The First Annual Fandom High Convention- Community Center- Sunday morning/afternoon

As it turned out, conventions were super easy to organize when you had the power to make everything happen, so guess what you had to deal with today, Fandom! That's right, overnight the community center had been taken over by as many ~~NPC~~ fans of Fandom High that could possibly fit in it, and everyone was so happy to be able to mingle with other fans, or share fan art, or buy merchanise, because oh yes, there was merchandise.

Not to worry, though, Fandom: the original six fans were the only ones who could make anything happen to you. So at least you only had to worry about six people ruining your lives! Bright side!

So come one, come all, and see whether or not you got creeped out by people wearing shirts with your face on them!

Where there are booths set up for you to buy things or check out tons of cool ~~moddable~~ stuff.

Feel free to mod panels that you might be seeing, or shows that might be going on, and please note if your ping is open or not!

Check back here later!

What, use SDCC for inspiration? Crazy talk.

This was where you'd find Megan most of the time, managing things while walking around with a shirt reading "SHOWRUNNER - ASK ME HOW!" Because she wanted to brag. Not because you could have her ring, which was totally even screenprinted onto her shirt because Megan hadn't ever even heard the word 'subtle.' Also while she was technically running the convention, it was easy to make things happen the way she wanted them to happen, so mainly she was here to gawk at anyone famous who might wander by.

Ooh, maybe she could get one of them to run a panel!

Kara was currently standing in line for "Diversity in Fandom: Having Werewolves AND Vampires Wasn't What We Meant" in cosplay for her favorite character ever: Zoe Winchester.

She was also taking tons of pictures with her phone and tweeting up a storm, all the while annoying her linemates with her stories of how she could teleport now and didn't really need to stand in line, but it wouldn't be fair to the mundanes to cheat like that.

[OOC: So open.]

Kelsi had never been to a convention before, and she was determined to enjoy everything. She bounced from booth to booth -- buying an Anakin action figure here, getting some Sterek fanart signed there, and filling her bag with every single freebie imaginable.

She ended up at a table near the edge of the convention center, looking a little dazed as she chowed down on a sandwich from Jeff, God of Biscuits. A package of cookies sat near the edge of the table in a naked attempt at bribing characters to sit down with her.

Astrid was bopping around the convention with a pen tucked behind her ear and a notepad in hand, because she just had to get all the autographs before she left. She planned to come back, of course, but she had class tomorrow, and she was pretty sure class was more important than giving hot actors leather pants.

She just hoped her powers worked long-distance, just in case.

Okay, Zoe had been listening to the radio lately, but there was a difference between hearing about weird people and actually seeing a round woman dressed up like you.

"Oh, this is what going crazy feels like," she said, looking around.

Kara, who had been so babbly when confronted by her other idols, turned silent when seeing Zoe.

"H--"

Cordelia had figured out on Friday that something was wrong, and she'd decided that hey, this town had a Buffy, so she could just sit this one out and do her nails where people weren't crazy.

But by Sunday curiosity had gotten the better of her, and she decided to head down and see what was happening, at least for five minutes. She could only handle so much time around so many nerds.

"Hey, where's the stuff with my face on it?"

Barbossa gave her a toothy smile.

...maybe Barbossa shouldn't do that.

"Ahoy, wench."

"Hi- Oh god," Megan greeted him. "Wow, those teeth are really authentic. Talk about being committed to character!"

"Would ye like an autograph?" Barbossa asked. "Only $50!"

Pirate.

"How about you give me one for free?" Megan smiled.

Because she'd spent most of her money on Derek-autographed cups.

"Hello," Zoe said, unable to keep from smirking. "Having fun?"

She had to admit, at least the woman had good taste.

A very large (well, large enough to seat a man and his dog comfortably) flying rocket... thing... burst into the panel hall through a hole in the fabric of space/time that hadn't been there before and wasn't there after, either. (Maybe it was just impromptu paper-mache.)

"Hello, students!" Jim declared ebulliently. "Are you ready to learn about the great Worm-Shaped Mysteries of the Universe?!?!"

His arrival could've been more dramatic. Like if he'd actually managed to make it into one of the panel halls, instead of dropping in on top of an autograph table. But. Y'know. Small steps.

[[ open if you... really want to deal with jim! ]]

Kara shook her head rapidly. "Very much, yes. You're really her?!"

Patrick didn't like the idea of making the exhibitors give him things for free, so he made several runs between to the nearest ATM and made it give him money. Because it wasn't a person, so it was okay. And then he would use his hard-earned money to buy stuff. Capitalism!

Patrick was so excited to attend the "Man Fans of Fandom: Fandom High for the Boys" panel, but it turned out to be just a half dozen guys standing by concessions and talking about how much they missed Batman since he got written out on Friday.

Was Patrick going to volunteer that he was the one who took Batman out? No. No, he was not.

[OOC: Open!]

The Tick may have been here, but he wasn't happy about it. Oh, no! He had a City to protect! His City! THE City! He needed to investigate and see what he could do about this whole thing!

But to do that, he'd need a disguise. He would need... an Anakin Skywalker mask.

"I'm not sure this is going to work," The Tick mused as the mask failed to stretch over his chin.

Fine. The Anakin Skywalker mask would just be a souvenir.

Kenzi was here incognita. Well, as incognita as she got: blonde wig, sunglasses to cover the eyes, a little less black clothing than usual. She was seriously considering getting a booth, and selling any worthless crap she could find as souvenirs, even though the Sterek cups had done very nicely yesterday. Thanks, guys.

Also, she hadn't thought anything could really weird her out? ... it was interesting to be this wrong.

There had to be easier targets than fanboys, but if they existed, Kenzi couldn't think of 'em.

"Anybody want to buy commemorative Gremlin Repellant? You can't be too careful while we're here."

"Is Gremlin Repellant even a thing on the show? I don't--" Patrick stumbled slightly when he saw that it was a pretty girl in modern dress and apparently some kind of a disguise selling it. Be cool, Patrick. Be cool. "I don't remember seeing that ever get used before."

"It was being sold to the newbies one summer," Kenzi said jauntily, holding up a can of Lemon Pledge with a new wrapper on it. "Fortunately, I managed to scam a stockpile of it from Fosse. Look! He even autographed it!"

No, he did not, but who would know the difference? That scrawl looked authentic!
