WOOOOWwww Katsu. It was a lot of fun :D
Thursday Suzanne and I decided to go get our badges so we didn't have to deal with lines on Friday. And I'm really glad we did, cos...
Friday, the line was freaking OUT THE DOOR. I left with Alex after my classes ended and that line was just ridiculous. I know we ran into like Olivia and Elie and them and we hung out a little in their room just being dumb and tried to put Alex's amber contacts in but that didn't work so we decided to go with Olivia and Karin (sp??) down to CVS and grab some solution. On the way back we saw Sam and co. and stuff. We headed to the bathroom so we could poke Alex's eyes out. It took us a LOOOOOOONG TIME when we finally managed to get her contacts in which looked really cool and kind of bizarre since I've never seen Alex without blue eyes before 8U We left the bathroom and guess who was standing there! Sam and her friends. Alex was like heeeeeeeey and kind of leaped in line, and saved a good hour or two of waiting in line... cheater
Avatar people on the balcony from the line!!!
Afterwards idk what we did but we ran in to Krispy and a girl Jessica, who we had ran into before at previous cons so we hung out for a bit :D We went to the little cafe across the street and kind of sat around for a little bit.
Kris and Alex
Teeeaaa 8U
Jessica
After that we wandered back in and kind of ran into Kaitlan I think and we headed to the dealer's room. There we also saw Kim and wandered some more... But really, there weren't very good vendors this time (LIKE WHERE WAS THE GUY THAT ALWAYS HAS ALL THE MANGA?? I WANT MY ABYSS MANGA DAMNIT) so we just kinda hung around one area before we all decided to depart. Jessica left us and Kim ran off
Kaitlan wanted to go change into Britta so we hung around the hallway to wait for Elie and co to come back and get into their room. Meanwhile we took hallway pics!!!
What are you looking at
O hi there
Our little powow
Umbrella... inside?
8U
lalal
Crossooveeeeeeeeeeeer?
It's an Alice, run D8
Cleavage.
Imma whip you?
Dur hur
OH MY GOD it's the sadist
omnomnom
I would have gotten more of her but there was a vending machine behind her D:
ZOOM AND SHOOT!
Olivia finally showed up and we all piled into their room and sat around for a while just talking and stuff. Kris had to go, then we decided to go eat at the Japanese restaurant down the street.
This is where I say, fuck you, con drama, I'm glad I never have to deal with you on a conly basis. :|
So basically a group of a possible 14 people to eat turned into 4, with me Alex Kaitlan and Karin, which magically turned into 5 when Kaitlan's friend Connor showed up and sat with us. And holy fuck guys. I was peacefully eating my oyako don when
omg
this Japanese restaurant earned 10 points (from their minus a million because they made us wait forever for a table that was already free)
because they played
~*~*~mirotic~*~*~
Needless to say I danced in my seat ;D
Afterwards we split off from everyone and met up with Alison and Deanna, as Jade and Dicks respectively, and after Deanna departed we headed off to a sekrit stairwell and took some cool DtB/Jade pictures
Cool Guy and Jade as we waited for Alison and Deanna
baa
Give my mask back 8U
Then the freakin midnight persona shoot decided to show up and CRASH OUR PARTY... needless to say that was not very satisfying. At least we screwed with your countdown :D So we had to confine ourselves to a corner.
I said give it D:
O jade
HAHA
Luna 8D
SUDDENLY JADE
Ambaaa
omg it's rachie
You look gorgeous
Rachael is introspective, Jade is being purty and Luna as herself
oh so purty
NO, IT'S MY UMBRELLA 8U
It's a relatively normal face
Only not
Alison getting her picture taken by EBK
They finally left after like a freakin' million years and we were getting tired so we finished up our pictures and then after some complications finally crashed at Alex's house.
O hi Elie
I like this shot
O hei look a stair case
Employee Entrance? wats that
FUCKIN umbrella
I like this shot too 8Db
SUZANNE... AND RACHAEL
o jaid u so fien
Come hitha, November
Dude if you can't tell I have like pounds of makeup on my face
What
At least I sprayed my wig for Saturday :|
Eh there was a better one for this pose but I forgot to upload it
CROTCH SHOT!
oh shit,
I got so tired I collapsed against the wall
Then I collapsed in the corner :|
SATURDAAAAY was pretty awesome. Despite being a little on the late side, dressed in our glorious DtB costumes me Alex and Alison went into the Tales Panel about 10 mins late and kind of gave commentary. Oh while everyone cheered for Guy I cheered for Innocence and Vesperia ♥ COME ON GUYS. D: Needless to say, love you guys.
So this way we ended up with a good 7 people, me, Alison, Alex, Annie, Rita, Deanna, and Luna. We kind of stood around Deanna's room for a bit deciding whether or not we should go eat lunch now and then make it in time for the photoshoot or photoshoot then lunch, but I think we stood around debating for a little too long and decided on the latter. xD We all got in Tales (ELF EARED ION HAHA) and was just about to go get food when we encountered Kaitlan on the street and then decided we should go back to the hotel and wait for the photoshoot people.
It was about 90% Abyss, and you'd think after all this time there'd actually be, idk, more KoR or Vesperia but NOOOO. :| Abyss I love you and your anime but... Lack of Vesperia = sad. The photoshoot went really fast because con security was like, UHHH, YOU CAN'T STAY IN HERE. UNLESS YOU OPEN THE DOOR. Sooo we opened the door to the stairwell and after like 5 minutes they were like ALL RIGHT GET OUT AND HURRY UP. ...Buh?
Alex has all of those pictures.
Afterwards Deanna ran off somewhere so us 6 kind of sat. And waited. And EVEN THOUGH we were kind of already standing against the wall the staffer guy manning our area was like. YOU'RE IN THE WAY. :| And if I just took a step off the wall he's like YOU'RE BLOCKING TRAFFIC. wtf? Way to go con security
Anyway Deanna showed up in due time and we headed up to her room again, and made another costume change, this time into Persona. I tried calling various peeps in my group but I couldn't really get through to any of them. The only one that I got a hold of was Rachie and she was like yeah... I'm still at home sewing... SOOOO luck be it, all 7 of us decided to pile into Alison's car and head out to Chinese food.
FUCKING HILARIOUS. I swear to god Deanna if you get those pictures up I will LOVE YOU FOREVER. We had Alison driving, Annie sitting in the passenger seat, Luna Deanna and Rita sitting in the back seat... with Alex on top of them and me in the little leg room area in front of Annie. :|b Fun times man.
We ate... and in short: Tales of Blackia 3: The Omnom. Oh yes.
AFTER THAT! We headed back, putzed around the con for a little bit (and I FINALLY FOUND Sean and Suzanne. But that's it wth where was my group) and then went to go change into formal. Luna had to leave, so remained was 6. I didn't get any pictures of myself but I got most everyone else.
Annie in formal!Chal :D
Deanna in formal!Yuan
Rita in formal!Anise
Alison in formal!Wei
Alex in formal!Amber.. which you can't see
So we got in line for the ball and there was super confusion and the lessons were delayed by 45 minutes no thanks to the con staff being super disorganized but we chatted it up with these two guys standing by us. We finally got in and went over the rumba (??) and the waltz. Then we got together and paired off and ran into Ashley and Karin and stuff and the dance began. And holy crap out of all the people they could have focused on during the dance they decided to ZOOM IN ON ME AND ALEX. :| I nearly died. I danced several times with other people and skillfully managed to avoid this chick from my school who kind of creeps me out as she danced next to me (fuck yeah cosplay, the ultimate disguise). We got kind of tired after a little while and headed back up to Deanna's.
We kind of hung around her room until her dad kicked us out around 2, I think, and that's when Annie and Rita left and Alex, Alison and I changed back into normal DtB.
Except Alex took my Hei jacket and I was cold so I had to make do somehow D:
FWAH
Me cosplaying as Hei cosplaying as Amber?
Rita and Deanna playing RM2
DEANNA FEET 8U
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeei?
We spent about 2 hours outside and got some really amazing shots while freezing our asses off. I don't have them, but Alex does, and upon realizing it was like 4AM we went back to Alex's...
That basically concludes Saturday. What the fuck. 5 costumes and 4 costume changes. WHAT THE HELL.
Sunday we were exhausted. And did not cosplay. We ran into Deanna. And went to the dealer's room and kind of looked around. There was nothing of interest there so we went back up.
Yeeea fuck you too 8|
GET OUT THE WEI WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Commence open mouth time.
idk man
And then Deanna had to leave and we went back downstairs and then ran into our long lost friend GINAAAAAAA!
GIIINAAAA
While waiting with Gina for her mom there were two Hetalia people... I mean I don't really like Hetalia but they were pretty cool.
GIGANTIC FLAGS 8D
But yeah. After that we kinda left for Tyson's and ate food. We were going to do the movie poster scheme again but all the posters were lame and we were tired. Soo back to Alex's house to clean/pack then we were outta there.
I was gonna do a long list of shoutouts but I decided that this was long enough already
Thus concludes my... seventh Katsu. What. I thought it was a kind of bad move going back to a hotel they had clearly grown out of but I understand that they didn't really have any other place to go, y'know? I also thought the lines were horrid and it was really just a big bunch of chaos. No cool dealers which was sad... AT LEAST I HAD MY FRIENDS? you guys are awesome.
Alex paid for like everything for me during the con (1 DVD + food) since I had lost my only $20 :< I figured I couldn't get the stuff back so I am making Naoto for her. WHOOPEE?
But yeah. When I woke up from my million hour nap I watched DtB DVD2 with Yucan :D
THE END
I think I will go put the DtB pictures (both mine and Alex's) on the DtB comm now.
