Well now it's day two of the con here in the story. Hope you all like it and thanks for being so patient. Also does anyone have any ideas about what I could have happen between the Guardians and Keepers in the few chapters I'll have between the con ending and Halloween? I've tried to think but come up with squat. Anyway, enjoy!
The following morning everyone groggily gathered around the dinning table. Last night, while Jackson, Dianna, Jack, and Toothiana were out, the remainder of the group had gone out to buy some groceries. So, when she woke up, Dianna set to work to make something for everyone to eat.
"Where are Vahness and Pitch?" Jack asked, stifling a yawn as he looked around. "The two of them probably went out for a late night on the town." The Halloween spirit answered, drinking his coffee. " They did that the last time we dragged Kosmotis to a Con, both waltz through all giggle and in high spirits."
Bunny snickered at that. " I still think it's weird that they get along. Love and Fear don't really go together." He stated. "There's always the Fear of Love. I think it's that makes Vahness-chan and I relation with him healthy." Shiro spoke. "Plus I think they had a thing for each other a few centuries ago."
Sandy partially choked on his bacon. "Whoa little guy, I think your news shocked him Shiro." Jackson said, patting the dreammaker on the back. "Well where ever they are they better get back soon. They need to eat, plus Kosmotis need to take this." Dianna said, holding up a little bottle. "Here you go Nicolas. It already has your potion in."
As if on cue the door opened, Pitch and Vahness walked in re-dressed in their soul eater outfits. "Where did you two disappear off to?" Dianna asked, looking a little like an irritated mother. "We rode through the town, terrorized the civilians." Vahness responded, taking her wig off and taking a seat.
"We came back an hour ago, but you guys were still sleeping. So we dressed up, not completely, and headed down to the Con. Caught an early panel and just walked around. Oh the photo shoot has been moved to the front of the building." She retold. "More like you made me go with you." Pitch muttered.
"You weren't complaining, especially when we got stopped to take a photo" The other three Keepers smirked/chuckled while the Nightmare King just rolled his eyes.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The group turned to the window to see one of Vahness' birds, not Hermes, tapping at the window. "Ah, finally, I was wondering when he'd get here." Jackson said, getting up to unlock the window. "I'm borrowing Zeus for the day V" He said, the little bird flew in and landed on his owners shoulder.
"Γεια σου γλυκιά μου(Hello sweetie.) .I thought you were going to have Narcissus be your bird for the day?" Vahness ask, scratching her bird under the chin. "I was but he was busy staring into his water dish." The Irishman stated. Dianna set down some more food. "Well everyone just hurry up and finish eating. Ana, I need you to get dressed as soon as possible; there's a lot to do for yours."
Almost two hours later, everyone was dressed and heading to the convention all for the photo shoot.
"If you keep staring at me like that, Jack, I'm going to end up pregnant." Jackson stated, brushing some of the white wig hair from his eyes. Zeus, who was was dressed in a yellow customize bird hoodie, twittered. " Sorry, it's just spooky how much you look like me, only difference is the red eyes."
"Or maybe my Awesomeness is too enthralling." Jack rolled his eyes and fixed the bomber jacket and glasses. " Please, I'm too Heroic for that."
Behind them Dianna followed with Toothiana. " I think I out did myself with your eye make up, it looks just like your feathers." Toothiana blushed a little and looked down at her hands. "This henna design is so intricate, how is it Shiro managed to make this with out mistakes?"
"It's part of her talent." Dianna stated, spinning a frying pan in her hand.
Following behind the girls, were Bunny, Sandy, and Pitch. The short Dreammaker was fidgeting with the dark robes he was wearing, plus keeping his hair slicked back and the hat on his head. "Why does my character have to be related to yours and his!" Bunny irritably asked, glancing to the Nightmare King and Halloween spirit.
"Is that how you speak to your elders." Pitch asked, brushing some of the Blond wig hair back. "At least you don't have to pose with Him." He stated, pointing behind.
Wrapping up the group was a very young North, with Vahness and Shiro at his sides. "I feel weird with out my mustache, and my beard is so short, and these contacts are itchy." He said, rubbing his eye. "Don't do that do that! We can't have a great empire like you get an eye infection!" Shiro fretted, keeping the man from rubbing his eye.
"And what is with these curls, I never found out what they were?" North added, poking the curls coming out of the girls' wigs. "Don't touch that!" Vahness shouted, jumping away. "Sorry staying in character. " She quickly said. "North-san, they are.." Shiro lent up and whispered in his ear.
"Oh.." He said, feeling awkward. "But don't worry about that. All you gotta do is talk about all your conquest, pretty women, your grandsons." Vahness stated.
Everyone finally reached the front of the convention hall, a large group of people dressed just like them gathered on the patch of grass. "Let's hurry, it's starting." Jackson stated, hurrying up into the group. From the group, two girls, one dressed in a red Mountie outfit and the other dressed in a toga like North, too the center.
"Attention everyone, we are about to start the photo shoot." The one in the Mountie outfit spoke into a mega phone, a few shouts of "Who are you?" heard as she spoke."We will start off with individual photo's in alphabetical order, then move on to pairs, then group, and finally group photos." She explained, passing the mega phone to her friend.
"We'll start off with A. Can we get all the Americas" The other person said, moving back into the crowd as people hurried up. "Go on Jack, it's you! Just look heroic, take center stage if you want!" The Keepers cheered on the winter teen as he moved though the crowd and posed up with the other Americas.
"Three, Two, One, and Thank you. Next, can we get the Austrias?"
Jack returned from. " Is that all I get?" He asked, feeling a little disappointed. "Of course not, When they start pairings you'll get so much more." Dianna told him. After a few minutes they called out for the "G"s
"Can we have the Germanys and any Germanias to the front."
"Let's get this over with." Pitch said, making his way to the front. The two kept as far away as possible from each other, two other Germanys joining them. "Three, two, One alright thank you." They moved back to the others, a few cosplayers whispering about them.
"Alright let's have the Italys now! That's both North and South."The girl, who was a Canada cosplayer, called out. Both Shiro and Vahness made their way to the front, the Japanese girl pulling her friend. Vahness posed with her arms crossed, giving a smirk, while Shiro draped an arm around her and giving a big smile.
"Three, two, one, thank you very much"
"Get off me!" Vahness snapped as Shiro just waved it off, leading her friend back, before the two laughed. "Alright now can we have Hu-" Dianna had tapped the Canada on the shoulder, telling her something. "I see. Well folks it seems we have an OC fem India with us today!"
Several "oooo"s went through the group. "Go on Ana." The Hispanic woman encouraged. The Fairy Queen took a deep breath and walked out to the clearing. Several people gasped and squealed at how lovely she looked.
Toothiana was dressed in a Sari of green and blue with a magenta purple blouse underneath. A good number of bangles covered her wrist, as well as a henna design made by Shiro. Her eye make up as a beautiful blend of her normal feather colors. Starting off with blue and merging into a blue green, then apple green with finally gold at the inner corner of her eyes.
"Three, two, one, thank you very much. Now on to Hungary!" Toothiana stepped down, Dianna giving her a thumbs up as she walked up to join the other Hungarys. "Oh I felt so nervous just now!." Toothiana blushed returning back. "I couldn't tell. You looked great out there." Jack said, smiling.
"Alright before we move on, do we have any Holy Romes?"
Sandy perked up, making his way out to the front. Some of the girls squealing. There was another Holy Rome, that just happen to pass by, there so the two of them stood back to back, the height difference quite obvious.
"Now, will all the Prussia's please come up.
"Step aside losers."Jackson announced, parting the crowd with his awesomeness, and placing his pirate hat on. Jack watched as there were a whole bunch of Prussias crowded together, Jackson claiming the front by lying on the grass and winking at cameras.
"Thank you, Germanys come take your brother, and let's move on to Rome." The Canada called out, her friend moving to the front. "Go on Nonno." Shiro chuckled. The Russian reached the center. "Man I am one handsome Empire!" The other Rome said, the two of them laughing before posing together. "Three,two, one, thank you!"
After they finished the individual photos they moved onto pairings.
(Sorry for cutting in but I'm gonna shorten the rest of this photo shoot. Sure I said these chaps for the con are long, but I don't wanna just talk about the shoot. I'm sure people have seen/ been part of them so you guys can picture what they're like. I'm only gonna write the pairing shoots and you guys can picture what the group shoots are like, K, on ward!)
Gerita
"Alright can we have all the Italy and Germanys, that want to participate, come up now?" The Canada cosplayer asked.
Jackson and Dianna pushed Bunny and Shiro into the group. "You stay away from my Fratello, Macho Potato!" Vahness shouted from the side, a soft "Lovi~" heard from the crowd. Shiro was internally panicking but she knew what she wanted to do. "Ve, Germany!"
Bunny turned to catch Shiro as she leapt into his arm, a few "awww"s coming from the crowd.
Germania and Rome
"Can we get Rome and Germania out here?"
Pitch and North walked out to the center. "What exactly are we going to pose like?" North asked, once they joined the other Rome. "Like this." Pitch/Germania took the middle and made it look like he was pushing both Romes away. "Come on Ger, I thought we had something!" The other Rome cosplayer stated.
"Three,two, one, Thank you!"
HRE and ChibiTalia
"Now this is Holy Rome and ChibiTalia. Can you guys pleas come up?"
Sandy moved up with the other Holy Rome and three other Chibitalias.
"He's mine!"
"No! He's mine!"
Two of the Chibitalia had a faux fight over Sandy while the other Chibitalia and Her Holy Rome held hands and looked into each others eyes.
"Three, two, one, Thank you!"
PruHun
"Now can we get Prussia and Hungary up here!"
Jackson and Dianna walked to the front, taking semi center. All the other PruHun cosplayers posed in cool or mid-wack-with-a-frying pan Pose. As the Halloween spirit was distracted, Dianna grabbed him by the front of the shirt and pulled him into a full blown kiss.
"D-Did they just!" Jack stuttered, speaking for the other guardians. "You mean you guys couldn't tell?" Shiro asked, snapping a photo. "Wow you guys are blinder than me."
SpaMano
"Now may we get the Spains and South Italys?"
Shiro had known this pair was next, so she had found a Spain and asked them if they could help out. "Sure no problem." They agreed and walked over. " Hi!, Come on Lovi let's get in the photo!" He(She) said, getting into character. "Don't pull me you Bastard!" Vahness snapped, letting herself be guided by the cosplayer.
"Hey thanks for helping me." She whispered.
"No problem, always good to help a fellow cosplayer. Now pose Lovi." The Spain said, putting an arm around Vahness' shoulder. " Don't tell me what to do." She said, warping her own arms around the others cosplayer's neck and giving the "Mine" look. Sandy couldn't help fell a little ping of jealousy.
"Alright, three, two, one, Thank you!"
After the pairings, the groups took photos before the photo shoot was declared over. "Man I'm even more worn out today than yesterday." Bunny commented. "Come on Bunny, don't be an old man!" North laughed. "You wouldn't be complaining if you were your age! And who you calling old man!"
A fem Japan cosplayer approached Jack and Toothiana, tapping them on the shoulder. "Uh do you think I could get a photo of the two of you?" She asked, holding her camera. "Sure." Jack said, fixing the glasses and putting an arm around Toothiana. The fairy blushed a little and lent in a little, resting her head on Jack's shoulder. "Thank you both so much."
They waved as she walked back to her friends. "Well my group! Let go do some shopping for an hour or so. We can catch a panel or chill some place to just waste time till tonights rave." Jackson said, arm on Dianna's shoulder. Everyone agreed and headed towards the large building.
Well that then end for them being at the con for that day. Yeah they'll be back at the convention hall in the next chap but I'll leave it up to you guys to picture how they spent their daylight hours. Adieu my lovelies, till next time~
