I am being so WHINY lately =\

[unij]

ComicCon is getting readily closer, and its proximity is proportionate to both my excitement and my nerves. I decided to try and embroider the emblem on the armband for the costume, just for that extra something. It's far from professional-looking, but it's coming out well. I also wanted to do it for the larger one on the jacket, but quickly came to realize that there was no way I could get it done with the thicker fabric. Ah well!

Also, I did order a wig online, but of course it hasn't come yet. Things have kept me from checking out the local wigstores, such as lack of car access or bad timing with shifts... I feel like I should be more worried than I am about that, but I keep thinking it's nothing to worry about. I hope I'm right.

The main source of my nerves is the part where my friends and I still don't have a solid plan for what we're doing, as far as organizing what we need to get and bring, the best way to get around, or which things we want to go to. I wouldn't be so worried about the last bit, but I know that Bailey and Lauren are way more into DC comics and the like than I, and while I've survived just sorta smiling and nodding when they go on about it, I'm nervous it'll throw me off if it's all they're focusing on at the con. And I sure don't want to risk getting lost doing things on my own D=

Meantime, I'm trying to get my RP drive back. Spin's been completely dead since his breakdown, and more and more I'm getting frustrated with Tanaka's lack of CR. I keep asking if people want to thread with the cheerleader, but... nngh. Oddly enough, Madotsuki and Fawful are doing fine with their own things. I'm having a lot of fun with their stuff, but it's not the same as runnin' around being Elite or manly. At this point I'm just really hoping Kia and I can find a good place to settle down afterwards.

Yeeeeeah organization is definitely something that needs to happen. Definitely pound out transportation and what all you're bringing (and I'd say definitely bring food because restaurant meals get $$$$ so very quickly), but make your own schedule as to what panels you want to go to. If you don't want to go to DC panels, don't - do something else. If all else fails, I can drag you around for a while. XD (If you want to hang with me on Saturday, you're going to have to put up with the Glee panel, because I am on that one like white on rice. |D) I wouldn't worry about getting lost - there's bound to be a map, and con staff will gladly help you out.

So far as RP goes, I think everyone's drive is just biting it this month. D| I'll definitely throw Rosette at Tanaka once CC is over - she's getting a canon update, so returning to a city now covered in darkness is going to be quite an experience. |D Either way, I think once July rolls to a close we'll have more to do with RP.

And I am bound and determined to get an EBA mission in DC somewhere, dammit. It will happen. XD

I would like to organize a mission to end the CARP plot. SOMEHOW.

[kiaxet]

I am all for that, man. It will be the musical epic to end all epic. Yes, please. XDb

[theguindo]

idk how to pull it off though. Obviously there will be some big coming together and heartwarming proving that people need to work together to make this place work bla bla who even knows.

[kiaxet]

Maybe CARP and a few of the "offworlders" will have to work together to...overcome...something?

Man, I don't come up with the scenarios; I just dance to 'em. XD

[theguindo]

lmao yes, BUT WHAT.

[kiaxet]

I DON'T KNOW. Getting people who are trapped under a building the monster knocked over out of the rubble and to safety. Taking down a giant horde of crabs. WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT EVENTUALLY. XD

[theguindo]

Things we need: Lots of people in the same place feeling the same music; an obstacle to overcome (preferably life-threatening); CARP and Outsiders being forced to cooperate and/or help each other out.

Now to come up with a scenario 8|a

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

WOW guys way to take over my journal while I'm out 8D;;

YES we need to do these things. CARP has picked up too much momentum to be stopped quickly, what with the Kang and Hamel murders. It's going to take a big deal to get them to calm down.

[theguindo]

I feel like we need to lead up to it with some encounters on equal footing beforehand, too. Where CARP goes to attack people but gets stopped (without (grievous) injury).

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

Mhmm. Everyone's been saying they like this CARP thing because it's "realistic," and just doing a swoop of "OKAY THE EBA TOOK CARE OF IT IN ONE SHOT" might set that off (even if in EBA it would probably be a perfectly acceptable method) 8D;; so however best to warm it up would be good to think about.

[theguindo]

I think tensions would still be high even after the EBA swoops in to handle a mission, but it would be more passive hostility at that point.

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

True enough. But so long as we get them to stop beating up on children, women, and exploding dragons it'll be considered a victory.

[theguindo]

Yes /o/!!

[aviekokyre.livejournal.com]

Jumping in and giving my support for an EBA mission. With everyone there, we can't let DC finish without at least one EBA mission happening. I'll do whatever is needed. I won't make the same mistake again.

[kiaxet]

It would be such a waste if we couldn't swing a mission with the full cast here (especially since the number of other RPs that can make that boast is...zero, I believe |D).

...mistake?

[aviekokyre.livejournal.com]

Are there even agents seriously played elsewhere? I think I've seen on dear_mun one person that's trying to play everyone on one journal, and that's it.

Giving a shaky "yes" instead of a definite one.

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

We figure... a taxi will be required. D= Our hotel isn't in the tram circle, so I think it's our only real option. Not to mention we're getting in pretty early Friday, before we're allowed to check into our rooms, and the hotel charges us to check our bags. Moneys D=

PS I am so up to going to Glee Panel. That show is such dorky fun.
DOOOON'T STOP BELIIIIIEVIN'

[kiaxet]

...you could do one of those crazyass bike taxis that look like so much fun? :D Taxi may well be your best bet, though.

Moneys make everybody go D:, I think.

YAY GLEE \o/ They're showing the next episode at the panel~

too lazy to switch

[upgrade2hat.livejournal.com]

There's four of us I don't want to strain anyone's legs that bad 8D;; but yeah =| I really wish we'd been able to get a closer hotel, but we gotta work with it.

THAT'S A GOOD REASON TO SEE IT 8Db

[spiritsshadow.livejournal.com]

Hot damn you guys are lucky to be able to see the next episode o.o
