Enjoying The Show WHO ARE YOU, MYSTERIOUS PERSON
I WANT TO BE YOUR CONRAD
The Hanna has been found!!
Thankyou ~mysteroo, you are absolutely awesome
*ahem* Pining aside, here's a quick roundup! That won't end up being very quick at all **Mid-type edit: Warning, text wall incoming
**Kept waking up in the night- I swear I might have actually woken Emmy up and asked what the time was rather than just dreaming it
Good start already.Woke up with a migraine. Great start already.
Got to the station, met Sam, got on the train
Train then left without Tim or Emmy.
It's twice as hard to recover from a migraine when the person you're stuck on the train with is constantly jabbering on about how excited he is and how much he's gonna buy when he gets there and how jealous his friend's gonna be and oh do you still feel sick?
Got to Euston and met a group of people headed for MCM, had breakfast with them
Again, no names or pictures! Those two girls were so lovely as well OTL
Emmy and Tim arrive in on the next train, so we toddle off to the underground
Front seats on the DLR! We felt like we were driving the train until the conductor came along and, you know, drove the train.
Hohly mother of colourful explosions the amount of costumes leading up to the main centre.
A wid Elie appeared!
I had to go be the killjoy mother and demand everyone go get their tickets before doing anything fun
Eeeerm then I think we split up for a bit? Just to check out the stalls by ourselves
(This is where the series of events gets a little jumbled up)
I dragged Elie over to the Eddsworld tables and seeing how busy Tom and Bing were, handed over the cookies to Matt's friend Mandy instead, and she was really ridiculously lovely too!
Sneakysneak through the Tomska fans to reach the Draw The World Together table to meet StressedJenny, but I didn't see her
The Tokyopop stall was having a sale on books, srsly, I got three BRICKS of Gravitation for £3.
Me and Elie looked at the kimonos for a bit but the lady was a bit pushy and scary and even though they were GORGEOUS we didn't have the money :<
OH and at some point along the way we met another Jake so Roxy was pimpin' ;D
Lots of dawding and sneakysneaking through crowds. Lots.
Finally found the first Durarara!! book!
Fudged up getting the Fresh Epics book
Bought my first anime plushie; Sebastian for my darling wife Anna
And Brony badges
Then did we have lunch? I think we had lunch. Crisps and a drink, not really lunch.
Then HOMESTUCK!
We dawdled through the Bronymeet to get there, and even though I'm a proud Pegasister I felt kinda out of place in my Homestuckery and didn't want to hang around
However, once we hit the Homestuckers it's like BOOM INSTANT FAMILY.
That's where we found the Hanna! We got kinda lost between the Bronies and the Homestuckers, I spotted the Hanna, and he told us where the meet was, double the awesomness!
Equius was organising everyone, telling which characters to go up for photoshoots next, and Officer Nepeta was arresting people for shipping the wrong OTP's
I was one of FIVE Jake's out of pretty much the entire con
I was also the only Jake that didn't have dual pistols OTL They wouldn't fit in my bag!
One of the other Jake's had spares though so THANKYOU to that Jake!
Then we all had a bit of a dance and a sing-song, and we attracted the attention of the security guards on the upper level
Then we had a picniccy dealio, I had more cookie to give out so handed them to Equius to do the honours
Then we tried to round everyone up again because Sam had run off and Tim had dawdled and Liam had Christ knows what
Tim was being all tired and stuff while me and Elie still had shopping to do so we scootled off
Seriously considered getting s Shizuou body pillow until I decided i would never get it on the underground with me.
FINALLY. I mean FINALLY. Found something related to Yu Yu Hakusho for the first time in two years. Ya wanna know what it was? Yaoi Doujins X) Not that there's anything wrong with that but I want me some Dark Tournament or Three Kings up in dis, yo.
Then we had to drag Sam away from the lovely Kanaya he'd met
Turns out this was the first con he'd been to, that's why he was so excited and energetic.
Earlier in the day we'd planned on leaving MCM mid-afternoonish so we could go to Camden and Baker Street
Haha
And then Tim lost his ticket.
We spoke to pretty much every attendant and barrier guard between London and Northampton explaining the situation and showing the remaining tickets and the receipt.
Everyone was so tired on the train home we sat on the floor by the door because it was the only place available to sit.
I think that's about it.
Uber thanks and loves and hugs etc to Emmy and Elie for convincing me this would be a good idea and to the Equius and to Hanna! And to the Jakes that kept lending me guns and to the homestuckers in general because it was a beautiful afternoon we shared :'D And to the lovely artists in the alley that chatted to us and to Mandy and to the ticket attendants and the people on the train
I'll shut up now
Flipside Froglets!
