South City Anime Convention?invite BlazeDeckloHipoBulletHans

'john doe?' strange name, she apparently just wanted him to go with it. Cosplay? Not really sure on what the term meant but whatever. He looked over at the couple, with the strange man in the green costume doing poses? He just looked at those 2 more deciding it'd be easier to 'play along' as a 'government official' she said? tis a weird situation he's been put in. But if tis was needed to help prove the lady's innocence, so be it. Hmm...though considering the pictures shown he can safely assume that 'cosplay' means dressing as fictional figures. A thought crossed his mind, would they accept original cosplay's? he's not entirely sure but Maybe he can use his actual name for this event, with a fake part attached to hide the Lordroth bit. Maybe he can even play off the undead AND his accent as part of the 'cosplay'.

Quin looked at Adara. "Worry not Miss Adara." He stood up straight. "Tis humble knight is known as Sir Quin of Astora!" he boasted with a laugh, trying to play along. He turned to Adara "Though tis one will admit that tis is the first time for this humble knight to participate in tis competition. Would ye humble me with advice?" he asked still playing the role while pretending to be himself....it was a weird situation for him but the factor of costumes certainly makes it more convenient for him all the same.


(OOC: Took me awhile on this one. Hope you like it.)

As the two were about to start going off to the contest, Tadeo started sensing a few faint power levels coming to them. He stopped abruptly, and put his arm in front of Christel.
"Wait. Do you sense that?"
Christel concentrated, and sure enough, she could sense a few power levels, as well. However, since Christel was not as seasoned as Tadeo, they were even fainter and harder to sense. A somewhat shocked look appeared over her face.
"Wow, so there are other fighters here who like anime as much as you do."
Christel looked in the direction of the other power levels. While this was happening, Tadeo was cut from her field of view. Behind her back, he was grunting over and over again, as he shot Ki blasts into his chest, covering himself up as if he was throwing up or something.
"Hrng! Urng! Ack! Ugh! Hmmph! Guhh! Hng! Geh! Agh!"
"What're you doing over there? Are you trying to get a quickie in while there are other people coming our way?"
"Yeah, a quick suicide, as I shoot myself multiple times."
Quickly turning around, eyes wide, Christel confronted Tadeo.
"Are you crazy? You could get yourself hurt!"
Bloodshot eyes behind his helmet, Tadeo glared Christel in the eyes.
"That's the whole POINT!"

Fixing himself upright, facing the newcomers, Tadeo looked in their direction, completely aware of the smoke coming from his stomach, but choosing to ignore it. Christel took a few nervous glances at it, wondering how Tadeo was able to withstand it so much. She figured that they were probably weak blasts. Afterwards, she quit glancing at Tadeo's self-inflicted burn, surprised that nothing happened to the costume, and waited to greet new company. Tadeo looked at the crowd: some guy who's probably burning to death inside a knight costume, a girl cosplaying as something (maybe a vampire), and a girl with wolf parts. Tadeo had only one thing to say in his mind about this:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! FUCKING END MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Abruptly, Tadeo looked at the wolf-girl person and sighed.
"Please tell me that's not apart of your costume."
Quickly, Christel jabbed Tadeo in the stomach, right where the smoke was coming from. Immediately afterwards, the smoke went away, but Tadeo reeled a little bit from the jab.
"What the hell kinda question is that?"
"If I become a masochist after today, it's all your fault, and I'm killing myself."
"No, you aren't. You don't even know what death is like, how could you even talk about suicide like that?"
"That's where you're wrong, missy."
"WHAT'D YOU JUST CALL ME?"
"FUCK OFF! I DESERVE TO SAY THAT AFTER ALL THE SHIT YOU PUT ME THROUGH, TODAY!"
Grabbing him by the collar, Christel pulled Tadeo in closer, a menacing look on her face. She redirected her attention to the new people, with a somewhat innocent face.
"I'm sorry, my boyfriend can be a bit vulgar and such, sometimes."
"Oh, my god, you called me your boyfriend."
Her face slowly getting flustered, Christel paused for a few moments. Then, she flipped Tadeo over, throwing him to the ground, and channeled a blue-green Ki into both of her hands. Grabbing her hands quickly, Tadeo panicked a bit.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO 'NOT IN FRONT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE?' WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THAT, HUH!?"

Finally, they calmed down. Tadeo was standing still now, and Christel ended up not using a double Lucero to Tadeo's face. They weren't going to do anything rash or violent, anymore. Well, Christel wasn't. Tadeo...maybe. Taking his helmet off and running his fingers through his hair, Tadeo looked at the new crowd in front of him. Christel started getting suspicious of one of the characters, though: the one with wolf parts.
"Ya know, and I'm sorry to say this, but you look very familiar. Did you work in government or politics at any point in time?"
"Ya know, now that you mention it, she does kinda look familiar."
"You don't even like politics, and you never got to meet any other government workers, other than me."
"Not what I'm referring to."
Tadeo walked around the wolf girl, studying her. Christel started getting a little jealous, but then saw the seriousness in Tadeo's eyes. He wasn't checking her out; he was trying to figure something out. Christel's jealously quickly faded away, and her curiosity turned into somewhat concern. Tadeo chuckled, stopping in front of the wolf girl again. He thought he'd figured it out.
"Just a suspicion, but first off, I'm not Human. I mean, she isn't Human anymore, either, but that's a different story than mine. I can kinda feel when one of my kind is around me, and I'm getting a similar vibe from you."
Tadeo paused, backing up a bit to Christel, but still examining the wolf girl. His attention was suddenly interrupted by the girl in the vampire-looking costume, and he chuckled again.
"No way. Are you two Saiyans?"

Quin stared at Tadeo and his girlfriend, noticing how Tadeo self-injured himself. He wondered just what the hell a Saiyan was, maybe it was part of their daily ritual to harm themselves? But then, Skylar never did so. It was curious. He watched as Tadeo asked Skylar a question...then heard chatter about Suicide? Tis world is strange to have people wanting to kill themselves over something so non-threatening as this. He was thinking about what to say to dissuade the man but was cut off by the man's lady friend making the man submit and stop thinking along those lines. Then the girl asked if Skylar was into politics. The Strange question really, but then he remembers the whole 'imposter' thing That demonic creature told them about. He looked at Tadeo watching Skylar and considering her to be a Saiyan. So, he decided to ask a genuine question while at the same time pretending to 'roleplay' it out.

"Pardon me, but this one must ask, What is a Saiyan?" he asked curiously after seeing Adara call herself a Saiyan halfbreed. He decided to let Skylar settle the political issue.

Tadeo was surprised to know that one of the people there were Saiyans. He didn't think there was much of his kind left. The girl with wolf parts, however, denied being a Saiyan. While it was kinda understandable, since Saiyans usually grow ape parts, and not wolf parts, Tadeo couldn't shake the feeling that she still seemed like a Saiyan. Tadeo's already met his fair share of Saiyans already, and he just felt like this girl could be a Saiyan, or maybe she's hiding it. Either way, he was determined to get to the bottom of it, someday. And for some reason, that innocent smile kinda ticked Tadeo off, almost as if it was mocking him. He would've done something about it, but he knew better than to voice his opinion like that. Tadeo began again, to explain to these heathens what a Saiyan was.
"Saiyans are aliens that look a lot like Humans, and in more than one way, we are like Humans. We can speak, walk, and even move like Humans, but there are a few things I learned that are different. Each Saiyan is born with a tail, and that tail lets them into a giant King Kong with a tail whenever there's a full moon that doesn't have any control over itself and who's one goal is to eat and destroy everything before the sun comes up or before someone rips off it's tail. Another thing, we can transform into what we call Super Saiyans, which is pretty neat. I can show-"
Christel cleared her throat.
"Let's leave that for later."
"Oh, right, 'cuz too much attention will be brought. As if we hadn't brought enough."
"You started it."
"I'm not denying that."

"Anyway, the last thing I heard about Saiyans is that pregnancy is pretty different. Apparently, when Saiyans get pregnant, their womb is supposed to be extremely huge for some reason. Like, take a Human's pregnant belly and multiply it by ten or something."
Christel's eyes widened and she looked at her stomach, caressing it a bit and breaking a bit of a sweat. Tadeo chuckled, not even looking at her, though.
"But, that only happens to Saiyan women, so...I feel really bad for you. I mean, I should probably stop talking, right now."
Christel sighed in relief after hearing that, and Tadeo was directing it to the girl dressed as a vampire, but he glanced at both the wolf girl and the vampire girl. He was still suspicious that the wolf girl was a Saiyan.
"Anyway, we should probably get going to that costume contest, Tadeo. You guys coming with?"
"Oh, great, it's time for me to embarrass myself for the sake of anima."
"It's anime."
"I really don't care. I'm doing it, and that's a problem."
Tadeo started walking in the direction of the crowd, which was on their way to the contest. Christel motioned for the others to follow her and Tadeo.

Catching up to Tadeo, she became a little more curious as to why Tadeo hated anime. So, she asked him
"Okay, so what's with your grudge against anime? What'd it ever do to you?"
"Anime didn't bring my family back, did it?"
"Okay, I definitely know that's not the reason why."
"Do you, now?"
"Tadeo, seriously, what do you have against all this stuff? It's like any other fandom, just a lot more cringy whenever someone mentions it in public."
Tadeo started having Vietnam PTSD flashbacks to his past, some of which that can't be mentioned in this post, as it is very graphic and involves a lotta people dying, gruesomely. So, we're gonna skip all that. Tadeo looked at Christel with almost blank eyes.
"We'll talk about that another time, okay, sweetie?"
"Tadeo, you're scaring me."
"So, you DO feel fear."
"Tadeo, please stop."
Tadeo dropped his head and shook it, deciding the game was over. He sighed.
"It has to do with my past. And I know it sounds stupid and everything, but my first love and I used to be into this stuff. I won't get into it now, but I've been trying to distance myself from the stuff of the past. This is one of those things."
Christel took a minute to take it all in. She was indeed curious about what happened, especially with the bitch who was his first love.
WHO THE FUCK IS THIS "FIRST LOVE" BITCH!? ONLY I CAN LOVE YOU! ONLY YOU CAN LOVE ME! WHO THE FUCK IS THIS BI-
"Oh, all right. I understand, but you better tell me later on."
"Yeah. I will."
Tadeo thought nothing of it from that point onward. He put his helmet back over his head and continued walking. Passing by a horrible cosplayer, he picked at him behind his back.
"That guy's costume is shit, though."
"Yeah, it actually is."
