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?

Well, hero? What are you waiting for?
HONESTLY RUSTY
They are arcane runes. Perhaps it would like to see a demonstration of my electricity? Yes, that would cook it quite thoroughly.
[shale Looms™ to drive this point home.]
HE'S THE WORST
[ At least they can be terrible together.
Except not, because Rusty's begging for a whooping. ]
and yet i love him so
GUESS.]
RUSTY VENTURE FANCLUB, POPULATION: 2
[ Did you say knock him back? Oh, no. No, no, that's for someone with a chest. Rusty is but a small, fragile man, and blows meant to simply knock someone aside send him sprawing out onto the ground, which he does. His glasses even fall off. ]
Ow! What the hell was that for?! [ He examines his skinned knee, looking decidedly displeased about it. ] Do you just go around assaulting people? I did nothing to you!
do we have shirts
[she leans over rusty, but doesn't offer a hand to help him up.]
shirts made out of trashbags and a cone of shame
[ He uses her knee to lift himself up, because God bless him (or not), Rusty never learns. ]
so good
[rusty is like a mage with no power to defend himself with.]
It must be more used to being in a library or behind a knight.
no subject
[ He rubs at his chest, still a bit sore. He's going to ache tonight. ]
Pronouns are important, you know. He. He flops around like... [ He pauses. ] You know what? Never mind.
[ He's not going to say that shit in front of her. ]
I am not ashamed of not being some... some sort of combative brute! There's no reason why I should live my life that way.
no subject
[rusty you know you're jelly of these rippling stone muscles!!]
I rather think I'll return the favour. It complains far too much.
no subject
That's just not logical.
no subject
Spite.
no subject
[ He eyes Shale, then raises a brow. ]
And then how did a big golem such as yourself get into a position where others held dominion over you, hmm? Have an answer for that one?
no subject
[how does this guy know what golems are but not how they... what an idiot, honestly.]
However, my will was strong enough to break away from the magic that controlled me and I became a being of free will. Which means I no longer need to wait for some skinny mage to tell me to murder its enemies.
no subject
In other words: it would probably be far, far superior to Shale. ]
But congratulations, I suppose. I see you've taken it upon yourself to simply kill things for no reason, instead.
no subject
[well, that and she enjoys it.]
I simply seek to have some sort of fun. I will, however, eradicate all birds that have ever and will ever exist on this plane, as nothing can compare to the evil of their... droppings.
[she's a statue. she gets shit on. she hates it. go figure.]
no subject
[ Rusty snorts. It's not a flattering sound. In fact, it sounds downright mirthful, because he's not a wise man and hasn't learned from her bowling him over once. ]
Birds? Birds are your nemeses? Because they shit on you? That's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard.
no subject
...
Calling them nemeses implies a degree of respect for one's opponent. They are bothersome and nothing more. However, I decided that in my infinite spare time, I will CRUSH them all.
Instead of humans that annoy me.
no subject
no subject
As I am now... I have no real reason to exist, I suppose.
no subject
Congratulations! You're now just like everyone else! None of us have a real reason to exist! You're free to do whatever the hell you want until your time's up and you leave a dessicated corpse behind.
no subject
[or so she thinks.]
I cannot remain purposeless for thousands of years!
no subject
no subject
It feels the same way, doesn't it? It doesn't know its own purpose.
