Went to KKnM's Otome Party with
ariki_chan this afternoon, and it wasn't too bad. :D To be honest, I wasn't too keen on the idea of playing the
AlicexCross card game and just wanted to go there to see what goodies can be bought and perhaps meet some new folks. Turns out that the card game is quite easy to play once you get the hang of it and kinda fun!
AliceCross is a collectible card game, so you don't actually have to buy tons and tons of booster packs to get better cards because there's only so much (minimum amount of cards in a deck: 40). You play against your opponent, and your aim is to of course finish first before your opponent by increasing your Love Percentage (LOL) while strategizing and thinking of ways to get their quickly (and also decrease your opponent's chances of doing so). The catch is that it's VERY character based, so let's say for the Hakuouki deck we played with, you (obviously) put Chizuru as your main character and you put down any character for the one you want to go after lulz... and you can ONLY end the game if you have an 'END' event card, and 'END' character cards (you must level up your characters to end the game).
It's quite interesting to say the least, and not taxing on the brain. I still remember those good old days of having Battletech and Magic the Gathering tourneys in each other's houses with all the other kids in the neighbourhood. <3 Good days, good days. Anyhoo, pictures!
The Hangout Cafe that the otome party was held at, and they were still setting up at this point. The cafe's kinda cozy and quaint; it has a ton of boardgames you can play with and also Xbox 360's and Wii's that you can jam with. It kind of reminds me of the Mage Cafe back at home?
Neways regarding the party, looolll personally I think it was very fujoshi-centric if you don't mind me saying so :P Why? 'Cause most of the goods sold and for exchange were mostly, if not ALL, BL material. Yours truly caved and bought some doujins too since they were only $8 and I won't be able to get them any other way. Overall it was pretty fun though!
The cards and starter packs that were on sale.
My loot looooool. Doujins were bought,
ariki_chan gave me the mini Starry Sky file, while the rest were door gifts.
keroppon, I'll be passing the two pencil boards to you! I'm keeping the giant file with the two ~wild men~ (FFFFFF) on the cover cause it's kinda large. I also bought that BL theme catalogue doujinshi anthology because I flipped through and the art wasn't bad and consistent, but now that I've looked at it properly when I came home... My reactions went from "O_O" to "OTL" because it is pretty darned hardcore and UNCENSORED ffff. Fortunately the two PoT anthologies are all crack though. :D;;
I'm also pretty happy today because I have ALWAYS wanted these, but had NO way of getting them untiiiiiiillll someone on the
hakuoki comm posted a sales post. So.
UHYOOOOOOO ok since my budget for this month was busted ANYWAAAAAAY *cough*
I'm not going to keep them here with me so I'll be bringing them back to KL when I go home this Tuesday... and keep them in the safety of my figurine cupboard ohohoh. Too bad there wasn't any Saitou, so I snagged up Hiji, Oki and Heitan. 8D
LEMME OUT OF THE PLASTICCCCCC but uwann I love how they look, they're so cute and I don't regret getting Hiji too... his :< face is so cute I wanna pinch it uhihihihihiiii ^o^
