I was looking at a Riverbed

WHO: imPorts!
WHERE: Maurtia Falls Memorial Library
WHEN: April 22nd, all day.
WHAT: Registration in motion at Maurtia Fall’s new and improved library. Come to see the grand unveiling and stay for the snow sculpting contest, fun costumes, or games. You might be encouraged to remain as quiet as possible in a library under normal circumstances, but just today, you can feel free to be as loud as you want!
WARNINGS: None anticipated. Let me know if that should be changed!

Although it’s April, Maurtia Falls is covered in a blanket of glistening snow. And whether the arrival of all these Westerosi folk is to blame for the prolonged winter or that pesky groundhog who saw his shadow, it seems as though spring will not rear its head today at least. But have no fears! A path has been shoveled and the large stone steps leading up to an even larger building are cleared, greatly diminishing the risk of slips (and lawsuits.) Welcome to the newly constructed Maurtia Falls Memorial Library!

Invited guests have been encouraged to come in costume -- dressed as either their favorite literary hero/character or author. And although imPorts are not necessarily book characters, they will find several mini-me versions of themselves running around from children who just wanted to use the day to dress up like their favorite imPort. Is that a tiny Rincewind with a lunchbox luggage? Look at that crazy cotton ball hair on that mini Doc Brown! And that little know-it-all girl is definitely playing a very convincing Kitty Jones!

The day begins with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which might fill imPorts who know Ambassador Baelish with dread because it means he’s going to give a speech. But it’s surprisingly short and concise, thanking everyone for attending, expressing excitement over what the library means for the city, and stating that this project is the result of everyone’s kind efforts and that it will be immortalized as a true testament of the things they can accomplish as a collective. However, simply because Ambassador Baelish isn’t as long-winded as usual does not mean the others who have been invited to speak will not be. Among such honored guests are Senator Mitchell Hundred and Count Dooku.

But once the ribbon is cut, the large doors are opened to reveal the common area of the library. And if you thought the main room contained all the books the library had to offer, surprise! There are at least three more side rooms that contain everything from comics to classic literature. ImPorts may notice many names fancily engraved into the stone pillars and archways. A little plaque hanging at the entrance indicates that these are the names of natives who have lost their lives in the city of Maurtia Falls and how you can honor the fallen by donating to the families at the front desk. Near that plaque and on display for the event are several signed copies of The Methodical Walter White by Doctor Frederick Chilton (available for purchase), The Luminescent Moon Trilogy which is a series from The City and was loaned generously by Kanaya Maryam (protected by magic seals to prevent theft), and in honor of the recently departed Dorian Gray -- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is accompanied by a framed picture of the actual Dorian Gray along with a pretentious inscription that says: Forever immortalized and never forgotten.

But books aren’t the only form of entertainment at this Swear In! In the Tony Stark Information/Technology Wing, imPorts are invited to try out a demo of the newest mmorpg ION (ImPorts Opposing Nations) -- a game where you can customize and create your own imPort character, give them a power/costume from a small list, and from there, choose to live heroically or villainously within the world’s setting of a highly corrupt set of nations. As you level up, you get the chance to unlock new powers and abilities or enhance the set you currently have. However, there are still many glitches to be ironed out, so don’t be surprised if your character turns the corner and comes out with the face of Komasan! Or if you encounter something even more unsettling.

If video games aren’t your thing, perhaps you’ll be more interested in heading to one of the classrooms for a featured game of Magic and Mayhem (an RPG table top game that hit the majority report back in February). Or maybe you’re feeling less adventurous and more generous. If so, there are many different money raising events going on with all proceeds donated to those many families who lost loved ones in this city. Feeling photogenic? You can donate your time to take pictures with children and fans at one of the many stations with silly backdrops. It only costs five dollars per picture to allow professional photographers to capture all your best sides and give away a happy memory to a fan. Feeling vindictive? A panel has been set up with popular fanfiction writers from across the country. For only about five dollars per fic, this team of writers will make magic happen and write up any pairing you so choose in any situation -- from as benign to as salacious as you want! (The more lewd it gets, the extra the cost.) None of these writers are profiting personally from this, of course! Oh no, no. It’s all for fun and charity. No lawsuits allowed! But that one writer cosplaying Jeff Winger will tell you it’s the premise of her next big fic, where all the male imPorts enlist Mr. Winger to help them win a huge lawsuit, and as a payment Jeff demands that they [CENSORED].

But perhaps you’re feeling hungry instead? Lunch is served all day in buffet style. Catered by many of the most expensive eateries in Maurtia Falls, you can find piping hot food to all tastes -- whether it’s sweet and spicy wings from Wingin’ It to a bouillabaisse from Francey Meeting You Here. Lettuce Help has also donated a wide variety of fresh salads if none of the warm food meets your dietary requirements. And if you’re just looking for a hot drink on this cold day, the staff at Brewed Awakening is prepared to make you anything from cappuccino to cocoa. All of this is free of charge, but each of the companies have a tip jar out if you really like what you taste.

If you’re feeling competitive and don’t mind the cold, the largest event of the day is taking place outside. It’s a snow-sculpting competition! Participants are invited to make as large and elaborate of snow sculptures as possible. The grand prize winner will receive $1000 and get their sculpture made into an actual statue outside of the library. This will be handpicked by Petyr Baelish himself, so anyone incorporating mockingbirds will have a clear advantage! Of course, everyone’s a winner here, and there will be several small trophies and prizes handed out to anyone who participates. Do bear in mind you have some steep native competition. One sculptor in particular is making a very convincing (and anatomically correct) homage to recent newlyweds Hermann Gottlieb and Newton Geiszler.

And if none of the offered events catch your interest, no one is stopping you from enjoying what is probably the last snowfall of the season. Have snowball fights, make snow angels, be that jerk who puts snow down your friend’s back. The only limit to your fun is your own imagination! That and some of the killjoy imPorts who are attending the event as well. But hey. That’s not on Ambassador Baelish!

That or I think my opinion on books are the fucking be all and end all and even fucking strangers gotta hear about it.

[either of which possibility is helpful in the end goal of guessing her name.]

Some people are just like that. [Or maybe that's just his grandfather and no one else...] Fine, so you know me and recognize who I am on sight alone. I haven't been keen on showing my face on the communication devices, which means you've seen me before. Am I right?

Pretty close! If you really double down I bet you can go the whole way without asking another question.

[she had technically only ever seen his younger self, after all. it was an answer full of misdirection, but still truthful - the Hazel special.]

[He looks off to the ceiling again, trying to recollect his memories. There is one person he talked to who fits this profile, even though he's never seen what she looked like. Now that he thinks back to that conversation, that person and this one here now share similarities in mannerism. The only difference is text versus speech, but is that really a big difference at all?]

...Hazel Lockwood. That's what your ID went by at least.

Hey, not bad! You guys are pretty good at this.

[she gives him a brief round of applause which would have been easy to take as outrageously sardonic if not for the gentle grin on her face. it's all in good fun, for once.]

And you got more out of that than the damn book, so I guess everybody's winning today.

Thanks. [A beat.] I still want my things back.

[He wants his stupidly oversized coats.]

Hey, listen, they're too fucking big on me so I'm not getting shit outta them.

[she ought to know, having once stolen one for Fanport like the incredibly inconsiderate housemate she is.]

You can come swing by my house whenever and pick them up, or I can just dump them at yours if you wanna be lazy about it. Won't even charge a delivery fee since you guessed my name.

[His coats are too big for most people because swol is a joestar family trait (parts 1-3 only.)]

I'll come to your place when I find a good time. Easier that way. [He doesn't like relying on others to do things for him because he finds most people to be unreliable, due to having a ridiculous standard of reliability.] Besides, I figure there might be other things I don't want you to worry about carrying.

[Mementos and other things... he doesn't like other people peering into his life, even if it's just through his belongings. If it was a family member it wouldn't be as big a deal, but he prefers his privacy and wants to reclaim what's his.]

Sure, sure, whatever. Lemme write the address down before I forget.

[the nice thing about being in a library is that it's basically a breeding ground for scraps of paper. Hazel opens and closes her tower of books until one produces an unneeded receipt, then proceeds to begin scribbling her address down with a pen fished out of her pocket.]

This shit's been through a couple hands since I packed it up, so I'm not taking any flak if there's any broken crap. If they left it the way I boxed it everything oughta be fine.

[she likes to think that she's pretty good at keeping things other than her own life from breaking, if she does say so herself. ...even if she has to get other people to move said boxes, thanks to her height.]

[He'll take the scrap paper once she finishes writing the address down. Immediately he notices that the address she wrote is the same one as Josuke's. Hm.]

I won't complain. Thanks. [He pockets the scrap paper.] I only really want my coats and hats. Knowing myself, the boxes must be mostly that.

[completely unaware that she's potentially divulged more than just her place of residence, Hazel nods blithely at his thanks.]

Yeah, there wasn't really all that much to pack up. There was, like, this really fucking hideous sweater? And an aquarium uniform.

[but aside from that, not very much beyond the coats and hats that he'd already mentioned. she taps a finger pensively to her cheek, gently fussing with the stitches there, when a thought hits her.]

...oh, and some books. Maybe the last you had better luck with grabbing something less shitty.

[A hideous sweater. That doesn't sound like him at that age. Unless it was a sentimental gift of some kind - he'd at least keep it, even if he would absolutely never wear it publicly.]

Hopefully. [He stands up from his seat, leaving the book he picked out abandoned on the table. The staff will be able to remember where it should go better than he can.] I'll give you a call before I come to get anything. I actually live nearby this area, so it won't be hard.

[Maybe he'll neurotically time it so that Josuke won't be around, if they really are living together.]

Sure, anytime's fine. I'll try and blow through those books before then so I can bitch at you if they end up being clunkers.

[she shakes one of the other, nonrecommended books of hers at him teasingly before dropping it off the stack and onto the table proper. they're going to see each other again very soon, no need to artificially extend the conversation.

and, you know. she fully intends to go dig up those books and get a head start on that later. mysteries are no laughing matter.]
