Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mikael pulled his outfit guide prompt from the hat and found that he was going to have to try and dress as a convention goer. He’d never been to a con before but he’d learned what one was and all about them from the sun hunters he’d talked to while chatting at lunch, breakfast and dinner. In his opinion the whole concept sounded like a lot of fun and he was excited about dressing up as if he was going to one. Making his way to the pile of provided outfits he fished around thoughtfully until he found the perfect outfit. Buried in the depths of a pile was an old Pikachu outfit, probably pilfered from Allan’s stash. Pulling it on he beamed with satisfaction and bounced to test the bounce of the tail. Still it wasn’t enough on its own and he complimented the look with a lanyard with a little paper pass in it and painted two red circles on his cheeks.

“Think this looks okay?” he asked Malkam brightly.

To the rest of the room he said “My name is now David, I love pokemon! A rarely known fact about me is that I am scared of heights!”

Rummaging around the box of white paper Cami pulled out her assignment and almost fell over laughing at what she pulled out. "Oh my Goooooddddd..." With giggles wracking her frame the teenager shoved herself into the rack of clothing and rummaged around vigorously until she found precisely what she was looking for.

It took a few minutes to find the other half to the cheerleader costume and even more time to wiggle into it without flashing half the room. Caroline, after all, had been Very Specific about how there were people (Lawrence, specifically, if she were being honest) out there who wanted to do Inappropriate Things with young girls like her.

But when she emerged from the rack the casually-dressed teenager was now a sassy, perky, too-good-for-anything cheerleader. Her hair was done up in pigtails that bounced on either side of her head as she walked, hip jutting out as she scoffed. "Like, really? You all know who I am. I'm only the most popular girl here!" Eyes rolled dramatically. But I'm Vanessa." Not a lie, entirely. It was her middle name. "A little known fact about me? Pft. As if I'd tell you!"

The look she gave both Mikhail and Malkam was full of disdain before she softened. "Mikhail you look really cute in that Pikachu costume. You should make sure to take a picture!"

Melvin roll - Soccer mom/overbearing dad

Melvin waited till introductions were done before rising. "I'm Melvin Wood. I work in the Runic Department. I think dolphins are assholes."

It wasn't something stellar to give away as information, and he wasn't exactly in the mood to be sharing anything personal these days.

When it was time to choose, he came to the box and pulled out a little piece of paper. The words "soccer mom/overbearing dad" made his lip twitch in amusement. He'd seen enough during swim meets to know the type.

So he went to impersonate a father he knew. Jake Gilmer had a dad that was just the worst. He looked at the clothes and was about to put them on when he frowned. Clothes people shared.

Nope.

So Melvin opted out of wearing any different clothes. With the sunglasses, he felt he looked enough like a douche.

"I'm Mr. Gilmer. You can call me Paul. I work at Sanford Construction near Rout 13 near the closed Home Depot. The only reason we're winning this year is because my boy is ignoring the coach. Maybe this year you guys will get your head out of your asses and pick someone good."

He wasn't really sure what he pulled out and scratched his brow as he thought about it before just grabbed a green jacket and a beret and tried to fish out a peace pin to put on there. Was this hippie vegan or those assholes who didn't leave Starbucks?

He went for a little of both.

"Okay so I'm like - Hans. Everything I own is hemp. I was straight up made at some Woodstock knockoff like some Phish concert. Anyone who drinks milk just supporting people who are down with murdering everything."
