Con Horror!

Today, I woke up at 7 A.M., and had a bowl of cereal. "Why so early?" you ask… Well, I'll get to that later. So, then, I had to catch the bus to… Ah, didn't I mention that I had a care in an earlier post? I do, but, today, Lithuania left a note on the counter saying that he was taking my car out "for a drive so he could clear out his mind". I guess he's still upset about the America and Belarus thing… His country has the highest suicide rate, so I hope he didn't intentionally drive off a cliff with it or something D: .

Anyways, so, I got on the bus, and I stood for the whole ride since I wasn't sure if I should sit in the front (closer to the door) or the back (more comfortable). Oh, right, I have to tell you where I was going, and why I was going there first. Remember when I wrote yesterday that Taiwan invited me over to watch a "late-night movie"? It turned out that her brother, Japan was hosting a viewing of "One Piece: Strong World", in order to prepare for a big convention with his anime buddies that's happening today. After learning that, I wasn't going to stay, but Taiwan insisted that she wanted "male company". I said pointed out that Japan, South Korea (not always on the best terms with Japan, but loves conventions), England (looking to strengthen economic ties with Japan), and America (resident weeaboo) are all male, but she gave me that adorable "moe-moe" puppy-dog eyes look, complete with *~sparkles~* (which I always thought was MY specialty! It's nice to know that we have things in common, though). I ended up sticking it out.

The movie itself was pretty good, but it was hard to enjoy it, or do the "pretend to yawn/stretch and put arm around girlfriend" move to Taiwan with South Korea making a VERY vocal commentary on everything ("The only two things in that make this movie watchable are Nico Robin's br—," which lead to Taiwan angrily punching him), and England and America arguing over whose fault it was that Liechtenstein sat on Busby's chair.

Anyways, today, I had to go to the convention with them. We were doing a One Piece group cosplay, with the exception of South Korea, who did not like the show. I was stuck as Usopp, the long-nosed dweeby guy, even though I would have rather been Ace (Luffy's constantly shirtless brother). I tried on the Ace cosplay that Japan has in his "Neverending Closet of Cosplay Items", which is right next to "The Gallery of Ukiyo-e beauties" and "The Hall of Useless and Overly High-Tech Items". I really would've wanted to see the latter *sigh*. Anyways, everyone (even Taiwan T^T) seemed to look rather disappointed by my cosplay. I think that wig doesn't look good on me. America was supposed to be Franky (hamburger-eating cyborg), but he got into a whiny fit about wanting to be "the hero", but, everyone else agreed that Japan should be Luffy (the main character). Japan suggested that he could be Ace, but that wasn't good enough for America, who ended up grabbing a Naruto headband and cat ears, then storming out of the house, proclaiming that he would go alone.

We safely got to the convention (Japan was driving), and luckily, we all had pre-ordered tickets. My ticket was supposed to be for America, but since he abandoned us, he probably had to wait in line for a few hours. I should thank him some time not leaving me ticketless XD. The first thing we did was the "One Piece photoshoot". South Korea was confused by the fact that a girl was dressed as Okama!Sanji, which I later learnt meant that she was a girl dressed as a guy dressed as a girl.

Afterwards, Japan and England wanted to go attend some "Ages 18+" panel. The rest of us couldn't go, due to not being physically older than eighteen, so we all agreed to meet back at the giant poster of Haruhi Suzumiya. I don't care for that kind of perverted stuff, despite having the most internet freedom in my country, but South Korea seemed a bit disappointed. Fortunately, we then came across a K-pop karaoke station, and immediately, South Korea cheered up, loudly proclaiming that "THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S TRULY INVENTED IN KOREA!"

Taiwan and I left South Korea to enjoy that with a bunch of squealing teenage girls. We were about to head to the Artist's Alley, when I felt the force of somebody tackle-glomping me, shouting "ESTONIAAAAAAA~!" Much to my surprise, I saw what appeared to be a kind of cute young girl cosplaying in what appeared to be some sort of Lolita dress, with fake breasts and a blue and pink wig. Taiwan seemed rather irritated, and I told her that I had no idea who the girl was. The girl then told me that she was Finland. Yep, that girl was Finland in drag (well, cosplaying as someone named "Stocking", actually, I later learned).

He said that he had escaped from jail with Sweden, who was also at the convention, wearing a sparkly afro wig and roller blades. I asked Finland why he's hiding at an anime convention of all places, and he said it was because "England would never come to here". I warned him that England was here, and he started to worry. Then, Taiwan tried to make him feel better by praising his cosplay (which he found for free, outside somebody's doorstep), which was "very convincing". But then she asked him if his hips were fake too, and apparently, they weren't. So Finland started raging and being all like "No (various Finnish cuss words) tells me that my hips are feminine and gets away with it!" Taiwan tried to apologize, saying that the only reason she asked that was because "Thailand sometimes uses those when he cross-dresses." I appreciated her attempt to remedy the situation, but I didn't think bringing up Thailand's secret hobby (if he even actually does that) was going to help.

It didn't, because, just at that moment, Sweden and Denmark (cosplaying as Len Kagamine, without a wig) came up to us. Sweden asked Finland what was wrong, and after Finland's very wrath-filled explanation of the "debacle", Sweden told Taiwan that his "w'f 's v'ry s'ns't've 'bt h'r s'lf 'mge" (approximate translation: his "wife is very sensitive about her self image.") Having a scary-looking man with a glittery afro and roller blades grunt at you about hurting his "wife's" feelings could probably cause someone to go to therapy for seven years. Poor Taiwan quietly excused herself, with an expression on her face that indicated a combination of embarrassment and horror, and ran off to the K-pop thing where South Korea was. Denmark was laughing hysterically the whole time, even though I pretty sure that a lot of people were laughing hysterically at a six-feet tall, twenty-something year old man dressed as a five-feet-two fourteen-year old boy.

I was going to follow Taiwan, but then Finland informed me that there was going to be a "Waifu-carrying race", and the prize was a "year's supply of Pocky/Mikado/Rocky." Finland said that he was the best "wife carrier" in his whole country (cue random Ash cosplayer popping out of nowhere, singing "but I'm the best… THAT NO ONE EVERY WAS!" No, seriously, that happened.) I pointed out that despite the fact that he's much stronger than he appears, it would be difficult for him to run in that dress. Sweden offered to carry Finland; however, he was wearing rollerblades, and didn't have any other shoes, so that would probably cause him to get disqualified. I'm pretty good at wife-carrying, heck, even better than Finland :P. So, I offered to carry him. Denmark wanted to carry Sweden, and Sweden gave him a look similar to the look that Taiwan gave him earlier.

I bought a packet of gum, because I like to chew gum when I'm in a contest, since I think it brings me luck. It was Octopus-flavoured, but it was the only gum I could find in the convention (it's hard to leave and get back in again :/). Anyways, while I was heading to the race, I bumped into America. He was still wearing the Naruto headband, and cat ears, though now, he had badly painted whiskers on his face. Then, he said to me: "SUGOI~ESTI-CHAN, YOU'RE SUCH A KAWAII BISHONEN USOPPHIME~DESU~NYAAAA!" I kind of looked at America in bewilderment, as people do when someone says something they don't understand. He followed up with "Oh, I'm practicing my Japanese. It's pretty good, don't ya think?" I have no idea what that means, but I have a feeling that Japan would have cried and/or raged if he heard that. Well, Japan's "raging" is more like "pokerfacing", but I think you get what I mean.

Thankfully, I managed to get to the race unscathed, even though it was on the other side of the con. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that Usopp has virtually no fangirls. England and Japan (a.k.a. Zoro and Luffy) probably had to suffer the "passion" of a few of them, though XD. Finland and I were doing pretty well, until I got knocked over by a middle-aged man with an oddly surprised looking expression. This caused me to swallow and choke on my gum, which lead me to fall suddenly to the ground, which in turn, made me go unconscious. Great, that was the second time this week that I've fainted… it makes me feel like Tintin T^T.

What was probably a few hours later, I woke up in a hospital room with my laptop on the bed-table beside me. Attached to it was a little note that said "I think you would probably die without this, ESTONIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! – Latvia" It's nice that he came to visit, but I feel a bit bad that I wasn't awake, or else I could've thanked him properly. Okay, and asked him if he and Sealand used it to watch inappropriate movies. The answer would of course had been "no", but then I could check the internet history and see if he's telling the truth, because unlike me, Latvia NEVER clears his browser history. Oh well, at least he's lucky enough to not be present while I embarrass him.

Also, Taiwan came to visit me! She informed me that:

1. Finland felt bad that he ruined "my first convention experience" for me, and in order to make it up to me, he bought me a raffle ticket, where the prize is being a judge at a "world-renowned beauty pageant". I'm guessing the ticket was probably about one American dollar, but I suppose the thought that went into it is what counts. So lucky for you, Finland, this is now not going to go on "Weaboostories".

2. Taiwan met Hungary while walking around the "Artists' Alley", and learned of the whole "writing a manga" plan. She said that she never knew that I could draw, and that she really wants to see me write a manga, so that way Japan wouldn't be as against the idea of us dating.

3. Sweden and Finland got arrested by England again, on the count of "inappropriate public behaviour" (rumoured to somehow be related to the "Caramelldansen"), and Norway refuses to bale them out of it, since they are a "bad influence on his adorable little brother". Japan was rather surprised that neither Denmark, America nor South Korea was arrested.

4. Sealand is still staying at my house, as are Lithuania (he's alive, thank goodness) and Latvia. Yeah, the two other Baltic nations have their own houses; they just think mine is the coziest.

5. For some good news, I'm going to be released from the hospital tomorrow, because according to the doctors, I am fine, and they need to worry about things that are much more serious than a teenage boy swallowing his gum. (Most people don't know that I'm actually the anthropomorphic representation of a country XD).

Anyways, I'm not going to another convention for a long time.

(A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates, guys! I was pretty busy these past few weeks! Hopefully I'll make it up to you with this nice, long chapter. My chapters vary a lot in length, but I think that makes it more like a blog, what do you think? Also, if you are confused and/or offended by something, feel free to politely ask me about it! But then again, since this is a crack fic, I'm not sure if I'll be able to give you a good answer XD.)
