Usually, I wear a kimono on the last day of the con. It has been a tradition since I started going to cons in 2005. However on Friday, Youji asked me to cosplay Ritsuka on Sunday, since she has a Loveless group with Soubi, Youji and Natsuo. I initially declined, but when I saw her again on Saturday, I accepted. I had fun being Ritsuka. ^.^

poor Soubi ^^;

Youji and Soubi found me by the waffle stand in the morning. My breakfast. ^.^ More like Soubi surprised me with a hug. Soubi: Ritsuka! Me: *blush* Soubi and I ordered and ate our waffles while Youji took a nap on Soubi's nice soft coat. (I promised Soubi that I wouldn't be jealous. ^^;) Yuujiro (Princess Princess) also joined us. He initially had lace tied about his head, but since we all had cat ears (except for Soubi of course,) he changed it for cat ears. ^.^

Natsuo met up with us soon after and as a full group, the Loveless fans came. Of course, Zero had alot of fun torturing Soubi. Ritsuka just stood there 'making memories'. ^^; (BTW, the sword is from the Inuyasha I met the day before.)

We went to Cosclips for more pictures. I ended up buying a group shot. *hugs pic* We look so awesome! I wish I was shorter though. Soubi in platform boots is tall...but I still come up to her shoulders when I'm suppose be at chest level. I am only 12 years old.... ^^; The fighting and ending scenes to the Zeros vs. Soubi episode was recreated.

We had fun with Soubi's coat. ^.^

Me: Soubi-kun!?! O.O

Loveless vs. Zeros. Fighters and Sacrifices.

Photoshoots 1 and dealer's room

After a couple more shots, Natsuo wanted to take pics of me and Soubi for her school photography project. (Clarification on who is who, the Soubi cosplayer was actually the Natsuo cosplayer from friday. This Natsuo is someone new-to me. Not sure why clarification is needed...but it is good to know. ^.^) We went outside since the lighting would be better. Yuujiro came with us though Youji stayed inside. (She was already sick and didn't want to get worse.) It was cold, but being with Soubi.... *blush* ^.^ Natsuo directed us on what to do.

Afterwards, we went back in and encountered Youji who turned into Tamaki. Soubi went to change into Haruhi while Yuujiro and Natsuo left for the Dealer's room. I stayed in order to capture more memories. I was not disappointed. ^.^

We headed back to the Dealer's room for more pics and shopping. (Sunday cons = sales!) We had been playing with Mario series plushies all weekend. Each one made different sounds. Natsuo and Yuujiro joined us soon after Tamaki bought a yellow mushroom. Of course, it was to take 'Tamaki growing mushrooms' pics. ^.^

Tamaki and his co-host 'shroom' auditioned to become Tokyo Reporter. *click goes Ritsuka's camera* ^.^

Photoshoots 2 and dealer's room again

After more pics at the Cosclips booth, Tamaki and Haruhi encountered one of the cosplay photographers. This prompted another outside photoshoot with Tamaki and Haruhi. There was this funny scene with Tamaki grabbing onto Haruhi's leg...but I wasn't able to get a vid clip of it. (Gomen ne, Tamaki-senpai. >.<) I took wide shots while the photographer took close and angled shots. Between the both of us, Tamaki and Haruhi has lots of pics. ^.^ We went inside and took more pics by the escalators. Then the photographer took some pics of me and Yuujiro. We exchanged infos, said our goodbyes and separated soon after.

Yuujiro and I went around to see what else I could buy. I picked up a Domo-kun shirt for Diana-chan. I knew she wanted one yesterday, but didn't get it. ^.^ We stopped by the Netcomics booth where I realized that Yuujiro knew the human Luna cosplayer that I admired at my first con. ^.^ He was not in cosplay and there were no intros, but I followed after them as Yuujiro tried to find the Suzumiya Haruhi booth with the CDs since the Luna cosplayer wanted it. It took us awhile, but we finally found the booth.

We went back to Netcomics so Yuujiro could change out of his shoes into something more comfortable before we headed to the closing ceremonies to catch the winners of the hallcosplay and the other competitions. Youji as Louise from King of Fighters was competing. There was also a competition in 'Who wants to be a voice actor' where the winner gets role in an anime. Wow.... O.o After the ceremony ended, Yuujiro and I exchanged our contact info and he headed back to help his friend.

While I was waiting for my car service, I met a girl with her mother. I spoke with her briefly on Friday. I think this was her first con and we had a short discussion about cosplay, my age (they thought I was 18 ^^;) and my hair (which they thought was real. ^^V) It was an interesting way to end the con. I arrived back at the apartment, bought some fruit in thanks for letting me stay at the apartment, finished packing and took another car service to Penn Station. There was no way I could maneuver an even heavier suitcase, with a heavier bag and props through the subway. I collapsed on the train ride home. -.-Zzz
