King Con is a yearly pop culture convention in the heart of New York City that draws thousands of geeks from all over the continent. Comics, TV shows, games, anime - you name it, they have it. Celebrity guests, panels, cosplay contests, vendors, weird Korean pop music, ViewTube personalities... every branch of geekdom can find what they love the most. The con is a three-day long weekend event filled with all kinds of people - most of them in costumes. This year, it promises to be even bigger as geeks from the AV trickle through to explore new fandoms, or watch their favorite TV show that was not cancelled on this side of the rip.

This year, there is also going to be a little extra excitement.

A group of (very nerdy) people decided to make the main day of the con (Saturday) even more of an event - by crashing it. The idea is that they will try to recreate all kinds of geeky situations for the people at the con to deal with; whether it is an attack of vaccum-cleaner-looking mechanical alien machines, or turning two groups of superhero cosplayers against each other, they will trigger multiple crises at once at various points of the convention center. They are geeky, they are creative, they are all for wreaking havoc, and they are not against collateral damage. Some of them are mutants with powers useful to the cause; others are tech-savvy humans that know how to pull off some movie grade special effects. They will put all of this to good work to make people believe things are serious.

The practical side: This miniplot offers the opportunity for people to start individual threads, and pick their own geeky references. The convention center setting is big enough that people can RP out various crisis situations independently from each other. The primary goal of the tricksters is not to cause serious casualties or kill people - they simply want to cause trouble in the geekiest ways possible, so the plot is more "superhero shenanigans" than "war zone." Of course things (or powers) might get out of hand, and require some brawling along the way.

I'd like to offer AV Devon at least for such fun! You're a big fan of the Day After Tomorrow eh? Blizzard! Geostorm was your thing this year? Oh we got you covered.

This sounds exciting! Glitch is up for this for sure.
