Setting is open to

   The setting’s focal point is a costumers’ convention named Kubla Con, which is held in different host facilities each year; by tradition, each such facility is referred to as ‘Xanadu’ for the con’s duration. One year, Kubla Con was enlivened by an unexplained—and unexplainable—event: At a moment just before the first set of awards was to be handed out, every costume-wearing person within the convention grounds was somehow transformed into whatever entity their costume portrayed.
   The transformation is a ‘what you conceive of is what you get’ kind of deal; whatever you know about the character you’re dressed as becomes true, regardless of what that character is ‘really’ like.
