Persona in '10!

[Red Spark]

@Hekiru: Just a bit of random trivia, but I think that at Sakuracon '09, I saw a mascot/Bearsuit Teddy.  Might've just been the construction of the outfit, but the head portion looked kind of...deflated? Although, I imagine the cosplayer inside would be baking themselves in that thing. >_>

[Hekiru]

@YouLikeRice - Oh were there? I don't remember..... o___o But anyway, I'm just taking a break from Kumoricon 2010 and focusing on an actual vacation get-away. Why wouldn't you be going?

@Red Spark - AH! I completely forgot about that! I think I saw them with the Kanji cosplayer who used one of those "Wet Floor" warning signs as a weapon. Are you going to Sak this year?

[Red Spark]

@Hekiru: Nein, I'm not bound for Sakuracon this year. Whenever I attend cons, I only travel in a group with my friends, but this year, they've decided to forego Sakuracon mostly due to financial issues on their end.

...;_; Which means I don't get my annual Amtrak ride to Seattle this year.

[Serika]

@Red Spark: W-WHAAAAAAAAAAAT.  And this is the first year I'm GOING to Sakuracon! 


Also, content regarding Sakuracon!  I've been so stupidly busy, I've only got like 3 total(P3!!!) magnets 100% finished and I haven't even started my Izanami cosplay... So sad.  At least by Kumoricon it'll be okay, but as it is now I'm panicking ever so slightly.

Wow I should have made myself a Kumoricon thing a LONG time ago! (well I did I just forgot how to spell it and the password)

Ken!!! ~
Baw it's okay ;^;  I'll give you my love when I'm there~

[Serika]

I finished my goddess izanami outfit!  ...Well, that's a lie, I still have to hem it, but it's so close now it doesn't matter. 

Unfortunately, the wig is another story... It still has a lot of styling to go before it doesn't look like Einstein. 

[Serika]

I KNOW I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO DOUBLE POST, BUT IT'S PRETTY DEAD IN HERE. 

I'm making high-cut armor Yukari for AX this year.  Like, I'm set on it.  I'm determined to make this!!!  So if it's not too cold in September I can wear it to kumoricon. 

If not, then there's still schoolgirl Aigis. <3 (Also trying to convince my friend to be Elizabeth, and if she likes the game she wants to eventually do a robot!Metis/Aigis duo, but that won't be for at least a year.)

[crystalamaris]

Serika should remember me, hopefully.

I will be bringing Yosuke-chan if I show up, and hopefully will have a Souji-chan to accompany me.
BTW... Serika? Do you want me to bring those topcicle sticks again?

[Fachion-pari]

I wore Yosuke to Sakuracon. ouo
not sure if i'm bringing him to kumo, but i can try orz

Yosukeee~! <3
You should try and wear him! If not, no worries, we still want to see you!
To everyone else: I can't wait to see you guys, either~

[Serika]

Kumoricon's quite a ways away at this point, I don't think we need to worry about popsicle sticks.  We used chopsticks last year anyways, but I don't know if any of the other Persona cosplayers wanted to go out to eat again (even though it was delicious eeee). 

SO.  YUKIKO.  I SEE YOU LIST SHADOW YUKIKO IN YOUR SIGNATURE COUGH.  icouldtotallymakeit AND WOULDN'T IT BE BADASS TO HAVE A SHADOW GROUP GOING?  I could be... Shadow Rise I guess (and lol poledance on the stairs again) and I'd totally make a dominatrix outfit for Chie if she would wear it.  Ha.  Ha.  And then we all make out. 

Also Dana should totally bring her Yosuke, because it sounds like YouLikeRice won't be able to make it this year, and I cry myself to sleep every night with this news...

[Fachion-pari]

Kumoricon is in like...4 and a half months away, correct? xDD That's a bit of time, I guess. :]
AND YES, SERIKA. SHADOW GROUP = AWESOME. (We'll see if I can afford it, though...)
YoulikeRice isn't coming? Baawww. We'll miss you, dear!
 

[Fachion-pari]

A shadow group would be so cool.
dark eye makeup and yellow cons 8D

if only we had a male Kanji willing to do that....

Oh, I wish too!
I should probably go to the eye doctor and get some contacts... .__.;;

[Serika]

I...I have a literally crippling fear of putting things in my eyes (I was watching Top Model, and when they were putting in contacts I didn't realize until several minutes later I was VIOLENTLY SHAKING.) so contacts would be waaay too scary for me... But I'm not terrible at photoshop, so if we did do a shadow group you guys could just send the pictures my way. |D

My God though, if I go through with everything Kumoricon '10 will be Persona year for me.  Aigis, Shadow Rise, Yukari... Maybe I'll only wear Yukari in summer, it might be too cold to wear in portland in fall. 

[YouLikeRice]

You guys should show me some of the cool photos that you took at Sakuracon. I've already seen Serika's photos and they were A-MA-ZING!

@Fachion: I'll miss you too. D: And I like your new avatar. XD

[Serika]

@danayoki: There are ways to get around this!!  WATCH AS I SPOUT SUPER NERD.  This post is vaguely spoilery for Persona 4 shadows, but no plot points are revealed??
All of the shadow bosses are made of a cross between their shadow forms and their Personas.  Except mitsuo but no one cares about him.  ...and yukiko's is just kind of weird. 
-Kanji's Persona: Big scary beat you up man.  Kanji's shadow: Super gay.  Kanji's boss: Big scary beat you up *gay* man. 
Say we didn't know Kanji's shadow.  Take away the BIG SCARY BEAT YOU UP MAN of his Persona, and you get... GAY?? and from there we could have made some crazy (insensitive) caricature of gay Kanji for his shadow form. 
Chie's Persona: Yellow clad Kill Bill esque ninja-type...chick, I guess? Chie's boss: yellow clad dominatrix sitting on herself.  THEREFORE, it's sort of accepted that if Chie had her own dungeon she would have had a dominatrix shadow (who uses people as furniture ololol). 
Yosuke's a little weird though...
Yosuke's Persona: what the hell is this?? V shape, scarf, disco/cami clothes.  Yosuke's boss: DISCO NINJA FROG? 
Get rid of the disco and you're left with a sort of... crazy... frog thing with a lot of arms!  SO, YOSUKE'S SHADOW is sleek, reptillian, and doesn't like electricity.  Unfortunately I hate Yosuke too much to even attempt to come up with a serious answer, but maybe some of the bigger fans of Yosuke have an idea??

[Salehthesage]

Shadow Ken....?

Not really, I just feel left out ~ <3

[Fachion-pari]

Shadow Ken....?

Not really, I just feel left out ~ <3

You won't be left out, Ken!
You can hide under my dress~
@Youlikerice: Haha, thank you. Serika wanted us to do that pose. xD

[Seraph]

So what you do for Seta?

[Sporky-chan]

Hey, just a heads up saying that I'll be Rise to go with Fachion-pari's Yukiko at this year's KumoriCon :>

[DewbMonster]

Hey, just a heads up saying that I'll be Rise to go with Fachion-pari's Yukiko at this year's KumoriCon :>

HEY YOU! Don't forget about Chie!!! D': Lmao Jk (But no really don't forget me)

[Serika]

AND.  DON'T FORGET THE FIRST THREE GAMES, THEY'RE PRETTY COOL TOO. 

Or, well, I shouldn't be talking, I've only played FES and a VERY short session of Innocent Sin before my computer died and since then the ROM hasn't been that...functional.  BUT STILL. 

...I really like Maya's outfit, with the boob hearts.  If I ever got the chance to play Eternal Punishment and liked her character, I'd totally want to make that. |D

[Fachion-pari]

This poor thread needs more love!
How about a question to keep it alive?
How ready are you for Kumori-con right now? I'd say only about 25% ready, personally, haha!
@Serika: I wouldn't mind playing the first games, but I'm busy playing Devil Survivor! @_@

[Red Spark]

I'm absolutely not ready at all! : D

I usually save the two or three months preceding the con to really focus on getting my cosplay ready...mostly because I usually wear just one or two  fairly simple outfits. >_>

(Also: Did anyone notice that hiimdaisy updated with her third Persona 4 comic? )

[Salehthesage]

(Also: Did anyone notice that hiimdaisy updated with her third Persona 4 comic? )

NO ONE TELLS ME!!!1!

I noticed, but it was after everyone else had > >

and I do the same thing Red Spark. Except I only normally do one or two, and then I improve as years go on.

[Serika]

XD I did, but I didn't feel an extreme need to point it out.  I'm sorry. 

I'm 0% done with Aigis... All I know is I might buy a friend's old wig that she bought and didn't like.  Hoping to make her in July, 'cause I've got a few other things I'm making for AX (if I go) and no way am I wearing a long sleeve black uniform to LA in summer. 

also eeew devil survivor. ): I super don't like that one.

I really hope you can make it to AX!
Aw, well, so far I like devil survivor, haha. xD
(School is almost out..! I'm so excited! *3* )

[KHking]

Looks like I'm to busy this year to do any Persona cosplay 

[Serika]

Oh no!  Well...maybe you can come by the photoshoot?

Since there's now a 2010 photoshoot thread does anyone want to plan a time or day yet, or should we wait until it's a liiiiittle closer to the con? 

[Fachion-pari]

We probably should plan, haha. So first would be what day is apropriate for everyone? Seeing as I'm bringing two versions of Yukiko, any day really works. The only not working day is probably Monday, where Chie, our Rise and I are doing Durarara cosplays for sure.
Oh, and another thing, are we all thinking of maybe going out to dinner again? Possibly doing a Kings Game? Just some questions to think about, since we're already in mid June. :]

[StarryShay]

Herro everyone! xD
I just started the game yesterday.....amazing.
I am madly in love with Chie, so I'ma cosplay her! x333
♥♥

[StarryShay]

YOU
ARE
BEING
YOSUKE?
HOLY EFF.
That makes me super happy. xDDDD
I ISH START ON IT NOW.
Or rather, start saving so I can commission it from meep. >o>
LULZ YAY.

[Serika]

Well I hope you two realize that the official Chie couple within our group is Chie/Yukiko so be prepared for some hot yuri.  And Also Yukiko/Ken but that is a beast of its own.  (and you guys reaaally don't want me to start on a rant about why yosuke/chie isn't a legitimate couple given in-game...evidence.)

Yeah, assuming I can get my hotel stuff straight (AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRHGGGHGH) then I'll be having King's Game in my hotel room so we can make it a bit more risque.  Would still love to go out to dinner beforehand, though! (on that note... anyone interested in sharing a hotel room?  currently it's got BOTH SEXES!!! mostly female.  I've got a couple of people pending who were Dojima and Adachi in Seattle, but I've had a hard time keeping in contact with them so I'm not exactly sure how that's working right now.  I'm losing hope.)

Any day works for me, except Day zero but I'm pretty sure none of you would really want that.  Again, would prefer it in the evening so I don't have to leave the artist alley early.  If we went out to dinner beforehand, would you all want to go to the same location we were in before?  Probably not playing King's Game there though, we were getting pretty crazy...

[StarryShay]

[Red Spark]

With regards to the King's Game:
I think the dinner's a good idea. Allows everyone to socialize before the King's Game and get to know who's who, etc.

'Though as far as the restaurant of choice goes, I wouldn't mind a revenue with a cheaper menu, but I won't object to defaulting to last year's location, either. I enjoyed the soybeans they served as appetizers.

Eh. Guess it goes without saying that a repeat of the way things were planned last time sounds good to me.

Oh good lord, it's summer, isn't it?
I need to stop by Goodwill and get myself some clothes to make Ryoji out of, before it's too late. ;_;

OMGIREMEMBERTHAT.
I love your Yosuke. * u *

[Serika]

@Red Spark: I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE SEXYTIME LOVE/HATE PHOTOSHOOTS WITH YOU.  IT'LL BE BADASS. 

I'm fine moving it somewhere cheaper.  Does everyone want Japanese food again?  I'd like to stick close to the hotel because...I do, and I'm sure no one else really wants to walk more than a mile.  I'm not sure if there ARE other Japanese food places downtown, but I'll try to find a day to scope out the area again.  If you guys are fine going somewhere cheaper without a focus on Japanese food, that's fine too.  We could also...order food for my room maybe, if everyone pitched in?  Haha, I'm not sure.  Let me know what you guys think. 

Also, if we're not playing king's game at the restaurant, there's a chance some of us might be a bit shy-er and not want to speak up about ourselves.  What if we had a cute little get to know you game (one that's way more badass than the first day of school) with little questions like... Who are you cosplaying, how are you like them, what's the one thing you hate about your character, as well as more generic questions like WHAT'S YOUR NAME, favorite game, address, social security number, best/worst con experience, things like that. 
Y/N?  I won't be offended if all of you HATE!!!! my idea. 

[StarryShay]

Social..security number, bahahaha. xDDDD
I think that's a great idea~!
I love the King's game. = u =
And a cute little get to know you game is funfun too!

Anyone know of good Chie wigs? ; - ;

[Fachion-pari]

I would also like the resturant to be somewhat closer than last time, but if not, the same place is nice. Ken and I could have another round in the bathroom. JUST KIDDING, GUYS. HAHA.
Anyways, maybe the King's Game could be at that table near the revolving doors again, for back up? In case Serika's hotel room poses a problem for any King's Game participants? (Like possibly us...Curse my worrisome mother!) But anyways, Chie and I are totally excited for this year's Persona photoshoot/fun times.
@StarryShay: Hello~! Another Chie is always welcome! :]

[StarryShay]

Yaaay, thanks Dana. :'D
Do you think I should get that one?
It looks a bit thin.

Pari- Thank you. :33333

[StarryShay]

I dun want an alright wig, I want an AMAZING wig. ;33
Hehe, I like that one though~
Yer kind of a wig expert so whateva yew think ish gud. >n>

Have you tried Amphigory yet? They have a few good wigs, or so we've seen.
http://amphigory.com/wigs.html
My Chie and I agreed there are two or three that could be a nice Chie wig, styled or not. :]

Why would you kid about such a thing?! -got excited-
Keep your minds out of the gutter guys...

On the restaurant, I'm fine with whatever. I'm not a big sushi/japanese food fan, but I can find something on the menu I might like wherever I go.

In case Serika's hotel room poses a problem for any King's Game participants? (Like possibly us...Curse my worrisome mother!)

What your mother doesn't know won't hurt her : D

<333 Oh, I love you, Ken.
And I guess it's true, what she doesn't know won't hurt her.

[Serika]

We'll set, um, limits.  NO UNPROTECTED SEX GAAIIIIZZZ.

Also, since Adachi and Dojima aren't coming through it sounds like (I haven't heard from them in over a month...) MITSURU we had last year is going to be in my room with me!  Along with her friend who I think was dressed as.. ...I don't remember.  Not that this affects any of you besides me, but still.  Not sure if my Mitsuru will want to cosplay Mitsuru again though, we'll see.

[StarryShay]

Who all do we have in this group?
Since there's already a Chie, I was thinking about maybe being Rise or Naoto. = u =

EDIT: Haha, looking back over the thread, there are multiple Naoto's, and maybe a Rise or two. = u =
I dunno who I wanna beeeee.

[Red Spark]

Well, as far as Persona 3 goes, we've got Ryoji and Aigis, possibly also the game's Protagonist/Minato, if I feel like reusing my cosplay. >_>

And, uh...

...well, I have no idea about who all from Persona 4 we've got. I only just realized how many P4 cosplayers there seem to be. o_o

[StarryShay]

Hehe, okays.
I might end up not cosplaying it this year, and doing it next year or something.
I am super in love with P4, but I'm not sure if I wanna start the cosplay yet. *n*
