OOC: Equivalent Exchange--Can Take one More for Psiren

[Raylis]

just a waitin' to see what happens next

Stonegod, Al is asking Laura if there is anything she wants to research that he could maybe get ahold of for her, hench the whispering. He's feeling guilty about dragging her all over the place when she clearly has something else she wants to do.

Whoa, tripple post. Is everyone ok? Has everyone else lost interest in the game? What's goin' on?

No problem here, just waiting until Elysia and Rose reach Sciezka’s office... though I'll make a small talk post now while I wait.

So, a funny story. Last weekend, we had the 3rd anual Kawaii Kon here in Honolulu. First Con I've ever been to, and I only got to go on the last day. I completely missed Steve Blum, Chris Sabot was in the hospital for most of it with food poisoning, and didn't get there until the closing ceremony. I did get to talk to Jennefer Sekiguchi (aka Stefenie Sheh) and also Mike Sinterniklass (go team venture!) Oh right, there was supposed to be a funny story. Well let's see, Vic Mignogna told a story about how he had wanted to meet Romi Paku for a long time and when he found out that she was coming to a con of the mainland that he was also going to he bought a fancy cowboy hat as a gift. When he got there though he found out that she had been stopped at the airport because her exit visa had expired. People are saying on the message board that we gotta get Vic and Romi both as guests next year, though I doubt there's any question that Vic will be there since he seems to be the most popular guest.

Also, I met Christine Auten (voice of Izumi Curtis) and had a conversation something along the lines of "You play psyco lady right?" "I play allot of psyco ladies. Which one?" "Er, psyco teacher, from FMA... Izumi." "Yeah, I played her." "So, I've been playing this RPG, you know, play by post, on an internet forum. It's based on FMA, after the series, but it's different from the movie. Er... actually I don't know why I'm telling you this because your character hasn't appeared in it." Yep, I'm an idiot. I'm just glad I didn't get a chance to talk to Luci Christian because I know I would have said something like "So I've been playing this FMA roleplaying game, and one of the characters the GM wanted to use was Psiren, but no one wanted to play her."

I think Luci Christian would just be impressed that you even remembered the cameo role she played in a single episode of the season

And for what it's worth, some players wanted to play Psiren but they also wanted to play characters that were more important to include--Psiren is probably the most droppable.

I doubt it, the only reason I knew anything about her was because it was on the program. I didn't even know she played Wrath. I wouldn't have known who Jennifer Sekiguchi was either except that I'd seen her before in the interview on the Eureka Seven dvd and recognized her picture in the program. Also, I knew her as Stefenie Sheh thanks to Anime News Network. (I wonder if she actually changed her name or if it's just an alias.) Oh yeah, and I had no idea who Michael Sinterniklaas was even though Venture Brothers is my favorite Adult Swim original show.

Oh well, I preregistered for next year since it was a three day pass for the price of a one day pass this year.

Hey, question for those who've been to more than one anime con. Do guests always say stuff like "This was the best con I've ever been to and I'm coming back next year even if I'm not a guest!" ?

Helloooooo?

Yep, that's right. My first choice was Psiren, but I offered to play Rose if no one else wanted to play her.

Helloooooo?

Yeah, still here. Just waiting to see where Elysia and Rose are, as they were going to take flowers to Maes Hughes grave, but there's been no mention of them doing so yet.

Yeah, that seems to have been Raylis's initiative--you guys can just automatically succeed at going to the grave if you like, just post conversation if you want.
