[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?

Oh, well - I play mostly indie games? Undertale, Slay the Princess, In Stars And Time... I think it's incredible what lone creators or small groups are able to make, not beholden to the demands of a profit-driven studio.

Most of the ships I like are canon ones... I'm a little boring, sorry.

Me furiously googling when OFF was released because you KNOW this girl ships Batterie (2008 ftr)

[Harumi is from, fuckin, the mid-2000s or some shit and also not a huge gamer, so she doesn’t recognize these titles, but she likes the names.]

Hey, nothing wrong with a canon ship if it’s a good one! But indie games, huh…? [She taps her chin] You ever play OFF? I’m usually more of an anime girl but I did a small book for it a few years back that was pretty popular.

honestly same tho

Oh, a classic! The soundtrack was incredible. -You do artbooks?

[brb_comiket]

Mm, more manga than static artbooks, but yeah. Man, if you wanna talk about the power of small creators, the doujin scene is incredible! Art, fic, music, games, merch, even full anime! It’s the best!

[She sounds pretty pumped up about it.]

[accidentallich]

Even more impressive! Nu, are you selling anything here? I'd love to read some of your work.
