Alexithymiaa: Alexithymiaa: -Adam stood by the refreshment table, carefully filling cups of juice to pass out to the cosplayers that were coming up for nice little refreshments. He picked up a napkin and handed it to the genderbent Vader, a chick who was rocking the shit out of her cosplay. "I like your cosplay. I've never seen anything like it." He smiled and gave her a little nod, making a mental note for his vote of the best cosplay tonight.-
Covet: Eli was walking around feeling all bad ass in his custom Sith outfit, his bracers lighting up and everything because this nerd goes all out.  He was watching other people in their costumes and helping out where he needed. // Tae was also hanging around in a over sexualized Sith outfit with the big hood and the flowy cloak with an outfit underneath that had skin tight pants and a crop top, which wasn't really cosplay as it was sexifying a costume, but to each their own. She walked over to the table where Adam was giving out Juice, "Hey can I get one of those?"
Tsaaq: Bliss adjusted her wig buns and idled around the counter with Hayley for a moment as she rung up a few people actually purchasing items. "Yes, happy May fourth. Great to see you come out." Bliss waved as the last bit of attendees walk away from her."Look at Eli, so handsome." She smirked and wiggled her fingers in his direction with an overdramatic wink. // Hayley glanced in Eli's direction. "In retrospect, a lot of people are dressed up as sith which I wasn't really counting on and now I just kind of feel stupid and like... A conformist. I painted myself red for nothing." Hayley said in a monotone, trying to stand perfectly still in her spot so her body paint wouldn't rub off on anything or anyone.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam poured another cup of juice, turning to hand it over to Tae with a napkin stuck to the side of the cup. "Here you go. Do you want some popcorn too?" He asked her, reaching over to pick up one of the little paper pouches of popcorn he'd been filling earlier for guests to munch on, holding it out toward her.-
Covet: Eli saw Bliss give him a wave and fanned himself when she gave him a wink, before he made his way over to them, catching the last of Hayley's words. "Nah, you're not conforming. You can't really conform when it comes to Star Wars. You kind of have a little bit of everything... The good, the bad... and the ugly... Seriously...someone did an Ephant Mon..." He said then smiled, "Plus...choosing to do a full body paint, is a lot more work than just putting a costume on." // Tae smiled then shook her head, "Ew no thanks. The mere idea of a kernal getting stuck in the back of my throat is enough to make me gag, But thanks for the Juice." She said to him then looked at his outfit," Okay no offense, but what the hell kind of cosplay is that?"
Tsaaq: "You always commit to your cosplay. Don't feel bad. Besides, you asked what female character you'd want to do. I told you to do Darth Talon and it came out great!" Bliss shook her head and waved her hand at Hayley. She walked aroun the counter and went to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Great turn out. And your sister certainly looks like she's having a good time."  // Hayley nodded sheepishly and looked around. "Thanks Eli, you look pretty cool though..." She trailed off. "The bathtub is going to look like the end of Carrie later." She murmured. "I'll go get some juice, oh and the 'surprise' is in the back room Eli. I hid it." She said, giving a thumbs up.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam gave a sheepish little laugh, glancing down at his pathetic outfit. "The cheap kind? I didn't really have the money to spend on any cosplay materials. I kind of just had to go through what I already owned and find something that at least fit the theme. I know, it's sad isn't it?" // Jade stepped into the shop clad in a flowy white pantsuit, her hair coiled into buns at her ears. Moving down amongst the other cosplayers, she brushed by a couple of people playing video games, taking in the other costumes.-
Covet: "It really did. Just hope that you're not stained red after you wash all that off. I remember when Bliss did blue body paint for an event last year....I'm not sure how long she scrubbed to get it all off."  Eli said then grinned nodding his head giving her a thumbs up, "Okay, when did you want to bust that out? "// "Seriously? Why didn't you say something? I have a crap load of stuff that you could have gone through. I mean...granted it's at my parents place and I'm not talking to them right now [Which made for a very awkward dinner last night I will add] But, You could have gone over with Eli or something. It's just sitting there not being used."  Tae said in a friendly tone then looked over seeing Hayley coming to join them, "Damn Girl, you are killing it with that red body paint tonight." She said with a grin.
Tsaaq: "Stop, I was a fantastic Cortana." Bliss said as she stuck her tongue out at him. "Though... it did take very long to clean off of everything." She sighed. She furrowed her brow at the mention of a surprise. "Uhm, do you mean the contest winner announcement?" She asked quickly then eyed the crowd. // "Yeah, I'm sure my roommates will hate that." She strode backwards a moment. "Uhh, I'll give you a signal." She replied then laughed a bit at Tae. "Thanks, your outfit is really nice too." She said, waving her hand at her body then turned to Adam. "Yours is good too." She smiled. "Even if it's just a shirt."
Alexithymiaa: "I would feel terrible taking anything from anyone. It's not too terribly important." He shrugged it off, watching as Hayley came over and immediately shaking his head. "No, it's pretty bad. It's okay, you can say it. I know it is. But you look..." He trailed off, really taking in her cosplay. "How long did that take you?" // Jade made her way through the crowd, heading over toward the front counter where she saw Eli and Bliss. Setting her hands down on the counter, she sent them both a small friendly smile. "Hi. I like your cosplays."-
Covet: Eli grinned, "Yes....you really really were." He added a very excited nod of his head, because he was having a nerdgasm remembering it. "Okay, I'll keep my eye out for it" He said back to Hayley than looked to Bliss, "Oh it's just something she made for Adam for his birthday."  He said in a whisper as if Adam could even hear that far. Hearing Jade he gave her a polite smile, "Thanks for coming and thank you for the compliment. Your costume is....great" Eli responded hesitating on what word to use because he didn't want it to upset Bliss"// "Aww, you're so sweet. Wow... we kind of sound like sith mean girls edition." She laughed then spazzed for a second, "That would make a hilarious video!"  Tae scoffed and rolled her eyes, "You wouldn't be taking it. It'd be like you were giving it a second life."
Tsaaq: She started to laugh. "Oh you." Bliss said before nodding. "Ohhhh. Well that's nice of you guys." She murmured with a smile until Jade approached. "Thank you." She said quietly and nothing more. // "I like the shirt, really!" Hayley said before looking down at her body and sighing. "The better part of my day honestly. Paint always takes forever cause I don't really ask people to help me." She turned to Tae and laughed. "Wow. That's actually a really fucking hilarious idea." She snickered. "Too bad I've never really done like, memes or videos before."
Alexithymiaa: -Adam smiled at Hayley, his hands slipping down into his pockets because he felt like they were shitting on him blatantly in front of him and it was kind of awkward. "Well, your cosplay came out really good. Yours too, Tae. I've seen a lot of really good ones tonight, but ya'll look great." // Jade shifted on her heels, her arm draped over the counter as she spun to look over the crowd of people in the shop. "Thanks. There's a lot of people that showed up tonight. It was a pretty monumental day for Star Wars fans."-
Covet: Eli nodded his head looking over at Bliss as she got quite, then looked out across the crowd of people, "Yeah, Course I think that means everyone because you'd be hard pressed to find someone that's not at least a marginal Star Wars Fan." He said with an awkward chuckle glancing at Hayley hoping he hadn't missed the signal. // "Oh I bet, well next time hit me up, I'd be happy to come over and help. Or at the very least watch, You did fantastic with the  patterns and the highlighting." She looked at Adam, "So do you, You still went with the theme and all. Have you picked out your possible winners for the contest?"
Tsaaq: Bliss blinked as she glanced out at the crowd. She then lowered her head then leaned on the counter a bit. // "Thanks Abs. It took long enough." She laughed. "Thanks Tae." She stifled a smile. "Wow, really?" She asked. "Uh, sure. I'll let you know about my next cosplay probably. Maybe getting ready will take up half of the time?" She suggested then glanced in Eli and Bliss' direction. Her eyebrows rose up her forehead. "We uh, usually take a vote.." She trailed off. "I'll be right back." She called out as she jogged away from them and towards the counter. "Ready?" She asked Eli.
Alexithymiaa: "I have a couple of cosplays in mind that have my vote. Everyone's been very creative this time around. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone votes on, really." He watched Hayley a moment, rocking back on his heels. "How long does it usually take you to put together your cosplays?" // "Definitely." Jade looked at Hayley when she came over, shifting down the counter just a bit so keep plenty of space between the two of them.-
Covet: Eli put his arm around Bliss, and gave her a gentle squeeze, and gave an internal sigh of relief because the awkward tension was disrupting the balance of the force. "Yeah, I'll hit the lights do you need help carrying it or getting the candles lit? He asked her // Tae smiled and nodded, "Half the time meaning more enjoyment of the outfit." She said with a smile, then looked around once Hayley had walked off. "Were you talking to me or her? Cause it depends on what I'm making and how detailed I want it to be."
Tsaaq: She looked over to Eli and smiled a little as she leaned into him.  // She furrowed her eyebrows at Jades glance then sputtered her lips awkwardly. Hayley looked back at Adam then at Eli. "No fire is dangerous I can handle it." She muttered. "I'll just grab it right now, you just start singing once I'm back out here.." She said as she jogged into the back room.
Covet: [Fire bad!]
Alexithymiaa: "Oh, I meant you. I don't know, just kind of like, on average? You seem to do this a lot." Adam shrugged, glancing back over his shoulder at Eli because he felt incredibly awkward talking to Tae. Not that he wasnt awkward anyway. // Jade listened to the exchange between Eli and Hayley, furrowing her brows. "What are you guys doing?"-
Covet: Eli gave a nod then waited for her to get out with the cake in hand. He turned to look at Jade, "You'll see in just a second." He cleared his throat and hit the lights once, before he started singing, having the attention of everyone. "Happy birthday to you .........Happy Birthday, to Adam. Happy Birthday to you!" // Tae nodded her head, "Oh yeah. It's pretty much my life. Putting it together can take anywhere from three days to two weeks. But once I have it all made and fabricated getting ready takes about two to three hours if I have to do full head to toe costum."  She joined in on the singing once Eli started up.
Tsaaq: Bliss came from around the counter and waited until Hayley appeared to sing along. "How old are you nowww?" Bliss sang, even though the song was mostly over. She was one of those people. "And many moreeee." // She crouched down a moment and retrieved the hidden birthday cake. Hayley quickly lit some candles without setting anything on fire so yay. She came out and began to sing along as she made her way over to Adam. "Happy belated birthday." She said with a smile. "Make a wish!"
Alexithymiaa: "Oh, that's pretty cool." Adam nodded his head, turning to look over when they started singing and the FIRE was coming at him. His eyes widened, taking in the sight of the cake and leaning over to blow out the candles. "You really didn't have to do this. I didnt want to make a big deal out of my birthday." // Jade kind of awkwardly joined in the singing because she liked Adam and he was nice to her, moving over with the group to watch him blow out candles.-
Tsaaq: ((I'm so tired I forgot to link the cake lol https://thewondrous.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/funny-birthday-sayings.jpg))
Covet: ['AHAHAHAHAHAH That's fantastic]
Alexithymiaa: (I feel like I need to make this cake)
Covet: "I'm actually sorry it's not more. I'm a horrible boss and it slipped my mind. But Happy Birthday, Man." Eli said wrapping an arm around Bliss, then went about doing the cosplay event things, doing the cosplay winner and all that jazz because I know you two are toast and Steph needs the bed place.// Tae sang  and  partied then went upstairs to do the shower things and sleep.
Tsaaq: "Oh stop." She waved her hand, watching him blow out the candles and enjoying the rest of the night probs. // Hayley went to hug him and kissed his cheek. "You are a big deal to me though. Sooooo. I had to." She grinned and they probably went back to OCH to deal with all the red paint.
