Tekkoshocon V - Friday
Friday April 13, 2007
Day one started off quite interestingly enough. I had to run around with my dad, wait for Hailey to drop off my rum and then have Lestat do the nasty cat deed on my jacket after spending a good 30 minutes shoving everything I thought I might need into numerous bags (two of which were full of just costumes). We arrived at Zack's house on time (he preferred us to be early, but we had a set time off leaving by 5 which we did). I noticd Nick first off as they were walking towards Zack's due to his newly bleached hair. It was quite interesting to see how you can fit one girl, Her father, Zack, Mike, and Nick into my dad's car (the Elantra) not to mention a sewing machine, luggage, and a rather large trunk. We pulled a quick stop at the Red, White, and Blue to get Mike's costume which Zack lucked out on and grabbed his Sasuke costume there as well. We pulled up to the hotel/ExpoMart around 6ish, let Nick and Mike go in since the hotel was under their name while Zack and I remained in the car watching my dad's facial expressions. My dad always knew I dressed up and went to things like this, but he'd never witnessed it first hand and with a female V for Vendetta sitting outside smoking with her friend a Gothic Lolita, it was kind of a surprise.
We got into the room and proceeded to go get ready . . .well Pirate ourselves up anyway. We found out that the hotel bathroom has a red heat light, but no fan and Nick laid out the ground rules that no one was to trash the room and if we did, it had to be cleaner then when we found it originally. So we got ready, took a couple pictures, gave Nick the Pirates theme (aka a M3 player attached to a small speaker) to play as we walked around, gave Mike the 'Time Flies When Yer Havin' Rum' flag to carry around and I simply was either the Dark Elizabeth or wench that walked with Jack and his crew. One of the most entertaining additions to our costumes was probably Zack's 'rum' bottle (a Goldschlauger bottle filled with sweet iced tea). We had so many pictures taken, numerous comments made including Zack attempting to sell a painting one of the artist's had done of Jack Sparrow. We stopped by the Deathcom booth, got professional pictures taken (One with me in Nick's arms, one with Nick vs Zack in a sword fight, and one with Zack holding me hostage and Nick pointing a gun at him), and visited the random booth. We had the chance to go in one at a time, say something random as a video recorded it, and then leave. So we all did this, then Nick and I went back in together and did a really short and very random scene. I also got to meet Sarah on this day, she's tall, very talented when it comes to art, and really flipping pretty. I felt bad because it turns out one of her friends said that I was prettier then she was, but she was also having issues that day with finding her friend. I guess after meeting her, it was no surprise that Zack left me >.<
This is also the day we got our first introduction to the RBG (Random Battle Group) which is more of a roleplaying battle in which it's teams of 3 (2 players and 1 head guy), you can't cross the center line, and you have 4 HP. Zack and Nick did it. Zack's attack was to drink rum and then breath fire, then they called the Kraken which turned out to be a blob of 3 people who came and attached the other team. It was hilarious, then Zack ran off leaving Nick and TJ and when TJ yelled "Atleast there's one good man left!" Nick simply replied with "Yeah, you" and left. I have it all on video somewhere. I got my tarot read though while they did this. We also picked up a random girl named Rachel who ended up spending the night with us. We went back up to the hotel room whe things cooled down where we made ramen in the coffee pot and drank some rum. The night then ended up with showers, people walking in on people in showers, an attempt at streaking, Zack giving the kMart across the street a show in his boxers, Nick and Zack doing their 'Ring My Bell' dance, and an underwear pillow fight which came to a end quickly when Zack fell on the lamp cracking the shade the entire way around. Things cooled down, Mike got one bed, Nick stole my spot on the floor so I slept in the bed with Rachel who cuddled up behind me and apparently Zack slept at the foot of our bed.
END NIGHT ONE
Bonus Features:
Burns of Day one:
-Zack forgot to close the door to the bathroom so nick was walking by, looked in the mirror (which shows the reflection of the bathroom), stopped for a minute, and then walked away.
Zack: "Dude were you just starring? Don't stare at my dick"
Lizzie: (Mumbled to Mike) "If you can find it"
-Zack continuously called Nick 'Love', we're still not quite sure how to take this . . .
- Zack would walk up to random people as Jack and start to tell the story about how some wench stole and burnt all the rum to which I would walk over and yell him to stop talking about me. I would then be pushed away or threatened ^_~*
- Nick learned how to tie and untie a corset. Something he then proceeded to tell me "Like I'm really going to need this", I told him to get the snapped corsets, they're easier to take off ^_~*
-Zack actually put on my corset >.
