If you want to kill someone, put them in a suitcase and leave it outside Oxfam

[pez]

At work. Wearing tweed plus-twos. XD

I think the morning coffee has made me wildly energetic. Not sure if this will last.

dystopiarcadia, (if you're reading this) will you be coming to Expo? It's the weekend after next, 24/25th. I thought you mentioned once that you might go. I'm going on both days (as Dave for both days, I think, since I don't have any other shiny costume ready) so if you do go we can meet up whenever!

Actually that goes for everyone else... I know digiguy_online and sephirayne are going (which day? Or both days?) ...anyone else? It's being held at Custom House, as usual. I might not going inside the actual Expo itself, because it seems to be the same every year, so I might just hang around outside looking at cosplay and see if I bump into anyone I know. But if someone I know/wearing an exciting costume is participating in the masquerade or if someone tells me there's exciting stuff going on then I'll go inside. XD

In terms of transport, I don't know about buses but one can get to Custom House by DLR. And by some miracle, DLR will be running that weekend!

Question: if a suitcase is found outside Oxfam, do you...

1) Assume it's a donation and bring it inside the shop?
2) Call the police, create major havoc which ends up in the suitcase being blown up as a security precaution?

Apparently, in the town where my office used to be* before the move early this year, the answer was 2).

............erm, I guess they had their reasons............. but.....................

* town being a very small Essex town nobody's ever heard of with one high street filled mostly with estate agents, charity shops, pawn shops and funeral directors.

[edit] I'm bored enough that I've started a Google Calendar to note down the stuff I get to do in my ever-so-exciting life. orz

And for your daily dose of cute, fawn and bobcat taking shelter from wildfire. It's old news, but BOBCAT. SO CUTE.

Huh, Expo is pretty cheap; maybe the SO and I will wander down for one of the days.

Heee! If you do, give me a ring when you're there!

[storme]

Of course! I haven't actually seen you in the full Dave splendour, after all. ;)

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

It'd be an interesting outfit to be wearing to meet him for the first time. XD

[storme]

I'm sure my SO will be more amused than scared. Well, relatively sure. :P

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Well, he can see this entry, so he can consider himself warned. >D

(I bet he will want to stroke the Gae Bolg.)

[storme]

Well, I might warn him too. Y'know. If I'm feeling nice. :)

(Everyone wants to stroke the Gae Bolg. It is so shiny!)

Oh wow, talk about overkill! I can understand extreme measures in the case of lonely suitcases left in busy places with lots of people milling around and thus lots of potential for huge damage, but... Oxfam?!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yeah. =/ I don't know when this happened, I just got told it because I left a small suitcase outside the main office today and got told off for it. orz Maybe it was during the time when everyone got really worked up about security. But seriously, at that town, and outside Oxfam? The chances of it being a bomb couldn't be 0%, it had to be -100%!

Maybe someone had illusions of grandeur... "we're so important that someone might want to blow us up!" XD

Yeap, I'm there both days. As part of 'Team Evil' as cain Nightroad on sat (theres a few of us in Nazi like uniforms). And then my Abel on Sun. I'm staying at a friends so I'm not sure if I can make the evening events or not.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Oh uniforms! You mean Contra Mundi? They stuff is really quite Nazi-like. But also very pretty! Looking forward to it. I'm sure I'll spot you - there's no way I will miss a Cain cosplayer!

For me I haven't decided yet, it's either Dave for both days (ie same costume as Aya), or Soldier Blue for Saturday and Dave for Sunday. :)

[sephirayne.livejournal.com]

Yeap. The RozenCreuz Orden. Can't remember the exact number we have. I know for defo we have; Cain, Isaak, Dietrich, Radu and Sieglinde.

Looking forward to seeng what you wearing and seeing you. Should be an epic event. XX

Oh gosh, the Fawn and Bobcat entry was so cute my brain melted a little bit *O*

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yessss.

That bobcat must be pretty big, although it looks all fluffy and cute. I mean, that's a baby fawn but it must still be quite a big animal, and the bobcat doesn't look very small in comparison! Big, fat paws. ;; Fluffy fluffy fluffy! And those ears!!!!

[kedi-kedi.livejournal.com]

I think young bobcats are as big as fully grown domestic cats.

But it doesn't matter about size, god, they're just so so so so so cute! dskgns;klgns'glskdagndsklgjbdfkjgbd WANTS!
