The Potato Smashers are totally gonna get everything done for ECCC.

[Malaria]

It's less peer pressure and more having someone there to remind you this can be done, even if the contact keeps folding up when you blink and it's ALMOST ON YOUR EYE DAMNIT.

But yes, I am quite scary. It's very fun. : D

[Felix]

I can't wait until you get the blind ones. c: Will you have them for Sak?
(speaking of which, we decided I should do this version if I do end up going. So you might still get to put a bald cap on me, Valeria.)

I need to go sew more trim. I got sidetracked disassembling my nerf gun and cooking dinner and now it's too late to use the machine. Oops.

[Malaria]

I'll definitely try, but I'd rather put my money towards Connie and Rin.
ALL MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE.
well, not really. BUT SOME OF THEM.

ahaha I haven't sewn while I've been home. I've pretty much passed out from achiness.

[goatchild]

@Malaria: I already said this to you but HO MAI GOD YOU'RE TERRIFYING. IT'S WONDERFUL. *GLEEEEE*

@Felix: OMG please do Day of Black Sun Aang cuz if you do I have a perfectly valid excuse to do wolf armor Sokka eeee~! cuz you will be a fantastic bald Aang! >w<

I... have still not entirely finished anything, but I've gotten very far on a lot of it. Just none of it is finished. >>
THE COUNTDOWN IS TAUNTING ME. WHY GOD WHY.

[Felix]

Is this one too obscure? (just in case I fail and don't finish the sleeve thingies on time or the weather decides to be murderously hot.) Actually it's slightly less timefucked since Sokka and Katara are back in water tribe...

YES YOU SHOULD DO WOLF SOKKA. YESSS. 8D
(are you still okay with driving me to Sak, Yagi? My ability to go is very dependent on having a ride.)

[Malaria]

I like it. : D I dunno about everyone else, but I wouldn't mind this version.

[goatchild]

Air temple version is fine with me! In theory it is less timefucked. XD Btw, if you want the arrows, I do have blue body paint and sealer etc. Just fyi. ; D

I will do everything in my power to be able to drive you to Sak! You'll be in Ashland at the time, right? I don't know if there's a greyhound route there or anything, but if you could get to Eugene at least, I could almost guarantee you a ride. If you can't get to Eugene... we'll work some planning magic. I can't give you any guarantees until January at the earliest, but consider yourself having a ride until I say otherwise. : D

[sk_chan]

Wait, Felix...which Aang are you working on now then? Do you have any pictures?

[Felix]

@sk: School uniform Aang in season three (this one) but this one is my backup if I don't have time to make the sleeves. I might do day of the black sun version for Sak (assuming I can make it there).

@Yagi: the greyhound only stops in medford, not Ashland, and I have no way to get to medford. xD; (this is a problem I have run into many times before. the public transportation in ashland is AWFUL.) I still don't know if it'll work since I don't know how far into the term it'll be or if I'll be able to miss those classes, so I wouldn't worry about it at this point.

actually, I'm not sure what the schedule is.... okay, I looked it up. It looks like Sak's about 1/3-halfway through the term, so I'll be in Ashland.

@Malaria: you mean my in-case-I-can't-finish-on-time version? I'm actually leaning toward that one at this point because I'm not looking forward to making those stupid sleeve things. (WHY, FIRE NATION. WHY.)

[Hashi]

Felix:I have faith you can do the sleeves! But if not, yeah we can do the arrows on you.

sidenote: TEEEOOOOO. I still want to be teo at some point but oh well.

[Felix]

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TOO
BUT YOU MAKE SUCH A GREAT JET.
...it would also be very difficult to navigate the con in a wheelchair.

[Hashi]

Imma just be Jet for Sak XDD Teo will never be a reality, so instead I'll just adore any teo cosplayer ever. If only he didnt have his chair.. if only.

[Felix]

Maybe if you did it for a photoshoot only? It wouldn't be doable within conspace for obvious reasons, unless the chair could be folded up and carried...

Ugh my progress today was horrible so far. :c I sewed a little bit of trim then I napped like an invalid all afternoon because I felt really shitty. Hopefully I can finish the rest of the trim on Aang's coat thingy tonight... and I need to make another belt. D:

Also, Jaqua... I don't know if you found pants for Katara yet but I realised my pyjamas would work perfectly. I'd let you borrow them providing you don't cut them.

[Hashi]

Update! Probably most likely for sure doing Kiyoshi Warrior Suki for Sakuracon. Need to figure out scheduling, but yes.

[Auricle]

I sewed me some sleeves and cuffs today. There's gathered lace at the bottom of the cuff and it's really adorable. <3 I also sewed on like a million buttons. By which I mean 22 buttons. And I still need 6 more. ' w ';

All I have to do for my jacket now is sew in some shoulder pads, make my bandoleers, finish the buttons and hooks, and voila~

Of course I still have to make the waistcoat and pants.

Tomorrow is going to be a total waste 'cause I have to go to Redmond, Washington for C.A.R. stuff. Sucks bad.

Oh, and Ashley downgraded our room today, it's not much cheaper though. Malaria, Felix, if you're still considering rooming with us the cost is $74.40 for the entire weekend. = w =;

[Malaria]

Yay for progress!
I did almost nothing today and just sort of moped with headaches. I'm getting up early tomorrow so I can at least cut parts for the accessories.

I'm still doing my best to avoid staying in the hotel because it's a lot of money. I feel really bad leaving you guys hanging like this, but it's looking more like I'm gonna be in the dorm. But if I spazz and decide to bunk with you, it'll be like getting surprise money! : D

[Felix]

I'm still waiting to hear back about the rooming situation as well.

[jaqua]

@Felix: I'm SET for Katara's pants, actually, I found a really good pair that will work awesome (I hope). Plus I have another pair that I got and was planning to hem hardcore (before I found the good pair, since the ones I'd found earlier were super baggy), but since I don't need them anymore I can cut them up and use them for her wrist thingies.

@Valeria: THHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSEEEEEE COOOOOOONTAAAAAAAAAAAAACTSSSSSS ARE SOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL oh man I can't wait to see them in person.

@Hashi: Do you still want to do some wig styling tomorrow? I'm pretty much free all day.

Also, sorry to anyone who's been try to text or call or anything, I lost my phone Thursday on Hawthorne and therefore have been out of the loop for everything :/ not to mention my sewing machine is broken and I still have like, all of Hungary left to finish. Bahhhhhhhhhhh

[Malaria]

AREN'T THEY? I'm having issues getting them in not inside-out, 'cause I seriously can't tell the difference until they're actually in my eye.

YOU'RE STILL DOING HUNGARY? : D I was totally expecting you to drop it due to time constraints. <3

[jaqua]

OF COURSE I'M STILL DOING HUNGARY. I LOVE HER. Plus I already bought all the fabric so I might as well :| I WILL FINISH HER IF I HAVE TO STAY UP UNTIL THE CON STARTS.

They are super duper awesome. I love crazy contacts :'D Are they prescription? Did you order them with a base curve? Are they comfortable? Are they as cool-looking in person? Why is the sky blue? What sound does a cat make?

[Malaria]

AAAH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Not prescription, no base curve. I ordered them off colorlens4less.com, but later found out they'd be cheaper off youknowit.com, so sadface. They're pretty comfy, and I look AWESOME. Especially when I only have one in, then I am super terrifying. : D

[Hashi]

@Jaqua: YES WIG STYLING. COME AT NOON.
sorry guys, my nets been dumb tonight.

[jaqua]

@Valeria: I LOVE YOU TOOOOOO DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LET YOU BE AUSTRIA WITHOUT ME AS YOUR WAIFU
That explains it. Without base curves lenses are just floppy little discs of annoying. Awesome floppy little discs of annoying, though.

@Hashi: I WILL BE THERE THEN. Without my phone I won't be able to text you to let you know I'm there though... So just like... Come down around 12:15, since I'm always late. And I will be there.

[Malaria]

I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'RE THE HASBANDO, BUT YOU CAN BE THE WAIFU IF YOU WANT
They're not without a base curve entirely, it just wasn't one I could choose. I don't remember what the actual number was.

[Hashi]

@Jaqua: YOOOSSH. Okay, I will be there at 12:15. dont forget the wig, and maybe bobby pins. we used a lot for toph...

[Malaria]

We used ALL THE BOBBY PINS. ALL OF THEM.
okay not literally but there are at least 20 in that wig.
Oh, and I got the wig cap off! It's a little bit mangled, though. >>

[jaqua]

@Hashi: Oh boy. I can never seem to hold onto bobby pins. I'll have to see how many I can scrounge up around my house. But I will be there with all of them. And my wig/wefts.

@Valeria: Truth. Waifu in gender, husbando in... familial role?

[Malaria]

... yeah I don't even know. That's too heteronormative for me. We can both be the waifu. XD Or we can both be... both.

[Hashi]

Uggghh I still have so much to do OTL

Sk, youre swords may end up being finished that day you get here, it depends on how soon I can get more spray paint. We also may end up doing your scar that day. Does that sounds okay?

[Felix]

JAQUA DID YOU SEW YOUR TRIM YET OR DO I NEED TO COME AND DEPRIVE YOU OF THINGS UNTIL YOU DO? >8|

I still need to find a wig cap. I looked for the stockings but I couldn't find the knee-high ones in queen size. Hashi, do you know of anywhere downtown I can get one? (I'd rather not have to go too far...)

[Hashi]

Felix: Ummm... wigland near lloyd?  other than that, maybe Rite-Aid, they may have whats called 'wave caps' lol.

Jaqua: Did you want to come with us to pick up the makeup tommorrow? Yagi is getting back and our makeup order is in. We may do a test run too.

[jaqua]

@Valeria: Both be the both. I like that. Let's be that.

@Hashi: Sure! What time are you thinking? I don't think I have anything going on but I don't want to be out too late... So much stuff left to do

@Felix: I DID I DID AREN'T YOU PROUD?! It's not going to be to your standards but it'll work! 8D What day(s) do you want to get together to work on stuff? I'm pretty much free whenever.

[Hashi]

Jaqua: Oh just for when we finish the wig. the place closes at 5, so before then?

[Auricle]

If you guys want to have a hotel room for just a night or two, one night'll be $25. Sorry to bother you both so much, but I just wanted to let you know. = w =;

[Malaria]

No, that's really helpful. Thank you. <3
AND THANK YOU FOR THE CRAZY DICE : D

[Auricle]

<3<3<3

Crazy dice make the world more colorful~

Plus it's fun to send out the free thingys lj has.

[Malaria]

-clutch- ilu so much
I'll also probably be giving you your stuff Friday. Sorry the scheduling is so wonked this time around.

[Auricle]

-hugglehuggle- ilu too

Don't worry, Friday is a-okay. ' w ' We'll just remember to bring Ashley's flag and everything will be peachy.

Oh, oh! My contacts got here! I really want to try them on, but Ashley wants me to wait 'till she gets home so she can try hers on as well. I need to get another contacts case before that.

I'm very nearly finished with my jacket. Right now I'm cutting out the waistcoat, pants, and bandoleers. Still need buttons though. > 3 <

[Felix]

MALARIA. I MIGHT HAVE FOUND US A PLACE TO STAY FOR FREE. MAYBE. CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

[Malaria]

AAAAAAH
IS IT DOWNTOWN, CLOSE TO CON AND NOT CREEPY?

[Felix]

Aah, it's Jaqua's mum's apartment. So yes, close enough, and yes. (We just have to talk them into letting us stay, since jaqua's at the hotel this year.)
JAQUAAAAAAAAAAA. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LOSE YOUR PHONE??
(if you check this before tomorrow... can we work at your apartment or Hashi and Yagi's dorm? You coming over kind of doesn't work for tomorrow.)

Also, a sort of update thing. I know I can't finish the steampunk on time so I'll just have Aang and the PJs for the hetalia panel. Because I can do that.

[Malaria]

Erm. I dunno how okay I'd feel about staying at someone's place when they're not there with parents I haven't met. D: You're cool to stay there, but I'd rather tough it out on Hashi and Yagi's floor.

[Felix]

Hmm, yeah, they might be less okay with someone they've never met. It would be more convenient to stay with Hashi and Yagi but I guess this can be my backup?

[Malaria]

If after one night you want to kill someone, I'd say retreat there. XD

[Felix]

Is it fairly likely I'll want to kill someone? I haven't met them, aside from talking to sk a little on the forum... she seems cool.

[Malaria]

Everyone is fine to hang around in general. But everything is more obnoxious with six people sleeping in one room.

[Felix]

...I think it'll be seven if I'm staying too. 8D;
I dunno, I generally get along pretty easily with people.

[Malaria]

Yagi, Hashi, Cali, Max, SK, me, you...
I'm not missing anyone, am I?

[Malaria]

double post for whining

Hashi, I have a dentist's appointment tomorrow, so I can't wig in the morning. Maaaybe the afternoon, but no guarantees. Does Wednesday work?

[Felix]

That is seven. unless you're counting two people as one.
