Quick Anime Iowa blah blah blah

Okay, getting this out of the way now. Chris, Pat? What do you want me to cover in terms of expenses? Pat, I'll probably be covering two people for the room, and Chris, two people for the ride (if Tomas will fit). I can also bring food like last time, since I felt that worked out rather well.

Next up, I will be going crazy over the next week making an Urahara costume for Tomas. (Pat, you think he could borrow your geta? *puppy eyes*) I should be able to manage. Unless he keeps bugging me about it.

As a consolation to Lyzz, I'll be aiming to make a Demyx costume for him for a different occasion. With any luck, I'll have (or have had) a job by March, and the two of us will hopefully be able to join people on a trip to A-Cen or something. ...Part of this is indeed only to parade my brother around as part of a 'themed costume' thing. Damned if I can think of any KH(2) chara to play myself, though. ...First person to suggest King Mickey or similar gets a boot to the head. Though Belle I could probably stand.

My condition for making Tomas's costume is that, should we happen to run into an Ari [Okage] cosplayer somehow (HA!), I will make Tomas stop and hopefully be able to bum a picture of the two of them together. Hopefully with Ari wearing Urahara's hat. Or somesuch. ...Any other special Urahara moments I should be on the lookout to make happen?

My shirts are made for Audience cosplay (though they currently need to be washed), I have sugar cubes to make tickey-boxes, and I'm keeping my eyes open for cheap-o rings. (If worse comes to worst, I'll make my own.) I'll probably also make a stack of cards to explain CFUD--or at least give a general idea of it. Included (probably at the bottom) will be the address. ...Well, I hope so, at any rate. Pat, would that be kosher, do you know? The address does include the, er, 'full' name of the camp. If it's not, I can probably stand to write it out every time on the back or something (and while it's unlikely that writing the address down for people would be unkosher, I still feel the need to check--Pat?).

And I think that's everything. Adreneline is running high. Hope to put it to good use.

Edit: I need to get myself some ginger. Or some gingerale. Or something. Gingersnaps, maybe? Gingerbread?

Oh yeah, CFUD people, any preference to ticky color? Because all I've got is the standard food coloring options RYGB. Thinking red.

Fic: Five Aspects of the Paopu Fruit: 1/5

Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Description: A look at the culture surrounding the Paopu Fruit in five parts.
Notes: Had this part written a little while ago. Finally decided I didn't care about waiting until the whole thing was done to post it anymore. It's mostly (read: completely) BS, so there's no spoilers as long as you know what a Paopu fruit is and what it's supposed to do.
