, but Kaneda's reaction makes it seem like there's more meaning than he'd thought.
He'd expected to get a laugh, at least, or keep it around to make fun of him. That joy went way above and beyond any expectation. Hell, maybe he'll let Kaneda have it if he likes it that much. It's not like Tetsuo had more attachment to it than it being exactly what he'd done in the game.
Look at that, though! It's their playthrough! On paper!!]
But it looks just like you! I can't tell the difference!
[Is that an insult or a compliment? Or both?]
no subject
[Clearly that's what's most important here, right? Because he's holding it up and looking at how COOL this is. It's like he's actually in the game instead of just a name on a character?
And Maya's Thunder, and Bull is Typho...
It's too hilarious to even hold in his laughter.]
He's lucky I came along--I'm an improvement!
no subject
[No one said he had to be nice about doing what could easily be considered nice deeds. Once it's in Kaneda's hands, it's pretty clear it's not leaving them easily.
It was Kaneda's money, anyway. He can have a bit of it back, whatever. This was well worth the price of wandering over to fetch it.]
no subject
That's the nicest thing you've said to me this week!
[With a little snicker, he hands out the picture he's been working on. The sky seems to give the air of a distant galaxy, with planets and shooting stars, streaks of light over the edge of the largest planet.
But down below...a city. One with familiar-like extensions protruding out from the center, water underneath. The buildings seem to keep rising up, almost to the point where they touch the planets themselves. Lights shine outwards from the city itself, into the heavens.
Something is very familiar about this city, right down to the little details.]
Here, we'll trade.
no subject
He takes the painting promised, noticing the overall themes with satisfaction first. Deep blues and purples trailing across black, flicked specs of white in the dark, streaks of lighter colors turning the sky into a kaleidoscope of deep space. There's something familiar to that, now, something he knows on a deeper level... like it's calling to him.
But as he inspects the city, that feeling of familiarity strikes him hard enough to elicit a slight gasp. The buildings have a familiar haze to them, lights stretching forever. Buildings on buildings, spanning into an endless expanse of glowing windows and grimy streets, crowded with smells, and sounds... and expansions across the bay to anchor it to the ruined mainland.
He knows this city. It's so familiar that the sight of it closes his throat a bit, mouth hanging half open in words that won't come.]
This is-
[He can't even bring himself to say its name. But he doesn't need to. Suddenly, handing over that art is a trade he'd make a hundred times.
While he was rooting around in his bag, Kaneda created Neo Tokyo.
But... better.]
no subject
[He leans on the stand, elbows resting as he watches Tetsuo take in the painting. It's the reaction he expected--and hoped--he'd have, honestly. Tetsuo never really could hide his emtoions well, and it's easy to see the sheer awe cast over his face. In some ways, it was nostalgic. It was like when he'd taken Tetsuo for a ride for the first time, letting the boy see the actual streets of Neo Tokyo for the first time. There's a certain beauty to it, if you squint, masking the corruption and crime.]
It's not perfect--I think I missed a few things. But it's hard to forget it sometimes. Even now.
...
[It's only then that he leans up again, pushing himself back up with his palms on the edge of the stand.]
Maybe Megalodon and Gojira need some scenery.
no subject
And that, Kaneda also illustrated perfectly, a thought that ends up winding up translating into mumbled, absentmindedly stated words not a second later.]
I think it's perfect...
[A conversation from a long time ago runs through his mind, young voices seriously debating whether or not an entire city could wash away. Once Kaneda suggests it, he can neither unhear or unsee it.
How long has it been since he thought about that exchange?
He has to picture his fishtank's setup for a moment. It almost, but not quite, covers every inch of the desk. There should be room to do what he thinks Kaneda's suggesting. Louder, he continues.]
Well, maybe that's not a bad idea. If you did leave out anything, that just means it's not in the 'ocean' yet.
[Does he have a new project? He does.]
