Axis Powers Hetalia! 09

[Kero-sempai]

Whoa, Austria has super-strength! =O He's even more awesome than before, and he was omega-epic before!!

SK, you have to be Germany! Otherwise we'll be Germany-less and tragic!

AND MALARA WILL HAVE TO PLAY THE PIANO TO SHOW EXACTALLY HOW IT MAKES HER FEEL. xD

BRAHMS! BRAHMS IN THE OCEAN!

... Do I have any Brahms? -goes to dig through piles of scores-

Gosh, I love this thread. So very much. X3

[MiriaRose]

I'M SORRY I FORGOT ABOUT YOU, TOO. TT_TT

BUT I DON'T HAVE A PIANO TO PLAY CHOPIN ON TO EXPRESS MY SORROW. >.>

[Auricle]

Wait, there was a kidnapping plot? Will there be pasta? ='D

But Shijimi, I think your Italy cosplay is bettar! : O Honestly~ You're so cute. X3

[Malaria]

I don't have any Brahms. Oops. >>
However, I have lots and lots of Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Kabalevsky. Some Handel and Chopin, and a small handful of traditional English/French/Canuck pieces. Thank god for the Noona collections.
And I had a super-extended version of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, but that's... missing.
I think I might've misplaced a couple of my books. DD: I could've sworn I had one of those horribly didactic, pretentious, 50-year-old books... 3x That had Carmen and a really pretty Nocturne in it!

'Nyway, that whole spiel leads into me practicing classical pieces all summer so I can play them all dramatic-like at Kcon. Despite the fact that it's been several years since I had any kind of formal instruction. -whistles innocently-

[MiriaRose]

I love classical music. xD And I'm sure you can still play great! ^^

But where will we find a piano that we can drag into the ocean? xD

[Malaria]

Ahahahahahaha. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hilton's classy, I'm sure they have one tucked away somewhere. And with all the con goings-on, they won't notice a measly piano being taken away.

Where the hell did my score books go? DDDDD:

[iluvshijimi]

But Shijimi, I think your Italy cosplay is bettar! : O Honestly~ You're so cute. X3

Nooo, you saw it in person today, yours is much better!

Also, thought I'd share the pictures from the zoo meet today in here, because me and Auricle went and provided lots of N.Italy fun~

No problem. ^^

I know, they must have at least several grand pianos lying about. A little water in one shouldn't be too terrible! xD

You're both adorable~~.

Miria: 'Zactly! We don't even have to go the ocean. The waterfront's only a few blocks away.

[MiriaRose]

A lot of people went to the zoo yesterday, didn't they? You guys look great, btw. ^^

Malaria, that's even better! 

[Kayani_Neko]

Oh my gosh, you just made me really want to cosplay to the zoo now. xD

[Auricle]

Thanks you guys~ X3 The zoo meet was a lot of fun! I wish more of you could have come~

Malaria, how did you get so epic? ='D It sounds like you have quite the collection of sheet music! X3

Lol, sorry for the short and confusing phone 'conversation' today, Miria & Kyo~

[Kero-sempai]

Dawwww!! <3<3<3<3 Two super-cute Italy cosplayers! Being cute! *melts* Thank you for the link, Shinjimi~! <3

You need to call me, Britany. =P And yeah, I'm totally using <i>your</i> real name, as well. XD

[Auricle]

Haha, I see what you did there. XD

I am so sorry that I didn't call you tonight. D': A friend of mine wanted to hang out and show me her new car. I just got back home half an hour ago. Sorry~ ;_;

[Kero-sempai]

Oh, that's okay! Just call me whenever you're not busy, I'll drop almost whatever I'm doing to talk to you. =3
And ooo, a new car! =D

Wait, there was a kidnapping plot? Will there be pasta? ='D

I'm tempted to say either "you heard nothing (in Caps Lock)" or "Yeeees...there will be pasta...and duct tape =3="

[iluvshijimi]

Dawwww!! <3<3<3<3 Two super-cute Italy cosplayers! Being cute! *melts* Thank you for the link, Shinjimi~! <3

I'm glad you liked them! My favorite picture is the Dragonball Z fusion pose, haha.

[MiriaRose]

Malaria, how did you get so epic? ='D It sounds like you have quite the collection of sheet music! X3

Pffft, it wasn't confusing. xD Don't to worry about it. ^^

My sister and I studied piano for several years, and we each got different books from our teacher based on our strengths/ages. Between us, that's a lot of books. XD

[demytasse]

*looks around* It's been dead in here. *phoenix down!*

So! How's everyone doing on cosplay and the works? 8D Anyone entering the karaoke contest? 8DD (YAY FOR SMALL TALK!)

[Auricle]

That's very...France-like of you. ='D I don't know whether to be proud or very, very afraid.

@Sam: I really liked the fusion pose as well, but I think the jumping shots were the most fun. XD

@Malaria: That's really epic! X3 And will we get to hear you play some at the con?

Er...*Life bottle!* ='D  There's a karaoke contest? Too bad I can't sing. XD Are you entering it, Demy?

My cosplay is the same as it's been for a while~ ' 3 ' Has anyone else made any progress?

[iluvshijimi]

*looks around* It's been dead in here. *phoenix down!*

rofl, I almost thought about doing the exact same thing, but I don't really have a noticeable presence in here ^^;;

I don't know if I'll be able to be Japan at the convention. If I have time to make or buy his costume, I will bring him, but I think I will probably be yet another N.Italy... >.<

@ Britany

Oh yes, the jumping shot that took oh-so many tries xD I can't believe my thighs hurt after jumping only 10 times or so! I didn't think I was THAT out of shape... >_>;;

[Mewithe]

I'm doing karaoke! I think I'm going to stick with Seishun Iijanaika. Haha, England singing that song's kind of funny to think about, since it's so random and happy~. xD

[iluvshijimi]

Um, weren't you guys planning some karaoke thing or something a long time ago? I think the thread was moving by really fast then, so I couldn't keep up, but what was that exactly?

I think all the APH people should show up in the karaoke room during free mic at the same time and sing Marukaite together!

[Auricle]

I think you have a noticable presence, Shi-chan~ ='D You're not Canada, after all. Lawl, couch potatoe cosplayers~ XD Well, I am anyways. You said you'd only stopped for 3 weeks? That's not that bad, I hardly exercise ever. D:

Yeah, we were going to do some karaoke at the PJ party/panel, but it was decided that it would be too much trouble to set up, run and then take down. But I totally want to do some karaoke as Italy even though it will make people's ears bleed~ : D

[demytasse]

Yeah we were thinking of doing karaoke at the PJ party, but that fell through. AND YES! We're all still planning on singing Marukaite together on open mic.

I'm talking about the actual competition. xDD I wanna know if I'll have any competition among nations.
I'm thinking about singing The World is Mine, you know that Hatsune Miku song. ($20 for anyone who can guess where my inspiration to sing that song came from. xDDDDD)

Mewithe: I know you're doing karaoke. xDD You should try learning another song! :OOO Do it! *pokeprod*

[iluvshijimi]

Ah, okay that's what I thought~

@ Demy

I definitely won't be in the karaoke contest haha, I can't sing for beans @_@ Auri-chan knows, I butchered Marukaite at the rose gardens on Saturday xD

[demytasse]

But I totally want to do some karaoke as Italy even though it will make people's ears bleed~ : D

Awww, I'm sure you wont make people's ears bleed. DDD8 I'm sure Italy doesn't fail at everything.

I definitely won't be in the karaoke contest haha, I can't sing for beans @_@ Auri-chan knows, I butchered Marukaite at the rose gardens on Saturday xD

Buuuu, I want someone to compete with. =3=
Y'all better come cheer me and Mewithe on at the competition. 8DDD

[Mewithe]

Mewithe: I know you're doing karaoke. xDD You should try learning another song! :OOO Do it! *pokeprod*

If someone finds me a Karaoke version of England's Marukaite version, I will totally sing that for the contest. And then I'd totally want to borrow your Guitar Hero guitar for it, for that would be awesome.

If not I'll probably end up learning one of Haruhi's songs. xD

[goatchild]

@Mewithe: You could try to make a karaoke version if there isn't one out there yet. There's some freeware out there that can dampen vocals and still sound okay most of the time.

Originally I planned to do a Tommy Heavenly6 song while dressed up as Saki-chan, but I don't know if I'm going to be Saki-chan on the day of the karaoke contest (if I'm Saki-chan at all). Wouldn't it be hilarious for Prussia to sing Tommy Heavenly6? XD

[Konan-ChanX3]

Sorry for popping in like this. I'm cosplaying Japan this year :3

[iluvshijimi]

Yay! Now the group won't be Japan-less if I can't make it, haha~

:O Where could I find this freeware~?

[demytasse]

:O Where could I find this freeware~?

Yeah, I can probably dampen the vocals for you Kat. You could try one of England's character songs as well, when they come out that is. xDD

Yagi: Prussia singing Tommy Heavenly6 would be hilarious. xDDD

[goatchild]

@Mewithe: Google Best Practice audio (or Audacity, but that's more complicated to use). It should find you this really simple program that lets you change the pitch, speed, and/or dampen vocals on music. Not ever song sounds good with dampened vocals though. >>

In reality, I probably won't enter the contest as Prussia if I do enter, cuz I'll probably wear Prussia to the photoshoot, which means I'll be wearing Sitaly on Saturday. I'll definitely sing some Tommy heavenly6 as Prussia for open mic if I get a chance, though. XD

This is true!

[MiriaRose]

. . "no one can control me"

^ All I remember from one of the two Tommy Heavenly6 songs I have, 2 be free. xD

Prussia singing Tommy Heavenly6 would be amazing, though. x3

[goatchild]

Oh man, 2Bfree would be perfect for Prussia! XD Totally going to sing that.

[Malaria]

@Malaria: That's really epic! X3 And will we get to hear you play some at the con?

Don't get too excited. I'm awful. 8D
I'll definitely play if I can find a piano.
I'm debating getting one of those kiddy keyboards with one or two octaves and horrible tones.

[MiriaRose]

Oh man, 2Bfree would be perfect for Prussia! XD Totally going to sing that.

DO IT. x3

[Konan-ChanX3]

Why Japan-less? I'm guessing no one loves Japan?

[iluvshijimi]

Yes. It's kind of sad. Japan is one of my favorites T.T

[Konan-ChanX3]

Poor Japan ;~; Japan needs luffs :3

[goatchild]

Poor Japan ;~; Japan needs luffs :3

Germany, too. Which is sad, cuz they're both main characters. XD

[Konan-ChanX3]

:3 Very true.

[Cassiopeia]

Germany is awesome (♥) but he has a very distinct look..

[Mewithe]

I thought we had a Germany? O_o Or did I miss something?

Canada is in episode 19~~~ 8DDD <3

[MiriaRose]

We have two Germanies AND a Japan. >.>

AND YES CANADA IN EPISODE 19. <3

[Konan-ChanX3]

I'm watching APH lulz "I'm a tomato box fairy!"

[KyoKyo866]

I thought we had a Germany? O_o Or did I miss something?

Canada is in episode 19~~~ 8DDD <3

Or we hope at least, perhaps it was just something for the cellphone plan xD but we wont know till mundaaay~ hopefully canada would be offically in :3 that means hope for minor characters to be in the series more too... like prussia
