[OPEN LOG] Metacon

[lovecon]

Who: ME & YOU
What: In conjunction with the Love Hotel log, a super nerdy convention for those not interested in the aforementioned/would like to do both.
When: July 26th - 28th
Where: FDC's convention center
Warnings: nodes, I mean, nerds
Reference: Planning Post





Perhaps you've been waiting all week--nay, all year for it as some have. This morning is the morning tickets for Metacon go on sale. Not far from the Love Hotel is a mammoth building, a whopping four stories tall and easily three blocks long. It's not difficult to miss the scores and scores of eager con-goers ready to get their badges, with lines that literally stretch around the building. But don't fret if you get here a little late--by the afternoon the line will have died down, the most dedicated of nerds already long since inside the building getting first dibs on all the sights and sounds.

After you pick up your badge you'll be given a guide to all the shows, panels and events, and most importantly a an actually legible just use your imagination here map. You of course will not be let in without a badge, so don't even try. The con-bouncers here are STRICT. Seriously, don't want to mess with these guys...

Doors open at 8am and close at 2am every night, until the convention comes to a very... crushing end on Saturday during the Kaiju Trivia Contest... so until then, ENJOY METACON!


HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

• For those of you familiar with how 4th wall events work, this log will be styled in a very similair manner. Your dude is now in a SUPER NERDY SCI-FI/ANIME/MOVIE/NERD CONVENTION! If you are not in Smash Academy you are welcome to play around in this log to your heart's content! TELL YOUR FRIENDS! INVITE YOUR FRIENDS! INVITE YOUR FRIEND'S FRIENDS...! If you are in the game but maybe have a character that would not be appable, or have an old or dropped character you wouldn't mind dusting off, you can play them in this log. If you feel so inclined, you may even play as yourselves. This is Metacon, after all. All that we ask is that you keep these very meta happenings to this log.

• MAKE YOUR OWN THREADS & NPCS! Unlike the Love Hotel, there will be no bubbly redhead NPC types around here. You are given free reign, and are very encouraged to not only make your own threads (I'll make a few to get the ball rolling, but the rest are up to you!), but also NPc whoever you need to make this event fun; the nasally Cosplay Contest host, big beefy guy running that panel, that foul-smelling kid you're stuck with in the elevator, ect. If you're afraid, just remember, IT'S METACON. You can do no wrong here.

• You may be wondering, "BUT HOW THE HECK AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN ALL THAT CRAZY NONSENSE IN CHARACTER?" That is the beauty of this event, almost everything can be waved off as being part of the convention atmosphere. You know, those are really dedicated cosplayers... they look so real! Or you can roll with the reality of meeting your duplicate/doppleganger/dead best friend/that really famous celebrity guy/ect; however you want to work it out is up to you.

• Any other details or questions you have may be answered by checking out our old 4th wall event.

• It's Eggman's Birthday on Friday the 26th, everyone should go give birthday boy some nice presents either here or back at the hotel.

A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[420boondolla]

Just who is that outrageously-dressed cosplayer over there? He looks like a friendly jester, or maybe a fantastical bard. He's got a pair of wicked horns and a downright enviable codpiece. Chances are he's been following you, his face perpetually frozen in a trancelike state with a knowing smile. That's right. He knows you want what he's got to sell, even if you don't. Maybe it's about time to confront him on the matter? Tell him to cut the shit right out and get his motherfuckin run on to some other sucker who's willing to put up with his vigilant soliciting?

Or maybe you want to see what he's got on the market.

"... How obscene."

Shadow was not about to grace this horribly-dressed cosplayer with anything more than that. I mean, come on, just look at that codpiece. How odd, however, that those horns looked very real. This one at least had crafting talent.

...

Was that blood he smelled in the air? Hopefully not. Or was it more like medication? Or... candy?

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[420boondolla]

The purple bard only stares. And smiles. He saw you taking a peep in on his fanciful codpiece. For that, he merely winks.

"You look like the kind of guy who's got it in for candy," he said in an eerily hushed voice. "May I be one to interest you in some motherfuckin lollies? Only four and twenty a pop."

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[obfuskate]

Oh, he got the connotation of that, alright. $4.20. Of course, like... yeah.

That explained why this one looked like he had his head in the clouds.

"Lollies," he spoke softly, looking them over, and then Shadow cringes, as if a nasty memory just smacked him in the face and changed his mind. "Surely they have no suspicious ingredients in them at all."

Taste that sarcasm. It's delicious.

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[420boondolla]

He brought up a reassuring palm and shook his head sagely. "NOT A ONE. I motherfuckin promise. Just a whole fuckin lot of blood sugar on a stick."

And then from his other hand he produced a few of the suckers he was so intent on selling. Colorful and round, right? You totally wanted to buy some, right? He trailed a hand beneath them like he had just pulled a magic trick out of nowhere and was presenting it to an audience full of slackjawed children.

"WHAT'S MORE. They come in all kinds of crazy colors." Yes, indeed they did. He had a blue one, a purple one, and a kind of orangey-brown one. "I got more if you wanna get your browse on them."

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[obfuskate]

... What.

Was that really food-colored blood?

Shadow gave a soft sniff, stomach clenching once he realizes that, yes, these are quite literally made of blood sugar. This was blood. How did this crazy cosplayer obtain enough blood to make candy out of?!

It was times like these that made Shadow glad that he had an exceptional sense of smell.

"Absolutely not. I can easily get you arrested for this."

Easily.

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[420boondolla]

Gamzee didn't even seem fazed by this sort of threat. He calmly fixed his eyes on Shadow, like he had been doing practically the entire exchange.

"You like blue?" He held out the blue one and danced it in front of his eyes. "I can tell when a motherfucker likes em blue."

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[obfuskate]

Um.

No.

Never.

Never blue.

shiiiiitshitshithowdidheknow

"... I will repeat that. I can easily get you arrested right here, right now. Do you not comprehend that?"

Wow. Really.

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[420boondolla]

He gently forced the lollipop into Shadow's mouth to keep him quiet. "Shhhhh. I'll bill you later."

Blue Pop: This lollipop's sure to make you trip some serious balls. Sometimes literally. You will start hallucinating things that aren't even there, but since you're so out of it, who are you to judge? Maybe you're even hallucinating the fact that you are destructively STRONG, or breaking up an intense sweat over the smallest of things. Especially unreal things. The damage cost might be very real, though.

[iwannacheat]

This guy was disturbing Kazooie sort of. Ah, it felt like back home with the neighbors, although Bottles would never dress like that. Maybe Mumbo. If he drinks enough.

"Nice horns," they greeted.

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[420boondolla]

"Thanks. HONK." His tranquil stoner face broke a bit to let loose that ridiculous onomatopoeia. "Like your lobe dangles. They're confusing."

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[iwannacheat]

"Uh. Yes."

Okay.

"Wha'cha selling?"

Re: A Whimsical Clown Sells Lollipop Drugs

[420boondolla]

"Only the most motherfuckin bitchtits lollipops ever made yo. Take a motherfuckin look on these." Out they come in pretty colors. Anyone who's out of their mind wouldn't be enticed by those mothersuckers. "420 boondollars a pop. You're gonna wanna buy at least two, cuz otherwise you'll motherfuckin regret not having at least one more stick on hand."

your motherfuck is a bitchtit lollipop

[iwannacheat]

The pops sure looked edible, but even if they didn't, buying shady merchandise is what keeps life from being boring. NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING TOTALLY SHADY ABOUT THESE POPS. The seller, but there's been a whole bunch of kooky alien people running about here.

Welp.

"Got a currency conversion rate for regular dollars"?

[420boondolla]

"Maaan, I don't even know what the fuck all that regular dollar noise is," he answered honestly with a small shrug. "Just give me whatever you think is right."

[iwannacheat]

Kazooie had now probably heard the word "fuck" more times in two minutes than she's ever heard over the course of her life. Maybe that eyesore of crotch armor has something to do with it, but maybe she's spent too much time working at that Love Hotel.

She pulled out a bottle of soda from her ad-smothered convention bag.

"What would ten dollars and a partially-used bottle of western pop entitle me to?"

[420boondolla]

"...Auuuoh shiiiiiiit..." His eyes gravitated toward the soda, staring longingly at its murky carbonated contents.

[420boondolla]

"Where oh where did you get your find on for that wicked elixir?" the mirthful merchant marveled. "This city is so motherfuckin whack. All the other me's all walking around know where to get that shit but I don't got a motherfuckin clue where the rest of the Faygo's be at. Shiiiit sis, you best know you can pawn off as many of these suckers as you motherfucking wish for a deal what's good like that. Honk."

[drshocky]

"Nice boner."

[420boondolla]

"Oh man, how'd you know?"

[drshocky]

"Lucky guess..."

Hahaha, humans were pretty funny. This guy had a wicked costume going on, though. If she didn't know any better, she'd think he was actually some alien demon thing!

But that would be dumb. Even for Final Destination.

"What're you selling, anyway? Candy? To little kids?"

[420boondolla]

"Candy to everyone." He stuck his hand behind his back and retrieved a few lollipops one by one, throwing each into the air, and when he was done, he caught all of them with unmatched precision. Then, he fanned them out in front of her like a deck of cards. "420 boonies for a motherfuckin party in your mastication cave. You interested?"

that icon...........

[drshocky]

Well, that was a pretty impressive party trick. They did look pretty...

She dug around in her pocket, pulling out a few coins. "I'm not from the boonies, but I got $4.20 in dollars. They're not all sweet, are they?"

:o)

[420boondolla]

"That'll do just fine," he assured. "And I'm pretty motherfuckin sure they're all sweet. Take your pick on a color?"

But there's so many. Well, as many as a rainbow might have. There's nothing immediately suspicious about them unless you have a keen sense of smell.

}:(

[drshocky]

Uuugh... Well, maybe she'd luck out and one of them would be less sweet than all the rest. She sniffed at the wrappers, having just as good a nose as the rest of the rest of her line.

"What the--?!"

What were these smells? Fudge? Olives? The stench of loneliness? Uh...

"How about... the green one..."
