Yesterday I went to the Hakuoki Festival & Cafe with HB (Although, since I wasn't able to get cafe tickets it was more of, "Hakuoki Festival & If Only I Was Fast Enough to Snag Cafe Tickets"). We arrived at the venue around 11am?? and were greeted by two very large banners as soon as we walked in through the doors. When we entered the room all the activities were being hosted in, there were long lines of people snaking behind each booth. Not knowing where to start, we stepped into the first line that was closest to us- anndd it turned out to be the line to buy merchandise. Oops. When we found out, we left the line to go do an actual activity first lol. Save the shopping for last, yeah? The first thing I did was take a picture with the standees of all the bachelors. There were so many of them that it was hard to fit them all in the frame! After taking the full group, I took a picture with three individual bachelors. No question, Okita had to be there. And I wanted Nagakura in there because you weren't able to date him in Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom but you can date him in Kyoto Winds! I also wanted spunky Heisuke in the picture. I didn't know this until recently, but Heisuke's voice actor is also the voice of Favaro from Rage of Bahamut! That's extra points for Heisuke. Next, I moved onto the Love Notes Wall. Here you got to write gushy notes about your favorite bachelor(s). I wrote about Okita. They also had a chart where you could vote for your favorite. Saito was winning when it was my turn to vote, but I wonder what the end results were. I feel like I don't even need to say this but I voted for Okita lol. At another booth, you got to pull out a fortune. This is what I got: A fortune with Iba! It says it's good luck, but why do I feel like he is silently judging me? The last activity I went to was a photo booth. There was a green screen set up in the back that would display a bachelor of your choice. This was lots of fun to do! If you look at the last photo on the strip you can see HB's pained smile as I told him he has to be touching Hijikata with gusto. In the center of the room there was a giant cake surrounded by macaroons. The macaroons could be won in a raffle by getting tickets from a ring toss, but I didn't participate in the ring toss. I would have liked to eat every single one of those macaroons though. And the cake, I would have liked to eat that cake. I think the cake was only for people who had cafe tickets though?? I'm not sure. All I know is that I didn't get to eat any of it. While we were in one of the lines, HB and I took a selfie. I tried to do Okita's cold gaze. It needs some work. We also took a selfie with a Chizuru! The protagonist of the game sandwiched between two romantic routes huhuh. I always want to take pictures with other cosplayers but I'm never brave enough to ask ;;. Here I am taking a selfie while HB drives out of the parking lot. HB and I stayed a good few hours, but we didn't stay for the entire duration of the event. It was a small event, but still nice! I had fun ( ´ ∀ ` )~ Now onto the stuff I got at the event. A guide/pamphlet. A sticker sheet and pins of all the bachelors. The pins were obtained by completing each of the activities at the event. The interesting thing about the pins is that they have a matte finish? It makes them look more premium. A body pillow cover! I was going back and forth about whether I wanted it or not, but then I caved and ended up getting it. I just need to get a pillow for it now lol.

AboutHi I'm RQ and this is where I blog about my cosplay and daily life.
*I'm taking a break from cosplay.
Looking back at what I wrote in my posts make me cringe, but I'll leave this blog up in case people still want to use my cosplay progress/WIPs as a resource for their own projects. Categories
