Sooo it's already been a little over a week since Abunai 2013 ended. Now I'm only left with pleasant memories... and a cold.

Friday

I drove to Abunai along with my boyfriend REPLICA-Photography and the-essie! As usual my suitcase pretty much took up all the space we had in the back of the car, whoopsie. After driving for more than an hour we finally arrived at the convention site, where we found some of our friends in the waiting line! It was there where I bought my newest nendoroid off someone, which is Elsie :heart: Thanks Arysia17!! :D

So we got in and it was time to get the room. It was very hot that day, so I decided to drop my original plan of cosplaying Lisbeth (SAO) on friday and decided to put on Megumi (Shiki) instead. When we got everything in the room I decided to take a short shower first before wearing the cosplay, it was so warm @///@

I was pretty insecure about this cosplay, it was my first time wearing something I completely made from scratch so when I walked through the halls wearing the costume I had the feeling that everyone was looking in a bad way, like the dress could fall off any second or something like that. I was extremely selfconcious -_-;

Fortunately when I met up with my friends bradaan, Hellbunny46 and gemelli they were all complimenting me on my outfit! Yaay ;A; /confidence boosted.

Bradaan was already wearing her Rosalia (SAO) outfit despite the heat. She looked amazing! Very sexy, she should do cosplays like these more often~ :D I also brought my camera, so I snapped some photos of everyone!

And then... we found the most awesome thing ever!! A tractor! And I was wearing Megumi!! So obviously we had to make use of this opportunity. Stupidity ensued.


Megumi finally embracing the Sotoba lifestyle?!


Get your own b*tch!

Obviously we also made some pics of me lying under the thing. Still need to upload those :P

We also made our way to the dealerroom, where I bought some cool things! Also the most shocking thing ever happened: SOMEONE RECOGNIZED ME! First time ever when wearing a Shiki cosplay :'D
After that it was time to cheer for our friends Ladykitsuka and UchihaSasuke333 who were competing in the Cosplay Fashion Show!! And they even landed second place, congrats!! ^___^

It was already getting late so we hurried outside where REPLICA-Photography was celebrating his birthday, and because he locked his keys into our hotelroom he texted me for cake while I was at the CFS... Never noticed anything, whoopsie. So we got cake and plates and such :D Party time!

And when it got late me and a bunch of friends decided to grab some drinks! We had a lot of random conversations~ But it was a lot of fun.


Oh hey, it's us. XD

Saturday

Ugh, I kind of dreaded this day, because I was gonna wear Lisbeth today and the costume was pretty uncomfortable from what I'd experienced at home. So I asked REPLICA-Photography if he would go with me right after putting it on, take some pictures and afterward I could take it off if I wanted to. Anyway, when I dressed myself I noticed it wasn't as bad as I remembered, and the fact that it had cooled down that day was also helping.  On our way to the woods we came across Jeroen Weimar who came along. Anyway, they managed to snap some pretty pictures of me! Yaay ;O; (Though my collar was like, totally crooked -___-)

When we were walking back to the convention site I came across a Gilgamesh cosplayer :heart: :heart: :drool:

He was a super nice guy! :D

After all this it was time to stalk gemelli who was having a photoshoot with REPLICA-Photography . Time to derp!


After that bradaan and me grabbed our weapons so we could attend the Sword Art Online shoot. Unfortunately it started raining, so we only got like three photos. And when the group walked into the convention site to continue the shoot there, we kind of lost them because we met more friends of ours! XD 


One of the few SAO group shots with us in it. XD Surprisingly enough, I was the only Lisbeth at the entire convention! Photo by Nick Valk.

We also came across DoctorCow who was busy filming his CMV. He asked us if we wanted to be in his video, so the obvious answer was of course yes. I love his work~ ^^ After he was done, it was time for me to change out of Lisbeth and to wear some casual clothes for some photography! I got a text from Amirine if I had time to shoot with her, so I made my way there.

Jeroen Weimar was also there, and Gilgamesh! :drool: (So hoping my BF will cosplay him too, in his armor ver :drool: )

Unfortunately the shoot was shortlived because I came across some of my friends who also wanted to get their photos taken @__@ Get in line please!

Also a little shoot with HanaeXMermaids and her BF. I noticed that I had gotten some lens problems during this one T.T
I also did a shoot with Ladykitsuka and her pretty Rapunzel cosplay :heart:

And before we knew it, it was time for the Cosplay Compo. The acts were pretty interesting, especially at the end.
After this it was time for... PIZZA! LOTS O' PIZZA!!


We ordered 41 pizza's!! Pretty crazy! And soooo delicious :heart: Photo by Job Fermie


Pizza tower!! I'm somewhere in the back :'D Photo by DoctorCow

And for REPLICA-Photography 's birthday, they gave his car eyelashes :'D Lovely.
After this we quickly had to change into our Shiki costumes for our creepy shoot at nightfall!!
We started a bit later than expected, and our photographer cancelled ... so I was a bit bummed to say the least >< Fortunately REPLICA-Photography came to the resque, and he also brought some fake blood! Ohh yay~

After we were done we decided to get really bloody using the fake blood, to scare some of our friends XD 
We decided to get some drinks while bloody, and then we photographer approached us, asking if he could do a small photoshoot with us using cool light effects. So that was pretty cool and those photos turned out really awesome.

It was already getting pretty late and I needed to shower, because I was still covered in sweat and fake blood. It was a funny sight, seeing all that blood wash off you. XD

After this we had a small room party in bradaan and :devHellbunny46: 's room. ^__^

Sunday

Uuuuughhhh. We got up waay too early for my taste. ~__~ Thing was, my boyfriend and some friends of ours were competing in a Game contest at 10AM, and we needed to have our hotelroom cleared out by 12. So we did that and had some breakfast... I was beginning to feel really sick. So I decided not to wear any cosplay today ~__~ I cheered the boys on in the audience of the game competition. And they won! Hurrah!! :D

I didn't really do much that day, though I did snap some photos while having camera problems.

We ended the day with some delicious sushi! :3
So all in all, Abunai 2013 was a great succes!!
