Cosplay Sketch (rough), and other amusing things

[soc_puppet]

So, thought of a sketch to do for cosplay at Anime Iowa this year :D The timing's about right, too; this gives us, what, four months to get it perfect? And make costumes and, er, marathon the whole damn anime at a friend's house and stuff? That should be about enough time.

Here, take a look at what I've got so far ^_^ Second-draft-ish, still in the working-things-out stages. If you can think of something funnier for the characters to say, or something that would make what they say funnier, or hell, even some reason why Envy would be left to his own devices but wouldn't be allowed to go very far, by all means, I'd love to hear it/them/whatever. Anyway, sketch. Warnings for gratuitious character mocking that I mostly don't mean.
Anime Iowa '05 Cosplay Sketch (tentative)

[ENVY walks out on stage, carrying a folding screen. (From behind, the other characters support it) ENVY sets the screen down and addresses the audience.]

ENVY: {Clever explanation for why he's been left to his own devices} And now, time for some fun! [walks behind screen]

SCAR: [walks out from behind screen] Hi! I'm a deluded serial killer obsessed with my dead older brother! Using an art forbidden to me by my religion, I go around killing heretics. Even though I'm after the same thing as that cool Envy guy, I'll never be able to pull it off. I'm such a loser! [walks back behind screen]

ROY: [walks out from behind screen] I'm a notorious womanizer trying to rise in the military. Despite the fact that I'm wildly popular, I never get what I really want. Maybe if I was as talented as Envy, I could! [walks back behind screen]

ARMSTRONG: [walks out from behind screen in a shower of pink glitter/confetti; poses] Enough said. [walks back behind screen]

HUGHES: [walks out from behind screen] I'm an intellegence officer smitten with my family. Even though I had a chance to prevent my own death, I didn't take it. I guess I'm not too intellegent, then--unlike that Envy guy, who got the upper-hand with me! [walks back behind screen]

BRADLEY: [walks out from behind screen] Even as the man behind the military, I'm not really a man. I get to order everyone around and run the country into the ground, but I'm actually taking orders myself. I can't do anything on my own! I wish I could be more independant, like Envy. [walks back behind screen]

GREED: [walks out from behind screen] I'm Greed, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. I dress badly and think too much of myself. Going against the rest of the Sins was a really bad idea. Maybe I'd still be alive if I'd done what Envy told me to! [walks back behind screen]

ED: [walks out from behind screen] I'm short! Really short! I'm so short, I could be trampled by an ant! I'm so tiny, I'm hard to find with a microscope! I'm so small and insignificant--

IZUMI: [walks on stage] Oh, there you are Edward!

ED: Huh?

IZUMI: I was just looking for you. Time for training!

ED: Wait! I'm not that shrimp, really! Get away from me! Aaaugh! [runs behind screen]

ENVY: [runs out other end of screen] Aaaugh! [exit]

IZUMI: Heh heh heh--hack! Cough! Choke! [blood] [exit]

--Fin--

Soooo, whatcha think? ^____^ nekokenchan is going to be Envy, and I'm going to be Izumi-sensei :D We're sorta the only going-for-certain people ^^; but the only other character that we desperately need is Ed, and Audrey can't make it and we can't find a spare running around at the con, I will cry be very surprised. *knocks on wood*

Oh yeah, the other amusing things.

Socchan: *comes inside the house*
Dad: Hi! What were you up to out there?
Socchan: Looking for four-leaf-clovers.
Dad: Any luck?
Socchan: =_=

Also, as we (the Shinkendo class) were cleaning the dojo floor before we left, got into a somewhat-meta discussion of the status of the floor.

David: You know, if we really want to clean the floor, we'd have to atomize it.
socchan: Don't start to get technical about these things, or I'll whip out Zen on you. Remember, there is no floor!
David: Or, the RPG-version floor! Floor is a level 30 wood-type; in order to defeat it, we must clean it!
socchan: XD
---once the floor is clean---
David: We've defeated the floor! 87 EXP!

And... that's it, really. Other than the fact that I learned exactly why people usually wear long pants while riding motorcycles on Friday -_- (Not your fault, Pat, really. I just need to be more careful getting off next time.) Yanno, I never had this problem with horses.

Way cool skit, I hope you find an Ed. I like your friend David's sense of humor. Took me a while to figure out the four leaf clover joke. I'm a little slow sometimes

Oh, random pervy thought that I blame on you and your DC crack pairing

Shinichi = 'Tantei of Death'
Hakuba = 'White Horse'

Death rides a white horse.

We'll probably be able to get Audrey to go, though recent events have put a bit of a damper on gratuitous Roy/Ed fanservice hopes (still hoping things will be better in four months *knocks on wood*). Even if she can't, I saw three Eds last year (one of which was in a different cosplay act), and that was before the show aired on Adult Swim, so I can hope for more to torment this year.

You have no idea how much I want to write domestic!fic for those two--or how much the thought scares me *_*

Also...
Hakuba: I refuse to fill in for Binky!
