MASK OR MENACE

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Nonah Art Museum
WHEN: July 18th
WHAT: This month's swear-in
WARNINGS: Swear-ins never have violence what are you talking about

Lights! Camera! Attitude!

Attendees at this summer swear in will find an entrance more suited to a Hollywood awards ceremony than a dignified government-sponsored event. Outside of Nonah's acclaimed art museum is a long red carpet, dozens of paparazzi and hundreds of fans. They won't be allowed into the swear-in itself, but there's only one entrance to the event — enjoy the attention, or at least try to endure it?



"What are your plans for winning America's Top ImPort contest?" "Will you record birthday wishes for my friend? I'm streaming it for her right now!" "Is [INSERT SCANDALOUS RUMOR HERE] really true?!" And, of course, there's the general buzz of the crowd. Whether or not you indulge any members of the peanut gallery, make sure to strike a pose for the cameras! Or if you can live with looking really goofy when they catch you off guard, hey, it's your life.( Do your little thing on the catwalk )

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Jeopardy & two secret OTO bases
WHEN: November 12th
WHAT: It's time to take down the last of OTO
WARNINGS: Violence, spiders

Jeopardy does not seem that different than normal today- besides the sudden influx of imPorts heading to specific locations with determined looks and the small gatherings of natives curiously following along behind them to see just how the latest catastrophe will shake out. You’d think the OTO would be swarming the scene, with the ritual date at hand and all. But everything is more or less calm.

Too calm.



( Let's punch some robots ) As the robots are fought to a stand-still, THE RITUAL FINALLY TAKES PLACE.

However, even as half the city is covered in a dust cloud and many imPorts leave the battle to face the final outcome of that ritual, the OTO refuses to simply wave the white flag. Any robots left will simply begin self-destructing, trying to take out as many imPorts and natives with it as possible. They need to be thrown into space, turned off, or otherwise taken care of before they take the city down in a blaze of spider glory.

Once the blowing up ends, imPorts have a choice. They can go join in the ritual aftermath or, through means mechanical or magical, trace the signals that were sent to the spider-bots to the last couple of OTO base strongholds. This will be the end of the OTO as we know it, take a moment to bask in the moment. Then head out to take them down.
