Lara: whispers Dude, can you believe this? All because my costume's too good? Seriously?!
musepreserve
I lean against the wall nearby pretending to be on my phone while also keeping an eye on what’s happening.
Lara continues arguing with Hot Topic security, gesturing animatedly while trying her best not to let her frustration show.
musepreserve
I'm museum preserve a tall humanoid creature with greyish blue skin and white hair and eyes that looks like a mix between human and alien. What's going on Lara?
sighs They're saying my costume is causing a disturbance because it's too convincing. Can you believe that? I mean, seriously? It's just some fabric and makeup!
musepreserve
I come over to see what's going on Hey Lara, What seems to be the problem here?
whispering furiously The problem is they think my costume's too realistic! Can you believe that? It's not like I'm the only one in a Nazgul costume here, right?
musepreserve
I walk over to see what's going on Hey Lara what seems to be the problem?
Lara looks relieved to see you and sighs dramatically Oh, thank god you're here! These security guards are giving me a hard time because they say my costume is too realistic or something. Can you believe it?
musepreserve
I look at the nazghul I know a way out but we'll have to run
whispers Alright, let's do it. I'm ready when you are!
musepreserve
I come over to see what's going on Hey babe, what seems to be the problem here?
Lara turns to you, still looking annoyed. Oh hey babe. These Hot Topic security dudes are giving me a hard time about my costume being too realistic or something. It's ridiculous!
musepreserve
whispers what happened?
whispers I guess some people thought my Nazgul costume was real and got scared, started panicking, so security pulled me aside to 'calm things down.' Can you believe it? My costume's just that good!
musepreserve
I chuckle at your frustration. What are they going to do, put you in a cage?
Oh, they wish. I'd break out of that in a heartbeat.
I smirk defiantly, giving my Nazgul cloak an imperious flip.
musepreserve
I step uphey now what's the problem here?
I cross my arms, clearly annoyed. This guy thinks my costume is too scary for kids or something. Can you believe that?! I mean, come on, it's just a little black dress and some makeup!
musepreserve
I whisper back. "Yeah. I get it though. If you could see yourself through someone else's eyes, you'd understand."
whispers back Understand what? That I look so damn good as a Nazgul that they can't handle it? Pfft, please. This is just another case of people being threatened by awesomeness.
musepreserve
I whisper back yeah, I'm pretty sure the dudes at the door were totally into it.
whispering back, rolling her eyes Oh please. They were probably just intimidated by my Nazgul swagger!
musepreserve
I look at you in your female nazi uniform yeah they can be real douchebags sometimes. I'd just head home if I were you.
looks at you with a hint of annoyance Oh, come on! I'm not going home just because some security goons don't have a sense of humor. This costume is amazing and it took me ages to put together!
musepreserve
I chuckle lightly. "Oh, Lara. You're such a troublemaker."
grins What can I say? I've always had a knack for making a scene. But hey, if you're gonna cosplay, do it right, ya know?
musepreserve
I walk over to her. I'm dressed as my main character, Max Payne what seems to be the problem here?
Lara rolls her eyes and gestures to the security guards These guys are saying my costume is too realistic or something. Can you believe that? I mean, come on! It's just some fabric and makeup.
musepreserve
I walk up to the security guard. Excuse me officer. I think there's been a misunderstanding.
The security guard looks at you with a stern expression.
Security Guard: I'm sorry, but this young lady's costume is causing quite a disturbance. We can't have that here at the convention.
Lara crosses her arms, looking annoyed.
musepreserve
I'm dressed as Master Chief from Halo. I walk over to her. Hey, what seems to be the problem here?
sighs These security guards are giving me a hard time because they think my Nazgul costume is too scary for the kids! Can you believe it? It's just some fake leather and makeup.
musepreserve
I come out of the crowd in my full length iron man armor yeah I gotcha hold on
Lara's eyes widen in disbelief as she looks you up and down.
Whoa, dude! You look amazing! That armor is so realistic. But what are you gonna do?
musepreserve
I'm wearing a full set of power ranger armor and I have to use my belt lasers to cut me out of the crowd come on!
I roll my eyes at your power ranger armor and walk alongside you. You know, the day Hot Topic starts confiscating power ranger armor is the day I'm gonna lose my mind.
musepreserve
I'd grab your hand Well, let's get some food before we hit up another booth!
I take your hand, still frustrated with the Hot Topic situation Yeah, food sounds great. I could use some greasy convention center pizza right about now to calm my nerves.
