This past weekend was awesome. , , Fox's brother and I all went to Metrocon here in Florida. It was great and I had tons of fun. Especially when Sandrahl and I tried to collect a bunch of stars for the Mario Star Party. We had to do missions for certain characters from the con's main event "The Anime/Human Chess Match". (Metrocon comes with tons of great stuff like this.)

Sanji's mission (from One Piece) was way too tough. It was so tough we got to talk to him after all three of us failed his test.

He said, "You want my star, do you? My treasure? That would make you a pirate, wouldn't it? But are you a good pirate or a bad pirate? A good pirate knows his enemies. So let me ask you a few questions and I will judge if you're good enough for my treasure." Sabi answered a lot of his questions and got way farther then us. But there were some things she simply didn't know and she too soon failed his test. "It's just as well," he said as she pouted slightly. "I doubt you would have passed the physical exam afterword." I gave him my best jaw drop. I had no idea there'd be a physical portion of the test. But he just smiled. "A pirate has to be skilled in mind and body if they hope to steal any treasure."

Sandy, a toadstool from Mario, told us to question Princess Peach about Miyavi, Princess Peach's favorite J-pop star. I actually videotaped her (after Sandrahl and I hunted her down) telling us Miyavi's favorite colors. We got a big star for that one. XD

Let's see, Sandrahl had to assassinate Altair from Assassin's Creed before he assassinated her. I had to get over ten people onto one of the balconies over the main floor to all yell "I love Metrocon" for Auron (from Final Fantasy X). There was Ness from Super Smash Brothers, Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes, Samus also from Super Smash Brothers (she was very hot), and a ton more. All of them had missions for us. Oh man, and Peach's mission was funny. She wanted each of us to do a run-way walk with posing and everything. Sandrahl had to do her's again but I did mine well enough for Peach's taste the first time. Finally, watching all those Top Model episodes came in handy.

Fox felt ill from day one, and the poor dear only got worse. She's still sick now and I've been running around and getting her whatever she needs at any time. She said she had fun at the con anyway and I'm glad for that. But I know she'll be depressed once she starts to feel better. She'll wish we could go back right away, instead of having to wait another year for Metrocon again. Other than that, the only thing I was disappointed about was the fact that the band Eyeshine wasn't there this year. The two of us were really looking forward to it.

What else...? I got a new wallet and a poster of Kakashi, Iruka and Yamato (with Tsunade too, but she had nothing to do with me buying the poster) from the Dealer's Room. And I got Fox a Cloud figure and a Tidus figure too. She seemed pretty happy about that. ^^ And she got me a present too! She commissioned a girl to draw my favorite couple for me, Ibiki/Iruka. The girl isn't really as good as Fox or myself and it was a bit obvious that she didn't try very hard (compared to some het couples she'd drawn earlier) but I didn't care. Ibiki/Iruka is so hard to come by, I was ecstatic to get it. Especially because it was by someone other then myself. There's something about other people drawing my favorite couple, I'd love it if it was a stick figure.

I'd say what Fox bought for herself and what Sandrahl got but I think they want to write about those things in their own journals. So I guess that's everything. ^^
