"So Did you get the latest volume yet?" the voice came through the speakers of the girl's headphones as she sat in her room... A mixed array of noises came from all around, making it quite a busy seeming place as she sat there talking to her friend with the low hum of her white and red sewing machine atached the pieces of purple fabric together...
"Ya, I went to the bookstore yesterday! You'd better hurry! theres only one left! or well.. there was once I got mine anyways..." the girl paused on her project for a moment as she rummaged through a bin of material... the room was rather small, and lacked any windows as it was in the far corer of the basement... The fact that it was under the stairs had given it the nicname of "The Harry Potter" Cupboard... but after a few days were taken to tear down the built in shelving so that the room was of a livable size, it had become hers... She did much prefer it over her previous one, as she had been sharing a room with her older sister, and well... that wasnt the most fun place to be... now was it?
"Seriously? Ah, I'll just borrow your's... kay? Just bring it to school on tuesday! If you're done I mean..." Chelsea replied happily as she snapped a piece of pocky, the sounds of one of her favorite shows could be heard through the background on the computer.
"Ya, fine... I'll bring it, and dont forget to finish you're costume! I've got my Alice one done and now Im just working on my Original one! I'll be finished it tonight!" Emma replied happily as she took out her a purple ribbon and started to work on a choker style necklace, attaching a large silver cat bell to it that looked like it came off of a christmas tree. ( Which it actualy did last christmas... SHHH dont tell, kay?) What she had finished just before was a dress like outfit, mostly purple, that consisted of a lolita-esque strappless top the at the waist was belted and split like the dresses most children drew on princesses when they were younger. beneath that, was a pleated white skirt, and along the edges of both the top layer and the skirt were symbols... and since the theme of it was suposed to match an Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe, these sybols were the ones you would see in a deck of cards... Ace, Diamond, Heart, Spades... all of 'em. All she had to do now was find the black leggins that she hemed to her knee... Now where did they go?
"Can you finish mine for me? Pleeeaaasssee? I'll end up looking like i've been through a gunfight wth like, Peter... Though I dont thinl peter would shoot an outsider..." Chelsea said going into thought as her friend scurried around her room, going through boxes, Dresser drawrs, and finaly ending up rummaging through her closet before finding them. "Hey, do you think Peter would shoot an outsider?" Chelsea asked after a moment of silence. Though Chelsea didnt honestly care about the white Rabbit character. She much prefered the March hare... Well, it fit. she could act a bit Crazy at times, and well, that was just Chelsea!
"I dont have time to Make yours for you! Umm, get your grandma to help, or I dont know..." Emma sighed as she started to put things away, "and Peter? He'd shoot anythng and anyone! That guys nuts! all you'd have to do is get in the way of him and Alice and he'll pull a gun on ya!" Emma laughed thinking about all of the gun fights that had popped up so far in the manga... She wasnt a violent girl herself, but something about gun crazy bishies made her laugh... She herself could never hurt a fly... or well, maybe a fly, but nothing bigger.
"Emmmmaaaaaaaaa..." Chelsea whined, "Fiiiinnne..." she said with a sigh, knowing that her friend did have other things on her hands to finish, such as scripts and things of the likes, as well as training Jay on how to use the camera since she refused to be in the actual video on acount of not wanting to look goofy in whatever cosplay Emma would have designed for her... that and Jay had never read Heart no kuni no Alice, so well... Having someone in a cosplay skit who knows nothing about the manga wasnt exactly the best idea.
"Oh! and Ginas flying in from DC tomarow! Shes playing our Elliot for the skit!" Emma said cheerfully, for the next week her friend gina whom she met through an online roleplaying site (ya, not the best place to meet someone, but hey! once you've been talkign to someone for like, five years, even through video calling, you do tend to trust them) "And before you ask, YES she made her own costume. now suck it up and find your sewing machine!" Emma said before realizing there was a beep comming through the phone... "Oh! I've got another call coming through Chelsea! I'll talk to ya later!" she said quickly before her friend said goodbye and she clicked the red 'end Call' button on the screen before answering the other call that was waiting.
It was Gina, who aparently was getting ready for her flight to canada, and wanted to know what to pack..."Yo dude, its canada, so Im gonna need like, my Winter coat, right?" was the verry first thing to come out of the girls mouth and through the computer. all that could be heard now was the sound of the Canadian girl's laughter, and the american's confuzion with her reaction...
"Gina, if you wear a winter coat in this heat, you'll boil over within five minutes of being outside..." Emma said calming down a little from her laughter. "Its not THAT cold here... actualy... its been realy hot lately..." Though that could have been becasue it was almost the end of may. it may have been Canada, but that didnt mean they didnt get heat. in fact, there were days she couldnt stand to wear anything but a t-shirt and a pair of shorts... "Trust me, just pack your cosplay, and whatever you wear in the summer..." Emma said through the microphone befor cutting the converation short. "Uhh, I'll talk to ya later, kay? I've gotta go see if my wig and Contacts are here yet!" and with anothe fast click of her computer mouse, the girl dashed on out of her room, leaving the music on as well as the light by accident... and so came another day in the life of the average canadian otaku before an anime convention...
