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
"I already have my gods," Nicolas replied, turning to eye Lucifer warily. He was tense under the hand, but not willing to do more than stand stiffly and glower. "And unlike yours, they're fairly chatty."
Provided one went far enough into the Deep Umbra, sure...
no subject
He hummed, dropping his other hand into his pocket, and he swung Nicolas around, sort of, right into the path of eager people with cameras, who were documenting their experience in photographs. Nicolas would certainly make some sort of magazine insert, looking as grumpy as he did.
"Now, how's your experience been of this event so far? I know it's not quite the Russian hospitality you're used to, but..."
no subject
"Ah..." Oops. He breathed out a sigh. "Well, it wasn't so bad until a minute ago."
no subject
"It's nothing personal, obviously. Last time we were in the same building together I murdered a friend of yours, and don't get me wrong, but people have a way of holding that kind of thing against me.
"Am I right?"
no subject
"It's almost as if people don't like their friends getting killed," he said as he turned to face Lucifer properly, stuffing the pamphlet in a pocket as he did. "But she asked you to. Why? Why you?"
no subject
He slid another step away, but only so that he had time to fly away if he needed the extra second to do it. There was something about talking about killing people's friends that warranted a little extra wariness.
"She needed someone who would seem convincing. But more importantly than that, she needed someone who she knew could handle what happened afterwards, when the Soviets turned their anger on him. Her choice protected you from that."
no subject
Nicolas stood still a moment, where he'd been before, but Lucifer backing up hadn't gone unnoticed. He was being careful, but it wasn't something to mistake for fear. Even so, after Lucifer took that extra step back, Nicolas moved an entire step closer, following.
"It would have mattered less to throw me to them," or so Nicolas liked to assume. "What about you? Aren't you holding a grudge?"
no subject
He narrowed his eyes pointedly, thereafter, and made his case.
"And how many of your friends have you tortured and killed, Nicolas? Looked into their eyes, while you cut into their hearts? Something you do often?"
no subject
But it would be a lie to claim the following question didn't get a rise out of him. Now, with the ever watchful crowd mostly dispersed, he would bare his teeth at Lucifer, nose wrinkled to go along with the snarl.
"No, but I'm not a coward. I would do what I had to do." Deep down, he knew better. He'd never be able to, he would just run away again, but it wasn't something to admit here. "But what you did was more than was needed. We all know it."
no subject
He studied Nicolas intently, as he lied - not to Lucifer, but to himself - and then gave the slightest shrug.
"I did more than was needed," he admitted. "I mean, I'm not a hero, Nicolas. I was asked to something that would get me - has gotten me - in quite the shedload of trouble; do you really think I'm not going to take something out of it myself in the process? Kitty knew that--that's why she and I are still, remarkably, on good terms despite all of this.
"She knew what she was letting herself in for, and some part of you must come to accept that, before you make more trouble for yourself. Or for her."
no subject
"On good terms?" That was the part that got him to back down a step of his own, if only from the surprise. Kitty, on good terms? With someone who'd tortured and killed her? "But that's crazy. You're the literal devil. How could anyone be on good terms with you?"
That was akin to being on good terms with an aspect of the Wyrm. Something god-like but terrible, dangerous, wholly corrupt.
no subject
"Yes. How could someone who's been tortured and killed by me ever be on good terms with me--I am the Devil, and Kitty is so innocent. But she is, as I'm sure you've had to acknowledge yourself, shrewd, and wise beyond her age.
"The thing is, Nicolas, I've tortured a lot of souls, almost since the very beginning, and they have a way of coming to love me even so. Oftentimes, I think they recognize my darkness in themselves. It's comforting. I couldn't possibly say whether or not that's the thing Kitty's drawn to with me, but you never know."
no subject
"Then they're confused. Everyone's darkness should be their own, not yours. Either you fooled them or corrupted them, though seeing who you are, neither of those would be very surprising."
He wouldn't comment on what exactly he considered Kitty to be. Young, sure, but he had hoped her to be less naive. Perhaps that had been where she'd made her mistake in the first place, back at the resort, in trusting someone like this, in going off on her own, no back-up, no warning.
no subject
You know, Cain had an awful lot of kids.
He angled his head, bending inward. "But if you're accusing me of corrupting Kitty, I'd have to tell you that you're barking up the wrong tree. She's a demon in sheep's clothing absolutely without my help, and if you've fallen for the cute and fluffy routine, you should worry about yourself. You're not seeing reality the way it really is."
no subject
At that point, he made a waving gesture, as if dismissing the topic altogether. He hadn't even meant for this to become a confrontation and without the freedom to turn it into a real one, Nicolas decided it was time to escape back to the rest of the convention.
"But I've taken up enough of your time. I'm sure you have all your adoring fans to get back to."
no subject
He gives an equal little wave, and doesn't even acknowledge that the conversation is over beyond that but to turn back to one of those fans, smiling and stepping up to their shoulder so that they could take the selfie they wanted with him. Back to business.
