Great PLOTS of Land

Salutations CnC!

Have I got a plot for you! November 15th several imPorts of the city are going to be putting on a little festival in the spirit of heroic fellowship. The location is TBA.

Or otherwise known as HERO CAMP!

Its a completely free and voluntary festival of training and cooperation lasting three days. The intention is to give those imPorts who come from mundane backgrounds a chance to temper themselves into the best heroes they can be. Not to mention to bring the imPort community together and celebrate their unique and growing culture.


HOW THIS WORKS:

For all intents and purposes this will act like an open log, but organized by volunteers to offer training on their select craft or trade. Volunteers come in many types.

Teachers: These are any imports with skills, techniques, tactics, etc that can be taught or passed on to fellow imports. Weapon training, hand to hand, magic, first aid, power tactics, everything is viable. Heck, if you just want to stand on a box and lecture people about the values of being a hero or hold a Q&A about the history of Vulcanus, GO FOR IT! Make a log and teach those that tag you your skills!

Students: Grasshopper! These are any imPorts interested in being taught. (Dur) While three days isn't enough to become a grandmaster of the chosen skill, at least (with practice) you can learn the basics. Freely tag any log you think your character would be interested in learning. Or, do you see a familiar face? Go bug them while they are trying to focus. Go on. You know you want to.

Sponsor/vendor: Maybe you aren't the fighting type. Or you just have an eye for opportunity! With so much of the community coming together for an event like this, setting up shop would be a great way to get your name/Shop/Company/Organization out there for the imPort world to see. Want to be there to patch up those inevitable boo boos us rowdy hero-types are going to accumulate? Set up a first aid tent! Or maybe you have a shop/resturant/bar and realize the importance of product placement. Join the food court! Either as a donation to the community or for a "fair" price! We're all looking out for each other, right?

Other: Practically anything you can think of that doesn't already fall into a role described above. Its a festive event, so why not just chill out with your buddies and have a good time. But maybe you have other intentions. Secret intentions. Heck, if I was covertly looking to recruit new members into my Organization, this is the place I would look. And what about you not so Paragon members of the community? Can you think of a better way to gauge the strength of other imPorts that may try and stand in your way at some point down the road?

NOTICE: This is an open invitation event to ALL of the heroic community. Rumor has a certain NPC vigilante group(*coughPhantasmcough*) might be crashing the party. Characters are free to react as they see fit.

This isn't necessarily a sign up post, but feel free to drop a comment with what you think your character might be able to offer or any questions you might have! Especially if its a flavor addition.

I'm also down for any suggestions or plotting ideas you might have.

u know scatty will be there, even if she is super upset still
and i feel like the clinic might do the first aid thing, but i will get back to you on that

Yako will certainly be signing up as a student for more physically-oriented skills! AND NO I DONT CARE IF THIS IS THE WRONG ACCOUNT... She'd offer "lessons" but "being perceptive" is hard to teach.

Bradbury might also get involved in this, but I'll get back to you on that...

Abed is going to be all over learning a thing for this festival! He'll probably go for first aid or power tactics or something. I'll figure it out when logs roll around.

He'd also be really interested in finding or putting together a thing about imPort representation in the media in this dimension! Which would probably be half about his totally definitely v. subtle encouragement to push for an imPort-based reality TV show. He really wants that show so he can watch it guys. Or maybe he'll look for a Cougar Town fan club while he's at it.

I am still all over this yes please. Wild Tiger can show up in his suit and pretend like he's the world's best mentor. He is good at being encouraging, at least.

Minako will absolutely be there as a student! She's always interested in learning a little more, especially since... she's mostly self-taught...

Can I ask about this Phantasm-crashing-the-party mention? Seeing as how Kurt's currently the school's Headmaster, and I didn't know that this was even taking place there, much less potentially dealing with one of the vigilante groups... It's kind of something I'd like a little more information about.

I did say earlier that Kurt/The Institute would be happy to offer the facilities and staff, which remains true. I'm just a little peeved to find out now that this is happening at the Institute when I was told it would likely be happening in Central Park, and that was the last I heard about it. As the player of the character who runs the school, I should think the change in venue is something I deserve a heads-up about. Just for future reference.

Saber can teach some people about chivalry and how to use a sword.

Power Girl will be showing up to this! Probably offer to teach someone how to throw a good punch or kick. Or just how much power to exert when doing so. She's mentoring her own team at her pull point, so she can be pretty good at it.
