I am excite!

 

My big crew decided to rent a house together just a couple miles from the Rio so 15 of us are going to be livin it up all fancy like. It's 3 Chocobo's Wing members, 2 Grim Echo members, and 10 Night Blades. El Curago, who is a professional chef in real life, is driving up with his wife and is going to cook for us every night in order for us to save money on food. But all of us are flying in on the third so on that day we're going out to Sushi :3

 

I'm really excited. Some of the people going I've known for 5+ years and haven't met them yet. And I finally get to try Curago's cheesecake after all these years of him bragging about it.

[Hiro]

So behind on my armor for my cosplay... Doin' something a bit out of the ordinary but... meh!

[Lillith Cale]

I'm not even going to cosplay T_T I said I would, but I just didn't have the time to try and get a costume together, and since I can't craft a single thing in real life I can't just make it before it's time to get there.

 

Oh well, I'll just be enjoying myself with Meta regardless

KETCHUP CHIPS.

 

That is all.

 

See everyone there!
