DestinyCon!
DestinyCon!
_____Sounds like it's time for DestinyCon, the first premiere Manga/Movie/Gaming convention to hit the streets of this tired old city! This glorious new convention will come about within the next few weeks, and those interested in attending a convention rife with unusual booths, exciting events and a tantalizing new raffle are encouraged to attend! Signups are simple, and booths are cheap and easy to come by for your avid interests!
______But who's running the show? DestinyCon is sponsored by a nonprofit organization, and all the proceeds generated from the convention's success are routed back to various charities, to the Terrorist Survivor Foundation or the Destiny City Healthcare Foundation. This means all the money generated from renting booths goes straight to these charities!
The idea for the DestinyCon stemmed from the minds of the Information division within the Negaverse. The option remains open for any characters within the division to solo or roleplay out the method by which they've uncovered the city's inclination toward a con. For example, your character could interview various individuals using questions like, "what would you like to see happen in the coming months to spruce up DC life?" or various others to instigate answers pointing toward a convention. ICly it will be assumed that Information garnered the input needed to determine that the Negaverse will profit heavily from a convention.
______What does DestinyCon entail? DestinyCon is aimed toward any anime or manga fandoms, any favorite movies, or any beloved games that you'd love to see! Be it Star Wars or DNAngel, Assassin's Creed or Bleach, you can find it all at DestinyCon. Otherwise, feel free to rent your own booth and advertise your handmade creations dedicated to your favorite fandoms!
DestinyCon is a large-scale operation run primarily by the Infiltration branch at General Osumilite's instruction. Within DestinyCon, various officers from all branches will run booths as civilians and sell enchanted merchandise that will drain energy when held. This is an excellent means for individuals within the Negaverse to gain experience draining energy, as well as facilitate the stockpile that the Negaverse needs, as noted in the previous meeting. A number of generals will be present to enchant the aforementioned items for the booths, and they will linger behind the scenes in the employee-only area of the convention center. Infiltration characters are free to write solos or roleplays pertaining to their involvement before the convention opens, such as hosting a radio commercial or passing out fliers to various citizens.
______When is DestinyCon opening? Destiny's largest fandom-centric convention will open in the coming weeks, with the target date being September 15th. Preorder tickets are available now! See your local DestinyCon certified staff member to purchase passes. Otherwise, you can pay at the door with an additional ten dollar fee.
During the signup period, the Negaverse will be constructing the booth areas and printing raffle tickets, as well as enchanting items to stockpile for the convention. Convention center uniforms will also need to be either crafted or stolen, or otherwise supplied by agents who work in clothing stores. SpecOps branch officers and GenOps officers who wish to work as security will be coached on the appropriate responses to both unruly citizens and senshi threat.
______What's this I hear about booths? Loads of booths are available for rent to anime, movie, and videogame enthusiasts! Have a talent? Have a fandom? Combine them both and make some money at DestinyCon! Anyone with a penchant for fandoms and salesmanship are welcome! The cost to reserve a booth is $20, and once the payment is made, the DestinyCon certified staff member will provide you with a pre-opening pass to set up your booth the day before opening. Feel free to ask the staff for assistance or further questions!
It seemed a prudent decision to allow civilians to create their own booths full of ordinary merchandise as a way to stave off suspicion from the Negaverse-hosted booths. However, the Negaverse needed the majority of the setup period to finish with their nefarious activities, and as a result, booth renters are only allotted a 24 hour period. However, the presence of normal booths was crucial to maintaining an air of innocence to the convention. Any booth-renting characters are free to write solos or roleplays pertaining to their booth setup with their friends.
As an additional note: All booth-renting characters will be accompanied by an NPC of your choice to help run the booth. This is purely so your character can leave their stand occasionally to peruse the wares around the convention.
______What about that raffle? Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the entrance to the convention center! Each ticket is purchased through buying goods at the various booths! Evert $5.00 worth of merchandise amounts to one ticket, so save your receipts and redeem them throughout the convention! Prizes range from signed manga books, movie posters, collector's merchandise, to an alluring grand prize!
Most of the raffle ticket items are heavily enchanted to drain energy, with the grand prize being the most potent of all. The raffle winners will be announced at the end of the event, and winners will be invited to take the stage and claim their prizes. Any possible fainting is likely passed off as a fit of excitement.
Who knows what DestinyCon will have to offer? Will everything go off without a hitch, or will the senshi and knight populace catch on to the wrongdoings therein? Will a lurking deceiver throw the convention into further turmoil? Sign up to find out!
