megacon, part 1

Con report taimu, two days late. Oops.

Anyway, Saturday! Yeah.

I got up at around 5:30, though I was supposed to wake up at 3:45 after a little nap to finish working on costumes. I obviously didn't end up getting them done before we left at 8:10 or :20, my Anise costume was still lacking a cloak and boots and my Simon costume and Jade costume were just both unfinished. Screw the boots, I ended up taking my Haruhi shoes for Anise and stuffing everything for Simon into a bag and bringing my sewing machine along. I didn't have any white bias tape left to use on Jade anyway, so I just didn't bring him.

Car ride on the way there was longer than I expected. Mostly spent the time brushing out the wig and putting it into pigtails the best that I could, then watching the scenery outside and listening to my mp3 player. I didn't play my DS at all, which was surprising, considering that I did want to get my Etrian Odyssey characters leveled a bit. Oh well.

We got there at around 11. >: Too late to enter the costume contest, obviously, not that I could have with an unfinished costume. None of the other TotA people were there anyway, so it was okay. Got my passes and then found Jenna upstairs, hanging out with some Okami cosplayers --- jesus christ I still need to get that game don't I. D: Doublechin was also there, o lol, it took me a minute or so to notice her because she was just standing there and.. not saying anything. It was kind of creepy. She also looks worse IRL than in pictures. Jesus fucking christ.

The Okami cosplayers walked around with us for a little while more and then left, so we were just left alone with Doublechin and.. yeah. :| We were trying to figure out how to make a strategic retreat until she left to go to her hotel room for something, fuckyeah. We ended up going to Jenna's hotel room because I wanted to drop my stuff off and she was going to change into Viral, so yeah.

The walk there was pretty funny, actually. The wind was blowing pretty hard and it was chilly outside, so I was obviously complaining about my ass and how cold it was. Loudly. We were walking behind some KH cosplayers that I recognized from the two other cons, and they were yelling at someone in a car --- jesus christ it was hilarious. D:

"YEAH!"
"YEAH!"
"YEAH!"
"FUCK YEAH!"

pffff-- yeah, I laughed. I never actually really talked to that Axel, but she was the one that picked me up at Chibi-Pa. oh god. D: Anyway, we ended up crossing over through three or four parking lots, talked to a Mexican guy in a cab in the first parking lot we went through. lolwtf

We also passed a guy in a BICYCLE CHARIOT LOL. I couldn't think of the name for them so I pulled "bicycle chariot" out of my ass. I don't know how. B-but we're riding in one of those when we do Adiane and Viral. >: We.. we also talked about Kalajessta's Cecille and then ended up talking about the lesbian that has the hots for Cecille in the game. Haha, I actually kind of like that character, her dialogue amuses me. >: but yeah, just.. random shit like always.

We ended up having to camp outside her hotel room since she didn't have a room key and her mom was out shopping, so I started hand-sewing my sock things while she played Cooking Mama on my DS. fuck lol, I have pictures of it but it doesn't show the game that's on the screen. And we were just being general dicks and attracting odd looks from the hotel staff, while blocking up the hallway with our shit. But uh, her mom did end up coming half an hour later so we went in and had cake. and. shit. >: She changed into Viral, and then we made fun of her doujins in odd voices. D: Jade/Lefty fff- LEFTY.

we.. we ended up leaving after an hour or so. around two hours spent in Orlando already and most of it was in a hotel room. lol

But I put on my Simon wig and core drill while still wearing a gay pink dress, for the lulz. >: I wanted an excuse to wear it, so.. I made one. Nobody knew about who the hell I was, but that's okay. ;-; They all thought I was a Simon-Nia hybrid. lol

We saw a King Kittan cosplay on the way up, FUCK YEAH. I was the one that pointed it out on the escalatorin the first place -- I didn't think it would actually be KING KITTAN because we could only see the back, but it turned out to be. fucking win. I heard he was acting like a jackass for a bit, though. Oh well.

I.. I'm not sure what we did when we got back, holy fuck. We just wandered around for a bit after getting bored of waiting in line, and went upstairs. We found the P3 cosplayers, fuck yeah, and I got a picture of Minato and Yukari. There were two separate groups, one with Minato and Yukari and the other with Mitsuru, Junpei, Yukari, and Aigis, but I didn't get a picture of the latter. Oh well. I wanted to give Minato my wig so badly, since she didn't have one. ;-; ffff, it would have been perfect too.

Well, the line got shorter after we walked around for a little bit trying to find the other Viral that was at the con, so we went back downstairs to get her a pass. And then we went into the dealer's room and bought some dippin' dots. wtf

We were trying to find a Kamina figure somewhere in there, but.. it didn't exist! holy fuck! I actually did have the money to buy one too, so it was kind of disappointing that we couldn't find one. ;-; Fucking huge dealer's room was fucking huge, though. it was bigger than an XBOX. I think we would have gotten lost if we hadn't been holding hands like faggots all the way around the dealer's room.

We went out and saw Viral on the balcony, so we basically rushed upstairs to meet her. I got a picture of the embrace. ;-; it was BEAUTIFUL. But yeah, another /cgl/ faggot found. She wasn't that bad, except her suit was bright red and she didn't bind or have a wig, but it was okay since she only started the costume around a week or so before. >: But yeah, we found out that there was a Commander Simon hanging around too, so we ended up just leaning over the railing half the time watching all of the people that were coming out of the dealer's room.

I wandered off to find the Simon and failed, so I went back, and they had somehow migrated to the other side of the balcony thing -- and they had GOLDFISH CRACKERS LOL. The Okami cosplayers were also there. So we.. sat there throwing crackers at each other and tossing goldfish over the ledge. Also, staring at someone across the gap and waiting for them to notice us. I don't think they ever did. ): I did find out that I still have terrible aim even at close range, though. shit, lol

I ended up going back down and into the dealer's room to find Simon again, and succeeded after walking around like a dumbass several times. He thought I was a SimonNia hybrid too, but that's okay. ;-; He was kind of fail, b-but it was COMMANDER SIMON FUCK YEAH. Jesus christ, I think I almost jumped on the guy I was so excited to see him. Told him to meet up with us upstairs, but he didn't come out for a little bit so we went downstairs to find him, wtf. I saw a cute Hanyuu while we were downstairs though. I'd her horns, lol. ;-;

We didn't end up finding him so we ended up going back upstairs, and I got on Pictochat with my DS since one of the people we were with had one out too. >: Oh god, it was just people drawing dongs and spamming 4chan memes. I lost the game. :( But uh, yeah. dongs. And Ryuk singing chawklit rain. It was amusing for a little while.

Commander Simon finally passed by us a little while later and didn't notice us. We... tackled him screaming his name. D: FUCK YEAH SIMON

After that, Giselle found us upstairs and yeah. There was some sort of Yuri vs. Yaoi riot going on downstairs, and we were screaming at them from upstairs. I wonder if they heard us screaming DICKS DICKS DICKS and LOL GURO and DICKGIRLS from up on the balcony. ;-; We also counted the number of Narutos we saw (I think it was 7?) and Sakuras. Yeah, it was fun.

Other Viral had to leave after a while, so we ended up meeting up with Giselle and this Riku cosplayer to get dinner. We walked over to Bennigan's, and jesus christ it was COLD outside. ;-; We had to huddle together for warmth, holy crap. Viral's harem of men. That was the longest 7 minute walk I've ever taken.

We got to Bennigans.. sometime, and it took a goddamned long time to warm up after we got in there. D: We were the only cosuprayers in there, which made it kind of awkward, lol. I think the people working the front counter were a bit afraid of us, the woman that took Jenna's name down sounded kind of scared and disoriented. ;-; I don't think she realized that Jenna was female until after she got the name down. It made me lol.

We had 20 minutes to wait out, so we ended up sitting on a bench somewhere near the entrance. Odd stares from people coming in. The best part was when some foreign-sounding old guy came over to Jenna and went, "Oh my god what happened I'm so sorry. ;_;" after he saw her monster hands. We also saw some Gaiafags come in, but ignored them. We were discussing Apollo Justice until they called us for the table.

Jeez, I shouldn't have waited so long to write this, I can't really remember what we talked about during dinner anymore. I know a good portion of it was about dongs, but we spent some time taking pictures of outselves with Kamina glasses on too. ;-; I got it to stick on for 5 seconds, fuck yeah. Th-that means I'm manlier than everyone else at the table, holy shit. But uh, I know we talked about P3 and some other games, at least. I also saw a kid playing his DS on the way in, so I decided to get onto Pictochat and he was on, holy fuck. We ended up drawing flaming dongs and.. gaping vaginas the size of hallways. fffffdsfds lol

I wish Giselle had brought her DS in too, but we only had mine to pass around. After probably getting the kid into trouble, we ate dinner, lol. Tasty burger was tasty, even though I wasn't feeling hungry for the entire day. >: Jenna also.. blew bubbles in her drink while wearing Kamina glasses, wtf. And quiet Riku was quiet. I pointed it out and she started laughing. ;-;

I feel bad for the people that were sitting next to us, haha. They were glancing over curiously every time we started talking about cocks. And this black guy who was making balloon animals came over too, to offer some balloons. We didn't take one, though I wish we had. He was pretty much the only person that knew about Megacon in the restaurant, I think.

We paid the tab and left, though we didn't really think of putting a tip down. I ended up dumping all of my pennies on the table and then we ran, pffhaha. D: It was FREEZING OUTSIDE HOLY SHIT. Even colder than the walk over. My teeth were chattering quite hard, also. Lots of ZETSUBOUSHITA yelling and.. we started talking about Code Gayass and Moyashimon for some reason. We did manage to make it back to Jenna's hotel and waited for her to change into Jade, and then we left. I put on my Jade wig as well because I wouldn't have another excuse to wear it, so.. yeah. >:

We got driven back to the con. Everyone was at the animu rave, so there were probably only 10 or 15 of us hanging around on the bottom floor. We saw Minato and Yukari with a Sora again, so we joined them. Introductions and sitting in a circle, etc. Though before the introductions were done, we ended up with around.. 5 or 6 people joining us? Some guy that didn't really like animu came over to talk to Jenna and I, it was kind of entertaining. Talking about Anonymous fucking his friend up and how he kicked over a table in China and yeah, haha. He was the friend of a guy who had GL tattoos that Jenna had met on Friday, apparently. He was probably just making shit up with his stories, but they were still fun to listen to. ;-; And he picked her up! It was so funny! I have pictures. He offered to give her to me, o lol, but I declined. She fell over when he put her down since she was kicking around so much. ): lol

And I realize I never want to go to a rave at an animu convention. I went upstairs to help Giselle find Riku, and I wandered into the crowd around the rave area. It was terrifying. Fatties in bikinis and.. just generally ew. D: Lots of animu goths and emos and.. ugh. Yeah, I went back downstairs pretty fast after we found her. Gumshoe had joined us, so I got a picture of him and talked to him for a little bit. He was so awesome, pff, he even did the little motions that Gumshoe did and his expression was so perfect. ;-; I hope I end up seeing him again at Jacon and Metrocon, if I go. And I hope he gets a Franziska.

Indiana Jones also ended up joining us, wtf. He had a whip. It was lulzy.

Anyway, some of the people downstairs ended up making a man tower, but they ended up falling over. I did get a picture of it, though. And then they.. made a mantrain. Oh god. Seeing all of these cosplayers sitting on their asses and chugging around on the ground was hilarious. After that broke up, we decided to make a man pyramid for some god foresaken reason, except we were too weak to hold each other up on our arms and knees so we just ended up lying on top of each other. I was on top. ;-; I know people got pictures, but I haven't seen them yet.

And.. yeah. Doublechin also came over. :| She was dressed in this blue and pink oh god who knows what, with a see-through shirt and skirt. I don't want to think about it anymore. D: But uh, she tackled Jenna along with several other fantards. And since I am an AWESOME FRIEND, I sat on the side and lol'd at her until they got off, and then offered her a comb. And then threatened to tell Doublechin that I could hook them up if she didn't do the Soulja Boy dance. She didn't end up doing it though. :(

I, uh, I ended up making myself look like a dumbass by going up and doing the Soulja Boy dance badly with Indiana Jones and a few other people. At least my friends got a good laugh out of it though.

But, uh, yeah. Lots of fun at nighttime. My dad ended up picking me up around 10:30 or so, and we went back to the hotel room.

Sunday report in a bit.
