Second Anual AkuRoku "Re-take" see first post.

[Konan-ChanX3]

They're hiding.. I dunno about Anna and Marie, they came last year. they might come this year. then again, I haven't talked to Marie in a while so I wouldn't know.
xD if you wanted to be, that's be alright with me

[muffineatingjackel]

I guess the best we can do is cross our fingers and hope they come outta hiding sometime in the next month and a half.
Haha, I'd look more like Demyx. With black hair. And boobs. Unless I got my hands on an Axel wig, which I highly doubt.

[Konan-ChanX3]

If anything I'll send Marie a note on DA and ask is she and Anna wanna come or not in a few weeks.
Fffftt I'm a Roxas with boobs, so unless I can find something to bind with. Fffffffuuu I hate binding...

[soundninja12]

Just because the focus is AkuRoku doesn't mean we can't have other couples (LuxXal anyone xD).
Last year 80% of us had no idea that we were supposed to be from KH >.>

[nekovamp13]

It's like the rest of the KH cast celebrating the special day that is AkuRoku Day ^^

I'm really gonna try and get Doe to get the wig asap! But if she can't get it in time, I'll just go as Riku and bring my Axel plushie for you Fal!

I hope they decide to come. The more the merrier right?
I think I'll still go as Xigbar. At least that's fairly accurate. The last thing we need is a wannabe black haired Demyx running around. It'd be like Demyx went goth. Heh, that's a funny image.
Oh, I have two ace bandages if you want to use one, they work pretty well. I thought about binding for all of thirty seconds, then I went Pffff no. I'd do it if you did though. We could suffer together.

Hey, I'm all for other couples, I'm not picky t all. Especially when camera's are involved.
how'd you manage to have so many people go to a KH themed picnic and not know it?

Ah man, you should bring that plushie anyway. I've never actually seen one of them before. I've seen lots of Roxas, and even Demyx. But I've never once laid eyes upon an Axel plushie.

It wasn't that well advertised that it was KH themed, and it wasn't that KH themed when we actually got there... (after Irene, Ang, Megan, and I found it >>)
It was, however, lots of fun.

[nekovamp13]

lol
Goth Demyx? Reminds of another convo about a black-haired Vexen XD
And I shall bring my plushie no matters what then! Just so no Roxas is without an Axel ^^

[Vexenification]

lol
Goth Demyx? Reminds of another convo about a black-haired Vexen XD

Hah! I almost had to do that this year because my wigs got mixed up with Cosworx

If I get my mind around to it, I think I might try styling my hair like Roxas' for this picnic. All i would need is some washout blonde dye, and some gravity glue, which luckily I have already! How'd you pull yours off last last Twiny?

[soundninja12]

I just noticed: Amy isn't on the awesome guest list! ;.;

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

neither am I and I plan to be there as xigbar as well.

[muffineatingjackel]

Double the Xigbar, double the awesome. 
Although, I'll admit, goth Demyx sounds like it might actually be kinda fun.

[nekovamp13]

My hair is like Goth Dem-Dem, without the mullet part XD

[muffineatingjackel]

Much as I hate to admit it, I actually have the mullet part. Sorta. It's not as wide in my hair as it is in Dem's though. It's where my mohawk continues down the back.

[soundninja12]

My mohawk does the same, and I'm blonde
My mohawk is just too long, and it's always multi-colored xP

[nekovamp13]

Nice. I used to have a mullet ^^; Not on purpose, but it looked like one >>

Anywhos.....Back on somewhat of a topic...
Good thing this is a friday ^^ So I can most likly go without missing celebration for my sis's b-day!

[Konan-ChanX3]

Yes, lets suffer together. I was actually just gunna go to dollar tree and pick up some heavy duty packing tape. I had a roll, but it got used up last halloween when I went trick or treating. Ffffffff that was not a fun time.. I left the binding on for three days, because I couldn't take it off xD

Katie, Amy needs to come post.

lol

Fuu, I'll just do what I did at the zoo and stuff Axel down my shirt.

@everyone: Kh themed indeed, AkuRoku oriented, other crack pairings are okay. It was just a thought of cracking down.

[muffineatingjackel]

Ow. owowow. Take my extra bandage, I can even make absolutely sure it's clean. Heavy duty tape is a terrible replacement. Ow. I hope you didn't lose any skin when you tired that for Halloween.

Oh, it didn't hurt when I took it off, I have a black sports bra that I used under the tape so it wasn't attached to my skin. But if you insist sure I'll take it
The reason I couldn't take it off was it actually helped with my chest pains and I was quite comfortable in it.

[Konan-ChanX3]

Double post:

I REALLY wanna see this at the picnic;

Oh. Oh good. Here I thought you attached it directly. I did that once. Ow.
anyway, I won't force you to use the ace bandage if you have something else that works. If you were really attaching the tape to your skin I'd make you, but you're not so it's ok. You can do whatever you prefer. The bandage isn't super long, so if you're "well endowed" it alone might not be enough. But if you want to use it, say the word and I'll bring it. 

And I second that motion. In fact, if I had a Riku wig, I'd totally do it.

Well, I did attach it to the skin once, and that was last Kumo, and wasn't very smart. I tore skin, and I couldn't crossplay for the rest of con.

Ffff if I had a Riku wig I'd wear it as well, since I've got everything minus the wig and tie.

[muffineatingjackel]

I'm not gonna insert a quote again. It seems redundant.
Anway, cosplayers: Gotta learn things the hard way.

Ok, I don't actually have any of that outfit. Or the wig. But if I did..... crossdressing crosplay. I love it.

[Konan-ChanX3]

I love crossplay, yup, I learned my lesson.

Ffff I'm gunna be getting a wig for Riku when I get a job D;

[muffineatingjackel]

I thought about cosplaying Riku. But he get's a lot of attention, and I probably wouldn't do a very good job on his clothes. And I remembered I'd rather cosplay another Orgy member anyway. My next wig purchase will be.... um... well either Larxene or Marluxia. I'm really undecided which I'd rather do. I thought about doing one of those two for the Akuroku picnic (which ever I settled on) But I might still be undecided by then.
 

[Konan-ChanX3]

Ahh, well I've got a Vexen cosplay lined up, that's gunna be interesting. The only problem I've got is the coat. Fff I need one, but no job = no coat.

[muffineatingjackel]

I have a coat, I love my coat. It cost me an arm and a leg. Well, maybe just an arm. But at the time I had been living with my dad, so saving up was easier. I didn't have any financial commitments.
I need to get(make) some new chains for it though. The one's that came with it keep breaking.

[Konan-ChanX3]

Ahh, I'm going to commission mine from a site that makes them damn near acurate. Anyway, back on topic.

Should this be a pot-luck where everyone brings something to eat/drink?

[muffineatingjackel]

I thought about doing that, but I decided I could be content with a less expensive, albeit less nice, coat.

I think that's a good idea. We've gotta get food there somehow right? And it's impractical to expect someone to bring everything. So... um, one vote for pot-luck?

[Konan-ChanX3]

Yeah, I think my first coat will be less acurate, then I'll upgrade to a more nicer coat.

Yup. I think that it's a wise idea, and we'll have someone bring paper plates and cups and stuff too.

[muffineatingjackel]

That's what I'm doing. Although I may never get the nicer coat. But it's on my wishlist.

I think It'll be wise to wait until closer to the picnic, say the end of July or so, before we start really figuring out who's gonna bring what. People are more likly to know what they can bring and people like me will be less likely to forget what they're bringing.

[Konan-ChanX3]

Lol with a little pixi dust, and if you believe.. wait.. wrong thing xD

true. though it's not too early to start thinking about stuff like this.

[muffineatingjackel]

Aw man, I wish that'd work. And that I had some pixie dust.

Well no, not at all. Better sooner rather then later. And I suppose under that logic we could at least start thinking about what people are bringing. Especially if there's a way to remind people later.

[Vexenification]

Hey guys, I need some help with styling my hair. :3 Well, first off, I have a crazy thick amount of hair. I tried to style it Roxas-ish, to see if it was remotely possibly to be a Roxas for the picnic, but I ran into a few problems. First, the spikes, would not stay up to save my life, second, I could not place the bobby pins and hairpins in the right area, and I was never happy so I ended up piling them up in one place, or just taking them out and trying to out them in again. //Where did those picture go? Dangnabbit..// When I find those pictures I'll edit this and put 'em in.

[muffineatingjackel]

I personally use hairspray. Aussie instant freeze extreme hold hairspray actually. I like the way it smells. It also has the added bonus of holding my mohawk up, usually all day. But my hair isn't super thick, so that's enough for me. You could try it, but you have to hold the spikes up while they dry, so your arms would get pretty tired. Or bend over at the waist, and hang upside down which is what I do.
You can also get it wet, put some stuff in it at the roots (pomade or root boost, or something like that) and blow dry from underneath, which encourages lift and makes styling a little easier.
Sorry I can't offer more, but that's about the extent of my hair knowledge.

[nekovamp13]

I've styled Fal's Roxas wig at least 5 times, and I'm making another. I think I could style Roxas in my sleep by now =~=
I could help you Vex. Though, I'm not sure how long it will take...If anything, you can style it a little and then I'll attack it at the picnic ^^

[Trash Can Ninja]

Hahahaha! i found my demi jacket but..some where a long the way it got "Hail Satan" written on it...o.O i think if i cover it with my Clash patch  or maybe a piece of cloth that says Santa on it? XD lol

[nekovamp13]

lol
Sounds like an interesting story behind that... XD

[Vexenification]

LOL I'd love to hear a back story to that, TrashCanNinja!

Thanks neko, that'd be cool xD

Oh! Found the pictures! This was my hair after like, 45 minutes, a bunch of gel, hairpins, and bobby pins xD

Which was pretty good coming from this:

[Konan-ChanX3]

Ffff I was all like, Vex, you look like a girl! then I got on your profile, oh.. lawl, Vex IS a girl xD

I seriously thought you were a guy. But it's alright, I thought Sam was a guy too D:

Anyway, Vex I would suggest letting Kristi style it for you. she did a good job with mah Roxas wig. [now if only I could find a decent pic of me wearing it...]

[muffineatingjackel]

Yep, I second that. Way better then hanging upside down and attacking yourself with hairspray. With the added bonus that we already know it should work. 

[Konan-ChanX3]

Yup~ she does really good work. I'm gunna go look for pics of me with the wig on or go take one later.

[muffineatingjackel]

Sweet, I can't wait to see it. I havn't seen decent Roxas hair in a long time.

[Konan-ChanX3]

Oh really? mebe I'll wear it when we decide to meet xD

[muffineatingjackel]

That'd rock. So hard. 

[Teddy_Bearxx]

I can give this a shot to do if I can stay the night before at Kristis if my dad cant take me for the day.

I'll do Namine.

[Sayda]

I might come to this. I went last year. I'll probably end up just wearing the wig and for go the entire outfit, as marine vinyl gets warm after a while.

[Vexenification]

Ffff I was all like, Vex, you look like a girl! then I got on your profile, oh.. lawl, Vex IS a girl xD

I seriously thought you were a guy. But it's alright, I thought Sam was a guy too D:

Lawl, means I did the binding right in my profile picture! Thanks for the compliment Konan xD

Yep, I second that. Way better then hanging upside down and attacking yourself with hairspray. With the added bonus that we already know it should work. 

Did you start hanging upside down, attacking your self with hairspray, before  or after Demyx Time 4?
(Goes off to watch marathon of Demyx Time, and eagerly waits for the 14th one that comes out in 2 days! x3)

[muffineatingjackel]

Heh, I wish I could say before. But I didn't get the idea from Demyx time. I think. And hey, it works. That's all that matters right? I'm all for gravity doing the work for me.
(Yesss. I wish time would move faster.)

[Konan-ChanX3]

@Sayda: Yeah, marine vinyl does got hot fairly quickly too. Let me know if you decide to go or not

@Vex: You took that as a compliment? cool..

@Muffin: Fffff I wouldn't do it, simply because it would give me a head rush. Not fun in the least.
