MAY 18 - 25
STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR
THE LOVE BUNNY
DE CHIMA
Wherever you happen to be in De Chima, as long as there's an elevator around, it's fair game. Are you visiting a friend in an apartment complex? Visiting a set of offices? Getting your teeth checked out? Or maybe there's a really rad, hidden comic book store you heard about on the top floor of the highest building in town! Whatever the reason, in the lobby, you'll see someone who looks like she's cosplaying, and having an absolute blast doing so. It's not entirely clear what she's cosplaying as, but nobody would dress like that on an everyday basis, right...?
If you write her off without thinking much about it, that wouldn't be much of a surprise; she's as innocuous as they get. She's a young, blonde woman - probably a teenager, though it's hard to tell - with her hair pulled into high pigtails, bangs pulled back with a headband with two bright pink bunny ears perched atop her head. The rest of her outfit is just as outrageously pink, a tight corset over a white t-shirt, a pleated pink skirt, go-go boots and thick black leggings with a bright pink wand (complete with a plastic bunny head attached to the tip) clutched tightly in one hand. Honestly, she looks to be a bit of a wreck, but that's only to be expected from someone young flexing their costume making skills for the first time.
It's only after you glide past her and onto the elevator that you realize that something's wrong. Halfway through your ascent or descent, the entire thing shudders, the lights flicker, and the gears slowly grind to a halt. The speaker in the elevator comes to life, somehow, and a bright, cheery giggle fills the elevator.
"Stop in the name of love! You've been caught byyyyyyyy... The Love Bunny! Cute, right? Just like me! I wish you could see how cute I am, but that would defeat the point, so you'll just have to take my word for it. The world's become such a dreary place, hasn't it? We spend so much time staring down at our phones that we never take the chance to look at each other, and find our one true loves!" She sighs, a dreamy, faraway sound. "Oh, but don't worry - I don't expect you to have to kiss. All sorts of love is beautiful, even if romance is the pinnacle of all love. I'm not letting you out, so you might as well try to get along! Toodles!"
If your characters don't manage to get out by the one hour mark, the speakers will come to life once again, this time with a distinct pout in the Love Bunny's voice. "Oh, poo, you're no fun. But I'm a hero, not a villain, so it's not like I'd trap you in there forever. Go on, and live your sad little loveless lives - just know that I'm rooting for you! Bye-byeeeee!" And with that, the building's electricity will come back to life, and your characters will be freed once more.
MAY 18 - 25
MUSICAL MAYHEM
The Copacabana Conductor
Maurtia Falls
Feel that fascinating rhythm moving to your feet? Feel your ass gyrating to that titillating beat? The answer is yes, yes you do. Whether you wanted to or not. The normally dangerous streets of Maurtia Falls have taken on an even more treacherous edge (for your dignity, at least). It started with a sudden, sharp up-tick in what appeared to be street performers. Then a couple acapella flash mobs. Some questioned whether acapella flash mob is even a thing, but who knows? Maybe some particularly deranged imPort brought the craze with them. The strange man skipping around in spandex with hand-drawn musical notes all over it seems suspect, especially since he's always clutching that tacky little recorder close to his chest, but it’s hard to tell these days. The middle of the month always has so many odd new imPorts arriving.
Towards the middle of the day, the news has changed from reporting these sightings as some strange performance art in the city to declaring them a clear act of super-powered malice, accompanied only by - you guessed it - the shrill piping of a recorder, inducting all around them into spontaneous song-and-dance. ImPorts with particularly good hearing may hear a shrill voice cheering, "there's no day but today for this!" or "enough of the classics; it's time to get thoroughly modern!" or, particularly irritatingly, "All I ask of you is to stand up!"
The fact the news anchors sing this report just underscores the present menace (you know what we mean). The majority of people seem to be performing their day to day while acting out numbers based on famous musicals, but any tune and dance sequence people can manage (or not, as the many petty thieves singing to Oliver! horribly screech as you pass by) is fair game, from country to pop to Klingon Opera.
Particularly news obsessed imPorts may notice that all this musical fanfare was first reported happening near the Maurtia Falls City Stage Theater. Investigators better be ready to put on their best Javert, however, as there’s no avoiding facing (and joining in) the music as you get closer to the heart of the problem.
MAY 18
ZOO(TLOOSE)
Doctor Dolots
Nonah
Police sirens aren’t that uncommon a sound, unfortunately. However, the occasional lion’s roar and outraged peacock squawk piercing through the familiar noise is a new one. Hover cars have surrounded the Nonah zoo, as much keeping the gawking public out as they are trying (and often failing) at keeping the loose animals in. Only imPorts are allowed to pass the tape line to approach the unusual threat. Known unregistered and even vigilante or villain imPorts are given the side-eye, but not questioned (what, are they going to give the tigers nightmares?), but registered imPorts are giving a bit of a heads up by the local civil servants. They aren’t sure if it’s a victim or the cause, but a lieutenant heard loud sobbing from inside the cave of the black bear enclosure before he was forced out by a crowd of vengeful lemurs. Anyone that doesn't want to have to directly deal with Nonah’s finest and head into the zoo itself still has plenty to do, however. Only a fraction of the animals have successfully been kept inside.
Behind the tape and in neighboring areas of the city everything is, well, a zoo. Animals are running everywhere. Elephants are competing with orangutans for fresh boiled peanuts, while otters have taken over public restrooms and are having the time of their lives playing with the automatic toilets. There has also been a disturbing team up of lions, tigers, and polar bears, while cheetahs race past them towards the most appealing prey of zebra, moose, and people.
It will be better for imPort public image to capture rather than harm the animals, but at the end of the day the choice is yours.
MAY 25
WATER WORLD
Marina
Heropa
Sun and fun often bring shouts of delight, but the cries ringing out over the waves are from panic. The equipment keeping the Oceania party platform and artificial reef has malfunctioned due to the excessive weight — social scenester Evan Caulfield's party has way too many guests to celebrate his 25th birthday, it seems! A few nearby pleasure craft approach the site of the sinking soiree, but they just don't have the capacity to bring everyone aboad.
Word quickly reaches the shore, filtered through social media from all the selfies attendees are taking — #sinking #help #thewetlook — and emergency services urge any heroes in the area to come and help.
The scene is chaotic, but just off the shore, a tall, muscular Hispanic woman in her early 40s climbs to the top of a yacht and shouts to get everyone's attention. Decked out in a bright wetsuit that could be a superhero's costume or a fashionable diving outfit, she pumps a fist into the air. "Come on, everyone! We've got to come together and save these people!"
With that, she dives into the water and starts swimming freakishly fast toward the disaster site. She never seems to come up for air, but when she does surface to aid the bewildered partiers, she does a great job making sure they don't go under.
Well, hero? What are you waiting for?
WHERE: All four cities.

obviously not for sport, but she's content to watch him struggle a bit longer.]
I could kill it. Very easily. Will it step aside, so I can do so?
no subject
[That might be a little bit of a deal for a human, but given being a droid, it's a... ah, particular sensitive subject.
He'd rather struggle a little more, because this is a conversation that needs to be had now, and he proceeds to do so, adjusting his grip.]
no subject
Yes. Does it require help or not?
no subject
[He does. He's losing grip, especially with this distraction.]
no subject
I know what I said, and I will say it one more time before leaving it to be crushed: does it need help?
no subject
What he does do, however, is glance to the moose, and then give it a shove rather than hold it in place, proceeding to throw himself to get the fuck out of the way.
Now the moose sure is charging toward whatever else nearby which is Shale. Take that, rock person.
Sorry, Shale.]cw animal death ohhh this gon get nasty
the moose charges and it's hardly the most intimidating thing shale's faced charging at her. try three darkspawn trolls! she winds up a punch and throws all her strength into it when the moose gets close enough.
it's nasty. there's not much left of the poor moose's head when she's done, having been pushed back about an inch by the momentum. shale pulls her fist out of the moose and flicks some of the gore off, letting the body fall to the floor. she cocks her head at K2.]
Woops.
im so sorry mods
Well, I suppose that's a resolution.
[Not a good one. But he didn't kill it, so he's not the one who's going to get in trouble here, if there's any repercussions for this. Instead he looks over Shale, not used to being rivaled in size by someone else here.]
What is your name?
I'M NOT
I am called Shale.
no subject
No. You're called "it."
[Sure hope she doesn't get offended as easily as he does.]
no subject
Clever. Almost as clever as my previous master-- tell me, it clearly has experience with being regarded as something of an object, no?
no subject
[But he's not going to stop calling her "it" if she doesn't stop it herself.]
no subject
[this is rare, k2. be HONOURED.]
no subject
K-2SO. I use "he."
no subject
Are you... a Golem of steel?
no subject
I'm a droid. Are you a Golem?
no subject
[BEFORE YOU GET ANY IDEAS...]
Many humans here have taken issue with that. Do they treat you the same?
no subject
no subject
[said with another kick to the moose.]
Do you have anyone here that might try to take control? I do not mind... removing them from the equation for you.
no subject
Very kind of you. I think I have myself handled, but the offer is appreciated, Shale. I can tell you're very skilled at metaphorical subtraction.
[ You know, the dead moose. ]
I don't imagine they're going to be very happy about this.
no subject
[shale looks down at it, back at k2, then shrugs.]
Then they should have thought about this before making the zoo.
no subject
[ She's trying, and really for as rude as Kay seems, he's only rude when the situation calls for it. ]
I've never been to a zoo before now. I assume they aren't all normally like this.
[ Animals everywhere. Etc. ]
no subject
[shale watches a penguin waddle past.]
Never see a human in a cage, do you?
no subject
[ Also watches said penguin. He has no idea why he's filled with the compulsion to pick it up. He just really wants to- but refrains. ]
no subject
[guess what? SHALE KICKS THE PENGUIN.]
