Maybe! I've been harassing Ame to book a second room, since it seems like we have a lot of people. She says she'll do that tonight.

Malaria · « **Reply #5301 on:** November 10, 2011, 02:27:19 pm »

Jaqua, what are you doing on Black Friday? By which I mean, can we have an AssCreed party at your place on Black Friday, because I feel like we all need to get together because I MISS EVERYONE ABLOOBLOO

and maybe we can plan for ECCC once we're all in a room together.

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #5302 on:** November 10, 2011, 07:01:14 pm »

I can guarentee you right now that I work on Black Friday.

And okay! Keep me posted on the room. :3

Oh man, I'm not sure whether I'll be in town that day or not, but if I'm still in Portland, can I come hang with you guys? I haven't seen you in foreverrrrrrrrrrr.

Malaria · « **Reply #5304 on:** November 10, 2011, 08:54:04 pm »

Tori: aaaalll day?

Emilee: PLEASE DO
I mean, if Jaqua plans to let us into her house.

ALSO
ARE YOU COMING WITH US TO ECCC?

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #5305 on:** November 10, 2011, 08:56:38 pm »

Outlook unclear! I WILL BE AT ECCC FOR SURE! But I have a friend who lives about five minutes from the convention center, so I might be crashing at her house rather than getting a hotel, depending on how many other people are there. I want to nerd out with you guys a lot though!!

Malaria · « **Reply #5306 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:01:24 pm »

Oh, shyeah, if you've got a person, stay with them. Does that mean you wanna ride up with us?

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #5307 on:** November 10, 2011, 10:53:34 pm »

If you have space, I'd love to hitch a ride with you!

jaqua · « **Reply #5308 on:** November 10, 2011, 11:02:05 pm »

EMILEE I MISS YOU I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN SO LONGGGGGGGG YES ALWAYS HANG OUT WITH US /heavy breathing

Hopefully we could have an AssCreed party on BF??? I dunno what my plans are or if I'll have a job and be working that day or what but at some point soon we will need to have a Revelations party because it will be necessary. Maybe I can convince my parental figures to be out of town or something so we can have more house available. Since mine is so compact. I'll keep you updated.

Malaria · « **Reply #5309 on:** November 10, 2011, 11:18:13 pm »

Revelations party yes yes yes
Ideally with the Suleiman bits because hnnn Suleiman

Just keep us updated! If not on Black Friday, then after finals? : D

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5310 on:** November 10, 2011, 11:42:11 pm »

I wish I could like the whole conversation but I keep forgetting this isn't tumblr or facebook so I can't do crap like that. So I'll drop in with a figurative nod of approval.

jaqua · « **Reply #5311 on:** November 11, 2011, 04:48:45 am »

Hahahahaha I always go to like things and then forget that it's only applicable on two websites...

I'm sure one of those times should work. And if not, well then we can have a Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever-themed AssCreed party with cookies and gingerbread houses and eggnog and all sorts of fun **** I dunno. But it'll be good.

jaqua · « **Reply #5312 on:** November 11, 2011, 04:50:18 am »

Also Rebecca I follow Wil Wheaton on tumblr and his icon is a pixel version of himself in a fez and when I saw your icon my first thought was "WIL WHEATON POSTED ON OUR PAGE?

!!!"

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5313 on:** November 11, 2011, 10:29:44 am »

New challenge for you: Make an elaborate gingerbread house modeled after uncle Mario's place.

Oh man, can you imagine? "No big deal, I just wanted to log on to my account for a Portland anime convention and send my approval to this group who want to have an AssCreed party."

Malaria · « **Reply #5314 on:** November 11, 2011, 11:06:26 am »

Gingerbread house of the entire Firenze villa.

CONVENIENTLY Hanukkah runs through Christmas this year.
I don't think I've ever had eggnog.

jaqua · « **Reply #5315 on:** November 11, 2011, 05:45:34 pm »

THAT WOULD BE THE COOLEST THING. I would never eat it. And I don't know what I would do with it. But damn that'd be cool. Not that you're really meant to eat gingerbread houses but whatever. Let's just make a gingerbread representation of Monteriggioni. The entire town. It will probably be the size of my living room. We can send it to Ubisoft when we're done.

THAT'S WHY I WAS SO CONFUSED!!!!!! WIL WHEATON WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING WE'RE NOT IMPORTANT GET OUT

OH EXCELLENT then we shall have to have a general-winter-holidays celebration since we are lucky enough to have so many people of different faiths and backgrounds and whatever. We are hella cultural. I don't know if eggnog is something you can have?? I'm forever confused by what you can and can't eat and plus I don't know what's in eggnog, I assume just magic and Christmas. Maybe egg. It's soooooo gooooooood though. At least in my opinion, some people hate it which I will never understand because it's the ultimate comfort drink. It's also really good in coffee and hot chocolate.

In unrelated news I'm playing Uncharted 3 and there's freerunning in this game and the mechanics are SO DIFFERENT so AssCreed ugh it's so hard to play I have it on "very easy" mode and I'm still messing up ugh UGH

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #5316 on:** November 13, 2011, 02:50:45 pm »

I dunno if I'm going to be working all day or even at all on that day. I get my schedule next Saturday for that week. So, I'll let you know as soon as I know. :3

And if I do go, I'm going to need a ride to get up there as well. :/ Sorry to be lame, guys. I just don't drive.

Malaria · « **Reply #5317 on:** November 14, 2011, 10:16:59 pm »

Man why does Clack gotta be so far? We'll figure something out to get you there.

Super good news! Ame's got a room, so we definitely have enough room for everyone. We'll have to shuffle around a little to fit all of us and all the Reedies, and at least a couple people are gonna be on the floor, but if we've got 6 people/room it's only $30 for hotel. And FREE PARKING. So we just have to figure out cost of gas.

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #5318 on:** November 21, 2011, 01:55:32 am »

I'll see if I can spend the night at Jaqua's or something? I'm assuming she's getting a ride with you guys. > >;

And I work 9AM - 1PM Black Friday at the Clackamas Promenade GameStop. So, I might be able to do stuff?! I REALLY WANNA FIND ME A BRAND NEW TV, THOUGH. D:

Malaria · « **Reply #5320 on:** November 23, 2011, 04:20:51 pm »

Rebecca, your work schedule is the most horrifying.

So, Black Friday is in two days. Do we still wanna do this?
It looks like afternoon would be best, since a couple people are working, and it's not like Jaqua will be awake before then anyway.

That's cool! Which store? :3

I'm down to doing something. But, I'm like Jaqua and don't drive so... I can either take the Max and meet people somewhere or people can come rescue me? Someone call me and let me know. <3

Malaria · « **Reply #5322 on:** November 23, 2011, 06:33:15 pm »

Would the Max be too terrible? I'm scared of driving on Black Friday. ._.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5323 on:** November 23, 2011, 06:56:25 pm »

I work at The Children's Place. Yeah, super lame. But it gives me money.

jaqua · « **Reply #5324 on:** November 24, 2011, 11:48:39 am »

Soooooooo I don't think Black Friday is gonna work, but my mother and Cristian may be out of town for Cristian's birthday (2 Dec) so that may worl better. Also, we just got a 3DTV.

Malaria · « **Reply #5325 on:** November 24, 2011, 02:54:28 pm »

Oh boo. : ( Dec 2 is right before finals, so I probably can't make that. SO DURING WINTER BREAK, MAYBE?

I will be downtown on Friday anyway, just derping around downtown with Jay and Hannah and Alycia.

jaqua · « **Reply #5326 on:** November 24, 2011, 05:59:23 pm »

Hahaha it wouldn't be his actual birthday, I'm sure they'll take a weekend. I just don't know which one. I'll keep you guys updated.

Malaria · « **Reply #5327 on:** November 24, 2011, 08:36:08 pm »

You should gently encourage them to take a break sometime after Thursday the 8th. 'Cause that's when my finals end.

jaqua · « **Reply #5328 on:** November 24, 2011, 08:45:37 pm »

... I'll see what I can do.

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #5329 on:** December 07, 2011, 10:34:39 am »

So, I'd like to state that I really miss everyone in this group a lot (~~except Jaqua. Ew.~~) and think we should all hang out soon (~~I guess with Jaqua, too.~~). <3

OH! I also wanted to know if anyone in here wanted to be apart of the Disney group I'm sort of managing. We're only doing main roles and no villians. I have a list of who is being who. Jaqua and I are in this group. :3 The girls who are cosplaying as girl characters are doing pin-up versions while the men are just doing non-pin up versions. < <; I phrased it like that because I'm doing a fem!Pinup!Jack Skellington. Lol.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Felix · « **Reply #5330 on:** December 09, 2011, 08:52:34 pm »

I AM BAAAACK

we should hang out!

........what are our ECCC plans? and are there still available badges?

Malaria · « **Reply #5331 on:** December 09, 2011, 10:13:42 pm »

3 day passes are still available! It's $48 total. We're staying in the 6th Avenue hotel, which is probably kind of a roach motel. We're going up Thursday and coming back Sunday night, so we can all go to school Monday morning. I dunno about getting you to Ashland? We will work something out.

Are you in Portland yet?

Felix · « **Reply #5332 on:** December 10, 2011, 07:58:04 pm »

Yes! I am here. :B
I'm leaving to see family in about a week and will be back sometime after that.
Do we still want to do a photoshoot? I didn't have any time to work on things at school but I can make something now.

Malaria · « **Reply #5333 on:** December 10, 2011, 08:32:20 pm »

Cool beans. I'll be coming up Tuesday/Wednesday-ish?

We don't have any plans for anything.
Uh. Is there anything we've all made already that we could shoot with?

Felix · « **Reply #5334 on:** December 10, 2011, 09:03:45 pm »

I can make Yukiocoat; it shouldn't take more than a few days.
Otherwise all we've got is A:tLA.

I don't know what other things we have planned, but I can make stuff pretty fast.

Malaria · « **Reply #5335 on:** December 10, 2011, 09:27:22 pm »

oh yes please <3___<3

If Jay makes me flames (unlikely), I could do camping trip Rin, which would be so sweet. soooo sweeeeet. But otherwise I'm down with just derping around as Yukio and Rin! And whoever else wants to wear their AnE stuff.

jaqua · « **Reply #5336 on:** December 11, 2011, 08:31:21 pm »

COME UP WEDNESDAY I DON'T WORK WEDNESDAY

Oh yeah did I mention I have a job now

Malaria · « **Reply #5337 on:** December 11, 2011, 08:57:40 pm »

!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS
What are you doing?

I will go down Tuesday so I can visit you Wednesday.

In most excellent news, Hannah and I made progress on hoodies today. No pictures, but since we're working together again tomorrow, probably pictures tomorrow??!!??

jaqua · « **Reply #5338 on:** December 11, 2011, 11:29:15 pm »

I work at Forever 21 in Lloyd Center so it's kind of bollocks since it's the worst major mall in the Portland area but it's not awful and I'll take what I can get at this point. Plus I get a discount on clothes that I already really want so that's nice. Even though it's just encouraging me to spend the very little money I'm making. Since I make literally 5 cents above minimum wage. Welp.

Good. I will expect you. Also I don't work till late Thursday so I can spend my time irresponsibly on Wednesday and be out late or whatever. I don't know. But yeah.

GOOD POST PICTURES POST MANY PICTURES

In unrelated news it is unexpectedly difficult to find an aubergine button-up

Malaria · « **Reply #5339 on:** December 11, 2011, 11:31:58 pm »

At least it's still on the Max line. I'M PROUD OF YOU FOR FINDING WORK. YOU GO.

Okay maybe I am not coming up Tuesday because my mom is sick and my sister is throwing a hissyfit over me taking the car and leaving her carless.

I believe in you.

jaqua · « **Reply #5340 on:** December 12, 2011, 12:00:42 am »

THANK YOU I'M EXCITED ABOUT IF JUST BECAUSE MONEY

Oh sad. Well you should come up soon anyway. I only know my work schedule a week in advance so it's hard for me plan ahead but I'll try to be free to hang out with people while break is a thing.

I will find one eventually. It will happen. Hopefully soon, because I want one RIGHT NOW. And a violin.

Kero-sempai · « **Reply #5341 on:** December 12, 2011, 09:59:45 pm »

I'm sure you'll find an aubergine button-up top somewhere. What shade are you looking for, the more purple or the more reddish kind? o:
Also, craigslist is the place to go if you want dirt cheap violins that you may or may not actually use depending. [link] <-- if the post is still there, these types of things fly of the page like nobody's business

Felix · « **Reply #5342 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:14:15 pm »

Anytime in the next week is good except saturday... I leave town on the 20th or something. And then I'll be back by new year (on the 29th I think). LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
(I want you to have flames too... I could probably make them if we can get the supplies, as opposed to them sitting around in a state of forever-not-done-ness.)

NOOO JAQUA DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY I WANT TO MAKE YOU DOLOROSA 8'C
(I can hang out with you wednesday...? YOU CAN COME OVER AND MAKE PEPPERNUTS WITH ME. and we can draw and make cool crafty things! 8D )

jaqua · « **Reply #5343 on:** December 13, 2011, 01:08:04 am »

FFFFFFFF I WANT THAT VIOLIN. DO I HAVE EIGHTY BUCKS? I MIGHT HAVE EIGHTY BUCKS.
I'm basically looking for this:

But a little darker and long-sleeved.

I HAVE A JOB IT'S OKAY. Though I may have to put cosplay on hold for a while :'C I need to be saving money right now, not spending it. Except for a violin, I may need a violin. (YES I AM OKAY WITH THAT PLAN LET'S DO THAT I LIKE IT)

Felix · « **Reply #5344 on:** December 13, 2011, 01:25:39 am »

can I just make you Dolorosa and you can pay me back later
because I am also okay with that

(what time wednesday? so I can be sure to get up by then....)

jaqua · « **Reply #5345 on:** December 13, 2011, 01:28:20 am »

well I'm hardly going to say no am I

(lolol idk probably not early, i work until 11 tomorrow which means getting home at 11:30 which means i won't be going to bed until like 5-6 probably)

Malaria · « **Reply #5346 on:** December 13, 2011, 01:48:51 am »

go to bed you dumb butt

Femlock could probably have shorter sleeves? Since short puffy sleeves are ~girly~.

jaqua · « **Reply #5347 on:** December 13, 2011, 02:18:15 am »

you can't make me you're not my real mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the more I thought about it the more I thought that could work, but... I dunno. I'll go with anything I find in a shop at this point.
(i like how i say "no i shouldn't be doing cosplay i need to save money" but then in the next breath i'm like "where can i find this and this and that for my sherlock cosplays")

(also felix did i make you watch sherlock/have you seen sherlock because if you haven't guess what we're doing some time before you go back to ashland!!!!!!!!!)
