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

[maskormods]

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

Starring imPort guests: Miles Vorkosigan, Gregor Vorbarra, and Tex.

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

► 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!

Starring imPort guest: Maya Fey

Comments

Lucifer | Registered | OTA

[angelfire]

Lucifer's Talk isn't very lively. There's not much of a show, past the initial light show and the appearance of his wings as he comes on stage, a shining white, blinding flash of feathers that burn on the back of the visitors' retinas for almost half a minute after it happens.

Largely, it's a discussion resolving around the influence of the devil, or a figure like him, in almost every modern day religion, orated by Lucifer himself. He goes on to denounce the "horns, goat hooves and a tail" as a prank gone wrong, perpetuated by his brothers. The talk doesn't shy away from the fact that Hell is where people go when they sin, but Lucifer describes Heaven as being "a prison inside your own joy," and "besides, you can always have God forgive you at the last second, and the slate is wiped clean". The whole point, essentially, is that life is for living, and no rules written two thousand years ago by a stick in the mud goatherd should prevent anyone from doing what they want to. The main topic resolves frankly: if a person has faith enough to believe in something they can't hear, see or touch, then the presence of the Devil in their lives should only bolster that faith, and reassure them, for better or worse, that they have the right idea.

Lucifer uses clips from the new season of his show ImPortant! to deliver his message, and the crowd is filled with his cheering fans, and flanked by men and women dressed in white, who deliver pamphlets recollecting the message and advertising the Church of the Morningstar; donate to bring the church to a Porter city near you. The pamphlets also link to video channels where Lucifer delivers free sermons every Sunday on topics from adultery to music to world events, links to the church's Bwitter and a free download of Dorian Gray and the Hedonists' "Sympathy for the Devil" to everyone who signs up to their e-mail newsletter.

Since his own panel is running near the end of the event, Lucifer visits more than enough of the other panels. He goes to Mitchell's panel IMPORTS AND THE LAW: AN EVERCHANGING LANDSCAPE, Stark's panel IMPORTS AND REGISTRATION: A CONTROL MODEL THAT SPANS WORLDS and Sabriel's panel RISEING ABOVE: CHALLENGES AND TRIUMPHS IN IMPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT, in all three cases just to heckle. During Rincewind's panel LEAVE ME ALONE & DON'T TOUCH MY LUGGAGE he sits in the back and hums thoughtfully, knowing the terrified wizard would see the glow of his octarine magic from the other side of the hall, and know he was there. He genuinely enjoys the Doctor's panel PLEASE STOP MESSING UP THE TIMESTREAM because grouchy, miserable Time Lords are hilarious. Finally, he drops in on Jeff Winger's LAWYER AT LARGE: IMPORTS' IMPACT, INVOLVEMENT, AND INFLUENCE ON TV & MEDIA, appearing spontaneously from behind the stage, grabbing the man by both cheeks and kissing him hard in front of the cheering audience. This is what you get, Jeff, for not inviting him to join your panel. He avoids Miles' panel, it's almost a peaceful gesture, but honestly he's just not ready to face them yet.

Other than that, Lucifer can be seen around the halls. He drifts through artists' alley, dropping generous donations into the tip jars of any artist who's drawn him, and sparing a wink for the one malicious bastard who's drawn him pounding Gabriel, before signing his autograph on the original. The young man has a long memory, it seems, and it deserves to be rewarded.

There is a lot of Church of the Morningstar and Lucifer memorabilia drifting around the place. Lucifer is a brand, and his seal is on everything. There's keychains, notebooks, tote bags. If it can have a symbol on it, or a picture of Lucifer's pretty face, it exists. The symbol should only be on genuine Morningstar memorabilia, but, Lucifer establishes pretty quickly that there's a whole lot of bootleg stuff out there, which--well, it's just rude. The church is a charity, after all.

But it also has a bitching booth, staffed by booth babe satanists wearing fluffy white wings and fake halos. There's even a kissing booth, so that visitors to the stand can get a big wet kiss from a lovely lady wearing red horns in her long black hair, and the tiniest little black dress. Donations start at $50 for that particular treat, but there's a line. Leaflets are handed out, and all sorts of bits and pieces are being sold, including amulets "blessed by Lucifer himself" for all sorts of things including protection, luck in love, faithfulness etcetera. There are videos, all sorts of freebies, like I LOVE LUCIFER badges, and the same pamphlets passed out at his talk.

He's dressed in a nice black suit, well groomed, and keenly, dangerously interested in way too much that's going on around him, using this event to get to know his fellow imPorts better--and better yet, their weaknesses.

He leaves before the rave, and he doesn't spare a second for the ballpit. What the hell, right, he's a stick in the mud. ]

[ ooc: if you haven't already, please fill out my permissions before you tag, so I know what Lucifer can read of your character's soul. An image of the church which is on all the pamphlets is here. For any more questions, please pm me! ]

Gansey | Unsettled | OTA

[quaerit]

A: PANEL: WELSH KINGS, LEY LINES, AND THE NEW WORLD

[ Anyone who knows Gansey will be unsurprised at how excited he is. His search for Glendower is more than just an obsession, and it spiders eagerly out into the fields of Ley Lines, magic, ghosts, the spirit world, and also magical forests, just in case anyone was interested.

His table is laid out with diagrams and maps, all blown up as huge posters and carefully marked to highlight key areas. Virginia is strongly featured, but maps of the British Isles, Iceland, and various Southern American countries are shown. Virginia has an uneven triangle sketched roughly across it. There's also history books, newspaper cuttings, photocopies of tapestries. This is the contents of Gansey's journal, made large, and anyone who approaches will be quickly engaged with an eager starting line: ]

Wonderful to see you! So, how much do you know about Welsh Kings?

[ And that's the start. If you can tolerate his nerdiness for any length of time at all, he'll be delighted to see you. If nothing else, his happy energy is infectious throughout. ]

B: ARTIST'S ALLEY

[ Well, this is a revelation. Gansey had wandered over to the stand in innocence, having seen the keyrings from a distance. What he finds there is not innocent at all. He ends up seeing his name on what looks like a book, and is actually a kind of manga, full of pictures. A quick flip through this leaves him flustered, with his neck brightening. He quickly buys it, regardless of the fact that there's plenty of others. He flips through it, eyes wide. ]

Jesus Christ. Who is this Manolo?!

[ He's reasonably sure they've never even spoken, but they're seeing a lot of each other in this book. ]

C: BALLPIT

[ Gansey has a fairly high tolerance for crowds of people seeking his attention. He'd been more or less used to his mother's political cohorts, and to being horrifically popular for no good reason among peers who didn't even know him. Moving from that to dealing with import fans had been strange, but not ultimately that difficult. By now, he's used to it. He's shaken a lot o hands and signed a lot of autograph books during this convention.

Right now, though, he's definitely hiding. He's in the ballpit, on his back, making an approximation of a ballpit angel. He will be taking interruptions from other imports, only. ]

Kaneda | Registered (barely) | OTA every day

[rassera]

A.) Artist's Alley
[Through some behind-the-scenes discussion of FanPort and booths, Ken, Maya, and a somewhat reluctant Tetsuo had brought up the idea to make one for his art. Between his bike designs and some stuff he did on the walls of N5, it was safe to say that he had a knack for spray painting--using it as a tool to turn simple graffiti into works of art.

Which brings him to FanPort.

Kaneda would've never thought to sell his art here. Hell, he didn't even think people would buy it at all. For something so easy to do and something that came so naturally to him...Ken, Maya and Tetsuo convincing him to make some extra cash by selling his work was somewhat of a surprise. But like most teenagers who have lived a life of poverty, he's certainly not going to say no to more money, and with the necessary spray paints, mask,stencils and table setup, he's open for business in a far corner. A fan is running constantly to keep ventilation going, but it's hard to miss the sound of spraypaint hissing over it when he's hard at work. To him, this was exercising his talent to its extent.

There's a ton that he spray paints in his downtime, when people are bustling about and buying other wares, ranging from:
1.) Space
2.) Coral Reefs
3.) A city
4.) or a Sunset

These pre-made ones can be bought for $20 dollars, $15 if you're a good friend of his. Any specific requests are $40.

You might catch him finishing up a piece, or even starting one! If you want a request, he'll certainly try his best to do it for you.]

B.) Wandering Around
[At some point in the convention, he’d taken up someone’s offer to step away from his stand, letting them watch it so he could browse other wares. Most importantly--merchandise of himself. With both the Pan takeover and the Russian kidnapping rather big in news, it’s safe to say that Kaneda saw quite a few cosplayers, ranging from kids to adults alike. His outfit was relatively simple, the yellow tshirt and orange pants often giving them away in a crowd, and he can’t help but notice all the fake red streaks in people’s hair.

Who couldn’t smile at that?

But more importantly, there were people with white dyed hair next to him, ranging in different kinds of dress and drawn on eyebrows as their ‘Tetsuo’. Of course they’d be cosplayed together. And then there’s the array of buttons and keychains, the wigs and costumes (who sells a ‘Kaneda T-Shirt for 40 bucks? Cons do), bike replicas (only one was accurate), figures, bobbleheads...it was almost overwhelming.

He’s currently looking at two keychains, one of him and one of Tetsuo, in little action poses as they look like they’re about to duke it out. It’s...oddly nostalgic in the worst, but best way.

The fame does nothing for his ego, the constant autographs a new surprise to him, if not a welcome one. What can he say? He’s confident enough to sign a few pieces of paper, and soak in that hard earned reputation he’d earned.

Yes, he’d earned this.]

---

[Alternatively, he could find those same cosplayers with either Maya Fey cosplayers or Tetsuo cosplayers holding shipping signs. It’s a mix of both horror and what the fuck.

Mayeda?

Kanetetsu?

What are these words? TETSUO IS HIS BROTHER YOU SICK FUCKS.]

C.) Food Court
[Of course Kaneda could be found at the food court at some point. The food people brought him at his booth wasn’t enough to satisfy him, so he’s off to get some refreshments and piling that food up on his plate enough to have the middle start caving in from the weight. He starts eating even before he finishes piling up his plate, taking his refuge by the closest corner he can. If you’re wanting to find him not caught up in all the mess, this would be the place to do it. What is an Aritaco? Weird, that’s what it was. But Dipper-Dots were somewhat hilarious to think about, shoving a spoonful in his mouth as he watched the others take part in festivities. He’d be back to his booth soon, for sure.

But right now it’s eating time.

And he’s going to try a little bit of everything--especially the ones named after his friends.]

Mint.

[It’s said in English, with the most heavy of accents as he inspects the Mabel Mint Crisps, sounding out each letter and holding out his paper of the alphabet for reference. Learning by food WHILE eating?

You’re a multi-tasker, Kaneda.]

D.) Panels
[While having none of the panels specifically to himself, he can be found at a few of them that his friends are hosting. Most importantly the STAYING FIT WITH YOUR DOG one held by Shepard, with his dog Capsule right by his side. He can also be found standing in the back of the SCREAM QUEENS SECRET PANEL, KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE WITH THE PINK PRINCESS! TV SHOW TODAY!, WALK WALK FASHION BABY and AIR TREK: THE COOLEST TECH AROUND]

E.) Ball Pit
[There’s literally no explanation for this he’s making a running dive into that thing because WTF ITS A POOL FULL OF PLASTIC BALLS.

And that sort of thing needs no exposition.]

F.) Rave
[Kaneda loved to dance. It was practically in his blood to dance. And this was no different, the beat intense and baseline practically shaking the room as music surrounds him. He can't help but tap his foot, or even get out on the dance floor to let his own improvisation take hold of him. He knew how to dance from just letting the music speak for him, and that was what he was going to do here.

You can either join him or find him after, taking a break from the cardio. He certainly won't mind a dance partner or company.

Glow sticks? Don't mind if he takes one.]

G.) Wildcard
[Feel free to make up your own scenario for this guy if you wanna meet him!]

Tetsuo | Unregistered Forever | OTA

[iamtetsuo]

A: ARTIST ALLEY/WANDERING

[It's hard to say how he feels about this. They're real people, not things you pose around in weird pinups like this. Or make.. figures out of ... pipe cleaner? That's definitely a Mewtwo out of pipe cleaner there, small melted circles in the shape of what could be Koromaru... whatever that is. But as he's rummaging around the aisles anyway, he can't help but get interested.

And he really can't help but notice something.]

Kaneda... Maya... Kaneda.. Amada... Kaneda, Kaneda, Rick, Mewtwo??- Come on!! Everyone else is here!

[If there's any art of him, and he's badass enough to totally warrant some!! he can't find any. Even fighting Kaneda. Is he just looking in the wrong places, or is he really that forgotten? Granted, he has not done much of anything since January, but.. but!?]


B: WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

[He does, however, find a Tetsuo cosplayer. And that's supremely weird. In fact, this ones' got the coat he lost in Pan's camp - red with white fur - and uncomfortably gelled white hair - and even more strangely, happens to be a girl.

He stops and stares at her, face screwed up in a bizarre fascination. She notices him, too, looks him up and down... and the conversation instantly goes downhill the second she claims her Tetsuo outfit is better.]

It's no outfit! ... You wanna see who the better Tetsuo is?! Here... I can show you!

[Someone save this kid.]


C: SHOWING OFF IN THE HALLWAYS

[Move aside, Little Sally Walker game, this is way more fascinating and potentially dangerous.

Hidden at the center of a cluster of fascinated natives - one or two of which are actually cosplaying Tetsuo himself, Tetsuo's got an array of various objects. He'd lift one into the air psychokinetically, spin it around to start, and then shatter it, catching the pieces into a frozen explosion, or twist it viciously somehow to make terrifying modern art. By now, he's gone through a few; it's not pleasant, and he can't do this forever, but he's damn well going to try.

Each time, there's a visible reaction in the crowd, and in no time at all someone reclaims their souvenir for someone else to replace it with something else - a quarter, a battery, a pen, an action figure of some ImPort in one case, a comb or brush... anything small. In one notable case, an old gameboy.

This totally safe impromptu demonstration is in one of the long hallways/open room areas, by a bunch of chairs and windows. It'll continue until either staff manage to finally brave enough to call it quits, or someone else manages to pull Tetsuo away somehow.

Get something destroyed? Put a stop to this?]


D: IMPORT HALL

[Any fears Tetsuo may have had about getting no attention are pretty quickly set to rest. He does not have a booth, exactly... but he'll be continuing breaking objects if asked, making demands of food or drink from his 'adoring public' and being rewarded for his arrogance by said offerings fairly quickly provided. Apparently, cutting out the earlier display just means moving it to somewhere no one can even object to.

He's also got a minor stash of random things people gave him. Some of it's food. Some of it's art, a couple buttons. One of them's a small, five dollar USB, whatever that is, with something on it. Whatever it is, he's asked to take a look on and give feedback about.

Whatever. He'll take it, and probably forget all about it. If you bribe him enough, he might even break something of yours like he was doing for free in the hall earlier. Yes, worship him, he's amazing.]

E: RAVE

[Tetsuo isn't even trying to dance. He's snatching a bunch of glowsticks and swirling them around him in weird patterns, perched on a table in front of them. However far from the speakers he can possibly get, in the back, that's where he is, dancing his glowsticks around in glowing, eerie arrays of light and colors.

It's way too loud and crowded closer for his headache to begin to deal with. He'll make his OWN light show. And it'll be FINE.]

Junpei Iori | Registered | OTA all days

[homerunning]

A.) Artist’s Alley
What do you mean I’m not a REAL SEES MEMBER? I was one of the first!

[Do you ever have an argument with a fan of SEES? Do you ever have to defend what is rightfully your position? Because that’s what’s happening right now to a ‘veteran’ and Junpei Iori, pointing to fanart of Minato, Ken, Akikhiko, Shinjiro, and Koromaru.]

Just ASK any of them! I’m Junpei Iori!

[“Never heard of you”]

Are you SERIOUS!?

B.)Trismegistus Rides
[Despite all the lack of merch, it’s not like Junpei hasn’t made an impression on the people while at the convention. With everyone all huddled around outside to get some fresh air, Junpei’s noticed kids playing around in their cosplays. What better way to get to know the non-Imports than by introducing yourself?

And what better way to bond than to let them have little hover rides on your giant bird? Of course, he’s not going to summon Trismegistus right in front of the kids--he has way more tact than to fire a (even a fake) gun around kids. So he’ll just approach them with Trismegistus already summoned, letting them latch one at a time on Trismegistus’s foot and let them hover a foot or so off the ground a couple of yards. The Persona is quite large, Junpei himself only going up to about mid-thigh of the creature, maybe 12 feet in height at the very least. Nothing dangerous, just little pony rides on the giant bird monster.

It’s wearing on his mind, but Spring of Life does help every now and then, Trismegistus making sure that the boy isn’t wearing his brain thin doing this.]

”Again, Mr. Iori!”

[A smile cracks on his lips as he ushers the kid off his Persona.]

Hey, just call me Junpei, okay? We’re friends. But you gotta let other people go first, alright? They’re your friends, too.

Promise, he’s not going anywhere.


C.)Cosplay
[On one of the days of FanPort, you might find Junpei in cosplay. It was pretty much last minute, complete with running to the store and throwing clothes on that were similar enough, but he managed to pull together a nice cosplay of one of his roommates and fellow hat enthusiast, Dipper Pines.

The shorts are weird, and he feels like he should belong in some 80’s movie about a DeLorean, but the vest is a fun touch. It’s puffy and weird and good thing this is in Heropa, he’d be freezing.

Do you know who he is, kids? It’s hard to tell. He could be ANYONE!]

D.)Tsumsonas
[At long last, there’s one piece of merch that has Junpei in it. Being one of the newer SEES members, it wasn’t like he was broadcasted much, and thus fell into the background of his fellow members who had been here a year. But one company saw him and immediately decided to cash in on his presence, the Tsums company, who decided to make Tsumsonas of all the SEES members.

And Junpei was determined to get one of himself.

However, box after box that he opens, he tends to get the same one: Minato Arisato. It’s nostalgic and nice, to get your best friend, and that smile sadly spreads across his face as he sets them in his pocket to collect.

He’d have to get one of him sooner or later right?

About 4 or 5 Minatos say no.

But he does listen to the kids off in the distance talking about theirs, opening them in order to get the rare Ken Amada/Koromaru duo, or Minato, the guy who could summon ‘everything!!!’ But one girl opens hers and groans, letting it roll out to reveal a Junpei.

He can’t keep his eyes off the girl, waiting for her reaction as it rolls out. This was it. This was his moment.]

”Aw man!!! I only got THIS guy!!”

[Immediately, that face drops, eyes casting back to the box that held his fifth Minato. Right...he wasn’t the real prize of these. But he was still plenty cool!! He thought he was, anyway.

But the way the girl’s trying to barter it off for a ‘cool blue guy’, he knows what this is about. And takes a deep breath and ready to wander over to make the trade.

Someone wanted the Junpei one, after all.]

E.) Wildcard
[Feel free to make up your own scenario for this guy if you wanna meet him!]

Six | Soon-to-be-Registered | OTA

[irassible]

Refreshments
9 AM, 4/14

[ There's nothing like food to make the incredible, unbelievable, and horrendous crowds more bearable.

It's easy to ignore the whole affair as Six, sneaking out of the center at the first opportunity, sits his pleased self down at one of the temp dining tables outside with an armful of the following: six hotdogs with various imPort-themed toppings, two dozen cookies baked into the shape of recognizable faces, a huge paper plate of cheese fries with a flag of someone's logo stuck in the top, fried pickles, two gigantic cups of mysterious "Cherry-Infused Water", some supposed fried shark-on-a-stick, and a chocolate-covered banana.

Watch in amazement as he proceeds to eat all of these things. ]

Con Floor
1 PM, 4/14

[ He's new. That's the only reason he could gorge himself have breakfast without incident. That's the only reason he could wander beyond the ImPort Hall without being pestered by more than a "Cool outfit!" and "Your makeup is amazing!" at any given time. But sometime around noon, someone finally asked him:

"Is that tail...real?"

Now Six is jogging, very quickly across the con floor, at least whenever he can find an open space. A gaggle of fans that consists first and foremost of young girls and secondly of looky-loos picked up along the way is hot on his (real) tail. For every preteen that gets snagged by their parents or honest fan that gives up in out of politeness, another two more of each type are caught in the excitement, until "jogging" is upgraded to "sprinting".

You might just see this whole parade go streaming past you as he yells: ]

For gods' sake, piss off you damn--don't touch me!

[ There's crack of fury to his voice and when he swings around, yanking his tail out of someone's hands, there's a dangerous tension in his shoulders. ]

ImPort Hall
10 AM, 4/15

[ To forget the horrors of the first day, Six coped as only a man can: by drinking copiously most of the night. The next morning finds him slumped back in a chair in a semi-secluded corner of the ImPort Hall for the following reasons: there's security, there's a water table nearby, and there's a great big trash bin right next to him. He's skipped most of his armor for today, leaving him in a black linen shirt, extremely tight black pants, and boots, though he's still very armed, even if his belt is sloppily buckled.

There's a handmade t-shirt with "FREE HUGS FOR IMPORTS" written on it in glitter glue draped over his face in an effort to combat the twelve-alarm hangover he's heroically enduring. ]

The Roof
All Day, 4/16

[ How did he get there? When did he get there? It's a mystery!

But as far as Six is concerned, the roof consists of BLESSED SILENCE and NOBODY, his two favorite things, so for most of the last day of FanPort Six can be found on the roof napping, eating a variety of imPort-themed dishes, napping, flipping through dirty doujinshi that JUST MIGHT be about YOU, and napping. ]

time to bother satan

[brushoff]

So it's nearing the end of the con and Dorian has noticed that huh, he's been accosted by...unique sort of people all day. Unique people that aren't the throngs of adoring twenty-something's he's used to. The fact that he's been greeted with 'hail Satan!' a couple of times only finally puts the nail in the coffin

Trying to stick close to Lucifer for self-preservation is great. That self-preservation turning into Satanists bugging Dorian is annoying. He manages to catch Lucifer when the angel's less surrounded by busy people. Dorian's a bit underdressed compared to him, wearing an oxford shirt and tight black jeans, but he still manages to look damn good mostly because he's Dorian Gray.

"So, mind telling me why about five Satanists have complimented me on my music?"

He didn't attend the panel. Hell, it's Saturday, Dorian is tired. Immortality may prevent baggy eyelids but it doesn't stop the tiredness of going hard each evening to lap up that adoration.

C.

[oddbod]

[There's a flurry of movement at the door - the fast click of high heels, a muttered curse - as Clara practically throws herself inside. She shuts it behind her with too much force, and freezes as what sounds like a small stampede hurries by outside. Only then does she turn around and spot the ball pit, with Gansey inside.]

Are they chasing you as well?

Tobias Matthews | Registered | OTA (replies will be slow)

[hisheartsdesire]

ImPortHall, 4/16; the PROPOSAL
[It's the busiest Toby has ever seen the ImPortHall. And given he and Dorian Gray are the sorts of people who like to attract attention and make a scene, he decides he's going to do this here and now. In the middle of him and Dorian signing autographs and things, Toby literally flags down the attention of fans and other imPorts in their part of the hall,]

Hear, hear! There's something very important I'd like everyone to witness.

[He turns to Dorian with the broadest of smiles on his face, and it is clear he is smitten, so thoroughly and absolutely in love with this man.]

I love you, Dorian Gray. And I would be... [Then he produces a small box from one of his back pockets, gets to one knee, and opens the box to present its small, gleaming contents.] ...most delighted and honoured if you would like to spend the rest of your potential imPort life with me, so long as we could remember.

[Please.]

Post-Proposal, ANYWHERE
[Toby is in high spirits. He doesn't care that he doesn't have a reflection, that if and when people see images of his proposal, he's not actually going to be in them. Because what's most important is that he has a fiance, that there's physical proof that he and Dorian have this close an intimate relationship with one another.

And he got them even more attention now! So he's signing things left and right, stopping to laugh at notions of taking pictures of or with him... Life's wonderful, Toby is having the most delightful time ever. Even when he weird doujinshi of pairings he might normally find distasteful gets shoved into his face. Or when he stops by other imPorts to ask them how they're enjoying the festivities.]

the Twelfth Doctor | not registered in the slightest | ota!

[helpline]

one: panels
[ Can it really be considered a panel if it's mostly the Doctor just being grumpy? Apparently it can. PLEASE STOP MESSING UP THE TIMESTREAM is a very informal panel. Instead of sitting behind the table, the Doctor sits crosslegged on top of it. Most of the 'panel' is spent fielding questions from the audience, while the Doctor occasionally going on tangents along the lines of 'well it'd probably be OKAY if the pioneers saw a microwave but just don't leave it behind in pioneer times to begin with.'

IS THAT A DRAGON IN MY GARDEN? is a LITTLE more dignified but let's be real, a good chunk of the panel probably consists of the Doctor questioning the logic of the Dragon Age universe and Hawke questioning the logic of the Doctor Who universe.

He doesn't attend many other panels but takes time out of his schedule to attend BUILDING THE FUTURE WITH IMPORT TECHNOLOGY where...he can be found glaring sulkily at Tony Stark from the back of the room for the entire panel. Did you not listen to him talking about the timestream??? He's also at the SCREAM QUEENS CONCERT enjoying the hell out of it like the aging punk Peter Capaldi the Doctor secretly is. ]

two: artists alley
[ It's an undisputed fact that Paul McGann is really, really pretty. So even though the Eighth Doctor was only here for a week or so (thanks pull point plot), there's a good four or so people who have artwork of the Eighth Doctor up for sale, something which the Twelfth Doctor has just decided to take personally (especially since he's a tiny bit underrepresented among the imPort art selection). ]

He's not even here anymore!

[ What gives, artists alley?! ]

three: imPort hall
[ He has so many baked goods. The Doctor's only just popped into the imPort hall for a brief moment or two to see if he can find Clara, when he gets accosted by some surly teenager who's a bit grumpy, who pushes a loaf of lemon bread onto the Doctor and grumbles something like 'my aunt wanted you to have this.' It happens a few more times as the Doctor continues his search: just replace 'lemon bread' with cookies, macaroons, or fruitcake and replace 'aunt' with mom, next-door neighbor or, in one notable case, granddad. (The Doctor responded with a simple 'go team granddad' to that and gamely stepped in for a picture).

So yeah, he's just leaning up against the wall of the imPort hall, enjoying the hell out of some chocolate chip cookies. If you're someone the Doctor even remotely has positive cr with, he'll wave you over and ask, ] Want one?

a;

[hisheartsdesire]

Well, what have we here? [Toby approaches as Gansey is just about to start.] The historic U.K. What do you know, things that are hundreds of years before my time!

Lucy Pevensie | registered | ota

[illuminescent]

a; artists's alley

[ She's making her way through the stalls; she doesn't look particularly out of place, for once, because she's wearing jeans, of all things, and a long tunic-style shirt, and boots, and she has her hair in a very simple braid instead of one of her more elaborate hairstyle. This has helped her avoid a lot of notice.

But she's taking a look at one of the booths when someone does notice her, and they sidle up to her, and soon she has a small crowd of men - yes, they're all men - who are starting to crowd into her personal space. No one is being outright rude, although some of them are getting a bit too handsy with photo ops, and she's clearly starting to look for a polite way to get out. ]

Ah, oh! A moment, there's my companion-

[ That companion is you. Hopefully. ]

b; cosplay contest

[ She's found her way here next, and this is better, although she's really not one to grasp the mechanics of fame, really, despite being a Queen. She smiles at the girls who are dressed in period dress and she takes pictures - oddly enough - with a couple of the people (girls and guys) dressed like Musketeers. Her compliments are gracious and exuberant.

And then she's in the corner a moment. ]

I must admit I did not think it would be so colorful!

two(weeooooo)

[oddbod]

I don't know - this is some fine art, if you ask me.

[Clara's managed to sneak up behind him, holding a little watercolor print up to the light.]

Ken Kaneki || Registered || OTA

[enucleation]

[ this isn't Kaneki's first Fanport and he has a feeling it won't be the last. As usual, what he feels about the whole thing is mostly "creeped out" because these people aren't talking about some fictional characters from shows like in most conventions, but instead they are gushing over real people - wich would be fine if some of what they did wasn't so... bizarre.

He might be thinking about the Artist's Alley.

he is totally thinking about that.

Certainly that's the place to avoid! However, he can be found in several other places, sometimes even asking for help silently because why this. And why these things.


THE KENNIBALS
Among his travels, Kaneki has finally met face to face some of his fans. He wishes he hadn’t. They are mostly girls wearing versions of his battlesuit and mask who started shirking when they saw him and soon after flock around him, asking him questions about ghouls, about his latte art, wanting to even know about his "food" (where he gets it, recipes...) and of course, immediately taking selfies with him, while he tries NOT to show up on those.

Nope, nope, nope.

HELP. He really needs help right now.


REFRESHMENTS
Or just Iced coffee please. he doesn't know what they call it and he doesn't care - he just wants coffee and some peace and quiet after meeting some excited fans (why would anyone be a ghoul's fan that's beyond him. People really need to have a look at their own lives for a second). Once he is served, kaneki grabs it and moves towards a quieter area, taking a sip slowly and you might hear him mutter to himself "I'll need a drink after this".

Yes, a lot of people will, Kaneki.


RAVE NOT REALLY
Though Kaneki will stay around even during the rave, he isn't going to dance. he is also no longer wearing his shirt which hid his battlesuit (one of them) so he can be seen wearing that (without mask or gloves) - why his shirt is no longer in place, you ask? Why are all of Kaneki's battlesuits BDSMy? Who knows. Kaneki won't be answering that - in any case ENJOY THE AMAZING THING THAT IS KEN'S BATTLESUIT (or like some people call it, Supersuit!).

He will be found at a corner drinking - you guessed right - more coffee and while he won't be talking to anyone who is squealing at him, he will be answering a question or two if a calm native approaches. You might hear him explaining and even discussing what a kagune is, actually, with a very informative voice:

"It's a predatory organ, yes, but it's part of a ghoul's biology. Like lions have claws, a ghoul has a kagune - we just keep it hidden. However, it's not only meant to predate, you can do a lot of things with it if we are imaginative."

It seems he won't mind questions this time around. The native will eventually leave, but he won't mind answering more if anyone was listening in. Or maybe you want to ask him for a dance - though expect him to say "no", he hasn't danced in a long time.


LATE NIGHT
Surprisingly, Kaneki will stay until the very end! Which is a feat in itself. For some reason he has an acoustic guitar in his hand, which was probably a gift from one of the fans. He isn't at a corner this time but he is still sitting down as he tries out the guitar, tuning it and playing few notes.

he hasn't played in a very long time, so he won't dare, but he smiles a little as he hears the notes. Kaneki smiling on his own, gasp. ]

Commander Shepard | Registered | OTA

[sassguard]

Compared to last year's fanport, where Shepard elected to stay out of it and stay on duty instead, this year is particularly busy one for him, with no less than three panels to put together.

At Staying Fit With Your Dog, Mako is naturally in attendance, acting as the star of the show as Shepard walks through his pre-prepared routine. Luckily, they've managed to secure a spot for this that is outdoors, an open-sided event tent set up on the grounds outside the convention center that provides shade while giving enough room to play. Shepard, dressed sportily in a Heropa PD shirt and running shorts, only spends a little time talking about his daily fitness routine (a lot of running and weight lifting, apparently) before leading Mako through a series of tricks through a simple obstacle course (observant audience members might notice he's giving her more treats than strictly necessary).

After the demo, Shepard's happy to offer the microphone over to other imPorts that have showed up with their dogs and give them the chance to show off what their pooches can do.

At Biotics 101, the same outdoor tent setup is used, but the wooden ramps and tunnels have been cleared out to give the biotics plenty of space to work, with a few crates and cardboard targets. There's a long table in corner, slightly too flimsy for the amount of food it's bearing. Shepard leaves the technical explanations up to the more scholarly among them, and focuses on demonstrating his particular biotic specialty: a biotic charge followed by a detonation that sends the targets flying.

After the Military Approach to First-Aid panel, which Shepard spends largely either playing dead or being a model for bandages and various forms of chest compressions, it's time to wander Fanport himself. He ends up visiting the panels Magnets and Motorbikes, Is That a Dragon in My Garden, Please Stop Messing Up the Timestream, and even In an Arms of an Angel, but the rest of the time is spent wandering through the merchandise booths and boggling at what's on display and for sale.

To say nothing of the cosplayers. After what Jaime showed him on his phone, he's feeling particularly wary of running into any, and occasionally goes as far as ducking into booths at random, but his luck can only run so long.

At some point during the convention, his quest to escape scrutiny leads him to the ballpit, which Mako -- a corgi or something of similar stature presumably being the only one who can actively enjoy the pathetic-looking pool -- promptly dives into.

A.)

[rassera]

Oi! Tetsuo!

[While the Artist's Alley was rather loud, filled with people bustling about and buying art, fanfic, whatever pleases them...Kaneda's voice still carries over the crowds and calls out to his brother, working his way through some excited fans with a tiny paper bag clutched in his fist. While he did have a booth in the back corner of this place, even guys like him have to take a break once in awhile, and it's no surprise that he's going to look for Tetsuo first off.

Although, not without making a purchase.

His eyes glitter as he gets to the aisle that Tetsuo's frustratingly searching, arm slinging around that shoulder and hooking him close. It was good to see Tetsuo out and about anywhere but the house, honestly, and the fact that he was wandering around and trying to at least be somewhat social? No matter what ends or reasons, he's glad.

But first things first.]

Find anything good?

proposal, duhhhhh

[brushoff]

[ Round two, he is not gonna fuck up round two. Though honestly, Dorian wasn't expecting it to be this public! Though...it made sense for it to be this public, he said he wasn't going to back out, this just pressured him into not backing out. Tobias Matthews, you crafty bastard, this is just one of the more reasons why Dorian loved that man.

Plus, they were going to get so much attention from this proposal. How Dorian loved this man.

So, as Toby gets down on one knee, Dorian just can't help but smile himself, wide grin on his face. ] Well, Tobias Matthews, I suppose I'll have to say yes. After all, I love you so much as well. [ He's still smiling like an idiot as he reaches over towards Toby's hands, to help the man back on his feet. ]

I would be honored to spend eternity with you.

Billy Kaplan | never registered | OTA

[inmyothertights]

a; cosplay contest

[ Asshole here is dressed like Stephen Strange. Yes. Fucking Sorcerer Supreme Billy Kaplan, and he doesn't even care that literally no one knows who he is, because fuck it, Sorcerer Supreme. His costume has pretty spiffy detail work, too, but then, when you can create something out of nothing it's not like that sort of thing is hard, right?

He is chilling in a corner most of the time, but sometimes he gets up, gets tangled in the cape, gets flustered, takes pictures. Interrupt him at any time. Really.

Any time now.]

b; panels

[ At some point he ditched the cape and now he's wearing his actual costume, which is better, because it has little galaxies spinning around in it, and his cape isn't the kind that he gets tangled in. It's between panels and Billy is having a very angry conversation with someone about dude, I don't care what world you're from, magic doesn't work that way which is countered by just because you're some powerful being- and then it devolves into the most fanboy argument to ever fanboy, and this is starting to get kind of ridiculous.

Security is starting to eye them both, because Billy is standing his ground and looking cranky and there's a malicious looking aura of static around his head, and the other fanboy isn't giving because now it's personal, and people are starting to troll this because it's also hilarious. ]

B;

[inmyothertights]

[Billy is not innocent.

Billy has been to these things before, but he stopped looking at Gansey for like a second, to turn and ask an artist a question, when he turns back and looks over at what Gansey is looking at, and two things cross his mind. The first is that this is absurd, Manolo doesn't even know Gansey and really why don't people make fanworks of -

Actually he cuts that thought short and reaches out, but is too late to stop the purchase.]

I'm going to ask you, for your own safety, to put the book down, Gansey.

[helpline]

Yeah, I'm not denying the fact that it's alright, but a week! He was just here for a week! I've been here what, six months?

[ GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP. And then wait a moment... ]

Did you buy that yourself?

[iamtetsuo]

[Tetsuo's shoulders slump.

He and Kaneda aren't at odds anymore; they're allies, through and through. It just makes it all the harder to see Kaneda glorified every-fucking-where without much reward to himself. As things change... they stay exactly the same. Small whispers about Kaneda's shadow come back to mind, and he can't quite shake them out.

Kaneda's both the first and last person he wants to see right now.]

Nah.

[He snaps the binder of prints shut before Kaneda can see. It doesn't matter anyway. They're all beautifully done and that just makes it worse.]

It's just junk.

[oddbod]

Oh, they just gave it to me. For free.

[She gives the paper a little waggle.]

And it was a very eventful week!

A)

[iamtetsuo]

Oh, there you are.

[As if he could possibly forget; he'd hung around Kaneda's table for a while before wandering away.

It's Kaneda's fault Tetsuo's here, anyway. If not for being bribed with a chunk of money to go enjoy himself, he probably wouldn't be here at all. In a twist surprising no one, all of that money is already gone, and all Tetsuo's got to show for it is a bag of some assorted stuff. He's a kid who's never had much; the chance of getting stuff is a siren call too strong for him to begin to resist.

The problem? It's only been an hour and he's already bored again. So, it's back to the table he goes, to lean against it as Kaneda puts more layers of dark on canvas, trying to guess at what Kaneda's working on. It used to be easy until he started innovating; what could be space or cityscape (and therefore desirable) could easily end up with additions that Tetsuo didn't want on them.

Kaneda's work is pretty amazing. Even Tetsuo can't deny that. That's part of why he keeps trying to hold out for more of it - and definitely why, whenever Kaneda's working on something less interesting to his aesthetics, Tetsuo's a lot faster to criticize it.]

What's that you're making?

[rassera]

[Kaneda's eyes blink at the binder snapping shut, but it does nothing to dampen his mood. Still off of the high of what had happened with Project Phoenix, he grips that shoulder tight and rests his head on the opposite one, dark eyes practically sparkling with accomplishment. Whatever's got him in such a good mood...he clearly wants to share it with Tetsuo.]

Some of the stuff here is CRAZY. These non-ImPorts sure do have a lot of time on their hands.

[That hand moves down to the small of Tetsuo's back, leading him away from the stall (the seller probably wasn't all too happy with Tetsuo calling their work 'junk', whoops) over to a corner where the aisles meet.]

But you'll never GUESS what I found.

a;

[hisheartsdesire]

[Even though Toby's used to navigating himself through busy scenes with all eyes on him, there's just so many people at FanPort that it's hard to escape. Thankfully, Lucy managed to call out just loud enough for Toby to see her desperately gesturing hands and arms.]

Ah, Lucy, there you are! Been looking all over for you!

[With that, he presses through the mass of men and reaches out to her.]
