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

That tired old trick again... it's always lame food, too.
[He stares at a stand selling something called rasPerry Shrimp, alongside roasted Hazelnuts or Kageroux Gumbo. He knows 'shrimp'. What's the rest of that say?
This is the true source of his hatred for this oh so charming trend: the puns are all in English.
They even pass a tent with drinks featuring fun additions like Alerith Garden Brews (grand opening), featuring Amaranth, flower blends boasting Calendula, Elderflower, Lavender and Dianthus, alongside more established brands of Yayooibos Tea or, for the kids, Rikool Aid.
Unfortunately, since he's stubborn about learning to read English, most of this wit is long lost on him. 'Kanedaifuku' or 'Tetsuiro' he can at least get, although that doesn't look like uiro in the slightest. 'Kururhubarb' or 'Key Grimes Pie?' Not a chance.
Can't they JUST SAY WHAT THEY ARE?! It's hard enough to figure out what's edible without them mangling the names in a language he's only got half of a grasp on. Ughhh. At least that's what telepathy's good for, if he has to know.]
no subject
She'd ask if he wants help, but she already knows the type of person Tetsuo is, so she needs to handle this gently.
She reads off each menu item out loud, guessing what they might be and commenting on if they sound good or not. One by one, until-]
Alerith Garden Brews? Is that supposed to be me?
[She hadn't expected herself to be on anything yet!]
Can we do that?
no subject
Come, join the cynicism corner...]
We?
[He huffs a laugh. There's no humor to it at all, unless you count bitterly finding the dark irony to it all. If he needed any further confirmation she's one of them, he's got it here.]
Don't assume we get a say about any of this. They'll put anyone like us on if they can.
no subject
You're probably right. As long as it will sell...
[Of course, it's still flattering to have inspired something, even if it seems like it was done more for the pun than the drinks themselves, but...]
Honestly, I don't like any of this. I didn't ask to come here.
no subject
[And they'll put your friend/rival's face on EVERYTHING instead. There is no winning.]
Either way, you're here until they get bored of you. That's how it works.
no subject
I don't want to be used again.
no subject
Fuck it. He doesn't care enough to know. What matters is she understands this fundamental thing so many people are quick to forget - that's all America does with them. Their sole purpose, in the eyes of any public he's heard about...
Not digging doesn't mean he's not going to test this hunch. Either she's worth talking to, or he can ditch her right here and now.]
Lemme see your wrist.
no subject
She holds out her arm without hesitation.]
no subject
[He shades his own hand over it, dimming it from the lighting above to make it more legible. It's faint, but it clearly reads UNREGISTERED. He lets his hand drop with a satisfied nod.]
Looks like you figured that out already.
no subject
[She moves her bracelets back into place over the tattoo on her wrist.]
I don't need handouts from people who only want to use us as weapons.
no subject
Anyway, you got the right idea. They don't have to make it hard for people who don't wanna play along. You don't gotta fight, either, but like hell if America'll lift a damn finger to fight for you. What's on your wrist doesn't mean they'll give a shit.
no subject
[She can't mindlessly devote herself to a government that doesn't care about her. Zack did that and look where it got him. Even Cloud... And so far, Aerith hasn't had anyone tell her anything that makes these people sound any better than Shinra.]
no subject
no subject
no subject
It was a few months ago. See, Russia decided America's precious little weapon population needed to go away, so they took a bunch of 'em and ran. Hah, you should've seen it ... Like it's some huge disaster that Russia kidnaps people, but watch as everyone forgets America did it first. Rest of us had to go get the sorry assholes - they even came to beg my help to play rescuer. Since America wasn't gonna.
... and that invasion after... it took America days to realize they ran out of ImPorts to get their precious little 'weapons' back for them this time.
no subject
[She didn't even know what a Russian was until someone told her that much a few days after landing.]
So... What you're saying is, that Russia kidnapped a bunch of imPorts like us, and America didn't try to get them back? But isn't that what registration is all about? Don't we practically belong to them after that? Even with all of--
[She gestures around at the convention.]
--this?
no subject
Sure, they stamped ownership all over us - that means they can use us however the hell they want, right?! They already admitted it, didn't they? Why we're here?
[That pesky war thing. Speaking of.]
You wanna know what they did about all that?
[He pauses. But he's NOT done.]
They screwed off to bomb some city somewhere! That's your real use - it's not about YOU at all!
no subject
no subject
no subject
[That sounds suspiciously true.]
... I guess... It's not like we're from here... As far as they're concerned, we don't have families, or even lives back home.
[Otherwise they wouldn't be pulled here at all.]
no subject
no subject
no subject
[The dark, vicious satisfaction of using the truth is that no matter how it's used, it can't be refuted. It's true, and it has proof.]
no subject
Do you want to get some lunch with me?
[Because, honestly, where do you go from there? How is she even supposed to accept all of this at once? She needs to sit down.]
no subject
.........
Hnh.
I'm not paying.
