THE MAJORITY REPORT: MARCH 10TH, 2017

THE MAJORITY REPORT: MARCH 10TH, 2017
Beware 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.

[ A smile lights up her face at his acceptance. She shouldn't have feared. Of course Dooku would understand where the suggestion was coming from. And still, it does lend to this illusion of family she's built up. For one shining moment, Raina will have a father-figure and a beautiful wedding party (at least on her side) and at the end of it a husband. ]

Delightful! I'm so pleased. This world truly has blessed me with the people I've come to meet.

Any blessings you have received are only fair payment for the blessings you bring with your presence, Raina. The acclaim you are receiving for your happy news is proof enough of that.

This outpouring of support has been incredible. It seems Frederick and I have more people invested in our relationship than we realized.

[ But more than that, it seems that Raina has an incredible amount of influence in the community. And that is the sort of thing Constellation needs. ]

[Raina's ability to charm and influence ranks right up there with her scientific brilliance and willingness to harm others with the reasons Dooku appreciates her as much as he does.]

Quite so. I suppose the 'Raintess' community will simply have to find a way to console themselves, since they are clearly in the minority.

[ With a laugh. ]

Well, we cannot fault the desires of our fans. You and I have our own little following too, you know.

[ Even Dooku could not escape fandom. ]

[Dooku's face falls like a starship caught in a gravity well.]

Surely you must be joking.

[Please, please let her be joking.]

It's obscure, but it's out there. There's one where you are on a quest to seek out the rarest flower in the world, only to realize it's been there, right before your eyes all along.

[ A beat. ]

And then we have sex in a garden. And that's actually the most benign fic.

[ Don't get her started on the BDSM one. But Raina can't be too upset about it because they wrote her as the femdom.... ]
dun_moch: (Not as planned)

[Dooku grimaces visibly. He ordinarily puts significant effort into concealing his true feelings, but in this case he has little reason to hide his disgust.]

I regret asking. Perhaps these absurd notions will dissipate once you and Doctor Chilton have completed your union. I have no desire to be the object of such... speculations.
