It's your chance to shine
WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: CAPES Conservation Center
WHEN: June 15th, evening
WHAT: Swear in!!
WARNINGS: None
To celebrate 5 successful FanPorts, FanPop, organizers of the aforementioned convention wanted to do something special and give back to the community. They've teamed up with the Center for Advancement & Protection of Endangered Species (CAPES) to throw the biggest, craziest gala of them all.
Any imPort who doesn't arrive in the appropriate theme (unleashing your inner hero) will be whisked away to a private area where a team of professional designers, stylists, and make-up artists will get them into whatever that imPort thinks suits that theme best, from all in to barely trying... though imPorts should really think about what will make a statement. As the stylists will insist, the bigger, the better.
Only once imPorts are in the appropriate attire will they be allowed to walk the gala's red carpet, where throngs of reporters are just dying to see what unique look will come along next. Feel free to rush past or play to the cameras.
The center has been completely decked out to fit the gala, with wall hangings of animals dressed as superheroes adorning the walls. The largest room, extinction hall, has been completely transformed into a 5-star dining room full of greenery, with strings of lights mimicking starlight dancing across the massive glass ceiling. Each imPort will find that their table, and even their seat, has been assigned, and a cute stuffed animal of an endangered species is waiting for them to remind them of the purpose of the night.
ImPorts are encouraged to explore the center, with many rooms on the first floor containing interactive, virtual exhibits showcasing the plight of the animals. One large room has been turned into a ballroom with famous musicians performing live, and an open bar in the back (where they will be checking ID). One room has a series of photobooths containing props for hero or animal transformations (or both).
The highlight of the event--and the main fundraising aspect--can be found on the second floor, where the rooms have been turned into live stream rooms. These rooms are all clearly labeled, and inside contain various activities imPorts can indulge in while excited fans at home can donate to CAPES to watch. These activities include:
A Casino. ImPorts looking to test their luck can head into a room designed to look like a Vegas casino, where there are several tables set up for imPorts to play Poker, Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarrat. It can be a game for fun or a game for money, so be sure to ask which one's which before sitting down, or be in for a nasty (or unexpected) surprise!
Magic and Mayhem. ImPorts looking to have a little nerdy fun can pop in here, where a few local GMs from FanPort have been brought in to run quick, introductory games to the massively popular tabletop RPG.
Scavenger Hunt. The objective seems simple enough. Each imPort who enters the room is handed a piece of paper containing a series of animals, and the number of each animal they need to find. That's when the volunteer opens the inner door, and reveals several kiddie pools, each filled to the brim with tiny animal toys of varying species. Hurry up, there's only 15 minutes to complete the objective... and there's more than on imPort in there with a list.
Werewolf. Each imPort in the room is handed a slip of paper upon entering, denoting them as a human or werewolf, with a GM from FanPort brought in to moderate. Remember the rules; it's up to the humans to defeat the werewolves, and the werewolves to devour the humans. Don't forget to play smart to win.
Baking Competition. Cooking shows are always popular, and so the room host, comedian Natalie Whyer, has handed every imPort entering the room an extravagant animal-themed pastry, cookie, donut, or cake, escorts them to their well-stocked prep station, and gives them an hour to get it Spot On. The audience watching online hopes they don't.
Throughout the night imPorts will be ushered back to extinction hall for the next round of dinner, catered by famous celebrity chef Demeke Waro. Each course is somehow better than the last, and by dessert one might be too full to ever eat again.
For anyone looking to get away from it all for a few minutes, there's a beautiful greenhouse in the rear of the museum for quiet contemplation and mental battery recharging.
So what do you say imPorts? How much money are you going to help raise for a good cause?
