Entry tags:
Player Plot: Kaicon
WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: The Civic Center
WHEN: June 3rd to the 5th
WHAT: Anime convention!!
WARNINGS: None
Kaicon, Kaisou’s anime convention, is bustling with activity when it opens to the public on Friday. People are in line to pick up their badges, attend panels, cosplay, spend some money, and generally have a good time. Why not join them? It's an all weekend long event, celebrating everything anime!

[Panels]
Panels are discussions or presentations about anime, manga, video games, or other series run by con-goers for fellow attendees, and Kaicon has plenty of them! Some of them are informative, such as teaching you the history of manga. There’s panels discussing your favorite anime, there’s interactive panels such as doing your own voice acting, or anime-themed game shows. There’s even funny or entertaining panels, such as panels that show funny clips from different bad anime!
Some panels are 18+ and con staff will check if you’re sneaking into an R-rated panel!
[Cosplay]
Something becomes apparent as you explore the convention. Mainly, a lot of these con attendees are dressed up in costumes! Some you may recognize from different anime, but people are dressed up in costumes from any kind of series, show, video game, or movie! If you look at your convention guide or just hang around the right place, you might find organized group cosplays! Either join in the fun with your own costume or remember to take some pictures!
[Dealer’s Room/Artist Alley]
For those of you with money to burn, there’s the Dealer’s Room that’s connected to the Artist Alley. Here, you’ll find all kinds of anime and manga merchandise. Plushies? Check. Figurines? Check. Video games and trading cards? Also check.
If you can’t find a plushie or figure you like, then head over to Artist Alley! These booths are run by artist con-goers, and they’ll have everything from posters, pins, buttons, and handmade plushies. You may find series or media you wouldn’t normally find in the Dealer’s Room.
Just watch those wallets!
[Video Games]
And of course, there’s a video game room. You’ll find games typically found in an arcade, mostly two player games for you and a friend to enjoy. And if you’re really feeling it, there’s plenty of rhythm and dancing games!
[Dance]
On Saturday night, Kaicon will host a dance that will go late into the night! Get your party on, whether in cosplay or normal clothes. Alcohol isn’t allowed in the dance, but maybe you can slide something in if you're sneaky and determined enough.
———
By Sunday evening, the con winds down and comes to an end. There will be a closing ceremonies show for people to attend, as well as people saying their goodbyes and doing their final cosplays and panels.
Hope to see you next Kaicon!
(OOC: Looking for series to find at the con but struggling to come up with knock-off names for stuff? Mog has a list here!)

I'm okay with anything. Everything is new to me, after all.
[ Just wandering aimlessly and checking out whatever that catches their eye... it's oddly relaxing. ]
no subject
But she holds it back even as she grins at him once more, stepping closer so that she can loop her arm around his - already tugging him along and leading the way. ]
It's all new for me as well. So, ah... [ And now she reaches for the map in her handbag, flicking through it for a moment. ]
Let's start with that panels thing and go from there!
no subject
[ He walks in step with Ana, looking around the convention. So many people dressed in costumes and made without the use of Arts... the craftsmanship is amazing! The crowd doesn't faze him, either. ]
A panel is sort of like a presentation, right? [ Maybe he'll learn more about the culture of this place. ]
no subject
Mmhm, that's right. They're usually about all sorts of things, so it's hard to narrow it down [ She has done some research but not a lot... Her con knowledge is limited. ]
There's one about fashion... [ She points at one nearby, before pointing to another. ] And that one seems to be about rating their fave in a show. Something about "best boy".
no subject
We could go to the fashion one. [ That's Ana's hobby, and learning more about it wouldn't hurt. He would be able to talk to her more about her interests. ] It sounds interesting, and practical.
[ At least he thinks it's practical... inb4 it's only about cosplay ]
