gershom goes to a con open post

[A]
Do you think I could get away with going out to an anime convention?

[Whether handwaved or not, you're someone allowed in Gershom's apartment for him to anxiously ask the question.]

I've seen pictures of modern cosplays and they're incredible... So maybe I could pass as someone wearing a really, really good mask, nu?

[B]
[Wow, that guy's Sans cosplay is really good. Like eerily realistic. His jaw even moves when he talks and he's got full articulation in his skeleton hands and everything.

Also, he's wearing a dozen charms of various anime cats.]

Excuse me, um, do you know if any of the vendors are selling cat ear headbands?

Jailbreak can probably do anything, really. Or at least most things.

[nijistaryume]

Right? It's so cool! I wish I could build half that stuff, but I don't have magic. Or money, but you find some cool stuff in the dumpster sometimes as long as you can get it home past the social workers.

[Jail probably gets most of her money by taking it from other people. That is not something he should encourage for Momo.]

I'm, um, not sure you should have most of the things she makes...

[nijistaryume]

It's not my fault I'm too young to drive and I can't rob banks. [pout] I don't even wanna rob banks. Though stealing from people who suck would be cool.

[accidentallich]

Stealing from mean rich people is very dangerous and should be done only by experts.

[nijistaryume]

Mr. Alteeeeeeeer...

[accidentallich]

You know I'm really supposed to tell you that stealing is always wrong and you should never do it.

[nijistaryume]

Yeah, I know. But it's not like people always steal for bad reasons or anything.

[accidentallich]

It's complicated in real life. If you have to steal food to live, then you should do that - surviving comes first.

[That's one of the simpler cases, really.]

Stealing from bad people... still isn't good. But it doesn't make you a bad person to do it either.

[nijistaryume]

[She makes a frustrated hum and kicks her feet a little, but nods.]

I know you worry and stuff. I promise I'm not gonna rob any mansions. Yet.

[accidentallich]

I don't want you to get hurt. -I don't want Jailbreak to get hurt either, but she's very good at what she does.

[nijistaryume]

[mrglbrgl]

What all do you think's gonna be interesting at this convention thing?

[accidentallich]

Oh! They have panels with many famous people in the industry. I would love to hear about what it was like creating some of these incredible shows...

[nijistaryume]

That does sound pretty fun if you watch a lot of TV. Do they have other stuff you can see too?

[accidentallich]

Live music! That would be exciting, I haven't been to a concert in... hundreds of years.

[nijistaryume]

That does sound fun! I haven't either, unless you count those guys who come to school assemblies and do presentations to try and get you hyped up to sell magazine subscriptions nobody wants.
