HETALILA Day Toronto Report 2009, Part 2/2
Continued from Part 1.
The group headed outside through the back door and happened across a newly wedded couple doing some after-wedding photos nearby. Everyone waved and congratulated them but I'm sure the couple and their friends were giving the cosplayers odd looks. The moment everyone had settled down on a nearby staircase, people started to dance. Following video comes in two odd parts.
Opium War version2...?
Whatcha doin, Russia~?
Hobomerica!
Soon the cosplayers broke into dance again. But this time, the macarena! To their own singing too.
Caught the North Ameribros playing with the leaves.
This may be the only, or one of the few, historically charged shoots we had. October 24th did not only mean United Nations Day, but back in October 24th, 1795 was the third and final Partition of Poland (where Poland pretty much ceased to exist afterwards, for a while). Oct 24 also marked "the death of the HRE" (Peace of Westphalia). Also was in the middle of the October 23rd-November 8th, 1917's October Revolution (in which we sorta gave an odd "happy birthday" to the Russias later on, haha) ANIWHO-
Never ask a cosplayer to pull your hair, especially a Russia.
Caught some people playing limbo~
Everyone continued to have their fun until it became a awkward party after a second newly-married couple asked us to temporarily move aside so the bride, groom, and their friends can get to their destination. So. Back indoors we went!
A lot of us began simply talking, or drawing.
Did several doodles myself and it was only between sketching or after my hand got tired did I bother taking photos again. orz
Down for the count!
Revenge for carrying?
Doo dee doo~
Like father, like son.
Oops.
North Italy singing to Germany! Attempted a "rock version" but changed to the original.
Before heading to the restaurant nialyjoy reserved at, Prussia felt the need to pimp.
"Become one with us." "No thanks."
We set off! I lost count as to how many blocks we walked, the amount of stares, and such. It really did feel and look like a party, with half the people singing "Marukaite Chikyuu" loudly and proudly. Believe it took about 10-15 minutes to reach our destination.
Random shot along the way, everyone obviously had fun with the sign.
The basement area of Fran's Diner, near Yonge-College!
Everyone picked out their tables and drinks.
China and one of the Hong Kongs had a random and silly argument over which drink was better.
We love our maple syrup.
Talk to the hand, bro!
Aw~
Yay, food!
Fish and chips? Highly appropriate, England.
Dinner ended with Nialyjoy going around taking pictures of most people holding or wearing the Hetali(l)a banner, mathematics over shared bills, and a Hungary rightfully winning back 75cents as everyone seemed to be overcharged for tip/service--- plus, the service was slightly awful according to at least two people. Everyone parted ways after one more loud round of Marukaite Chikyuu (and more writing on the pairing/crack-pairing box) on the way to the subway station and this is where I stop. :'D
THE END!
