August Swear-in!

WHO: imPorts!
WHERE: De Chima Sports Arena!
WHEN: Thursday, August 18
WHAT: Registration at the first De Chima Games! Come and participate in this friendly competition of athletic prowess!
WARNINGS: None anticipated, please note if you need this edited!

Welcome to the De Chima games! De Chima's ambassadorial office has set up a series of athletic events to increase unity, peace, and friendship between the imPort and the native community! ImPorts are welcome to try their hand at competition, or just participate in a fun game of good-spirited competition. Held in a stadium in De Chima on a perfect day (how lucky!) this event is being heralded as a great way to increase friendship in the community!

The Games have various stations. After the Opening Ceremonies, which is not terribly ostentatious, but has a fun performance, and obviously, lots of food and beverage (and a picture of Komasan, the terrific mascot of these Games) the stations break down as follows:

ImPort prowess!

ImPorts show off their powers, but all for good! Native populations are here to witness spectacles of flying, strength, and speed! There are demonstrations if people choose, and the Native population is mingling and asking for autographs! Are you a superhero who wants to show people what good they can do? Then this is your chance! Characters can show their powers off as they want, and there will be time to mingle with the crowd - and other imPorts - to explain what they do and how they do it. Characters can also combine powers if they wish, or enter in contests with each other. Characters can also be spectators, if that’s more their style. And for characters who aren’t interested in participation directly, there is always the prep area: a place for participants to prepare, that needs some helpful hands to give advice, hold bags, and generally provide support!

Friendly competition!

In this section of the games, power suppressors are used to even the playing field between native athletes and imPorts! Are you the fastest runner in the world? Do you stack up again Yusuf Thunder, the fastest (non imPort) man in the world (why yes that is his real name!)? This is where you'll find out! At the end people will be judged on a 1-10, and of course there's always one biased judge! And friendly ribbing, gentle mockery, and wholehearted support is always welcome! There are several sports to choose from, including track and field, gymnastics, volleyball, and of course, table tennis (the most popular sport of them all!). Characters can enter contests and win or lose, but either way there will be a chance to speak to fans, rivals, and friendly competitors after. Characters can also be spectators; there’s plenty of arena-style seating to allow for meeting up, heckling participants, or passionate cheering (or booing, if that’s more your style). Government officials will be handling the power suppressors: they will be anklets or bracelets that characters will wear for the duration of the event only, and none can be taken from the games, as they’ll be collected quickly by the same officials.

Celebration party!

Not a gala, but a low-key, genuine sort of dance and socializing event to wrap up the day’s festivities and promote cross-cultural understanding! There's food and drink, naturally, but mostly it's a dance party in the stadium after the games conclude! Characters can mingle with each other, of course, and dance on the dance floor; there will be strobing lights and tons of balloons and streamers in a rainbow of colors. For characters less inclined to dance, there are tables and chairs on the outside of the arena-turned-dance floor, with small tokens of appreciation - small “gold” (plastic, naturally) medals with imPort’s names on them, and other fun trinkets like that - kazoos and party crackers, small toys and party favors.

I do not look like a giraffe learning how to walk.

[Fake stink eye all the way. Then she laughs again as the song changes to something more upbeat.]

Come on. I know you've got some secret moves in there.

[A shrug.

He doesn't like the thought of dancing. He doesn't like it at all. So he tilts his head and starts his great escape.]


Yeah, but... You know... Why don't we go somewhere more quiet?

[To speak, of course. Totally flawless.]

Somewhere more quiet to...?

[Yeah, that's clearly how she took it as well. That's why she's smiling like that.]

Talk. ... Amongst other things.

[He smiles too. Might they enjoy each other's company? No. Be intimate? NO. What is the supervillain version of netflix and chill, anyhow? Comparing cases? Watching themselves being arrested on their own version of COPS?]

I like that idea.

[Daisy reaches down to grab hold of his hand.]

Lead the way.

[Lead the way he does!

But once they're clear of danger, because he isn't going to call public dancing anything else, he's leaning against the wall of the corridor outside and looking back and forth. Though he remains a little bit stiff in paying any passing strangers some attention.]


I wouldn't go in there again in a hurry.

[First honest thing he's said all day. Give him a gold star!]

[Daisy's right there with him.]

It's a little overwhelming, isn't it?

[Moving to rest against the wall next to him, Daisy gives his hand a squeeze before letting go.]

We can go, if you want?

[It takes some mental fortitude not to speak through gritted teeth, at that.]

I wouldn't force you.

Sorry. It's just new, being you know...

[Alive?]

You're not.

Celebrities? Yeah, I know.
