[Application] Konata Izumi, Lucky Star

[otakukonata]

[[OOC: Konata thinks this is a LARP. Hence, she might recognize some people (mainly manga/videogame), but just assumes they're REALLY GOOD cosplayers.]]

Not school, not home, not random city. It's a castle. Either she's dreaming or Konata (Kona-chan) is in an actual RPG. Great!

Anime? An amay? What in the name of Irk was an amay? Whatever it was, this cheese beast of hair mentioned knowing all about it. That fact alone was suspicious enough for Zim to be wary.

"Tell me your secrets!" he was demanding automatically, in a shout, snapping his fingers at Konata. "What is this amay you speak of?!"

[otakukonata]

"You're probably one of those baseball fans that like it when games run over so that anime schedules are screwed up. How can you not know what anime is? It's everywhere!"

Way to make him MORE paranoid, Kona-chan.

[ingenius_evil]

Base...ball? What was she even talking about? "Run over? Run over what? Neighborhoods? Puppies? SMALL CHILDREN! DO THEY RUN OVER SMALL CHILDREN?" Zim was flailing at the air, then, excitedly, before he paused and cleared his throat. "Or possibly large ones."

He took a step closer to Konata, frowning. "I mean of-of course! I know what an amay is." He waved a hand around glancing upward. "We, oh, such amays we have. Back home. They were squishy like a pack of moosh minkies."

[otakukonata]

"No, they run over bases," Konata answered as if she didn't just freak Zim out. Good thing she never heard of him, that'd just make it worse, I think.

"Squishy? Eh, you could say some of the shoujo is squishy."

"A cosplay cafe would be awesome! We shoulda done that for the culture fest - wait, no, Kimura was there and he'd NEVER have gone away if we did that!" Tomo shuddered at the thought. "And bring on the videogames. You may say you're the best, but you've never had to go up against Tomo Takino before!"

((You have OOC permission for fourth-wall breakage here. Knowing she's fictional - if she ever figures it out - will not break Tomo's brain. ...assuming she figures it out from this conversation, which she may not. JUST DON'T EVER LET HER SEE AZUDAI FANFICTION.))

[otakukonata]

"TOMO!" Konata pointed. "Can I have a picture with you? And I'm no slouch, I've played plenty of games. I've beaten plenty of people in fighting games."

[tomowildcat]

Yes! Recognition! She'd never seen the girl before, but who cared? "But of course! I've always got time to pose with the little people!" She was already striking a pose.

[otakukonata]

"Yes!" As if on cue (which it kinda was), a house elf came to take the picture as Konata and Tomo made silly poses. It took a couple tries, but the elf got a decent picture.

"Thank you!"

[defense_rests]

((Recognition is OK, and we covered the Japanese name thing on IRC already.))

Oh, my, was she ever reminded of Maya.

"Putting off studying the night before doesn't always seem to work," Mia noted, amused in spite of herself. "But then I suspect you spend more time 'studying' anime."

[otakukonata]

"Chihiro!" As with Tomo, Konata pointed and grinned. "Can I have a picture with you? And I do fine. My grades are good, and as long as they are, who cares how much studying I did?"

[defense_rests]

Mia blinked and looked around, thinking for a second the girl was referring to someone else. "I'm sorry. Have we met? My name is Mia Fey. I think you've mistaken me for someone else."

[otakukonata]

"Oh! Mia!" This person was probably American, and more familiar with the English names, while Konata played through the Japanese first, then the English.

"Question still applies, can I have a picture with you?"

A couple of this applicant's answers seemed relatively sane for Hogwarts. "Considering I'd never heard of video games until I came here, you probably could beat me," Zel admitted. He leaned against the wall, unconsciously adopting his "mysterious stranger" pose, which he hadn't actually used much since his own arrival, but some things never left you.

[otakukonata]

"Never played videogames? Not even the eroge ones?" Referring to hentai games. In other words, interactive porn. Not even joking.

[ra_tilt_chimera]

"Um... No, I'm afraid not." Zel wasn't about to admit that he had no clue what she was talking about. He held out a hand. "Zelgadiss Graywords. Call me Zel; it's faster and everyone messes up my name on the first try."

[otakukonata]

Oh. WAIT. Kona was so shocked at the no videogame thing, that she just now saw...."Zelgadiss!" She even pronounced it right. "Can I have a picture?"

[ayameonaplane]

Oh my. All that energy. Ayame liked her already.

"A cosplay cafe? That's probably the best answer to that question I've seen," he said, grinning. Of course, this was the first sorting besides his own he'd been to, but that didn't mean it wasn't a good answer.

((OOC permission for recognition, fourth-wall breakage, and hugging, if you feel so inclined. He'll probably assume she's nuts, anyway.))

[otakukonata]

Eh, Kona's read Fruits Basket, but she preferred other manga. Still.

"I know! I work at one Ayame, I love it there!"
