FIRST AND FOREMOST! In case you missed it, here's most of our skit on video. :D I want to super secret quadruple remind you that I edited together all that sound. ALL OF IT. Also, I made all the cute noises. And the poster that says "Shoujo Bubbles?" (yeah, that's what it says...) MY IDEA. ALL ME. I just made my friends color it, is all...
I'm pretty damn sure I have a virus here, but nothing I tried has been working so far. This looks like a job fooooooooorrrr.....
MY SISTER'S BOYFRIEND!!
...oh, but he's not here. Bummer. Guess I'm stuck, so I'll write down some Otakon before I forget about it. It's not for you to read, it's for me to remember, so I don't expect anyone to read all of it or anything.
This year there were a lot of firsts for me. First time cosplaying, first time masquerading, first time sharing a room with fellow high-school/college students, first time with rules and restrictions and a group to stick with. Nine of us. If I learned one thing on this trip, it's that the more people you're with, the harder it is to please everyone.
Instead of detailing it in a chronological format, here are some lists.
UPS:
-Having a costume means getting your picture taken.
-Being the moé character means you get your picture taken even more. Also free pocky.
-The best picture by far was the one with Tamaki-senpai. *squee*
-Playing a mute character means you and your friends get to communicate in new and amazing ways. (I now know how to pantomime "Those Eyebrows" and "I'm Nabeshin.")
-Performing onstage was amazing, but I always like performing.
-Pillow fights invoking the LORD OF NIGHTMARES =O
DOWNS
-We lost the contest to the half-naked opera-singing belly-dancer.
-TAXI OMG ARGH *head explosion*
-I'm not used to following someone else's agenda...^^; (Then again, maybe it was a learning experience...)
-More people means more drama. OH GOD THE DRAMA IT BURNS
RULES OF SAYA:
1. The Saya cannot talk. She can, however, make cute squeaky noises such as "Eh?" and "Ahh!" She may also spell out words on people's hands and in the Book of Saya.
2. Rule one can only be broken within the boundaries of the karaoke room and the, uh, the game with the big bouncy ball.
3. As written in the Book of Saya - "New Rule: I can answer my freakin' cell phone."
RULES OF THE LINA PLUSHIE:
1. All persons throwing the Plushie at another person, be they old, young, wearing a thong, or a bookcase, must shout the name of a spell in the most obnoxious manner humanly possible.
2. All persons uttering the words "flat-chested" automatically become the Plushie's next target.
3. Should the person throwing the Plushie choose to cast the Giga Slave, Mango gets to turn all the lights off and run around in the dark screaming THE WORLD WILL BE THROWN INTO CHAOS. :D
