PortCon 2008 cosplay planning

Jan 19, 2008 14:38

PortConMaine this year is now four days (well, three and a half days [thanks, Shampoo!]) for pre-registered con-goers, including a formal ballroom dance Thursday night. I'm not quite sure if we're doing or not, but if so, I'll probably just cosplay Tsuzuki (Yami no Matsuei). Or disguise!Kuroro (Hunter x Hunter); it will just be a black suit with tie and white dress shirt and I'm planning to use my real hair for Ritsuka, which means it will be dyed black.

I'm not quite sure which cosplay I'm doing what day - I'll probably just follow Kun's lead - but here's the run-down with a disclaimer that things might change between now and then.

First off, Hunter x Hunter. Kun's other Christmas present to me was revealing that she's planning on cosplaying Gon for PortCon. Gon/Killua love will abound and fulfill one of the dreams I've had since first watching Hunter x Hunter. ^_______________^ (Sarah, assuming you're coming, I wasn't sure if you'd rather have us cosplay the same version of Killua or a different one; at the moment, I'm doing Hunter Exam version, but I can also do Greed Island.)

Secondly, Yuu Yuu Hakusho! We have a group! Kun's cosplaying Yuusuke, Jon will be Kurama, I'm doing Hiei, and one of Jon's friends is coming as Kuwabara. I think it would be great to do a YYH skit for the Masquerade, but that's up to everyone else.

Thirdly, Loveless. Specifically, Ritsuka. And if Sarah's coming, I'm assuming she'll be Kio. (Ironically, in the latest Loveless chapters, I've found the my love for Soubi has nearly surpassed my love for Ritsuka.)

Finally, as tends to happen when I'm at Kun's, we're both currently on a Yuugiou high. Kun's cosplayed as Jounouchi before with Jon as Otogi, but I've never done a good Yami no Bakura. Kelsey also volunteered to cosplay Malik. When are we planning on doing this? YUUGIOU RAVE! (That'd be Saturday night.)

The only issue is that I'd like to actually use my duel disk for once, but don't dare bring it into the rave. Therefore, I'll probably change into Yami no Bakura halfway through the day and then drop my duel disk off in the room before the rave.

(And Sarah, you're more than welcome to share a hotel room with us; as of now, it'll be Kun, Jon, Tomo, one of Jon's friends, you, and myself. I believe that Kun's mum is paying. Also, I'd like to take everyone to a local Japanese restaurant Thursday night.)

Things I need:
  • long white wig (styled), grey slacks, striped white and blue shirt, light blue/green short-sleeved button-up dress shirt, Sennen Ring, possibly better Yuugiou cards [Yami no Bakura]
  • new boots or boot coverings, light green backpack, possibly a new white wig or skateboard and any other random accessories [Killua]
  • torn black tanktop, loose black pants, black boots, four white belts, something for the jagan [Hiei]
  • adjusted overalls, black cat ears and tail, non-torn black tanktop, armband, possibly new shoes and additional accessories [Ritsuka]
