More Cosplay! (Part Four - Final)

Hey guys! So this is gonna be the last part to my epic adventure to Banzai. It was my first time ever going all three days, and I am so glad I went through the hardships to be able to do that. ...Wow, that sounded really dramatic. Huh. Well, anwho, let's get started.

Last we left off I was on the freezing floor of my hotel room, being kicked off the couch. So we all woke up, and they noticed I was off the bed, I was invited in, and I snuggled under the covers for a minute or two to regain some of my body warmth. Everyone was slowly getting up, starting to take showers or go to the bathroom. I got up eventually and followed after a friend to the lobby where a lot of people were, sitting and eating breakfast. Once we ate we went back up, and then the race was gone.

Now, unlike at Siri's house where it was nice, calm, and really slow (no one but me was cosplaying that day. (well, except for Allie but she was reusing her Friday outfit)), the hotel room was a flurry. Everyone I stayed with was serious about cosplay so they all had makeup kits out, fake blood, clothing galore, and wigs. To my right Sierra was getting her wings ready for Davesprite (here's a picture), to my left Emma was putting makeup on to make it look like she was in a fisticuffs. I myself had a bit of a challenge that day; I was cosplaying something I was new to, which was CrockerCorp Jade. A few posts ago I posted a picture of here so you can go see that. Anyways, what I had to get was my skirt, shirt, high socks, shoes, wig, makeup.

My wig, first of all, was a complete mess and I wanted to try and use Emma's wig but it didn't feel comfortable. So I hurried and brushed the mess into a somewhat okay wig. Next, my shirt and skirt.

Emma told me I could use her petticoat, which actually looked really good with it, but at the same time, was waaay too big for me. Not to mention, no one could properly pin it so that it didn't fall. So I gave up on that.
After everyone was basically complete, people started leaving, and it was just Sierra, Tori's mom, and Will.

We started to clean up the messy room a bit, checking for personal items. Sierra was freaking out because her cosplay wasn't even completely done. So I multitasked, cleaning while helping Sierra finish. I also had to help her get white paint on her body, which was...interesting. But finally, I was done, and my cosplay was awesome. Here's a picture of me in the hotel room and all my glory:

I felt pretty sweet. So we left and we went around, taking photos, talking, blah blah. It was nerve-wracking because everyone knew everyone except for me, so I kinda just stood there, doing nothing. Sometimes I would engage in a conversation, and it'd be awesome, but it'd fade. But, there were some highlights, such as Dave and John being married off, with Karkat as the priest. And it was filmed. And it was epic. Then there was another time when I felt like I was a cool kid when a jug of AJ (apple juice) was passed around and we got to sip from it. hehe. 

But my favorite part of the day was the photoshoot. We all met on these stairs in the back of the building, where people would take pictures and such. My friend's brother, Juan, was there and he had a fancy smancy camera, along with my friend Lindsey. We started the photoshoot, taking wicked awesome pictures of everyone's cosplays. Tori dressed as Dirk (from Homestuck), when he gets decapitated, Emma was fisticuffs Jake (with gold guns too oooooh), Lindsey was Doomed! Dave, Sierra, Davesprite, and our friend was the odd one out with a fem!Captain Jack Sparrow. So here, Imma spam you with the awesome result pictures.

The rest of the day was just us driving home, which ended with me falling asleep. But when I got home, I was tired as heckie but also, I was really happy. I made a lot of friends over three days, and it was just awesome. All in all, I really liked the con and I can't wait for the next one!!! :D Thanks for reading!

Just Realized Somethin'

I AM ALMOST AT 666 PAGE VIEWS YEAH HAIL SATAN

Another Vital Vocaaaaab!

So the first Vital Vocab I posted had to do with Bea leaving, Anthony and Shade running after her. Bea had stolen the Army's jewels, but why? And where is she going? Well here's the new update for that!! :O

      I ran and ran, my breathing hard, my lungs refusing to accept anymore running, but I kept at it. I didn’t want to be caught. So I dealt with the burning until I reached a large tree, reaching the sky. I smiled, panting. “Yo!” I shouted.
      A man dropped down, graceful and precise. He stood and smiled at me, noticing the bag at my hip. “So you really went through with it, huh, Beatrix.” He said, strolling up to me and taking the bag. He weighed it and nodded. “Good job.” I smiled, appreciating the kudos.
      “Why did you need the jewels again, Nate?” I asked, trying to control my breathing. We started walking and the tree opened up to us as we stepped into a tunnel. He tied the bag to his belt, before turning to me and flashing a smile.
      “It’ll help us not be so latent anymore. As you can see we’re minuscule, this will help us grow, develop. Also, it’s a nice message to the Army.” He added as the tunnel opened up to the clearing, a large tree hollowed out to make room for a small rebel army, the Shadows. I grinned, jubilant of how much I was helping the Shadows. That’ll show you, Lizzie, Hank, Tyler. I’m useful.
      “Anyways, I’ll take you to Lea. She’ll show you where you need to go.” He started walking up the stairs, but paused. “Except, ah, don’t judge her too harshly. She’s a bit...special.” He tapped his head. “Very smart. Mmh...too smart, really. She’s a bit laconic. When she does speak, it’s too fast for us to understand sometimes.” He gave a small, exasperated smile, but there was something behind his eyes; I came to realize that it was lucid that he liked her. I smirked, rolling my eyes.
    “Lead the way, loverboy.”

*waggles eyebrows* Nate's got a crush on an insaaaaane girrrrl~~

More Cosplay! (Part Three)

My gosh! Sorry guys, I almost completely forgot about this thing, I was so caught up in posting my Vital Vocabs, I guess it just got away from me. Anyways, hello friends! Here's the new installment of my adventures of Banzai.
So last we left off, I had a terrible night's sleep because of my friends, and the next morning Madison left and was replaced with Sara (and Gabe)! So we were rudely awoken at an ungodly time, and had to get ready. That day, Saturday, I was going to be Human!Aradia. The reason it's human is because Aradia is actually a troll, with horns and grey skin. Here's a picture:

Anyways, the reason I was doing Human!Aradia is because I didn't have her horns yet (they are really hard to make because they're big ram horns bluh), and I don't really know how to paint my skin grey yet. At least, without getting it smudged EVERYWHERE. So anywho, I made the shirt and used my Jade wig and skirt. I'm good at reusing. :3 Here's what the shirt looked like:

This is really the only picture I have of this cosplay. I gave up half way through the day.

So as we left I had to take everything with me because I was staying with Tori that night. When we got there, it was hopping and it was beautiful. With nice weather and fun games, and a rave to look forward to that night, I was excited. The day went uneventful (except for me almost killing Sara), and at the end of the day, we hit the rave.
Now, the rave was held in a massive room and the lights were blinking. Lots of people were there, along with Slenderman, and a DJ that looked exactly like David Tennant, 10th Doctor clothes and all. He was pretty attractive. So we danced, and danced, until it was around 11:30. Then my friends had to go and I had to get to the hotel room. But when we got outside, I ah, I hit the wall. When I hit the wall, I get really dumb and silly, as if I'm drunk. I'd spin around and laugh and fall over. My friends knew they couldn't leave me there so they dragged my butt to my hotel and sent me up the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, I fell over.
That woke me up. I felt really embarrassed but I managed to swallow it down as I made my way to the hotel room. Now, if you've ever been to a con, you'll know staying in a hotel equals a heck of a mess with all of your cosplay. Now, take that, and add about...eight people. And make the room the size of a school bathroom. Yeah, that's where I was staying. I was on the pull out couch and two others slept with me. But that wasn't exactly all.
When we all hit the hay, ah...the girl next to me was a restless sleeper. And by that I mean, she pushed me right to the edge of the bed. I basically had one leg on the bed the other off. Eventually I sighed and slowly and quietly got out of the bed and grabbed my cat pillow, stuck him on the floor, pulled my thin jacket over me, and slept on the freezing, hard ground. Worst sleep than at Siri's house, really. When morning came no one really noticed I was on the floor until the girl who pushed me off looked over and gasped.
"Oh gosh, did you sleep on the ground? Are you cold? Come on, get up here and be warm!"
I'm going to stop here because I realized I ah, I really rambled. Next time I'll talk about my final day at Banzai with my crazy morning, hanging out with complete strangers, and having a photoshoot!! Bye, guys!

Happy New Year, and a New Post!

So, I've been gone for a while, and I feel like I should post. So here's another Vital Vocab! The thing behind my writing is I use the characters from a book I'm writing with my friends for this. :3

     I was immersing myself in my music, my eyes closed and nodding slightly to the beat when my earbuds were ripped from my ears. “A-Ah, what the he--?” I started, but looked up to see an extremely angry Anthony above me. My earbuds dangled from his fist, and I shrunk a little. “H-How did you get in here?” I asked quietly, glancing at my door. There was no sign of damage, lock picking, anything. I swallowed.
     Anthony, on the other hand, dropped my earbuds onto my lap, and shut the door. Then he turned back to me, his face calm but his eyes giving away his fury. “You didn’t do your job!” He seethed, and I shrunk back farther. “Do you even realize the amount of trouble you’re in, Bea?!” I looked down, fiddling with my hands.
     “Ah...I just, I...didn’t feel up to it....” I mumbled lamely. “It was just a simple assassination, couldn’t anyone else do it?” Anthony slammed his hand down on the table behind me and I jumped.
     “Dammit, no!” He gave me a haughty look, and I felt disappointment fill me up. “This isn’t an optional thing, Bea! We need to carry out our duties or we’ll be punished. That’s one of the rules.” I didn’t reply, shaking slightly. After a few tense moments, Anthony sighed, done with his harangue. He collapsed onto my bed, and ran a hand through his hair.
     “I just don’t want you to get hurt. You’re new here, you clearly don’t understand this. Everyone has specific jobs, specific ranks for them. It’s...a hierarchy, you could say. With Jade as our main Leader.” He murmured, and I felt a twinge of guilt. He continued, looking up at me. “Just, please be careful. Just do your jobs how they are. If you don’t...who knows what’ll happen next time.” I sighed a little.
     “Alright, Anthony. I will.” I said, standing. I glanced at my door again. "Ah...how did you get in here, though?” He glanced at the door as well, smiling weakly.
     “Well, we all have our tricks.” He stood, and pulled me into a hug, kissing my forehead. “Hypothetically speaking though, you could have left your door unlocked.” I blinked as he pulled away and walked to the door. “There’s a meeting in an hour. Please, don’t be late.” And then he was gone, leaving me with a slow chill spreading through me.
     Who knows what’ll happen next time.

 Hope you enjoyed it~
