Ikkicon 2010 skit - We're Cosplayers

One day, I'll make a skit using only people that live in the same city, so we can practice before the usual 'Friday of con' panic D: frick. Despite that, this went pretty awesome, and it was fun like whoa.

Zelda - Peony
Klavier - Joss
Ike - Blake
Spain - Jeremy

This won 'Best Skit' :3

lyrics

When I was
A young girl,
My father
Took me to a convention
To see the cosplayers.
He said,
"Dear,
When you grow up,
Will you be
A member of this family,
These gamers, geeks, and nerds?"

He said
"Will you
Ignore them,
The bullies,
The cruel and insecure ones,
Those unimaginitive slaves?
Because one day
these stories,
That moved you
Will help you grow much stronger,
You'll stand up in the end"

I'm gonna make this costume, oh just you wait and see
I'll work all day and night if it kills me
You'll see me down at Ikkicon,
A-Kon and AFest too,
San Japan, KamiKaze, and Oni

We're cosplayers
We're cosplayers
We stay in character all weekend
We won't grow up no matter what
We're cosplayers
I make new friends every convention
And keep them all forever

This stupid wig aint working,
Why won't these scissors cut?
My prop just broke into seven pieces
We'll try again, we'll make it work
We'll stay up all night long
When morning breaks my costume will be done

We're cosplayers
We're cosplayers
We stay in character all weekend
We won't grow up no matter what
We're cosplayers
I make new friends every convention
And keep them all forever

I parked down the street from this hotel
Oh oh oh
What's our room number, please text my cell
Oh oh oh
The 27th floor, are you freaking kidding me

To JoAnn's
And back to Wal-Mart
This fabric sucks
and I forgot the thread
Sewing seams, and sewing zippers
And ripping seams, resewing zippers
Dying hair, and watching glue dry
This pattern here is not the right size
Pulling hair, and pricking fingers
We don't care, because it's who we are

We're Sailor Scouts, and Super Saiyans,
Heroes with swords, and hidden ninjas
Pokemon; and Gundam pilots
Cos - play - ers

We're cosplayers
We're cosplayers
We stay in character all weekend
We won't grow up no matter what
We're cosplayers
I make new friends every convention
And keep them all forever

Be Kamina, (we're cosplayers) and Pierce the Heavens!
Ganon will fall, (we're cosplayers) just use the Master Sword!
And we'll begin, (we're cosplayers) the operation,
When we're in court, (we're cosplayers) We'll shout Objection!

Be Kamina, (we're cosplayers) and Pierce the Heavens!
Ganon will fall, (we're cosplayers) just use the Master Sword!
And we'll begin, (we're cosplayers) the operation,
When we're in court, (we're cosplayers) We'll shout Objection!

(We're cosplayers)

[Sayumi4]

This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down. It puts me in a great mood and makes me want to cosplay. I'm glad to be a cosplayer! I will NEVER stop and I will FOREVER remember this song! Thank you so much! You guys were so epic!

[nostalgiacosplay]

@Sayumi4 Thank you so much!

[FrozenGuineaPig]

I just want to thank you guys, this song has gotten me through three days now of styling my Rikku wig. Couldn't have done it with out this song.

[nostalgiacosplay]

@FrozenGuineaPig Glad to hear it! Wigs can be such a pain, can't they?

[SorceressKassandra]

Aww, man! I can't belive it's taken me this long to find this video!

You guys were just awesome, and by the secound chorus all of us in the 'Slifer's Clues' skit were singing along! Congrats on winning best skit! You guys definately deserved it! ;D

BTW-I wish that there'd be a MP3 of this song. It's just awesome!

[nostalgiacosplay]

@SorceressKassandra Ahh, thank you! I'm sorry I've never uploaded an mp3, but to be completely honest, the quality isn't that great. It sounded fine in a crowded room over speakers, but the mp3 itself has some balance problems :D Your skit was so cute, and I'm really sad we couldn't really see any of it from backstage. I wish more cons would remember to leave seats for the cosplayers. Thank you again! ~J

[HylianMageX]
