omigaaah
Now we have to go just to say hi and gush at them.

Good news on the AnE front. The subs are coming out on the 20th, SO WE CAN WATCH IT ALL TOGETHER AT SAK MAYBE?

One of Starfighter's primary redeeming characteristics is that the story itself acknowledges that Abel and Cain have an awful relationship, based primarily on manipulation. And it doesn't even try to justify it. It just porns.

I'M GOING TO CALL YOU AND YELL ABOUT THIS

Hashi/Emilee: I don't know if you'll check this before you leave, but you should text me when you get here. I'm out of class at 11.30.

Hashi · « **Reply #4105 on:** April 15, 2011, 05:46:01 am »

@Felix : Kay! Will-do. Jaqua's tagging along as well. The tour starts at 2, and.. well we hope to be there early but we'll see how that goes.

Malaria · « **Reply #4106 on:** April 15, 2011, 01:04:08 pm »

CONTACTS YEAH
The left one is stupid uncomfortable for some reason, so I dunno how well I'll be able to wear them around all day as Connie.

Auricle · « **Reply #4107 on:** April 15, 2011, 09:33:21 pm »

@Cassi: You'd make me a button? ' o ' That would be frickin' awesome! Y-you don't have to if you don't want to or don't have time though. ' 3 '

@Malaria: Aaw, I wanna squish your cheeks~ Your contacts look pretty darn cool. : D Are they prescription strength or are you going to be wearing your normal glasses over them? ' w '

Heeey so I'm sort of most of the way through Homestuck. It's eaten all of my time for the past couple days. :'D and brainsplosion

And I'm going to Stumptown Comics Fest tomorrow. Really I'm just escorting my sister to it.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #4109 on:** April 16, 2011, 12:59:08 am »

Auricle, It's pretty easy to make one. I'll do it. Does anyone else want a button as well?

Malaria · « **Reply #4110 on:** April 16, 2011, 09:31:05 am »

Auricle: They're plano, so I'll be wearing my glasses and then being blind in my fakes, depending on the weather.

You should've said something! We were going to do a group read after Sakuracon. Mostly because Hannah needs me to hold her hand through the process.

Charly: M-maybe. I don't really wear pins anymore, though, so it might be a waste.

Snazzy toolbelt~

Team Juggernaut: I thought I would mention that I've been to several different places looking for some good banner paper but have found none, I'm finding tons of poster boards though (obviously.) I was able to find some ribbons at Michaels, unfortunately they did not have enough for one style so I had to get a few different ones with a similar color scheme, and none of their ribbons were very plain. My other computer where I upload my pictures was infected with a virus last night. I was going to upload some pictures of them but I don't know if that's looking too likely now :T
So did you want me to go ahead and get a poster board? Or do you think ribbons will be enough?

Malaria · « **Reply #4114 on:** April 17, 2011, 05:51:42 pm »

KAT HI ARE YOU GOING TO SAKURACON?

Rebecca: I think poster board wouldn't go amiss. Of course, you've already spent all this money, so I wouldn't blame you if you didn't wanna spend anymore.

I tried my red contacts again today, and they are really uncomfortable to the point where I'm afraid of doing damage. I dunno, guys, I could maybe wear them for an hour to get some quick photos, but I wouldn't wear them all day or even for like, three hours. On the other hand, I finally got my Rin blues, and I'm excited to try those on. <3

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #4115 on:** April 17, 2011, 06:12:53 pm »

^I agree. Ok, I'll be sure to post pics of the ribbons once my computer is fixed orz.

Hashi · « **Reply #4116 on:** April 17, 2011, 08:10:07 pm »

Hey, Hey valeria you know what you should do? Stop looking up other people's cosplay and work on your own because you have 4 days to finish Connie and Rin.

Amaimon wig is styled, Mephisto is almost entirely done except for hat trim, outer cape and sewing on the already painted buttons. I still need to work on Peter but if need be, he'll be done in like.. 3 or 4 hours.

I still have so much homework you guyyysss ugggghhh also my dorm room is horrible. its terrifying. it scares me. so much wig hair, from like 5 wigs, and scraps of fabric, and general cosplay mess but its all coated in hair. my bed. is coated in hair.

Kero-sempai · « **Reply #4117 on:** April 17, 2011, 10:27:22 pm »

I kind of know what's going on in this thread maybe a little but GOOD JOB ON GETTING STUFF DONE, GUYS. 8D I'm proud of you!

@Britany: Most fabulous Shiemi ever. srsly
Hey, would it be okay for me to drop off Valeria's Rin tie sometime soon? I kind of want to toss it at you while you're packing, so that it assuredly gets into a suitcase, because I had a terrible dream about it not getting to Sak for some reason or another, and as cool as it was, it did freak me out a bit. Although I have to admit, Jaqua, you make an excellent Guy Who Invents All The Cool Gadgets and Stays At HQ To Yell At The Mission Team Over Comlink character.
Call me soon, if it's not too much trouble? ;;

@Felix: that picture is so beautiful omigod XDDD Even the horses are assassins!

And something I meant to reply to forever ago, but never got around to:

Cain is crazy, guys!

NEWSFLASH
Is it silly of me to say that, on one of the recent pages where Cain shows off his ninja skillz, I was rather disappointed that there was no "SHOOP-!" sound effect to compliment the "THOK!" one? 8I;

Malaria · « **Reply #4118 on:** April 17, 2011, 11:19:15 pm »

I HATE WOMEN'S CLOTHES
SO MANY DARTS AAAAGH

So I homeworked, then sewed. Now I'm sewing until Elina decides she can't listen to the sewing machine anymore, and then MORE HOMEWORK. And then SEW AND HOMEWORK MORE tomorrow. SLEEP THURSDAY.

Hashi, I totally forgot Rin wig with you. Whoops. ._.

goatchild · « **Reply #4119 on:** April 18, 2011, 12:28:59 pm »

@Valeria re:contacts: If they were that uncomfortable, it is possible that you accidentally put them in inside out, or they got little particles of something stuck in them. Did you try taking them out, washing them off, and trying again? And you have eyedrops, right? : x

@Rebecca: I am excited for whatever awesome Team Juggernaut paraphernalia you're making! 8DD

So like Hashi said, Amaimon wig is done. And now my car smells very strongly of hairspray, just from having that wig sit in it. I'm sure my parents will appreciate that. XD I'll post some photos later today.

As a side note, is anyone who's riding up with us allergic to dog or cat hair? I am going to clean out the van thoroughly, but I just want to make sure.

goatchild · « **Reply #4120 on:** April 18, 2011, 01:28:25 pm »

Soooo not to ruin the idea of a group view of the first episode of Ao no Exorcist buuuut guess what's already out? 8DD It's also up on zomganime and other anime viewing sites. Just in case you all needed another distraction to keep you from getting your costumes done.

Malaria · « **Reply #4121 on:** April 18, 2011, 05:47:21 pm »

I'm pretty sure I tried both ways, but I'll try again today and hope for the best.

WHILE I REMEMBER
SLEEPING BAGS
We have sleeping room for four, maybe five people to sleep in beds. THAT MEANS THE REST OF YOU NEED SOMETHING TO SLEEP ON. I think Yagi has a couple bags she can bring. What about everyone else?

sk_chan · « **Reply #4123 on:** April 19, 2011, 08:54:46 am »

I have a bag for myself.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #4124 on:** April 19, 2011, 09:30:19 am »

I am officially taking the bus up to Portland and back from.

Is it okay if I sleep on the bed at least one night? I don't want to get in the way or be selfish or anything but I want to get over my sickness, and sleeping on the floor will not do good things for me ;n;

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #4125 on:** April 19, 2011, 09:55:46 am »

I have a sleeping bag I can bring, and an extra if anyone needs it!

Malaria · « **Reply #4126 on:** April 19, 2011, 10:28:34 am »

Charly: So pick you up after 11, and drop you off before 6?
That's totally reasonable. My next question was if there was anyone who really needed to sleep on the bed.

Emilee: You should probably bring it.

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #4127 on:** April 19, 2011, 10:39:00 am »

Will do!

I wasn't going to say anything but if you're asking... I'd liiike to be able to sleep on the bed at least one night (I inherited some really annoying back problems). It's manageable, either way, so it's not a necessity! But I'm also willing to chip in extra for it, 'cause... bed. XD

Hashi · « **Reply #4128 on:** April 19, 2011, 11:15:55 am »

Im fine with the floor all 3 nights, so that should free some space up. I'll just bring blankets and things

Malaria · « **Reply #4129 on:** April 19, 2011, 11:19:02 am »

Emilee: With you on the back problems! How about once we get to Sak, we mock up a schedule-type thing?

So I had a couple extra minutes between all the million things, so I tried on my Rin contacts. Holy crap I love these. The color isn't too green at all. <333 TOTALLY WEARING THESE OUT TO CLASS TODAY

Hashi · « **Reply #4130 on:** April 19, 2011, 03:39:41 pm »

Oh sh*** the ex from canada who dumped me saying she just wasnt gay anymore just im'ed me and is telling me how she never stopped loving me and just wtf. wtf hayley.

i dont know why im saying this here. Just because no one is online to instant message so Im ranting here.

why life. why do you do this to me.

Hashi · « **Reply #4131 on:** April 20, 2011, 11:47:44 am »

Right okay so I killed the thread last night. Regardless, Im almost done with the hat band, ive sewed on the buttons and m in the process of making small stitches to keep the lapels down. The boots are drying from a second coat of paint.

AURRIIICCLLLEEE Do you still have those purple gloves??

OH OH
AND TO EVERYONE RIDING TO SAK FROM PORTLAND. YOU SHOULD BE T MY DORM ROOM BETWEEN NOON AND 1PM. i know it seems early. but we need time to gther everyones things, possibly grab lunch and be ready to file into the van without any problems.

Jaqua needs to be there by 6 pm I beleive for the Scott Pilgrim shoot, so I was thinking, since Valeria, you have to visit your parents. If those who are ready and want to go in Yagi's van, we could leave earlier.

EDIT FOR A THIRD TIME:
Guys i need to go http://www.montrealcompletementcirque.com/ A MONTH OF CIRCUS ARTS IN MONTREAL HHNNNNGGGH

Malaria · « **Reply #4132 on:** April 20, 2011, 12:22:48 pm »

That sounds reasonable. I'll just pick up the second wave of people. Just to make our lives easier, we should put as much stuff as possible in Yagi's van, since I think I'm taking Big Sister? And I dunno how well I'll be able to fit stuff around that.

I WANNA GO WITH YOU. BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I WOULD APPRECIATE IT LESS, I STILL WANT IT

Malaria · « **Reply #4133 on:** April 20, 2011, 12:27:15 pm »

ALSO EMILEE SEEING AS I AM NEVER GOING TO SLEEP AGAIN YOU SHOULD REALLY RIDE WITH ME IN CASE I NEED TO SWITCH OFF
BECAUSE I'D RATHER NOT CRASH AND KILL US ALL ON THE WAY TO SEATTLE

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #4134 on:** April 20, 2011, 12:30:57 pm »

NO PROBLEM, I LOVE NOT DYING, IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO

Just tell me where to be and when!

Hashi · « **Reply #4135 on:** April 20, 2011, 12:34:34 pm »

OKAY SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. EVERYONE FOR THE FIRST WAVE OF PEOPLE CAN MEET AT MY DORM.

otherwise.. um. 2nd wave needs a place to meet. We decided that, Im good with highway driving so if we're in a suuupppperrr trouble bind thing, then I can drive for yagi. So Im going with first wave. Also, because i will most likely be sewing in seattle.

Speaking of which. I NEED MAROON TRIM. LIKE THE BIAS TAPE STUFF. in maroon. Because this lining fabric does not like the look nice for a hat trim. at all. it hates me. otherwise, hat trim is done.

Malaria · « **Reply #4136 on:** April 20, 2011, 12:41:39 pm »

EMERGENCY JOANN'S RUN FOR BIAS TAPE GO

uuuuuh well for a second meeting place I have no idea. I'd suggest meeting at my place, but I know not everyone can get a ride out there? UNLESS YOU CAN. PLEASE SAY YOU CAN. 'cause if so, meet at 2 at my parents'. Message me for address and my number if you need it.

So based on what's said so far
First wave has to be: Yagi, Hashi, Jaqua, Charly 'cause her bus drops her off at the Amtrak station
Second wave has to be: Me, Emilee, Tori
So that leaves Auricle.

AURICLE WHOSE CAR DO YOU WANNA RIDE UP IN?

Hashi · « **Reply #4137 on:** April 20, 2011, 12:56:03 pm »

PROOOGGREESSSS

i just need stiffer bias tape to finish it off..

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #4138 on:** April 20, 2011, 01:03:40 pm »

Oh my, that hat turned out FABULOUS. <3

Hashi · « **Reply #4139 on:** April 20, 2011, 01:07:16 pm »

thaanks

Also. The full cape prolly isnt getting done. but Ill finish the capelet for sure. itll still look great.

THINGS WILL BE DONE. THEY WILL. THEY WILL.

goatchild · « **Reply #4140 on:** April 20, 2011, 01:22:37 pm »

So I am totally cool with the whole 1st wave 2nd wave thing, but quick question: Valeria, do we need you to be there to check into the hotel? That would be good to know.

Also, I can bring 2 extra sleeping bags/big comforters if need be, an 1 extra pillow. I'll probably bring them up in the van, and if we don't need them then I'll leave them at Hashi's dorm to save space. Or use them for packing.

@Hashi: I WILL FINISH YOUR CAPE FOR YOU. IN SEATTLE. BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT. I BOUGHT YOU THE FABRIC FOR IT AND EVERYTHING. 8|

Hashi · « **Reply #4141 on:** April 20, 2011, 01:26:09 pm »

OKAY BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW ITS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TO-DO LIST FOR ME. I HAVE A CAPELET. THATS SOMETHING. ITS A CAPE. SO IF NEED BE. I HAVE TINY CAPE. Mephisto is almost done though other than that. the hat trim, styling the wig and finishing up the boots and umbrella which im doing in the van.

[size=18]HEY SK[/size]

Checkin for the hotel is at 4. This is the hotel: https://www.worldmarktheclub.com/resorts/st/
Call when you're in Seattle and we'll meet up and get your stuff into the room.
AND BRING A SLEEPING BAG. If you can.

Ok~ And yeah I already said I'm bringing a sleeping bag. Thanks~

I'm getting a ride from Bellingham to Issaquah at about 2pm so I'll probably be later than 4, but I'll call you when I get off the freeway to Seattle.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #4144 on:** April 20, 2011, 02:50:41 pm »

Yagi, it'd help me if you brought an extra sleeping bag so that way I don't have to lug an extra thing on the bus. :>

SO UM
I'm gonna be getting in at Union Station at 11:00. What do I do from there?

Also, cell phone numbers~ I'd like to have everyone's. PM me yours and I'll reply with mine?

And how much should I chip in for gas?

Edit: Can anyone help me in obtaining some thigh-high cream/white socks? I can't find any here, and need them for my Ranka costume which I'll be wearing at con. Could one of you maybe pick up a pair for me and I'll pay you back when we meet up, or is there any chance we could stop at Sock Dreams (because they'll probably have some!!) tomorrow when I'm up there in Portland before leaving for Seattle?

Malaria · « **Reply #4145 on:** April 20, 2011, 05:22:45 pm »

AMMENDING THE AMENDED PLAN
We're all meeting at Hashi's dorm. I'll still be a little late, but whatever.

Charly: PMing~
Poke at Hashi to come pick you up and take you home on the Max.

~$50 is gas and parking split between everyone, so any amount you can chip in towards that would be great.

uuuh I have no idea where to get you socks.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #4146 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:05:45 pm »

Malaria: Just to double check, I think you mentioned putting on sealant for the HiNaBN make-up the night before (so Thursday.) Is that a necessity? To be honest I'm not too confident with my Zombie cosplay and I don't want to wear it all day, could we just put the sealant on maybe a few hours before the shoot on Friday or something?

Malaria · « **Reply #4147 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:09:56 pm »

Yeah, that's fine. I never got to do a makeup test anyway, so it'd be safer to just do it the next day anyway.
Would you wanna apply makeup sometime at around 1 or 2, then?

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #4148 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:11:59 pm »

^That sounds swell

Auricle · « **Reply #4149 on:** April 20, 2011, 07:47:15 pm »

Um, so, we're all meeting at Hashi's dorm, right? I have one class tomorrow, it gets out at 1:00. When are we aiming to leave at? Oh, and about what size should I be aiming to compact my stuff into? I'm fine with riding in either vehicle~

@Hashi: Yes! I still have the purple gloves.
