homralings | WINTER COMIKET 201XX!!!

Because we wanted nerds being nerds and conventions are a thing.

PROMPTS!

1. Can't get in - You snooze, you lose. Didn't get up early enough? Well too bad. Now you're stuck in line, either in front of the convention center or at the train station. Are you willing to wait in line? Try to bust in? Or maybe a kind friend has saved your space for you. Or maybe an asshole has decided to try and muscle their way in front.

2. On the main floor - The main draw of comiket are (of course), the tables held by various doujinshi circles. Whether you've been here before or got dragged by a friend, it seems bigger and busier than you ever thought it could be. There are thousands of tables selling everything from doujin to merchandise as well as the occasional booth from a video game company or a publisher announcing this season's anime. Better make sure your friends are still within reach. It's pretty easy to get lost in the sea of sellers, buyers and cosplayers. Also you might want to note that thanks to JUNGLE, members of Scepter 4 and HOMRA have been getting pretty popular so... don't be surprised if you suddenly catch doujinshi and merchandise with your mug on the cover. ~~and possibly shipped with someone you know or might not have even spoken to~~

3. I need a break - Maybe that's just way too much excitement for you for one day but you need a breather. Back outside, there are refreshment stands at least so you can grab a snack if you want. Of course, you'll probably have to step around all the people hanging around and playing video games or dodge the occasional circle of cosplay photographers.

Or whatevs!
Go crazy!

[ There was no way Bandou was gonna miss Comiket this year. Or at least, that's what he told himself when the dates for the event were first announced. But then stuff happened and jobs were lost and it wasn't until a week before that he remembered and had to scramble around, borrowing money from the guys to try and get himself a ticket.

But somehow he'd managed, and with slightly over what he needed for his pass in his wallet, he entered the convention center's main hall. Only to stop and gawk at how long the line for tickets was. With an annoyed click of his tongue, he made his way to the end, trying to keep his cool when two girls slid into line before him. At least they were cute, or they would have gotten an earful!

It'd only been five minutes and Bandou's patience was running short. He scanned the snaking line ahead of him, trying to wage how much longer this was gonna be when someone caught his eye. Hey...he knew that person! ...he didn't want to admit he knew him, but still, that could be his "ticket in", so to speak! Not hesitating on the notion, he lifted up one of the elastic belts on the line separators and scooted underneath, making sure everyone he was cutting knew that his friend was up there and they better move aside to let him through.

And when he got close enough, he called to the guy so no one thought he was making things up. ]

Oi, Blue!

[ Bandou was already at the convention when he decided to get out his PDA and call around to the other guys. He was having a good time, but things had gotten a bit weird when he found out his long time guild mate was actually a member of Scepter 4. Even weirder when the two started to get along as if no sort of rivalry had ever existed between their two clans.

But Enomoto had to go to the dealers room to sell some of his product, so now Bandou was sitting around waiting for the next event he wanted to attend to start. Which wasn't for about three hours. And feeling like he had to make up for his association with the Blues, he thumbed his way through his contacts. Most of the guys were at work or just didn't want to go. He figured Dewa would be interested, but considering he lent him most of the money he needed to get his own ticket, maybe he should just avoid the guy for now. He hovered over Eric's name - he'd definitely be free, but would he care enough to go? Whatever he's giving him a call anyway. ]

STARTING WITH 1

For Eric~
