Ayacon

₂₀₁₁

I goofed up, I said in my last entry Aya was my last journal
I completely forgot about London Expo for some reason oTL
so yet again - ..one more to go
oTL

Thursday

Arrived and shiz ;]
Helped mystcb set up the games room, acquainted with the food
locations and transported all the luggage from the cars.

Friday

Started the day with the amazing breakfast buffet
Returned to room to change into Kimimaro - styled Carlos Mikuni wig
and covered my room in hair on the first day :'D
<gawddangit>



We met up and did a lolworthy shoot with Benjamin which unfortunately
I've not been able to receive the shots from as he's experienced some
rather bad computer issues ;^; Hopefully soon though!





Someone give the man a meal D:



We then wandered to the Bar for some lunch and chill time
Had a small shoot in the corridor by the games room with Street-Angel
Also did a few 'air' shots with Ashley using a conveniently placed chair and
low angle photographers =]



Mysu has a strange obsession with the stuff so we bought a bowl for the shoot



There be Ninjas around. Bl



Then we met up with yuka-rin for another shoot outside using the chess board
she had made for the Cosplay Chess event later into the event.



We had a few issues keeping it down with the wind that day - luckily some
people came over and volunteered to be weights and positioned themselves into the corners





Dat position - so so very girly.



Such an emo fag Kimimaro ¬3¬



...Wahey!

We then returned intending to head for the bar when I bumped into LadyLunaNinja
in her gorgeous Horo costume so I took her up to the cosplay room and used one of
the premade sets to photograph it <3



Honestly this wasn't much of a derp as much as it was a badly timed blink
She looked so wonderful finding derps is hard enough!
She'll hate me for it regardless ;]

Dat straw matt is hell to lie on might I add ;^;
A bit later into the evening we returned to the cosplay studio again with yuka-rin
and she shot Isamiaella, DementedKid and myself within the same space







LiekanemoBaws



We did a shot recreating the aspect of the series in which mysu lives within the card
we lined my card up with Ashley while hiding the rest of her body using the table and
clever angles courtesy of yuka-rin - it took AGES to line up - totally worth it
but my god again with that matt - I had lines embedding in my hands for ages



I'm such a good teacher o3o

Saturday

Again - amazing breakfast before heading back and changing into Hope
Walked to the bar - sort of became our main meeting point XD; - with PlummerC1
dressed as Snow.
Attempted to hold hands
- felt overly gay in our costumes -
walked a good few paces between each other for the rest of the day
:l

I started the day off doing a mini shoot for Isamiaella and Heather in the bar
I still owe them so many photos - I still owe many people photos from that week
i'msorryi'llgetthemdoneasap ;^;



I then found Demented-Kid and Osanpo
We nipped outside to do more shoots <3



Isn't it though?



Zombi-zone, MikeJenks and PlummerC1 followed us
and displayed themselves on the other side of the road for the first part of the shoot

Each attempting to outderp the other.



We found Goldie Neko in her amazing Black Waltz cosplay <3<3<3
She agreed to come join us for a few photos *w*





Definitely female - yup
and along with the usual faggotry :]



Badly wonderfully placed sword sheathe there.



wat.

We then moved into a small garden quad area a bit further into the university
where I shot some more shots of Osanpo's gorgeous costume. Afterwards
herself and Demented-Kid and their sister rushed off for the masquerade
So I took some shots of the derpies.





Bring on the laydees



Fully Clothed :l



-and yet you are still fully clothed :l

Mike and Carlo thoroughly enjoyed throwing leaves onto Ciaran who
was rather sceptical about the idea at first.



We then returned to the Games room and found an 'interesting' hair tie for Myst's hair
..Which strangely also doubled as a wrestling mask...



Ohmakessense.

/They were Ashleys panty props for her Panty costume before someone freaks out.



I took Ashley, XMoonLilyX and Demented-Kid into the back hallway and did another shoot

:thumb259661126: :thumb260294794:







I also took a few shots of Laura



Colin was granted some 'Freedom' from the responsibilities of the Game Room
He victory danced.
Vertically
on the floor.



We spent the evening chilling out and eating cake
Incidently I found the knee marks left from Ashley when she painted herself
for Mysu when I returned to the corridor



Hester makes the best cakes.
Seriously

Sunday

Zombi-zone decided to inform us his pants were ripped so we rushed to the Cosplay room
to fix them before the Cosplay Chess started. Hester painted him up while I sewed
them back together. This did mean he had to remove them



Your husbando can barely take his eyes off you Carlo
:]



You have to admire him
_{sort of}

We then practically legged it to the Auditorium for the rehearsals.



I ended up getting REALLY nervous and stage freighty
I couldn't fathom why I had agreed to be the white chess master
and to make things worse I messed up my first move - wahey ;D

But it ran fairly smoothly afterwards and it was honestly very funny to watch
even as someone who knew what was going to happen =]
My voice was definitely shaking throughout it though!



I returned to my room after a short stay in the games room and changed
into some casual clothes - white wedding cake Ozu is not comfortable and is
prone to attracting dirt x_x



We got some seats for the closing Ceremony and the following on Talent Show





I did love that lightsaber duel :'D



Afterwards I waited for the stream of people to disperse and took some shots
of Ashley in front of the sexy carved wall - shots that I STILL haven't even touched yet!
fffff x^x



We then again returned to the games room for a random evening of much man gay
and all that jazz





Gotta watch out for dem random Mikes



Scrubs <3



C-C-C-Combo breaker!





They gave him a cup
He asked for a jug.







There was much DDRing - I'm disappointed [?] to learn over the course of the con
that my boyfriend might actually be better at DDR than me ;^;
_{Not that I'm all that good anyway - but still D:}



My boyfriend is also apparently much prettier than me to
WATISTHIS?!

Also - lolKoreanArmy







That's the spirit!



_{So many potential captions...}

Monday

No breakfast ;^;
I actually sad faced so much!
We heard it was open despite popular belief it wouldn't be
we ran - they closed it just as we got there fml XD;



I was also rushed out of my room by a cleaner which sucked majorly to



We stashed our things in the cars and went to help Myst take apart the games room
once more. I found a really convenient way of transporting the DDR bases to the van



We drove back split between three cars - Ciaran's sat nav
took us a most retarded route home and much lols were had pulling alongside
Carlos car and beeping scaring the hell out of him. ;]

Such a nervous person ;D

Awesome con was Awesome
Can't wait to do it again ;]

Also I've had the tune from Skyward Sword stuck in my head
this ENTIRE journal - the bit that plays when you're flying your
bird around the sky - orchestrial - kinda like starwars
yeah I can't get it out of my head D:

goodgamthough
