Cosplay Gone Wrong

The Doctor seemed to want to get going and she had to admit he was right. They couldn't just stand here midst the milling throng of convention goers. Admittedly, it wasn't as crowded as it was earlier now that it was close to closing but it was busy enough. Others were moving around them and there was a person working one of the booths casually eavesdropping.

Then Richard, or rather, the one whose name she'd forgotten and suspected as being dressed as Bison from Street Fighter told her a quick story about a dwarf cleric and his ill fate. That tale sounded rather humorous, as if their particular story line was either impromptu or meant to be tongue in cheek. A god transforming someone into a small rabbit felt more like a personal insult or jest towards the player of that character than an actual plot piece.

"Yeah," she admitted, tilting her head and peering down at her bare feet, her face momentarily obscured by her blond wig, "but dead is dead and it rather sucks being dead."

Stars Wars / Marvel Cinematic Universe Crossover

How about a slightly different plot that's a bit less random? How about the Galactic Empire... or perhaps the Sith Empire found a wormhole leading into Earth space. They immediately set out to conquer it while rebels and Jedi types land and offer aid to those upon the Earth.

Now that I'm spinning. How about the Empire, Sith or Galactic, discover an ancient alien artifact. The item is just like a giant stargate, mass relay or some other transportation device left over from when the Earth was colonized by ancients.from the Star Wars galaxy many centuries before.

This leaves opportunity for the Marvel characters to possibly disable the artifact or perhaps smuggle themselves through this portal and take on the Empire's leaders directly or perform some other clandestine feat of daring do.

To Topple an Empire

*grins* That's one way for an Empire to fall :)

LaXnyd, I'd have to agree that Dunkelzahn is probably a bit much. He's a virtual god in the lore as far as I remember, a transcendent being that exists on at least two planes of being. Maybe you could consider a perhaps a Dwarven Rigger, the cosplayer taping his lower legs to the back of his thighs and walking around on his knees? Perhaps an Elven Street Samurai?

Must... Resist... further posting... I don't want to dominate the roleplay :)

Cosplay Gone Wrong

"Errrr..."

Sarah was starting to hate that question. Everyone else people knew instantly or at least could guess. This would have gone so much better if the guys hadn't bailed and had come along with their matching costumes. Everyone knew the Doctor, Bayonetta and the others at a glance. Even though she didn't know Protoman herself she recognized him from the Mega-man series. There was a certain leap of excitement people received when they recognized what character the person was dressed up as. Nothing needed be said. It was like a bolt of lightning. Hers had a whole story behind it and she was stuck telling it each time.

"I'm Assallya Kressair," she answered, "my D&- Dungeons and Dragons character from our tabletop game. I'm also dead. I mean she's dead..."

She then pointed at the plastic dagger once more, her costume bracelets clinking together making a sound that was definitely cheap plastic and not metal.

"She died last session, dagger throw to the head, so my friends who were supposed to be here thought I should change my costume to reflect that. Hence the body paint and contact lenses. I mean.. it's not the perfect costume since my character was kinda naked at the time I died and you can't really go to a convention naked even if you were crazy enough to be that brave though I hear up in Canada they go in nothing but body painted cloth- but you don't want to hear about all that."

Sarah tittered, a silly little sound and put her hand to her face, black fingernails touching the black stained lips as she shut herself up. That was probably the worst retelling of that story yet by far. Her cheeks once again flushed. Gods, she was a twenty year old and these kids who were years younger than her had more composure than her. Buck up Sarah, she thought to herself, and get with the program! It's a little late to change your costume at this point.

"Sorry... I'm rambling. I sometimes ramble when I get nervous. Soooo... Zelda...in Samus armour... I wonder if that would work as a cosplay?"

Tag team battle? Sarah paused for a few moments, sporting thoughts of them fighting against one another in the parking lot of the hotel and going home with black eyes and broken limbs. She then realized that they were talking about their handheld consoles. At that point she was just simply glad that she hadn't said what she was thinking aloud. That would have looked completely, totally, stupid.

"Oh I have nothing against fun," the girl dressed as the corpse replied, "though with all of time and space at your disposal a mere visit to a diner must be such a chore. I won't mind seeing Mega-Man over here do his thing."

-and speaking of Mega-man, there was now someone dressed as Zelda! She missed playing Zelda. She never had a Wii or anything like that but she found an old "Super Nintendo" machine and a bunch of cartridges. That long pink dress must have taken forever to sew up. It made her own work feel paltry by comparison. Sarah found herself really wishing that she'd worked on a different, recognizable costume from a major franchise like the fourth doctor and his scarf or Zoey from Left 4 Dead or something.

"I love your Zelda," Sarah added, meaning it with total honesty and a bit of jealousy.

Sarah was happy for those that collected comic books but she didn't bother with them anymore. She had a Marvel Unlimited subscription that offered her nearly unlimited access to every Marvel comic book ever drawn. Unfortunately, they didn't put their newest issues in the system until they were several months old but that was fine by her. This let her spend money from her rather limited budget from her job as a cashier for other things.

Biting gently at her black stained lower lip she looked the "Doctor" in the eyes with those clouded grey eyes that looked almost sightless and grinned at him. Letting him think on what he had just said.

"...be in character while we eat," Sarah quoted David, rolling the words out slowly and tapped at the plastic dagger protruding from her forehead before continuing in a more normal tone, "Something tells me that wouldn't be too fun."

I do so love the irony of a slave dancer themed cosplayer referring to a Bayonetta themed cosplayer as a "skank" in her thoughts.
