THE MAJORITY REPORT: MARCH 10TH, 2017Beware the Ides of March! That day is coming up, and with the sudden imPlosion of guilt and regret, you can't tell what someone under duress is bound to do to you just to clean their own soul.

WHAT IS TREND CANNOT DIE
As seen in high fashion magazines, seen on TMI and imPort! Entertainment:
The world of American fashion has turned its eyes to Florida-based design house, House of De Marq, upon announcing a new design label STORMBORN X MARQ in collaboration with imPort, Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen. "We are very excited and honored to be working creatively with Queen Daenerys," was reported in the House of De Marq's official press release this morning. "We shall navigate the liminal spaces of unreality through fashion, and seek inspiration beyond the parameters of the mundane. We shall create a storm of fantasy and fabulousity." Notoriously elusive head designer De Marq, who could not be reached for further comment, has taken to Bwitter, posting blurry images of model fittings, landscapes, and obscure selfies with the hashtags such as #EYEOFTHESTORM, #FASHIONANDBLOOD, #UNBURNTUNTAMED.

The label will contain high end evening wear and jewelry, along with ready-to-wear fashion for professional women, inspired by De Marq's Westerosi muse.

Daenerys, most noted for her social media presence and fashion commentary in imPort entertainment, spoke enthusiastically for the label's future. "There will be a launch announced later this month, I believe, previewing collections to come. Proceeds will go towards Through The Glass, a nonprofit organisation that provides low-income women with professional attire and other career advancement services. Donations towards such a noble endeavour are most welcome."

EAT THE WOO'D
As seen on TMI, THEMport Weekly, and imTV:
Sources are reporting that long-time imPort couple Frederick Chilton and Raina are engaged. Post-Valentine's pictures of Raina reveal her wearing what is definitely a diamond ring. After nearly two years of waiting, fans of the couple can only speculate how truly romantic the proposal was.

"Chilton's had years now to plan it out. I bet he serenaded her with a song written by Rincewind. Because Rincewind's like a bard or something, isn't he? Like, a really sad bard?" One such fan wrote on Bwitter. Others responded that in fact Rincewind was flutist.

And while the fan response to this news was overwhelmingly positive and supportive of the couple, there were a few outcries from disappointed Marchill and Raintess fans. It's no secret the two couples are close, and during the rocky period, Raina was reportedly staying at the Hotel Castile. This led fans to draw their own (often lascivious) conclusions. Both pairings have a small, but highly devoted fanbase.

But no matter which ship you sail, one thing can be certain. Raina has changed her FaceLook status from 'It's Complicated' to 'In a loving relationship.' And we certainly wish Raina and Frederick Chilton all the best. Perhaps we will end 2017 with yet another imPort wedding!

HEARTS AND RECREATION
As seen in entertainment news magazines:
MULTIVERSAL PICTURES' first movie based on imPorts, THE WORLD IS ENOUGH, which revolves around the romantic story of married imPorts April Ludgate and Will Graham, held a stern lead at the box office for the first two weeks of its release. Critics are torn, some reporting it's good popcorn-eating fun, others calling it "too focused on the romance, not enough using super cool powers."

The usage of animals in this film has caused minor controversy as well, surprising no one. FORTY SHADES OF OCHER, the highly anticipated sequel to THIRTY HUES OF BLOOD ORANGE proved the only other movie audiences cared to see enough to knock it down to second. It's now performing in third, just below FUNIONS, the kid's film about Funyuns who function in a minion-like role.
Due to this success, MULTIVERSAL PICTURES has announced they are looking into more imPorts with stories worth putting on screen, and there has been talk of adapting events and imPort tales for the small screen as well. Keep an eye out!

THE RED SETTING
As seen in local news:
It's here, it's there, it's everywhere: "bElish". That's the name you will see scrawled across the roads and sidewalks of Maurtia Falls, spray-painted in vibrant maroon and brick hues. Looks like there's a new vandal in town, and he (or she) is going to paint the town red. Is this an homage to Ambassador Baelish? A challenge? Is there a deeper meaning?

WEATHER OR NOT
As seen on the Weather Channel:
Hold onto your hats, De Chima! On Saturday, March 11th you were be witness to a totally bizarre tornado just outside the city limits. This has literally never happened before in recorded history.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from MAROON to GLITTER because Mabel Pines would have wanted it that way.

[Exhales.] It is a lot. [He will have to dip his toe into the pool, such is the sudden caution that Chilton now exhibits.]

But thank you -- [A beat. Dare he? Dare he?] Gwenaëlle. [First name basis striving, asserting a familiarity that may yet to have any real claim, that is something that Chilton just plunges into. No toe-dipping in these pools.]

Your insight is valued.

Well, I hope I'll get to know you well enough to give better advice.

( a beat, and then brightly; )

Frederick.

( while some people guard their nicknames jealously, gwen is the opposite; the number of people who can use her full given name is short, mostly because of her irritation with having it mangled.

but he gets it right, so he gets to keep it. )

[Aw, look at that! Mutual first name basis!]

I have notice you've already graced the society papers.

[Delicate fanboying, that's what this is.]

No doubt your presence and involvement with the wedding would draw even more attention.

I think I might have smiled if I'd known those pictures were going to go as far as they did. It's a little different to the London scene.

( dryly. on the real, she would not have. )

I think the emotional terseness adds to your general mystique. It was a clever move for the presses -- intended or otherwise, you'll still get the credit.

So you have been adapting well? [A beat. Anxiously:] Because I had considered that a brunch might -- help with any adjustments. Questions answered over mimosas, you know.

( now he's speaking her language. she clocks the anxiety, though, makes a note. )

I think that sounds great, actually. I feel like - I'm getting my feet under me, but mostly just professionally.

( sticking to what makes sense, to try and make sense of what doesn't - with mixed results. )

I have a lot of questions.

I have spent a good few years here, I'm certain I can help you along the lines of experience.

[Well that made him sound old now.]

Relevant experience.

That's very kind of you.

( so there are definitely strings attached, but this seems like the sort that will be familiar. )

I've got a relatively flexible schedule at the moment, so -

if sometime suits you, I can make it work. For mimosas, you know.

Oh -- have you a preference of imPort city? Not that we are necessarily restricted, but... Sometimes it is just easier. Certain populations are more used to us.

I've been trying to get a -

Actually, do you mind dogs? Because anywhere he can come is perfect.

I do not explicitly mind them. [He can tolerate, and he's been exposed enough; Sam Merlotte and Will Graham are often in his company.] But I hear the dog parks aren't spectacular in De Chima. Process of elimination.
