THE MAJORITY REPORT: AUGUST 10TH, 2015

There's a happy buzz in the air about next week's Swearing-In -- especially after the tell-all that the previous month had wrought. Plenty of locals will be flocking in to (hopefully!) catch some imPort glimpses. Should be a grand old time!

IMPORTNET SENSATION
With a new influx of imPorts, De Chima has been kickstarting additional social media platforms to feature imPorted personalities. Along with UStube and the hyper patriotic BlueTube, there's now MeTube for your online perusal! MeTube is intended for a younger generation and will feature some fresh fanfare video about at least one imPort daily. Keep a keen eye open, because you might come across something about YOU one of these days. After all, there's no shortage of fandom attention.

URBAN OUTSIDERS
According to unnamed sources in the White House, President Freemason is considering a proposal to expand imPorts into a new city. She has her eye on a West Coast destination. Whispering lips claim that the President is concerned about a Soviet attack on Los Angeles, and an imPort presence there would help safeguard the populace.

A TITANIC CHANGE IN THE CLUB BUSINESS
With the exPort of Oswald Cobblepot, the Iceberg Lounge is changing hands. Rumor has it that the new owners are planning to monopolize the area.

SECURITY CHECK
Senator Haik has made a statement with regards to the imPort informational breach of the previous Swearing-In. In the Senator's statement, he claims that Soviet spies WERE INDEED responsible for the hacking and consequential leak of information about certain imPorts, and that the Department of Homeland Security could not deny nor confirm if anything said about these imPorts was true. The Congressional Intelligence Committee is holding three conferences with the CIA to determine the severity of this attack, and the appropriate response.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from YELLOW to ORANGE in response to Senator Haik's statement.

Psh. This mysterious entrepreneur can just try to "monopolize" Maurtia Falls. But if they try and touch my pub I'll "monopolize" their butt with my boot.

[brushoff]

Cumberput's gone? Well thank heavens.

video;

[debauchewy]

Deserving of that? Now I regret never meeting him. Or did yo u not like him because he was boring?

video;

[brushoff]

I didn't like him because he was an ugly little man who thought he was more important than he actually was.

video;

[debauchewy]

Sometimes I forget how shallow you can be.

video;

[brushoff]

I'm not shallow! I simply have discerning tastes.

[ he's shallow ]

video;

[debauchewy]

That's a fancy way to word it, yes. Is 'shallow' ugly to you too?

[The most.]

video;

[brushoff]

Shallow implies that I don't have depth. I have plenty of depth.

video;

[debauchewy]

Do you? [He sounds honestly confused!]

video;

[brushoff]

What's with that tone? [ where he's just affronted ]

video

[debauchewy]

The West Coast? Hm. Does anyone have any experience over there? How is it? [If that happens anyway, but hey, new area, all right then.]

[Some sounds off video, he's looking down as he speaks, making houses of cards at the countertop infront of him]

video.

[selfequipped]

No one, and I mean no one, wants to live in Los Angeles. Plus, it's so far from everything!

[But mostly, she has a chip on her shoulder about LA.]

video.

[debauchewy]

And why is that?

video.

[selfequipped]

Smog. Traffic. No good public transit. The beaches are weirdly sketchier than they are in New York.

Need I go on?

Oh, and if the traffic isn't emphasized enough: traffic. Emphatically traffic. It's a good thing I actually stopped driving there! [Read: her car was stolen from her by an evil long-time Avengers villain.]

video.

[debauchewy]

Weirdly sketchier? I didn't even realize New York was known for it's beaches.

Well smog, traffic, public transit, and beaches I can get passed, anything else? How's the people?

[Good thing he doesn't drive and only uses public transit because it's ridiculous and terrible.]

video.

[selfequipped]

Coney Island! Coney Island! [No one should ever go in the water at Coney Island.

She pauses.]

Oh, the people are terrible. [Again, biased.]

video.

[debauchewy]

Coney Island, I'm still lost I'm afraid.

Terrible? And there's nothing that can be done? Perhaps our influence could be for the best.

video.

[selfequipped]

Go to New York City and take the D train to Brooklyn until it won't run anymore. [It's the best she can do without telling him to just look it up.]

It's a large city, very set in its ways.

Do you want to be responsible for that? Look at what happened when they tried with Maurtia Falls. [Which is ... also not sincere. She's not entirely clear on what happened there, and she had been gone for so long to herself that her catch up and notes aren't helping her.

But she's trying.]

Superheroes also, you know, tried to save it in my world. It's kind of a punchline.

video.

[debauchewy]

Well I was just there. [Looting, killing, partying.] But perhaps next time I'll explore a bit more, you seem like the person I should go to then with questions and advice.

Tried to save LA?

And I rather like Maurtia Falls.

video.

[selfequipped]

You can definitely ask about New York City advice, though a lot of us come from there. [So, she's saying that he can ask for multiple opinions.]

And yeah, they tried to save it, then they went back to the west coast. It's a whole thing. [Clint had definitely rolled his eyes about her dramatic need to go out west.

She doesn't blame him now.]

And I can't tell you how I like it now. For me, it's been a while, and I don't know if anything's changed in the time between that and the ... [Whatever that mess apparently is. But Loki left, so that's something.]

video.

[shuckit]

Don't care, so long as it's not Denver.

What's wrong with Los Angeles?

video.

[selfequipped]

Everyone is evil.

What's wrong with Denver?

video.

[shuckit]

Everyone is crazy.

[ and dead. also dead. well, not here, but it's just not a good place for his head to be. ]

What's in Los Angeles that makes people evil? Or is that just where the evil shanks convention gets held?

video.

[selfequipped]

That one might not be universal, but we can skip Colorado altogether. [Her mother died there. Which isn't a way of besmirching its record forever, but ...]

And it's generally the latter. There's something about the vanity and greed about Los Angeles that just corrupts almost everyone.

Not everyone everyone, I should be clear. But most everyone.

video.

[shuckit]

Sounds good to me. [ he doubts it is universal, since this world is a lot different than what made denver terrible in his. but all the same, he'd just rather not go. ]

Gross. I'm good marking that one off the list if you are. [ no thank you to all that noise ] Where would you put a new porter city?
