OOC on Con Cam
Sanada : WOW. This is SO BIG.
Sanada : I'd never be able to finish it! WOW!
Sanada : And he has all these snacks! I love cosplaying! WOW!
Jun : Er, Sanada? Honey? You're on camera.
Sanada : O__O!!! Sorrysorrysorrysorry -
Acting Perils...
Sanada : *as Ryouma* Buchou...suki da.
Si Ye : *as Tezuka* ...Aah.
M : Cut! Perfect! Good job, boys!
Si Ye : ...
Si Ye : ...I think I'm traumatised.
...And Their Consequences
Sanada : I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT TO SHIYA-SAN.
Yanagi : Well. You did.
Sanada : PLEASE LET ME DIE NOW.
Syd : I don't know, boy. I'd have jumped that hot piece of flesh if I were you.
Yanagi : ...
Sanada : ...
I don't want to live.
Yanagi : There, there.
Sanada : My life is over.
Yanagi : Drown your sorrows in Fanta. You'll feel better in the morning.
NSFW
Tsukisou : *as Oshitari* Are you so sure that doing it here would be for the best, hmm?
Seishurou : *as Atobe* It would certainly inject some life into this dreary fare, don't you think?
Seishurou : *as Atobe* And you *are* so charmingly dressed for...easy access...
Tsukisou : *as Oshitari* As you wish...buchou... *smirk*
M : Okay. OKAY STOP RIGHT THERE. Cut!
Tsukisou : Thank you!
Seishurou : Oh, come on! You have got to be kidding! Just a few inches more...
Got Milk?
Si Ye : I don't like this. One bit.
Seishurou : And you think I enjoy posing with you under my absolute control?
...Well, what do you know. I do.
Si Ye : ...That's it! I'm not standing for this anymore!
M : Okay okay...next shot!
Seishurou : I rather enjoy being this Atobe fellow.
Seishurou : He certainly gets to cavort with quite a harem.
Jun : You know what's the funny thing? They're all taller than he is.
Seishurou : ...If you say anything about art imitating life...
Jun : >D Yes?
Seishurou : Drop. Dead.
Seishurou : What now.
Sanada : Yappa gyuunyuu, deshou?
Jun + M : BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Sanada : I don't know what's going on. They told me to say it.
*Note : The in-joke is in reference to the series they're cosplaying from, where the main character
[Ryouma] is notably short, and is thus told to drink milk to grow faster. In the
musical, Inui, the sempai who is a living testament to the incredible growing powers of
milk, gets the line - "Yappa gyuunyuu, deshou." - which, used here by us, roughly
translates to something like : "True to form, milk, don't you agree?"
The Long Goodbye
Of course, which visit of Syd and Xion's would be complete without the prerequisite
Long Goodbyetm?
Syd : Oh, moonchild, this visit was much too short...
Tsukisou : Seishurou-sama!!!
Tsukisou : Seishurou-sama?!!
Seishurou : If only you could stay awhile, dear Xion...
Tsukisou : And I thought cosplaying was bad enough.
Con Report
Baka Matsuri 2004
...as according to Seishurou and Tsukisou...
Tsukisou : ...
Seishurou : ...You do realise this took place more than six months ago?
Jun : ^^;; Okay, okay, my bad.
...as according to Jun...
As above mentioned, this report comes more than six months late. ^^;; Is that any excuse
to cop out on a proper con report? YES. Thank you very much. Let's just say that, from
the moment we found out that the con was going to be called BAKA MATSURI,
we should've guessed we'd be better off not going. Instead of trusting our instincts and
bailing ship, we stayed up for a sleepless week, and, without any sleep whatsoever for
the previous few days, braved our way to the con with six boys in six costumes rushed
out in six days. Actually, less. Say, three?
As it was, I can't say that the con was very exciting. There were relatively little people
there, a situation attributable to the petty, immature, squabbling cosplay management
scene in singapore, where a second cosplay organisation held an event on the preset
date for deliberate direct competition. Whatever dude. Singapore's too small. The event
hosts gave me a spanking headache. But that might also be in part due to sleep
deprivation. Actually, I don't remember much of the event. Except that we'd printed
factsheets about BJD, and most of them were distributed. I was knitting. Sleep-deprived.
Trying not to puke. Luckily Fox was there with us, visiting Singapore with her family [and
Syd and Xion], and made sure that nobody made off with any of the boys in my drunken
stupor.
In the meantime, M was rushing around, being head of her 30-odd member TeniPuri
group. The less of this is said the better, because the committee messed up the mikes on
their very-rehearsed musical routine. Kthxbye. You can see why we're not impressed.
Better luck next time.
...as according to M...
Like Jun, I can't say much about the con. If I wasn't running around rehearsing with my
PoT group, taking pictures with my PoT group and getting my PoT group's splendidly
rehearsed performance screwed over by a incredibly badly-laid sound system, I was
asleep behind our booth. Genuinely asleep. I think the fact that I didn't actually miss much
indicates to you how exciting the con was. I was, however, extremely proud of the PoT
cosplays our boys did - those little uniforms, are MUCH harder than how they look. It was
also the first time they were properly cosplaying the same series as I was, and I was
VERY dorkily excited about that [regretfully, we were SO exhausted that we forgot to
take a picture of my boys with my PoT group, and myself. T___T]. Um, we got a good
response about the SD just like the year before, except it was much easier on our
fatigued selves because they had fliers to educate them. XD;; And it was really, really
nice of Fox to come along, I'm so sorry the con was so um, unexciting, and look over the
booth for us and bring her lovely boys along, Syd and Xion, in pretty pretty clothes,
thank you.
If anyone who actually went to the con, and don't know us personally, is reading this,
and if you're one of the people who wanted to buy some of the pictures in the album on
display, thank you for asking, and the next event hopefully will have postcards on sale -
and thank you, for your support.
Oh my God, just writing about this con makes me want to fall asleep.
