Sebastian goes to AWA

Hey everyone. I said I'd post some images and stories from my
most recent anime convention, Anime Weekend Atlanta in Atlanta,
GA. As of right now, I'm still searching for pictures taken of
me, so there aren't many here. But I'll edit this post and add
on to it as I find more.
To start, I'd like to say that this was the most enjoyable
convention I've been to yet; mostly because it was my first time
cosplaying at Sebastian Michaelis (No surprises there, right?).
Almost as soon as I arrived on Friday, I found the most perfect
Ciel who would become the only one I focused on over the course
of the weekend. You can kinda see me next to Ciel in this image.
lol

He was almost always in-character, like myself; and impersonated
Ciel perfectly. He even had a bit of voice acting skill to take
on Ciel's voice; along with details like the way he walked, his
stance, his expressions, and his temperament. Let's just say
that cane didn't go unused when it came to a point that his
Sebastian (myself) caused some irritation. He wouldn't stop
poking me with it until I left the cat girls alone. I quite
enjoyed myself. Over the weekend; I brought Ciel food and drink,
I dressed him, I pulled up chairs for him to rest in (I rarely
sat down all weekend, it just isn't proper for Sebastian to sit;
so my feet are unbelievably sore from very little rest), I knelt
at his feet, I even helped him out with math and chemistry
homework. XD I obeyed commands just as one hell of a butler
should.

(My legs are a bit awkward in this picture; the photographer
caught me just as I was getting up from a kneel. And the stairs
were certainly no help at all. XD)
I think what I admired most was Ciel's authoritative tone.
During the Black Butler photo shoot; there was a point when
photographers wanted only my Ciel for a photo. I rejoined the
other observers while we brainstormed new poses. Ciel then goes
up the stairs; and looks straight at me and says "Sebastian, I
command you to stand by my side, and to remain there." We were
outside, and yet every single person present went eerily silent.
XD There were some "Ohhhh's" in a short while as well. I was
rather surprised myself, but I took my place at his side as
ordered. Threw in a nice bow and "Yes, my lord" as well. That
moment of accurate in character was what made us a bit more
well-known around the convention.

My master's expression... Couldn't be more perfect.
When my Ciel was cosplaying another character, I found myself
"recruited" in a way to another Ciel; this one was wearing
Ciel's pink ball dress early on in Season One of Black Butler.
You can see it in the picture below; I'm standing just behind
her and slightly to the right, the one with darker blue hair.

Anyway, while I was following her around; there was a cosplay
emergency which became a huge photo shoot. The two of us were
the center of attention. The dress is made "poofy" by plastic
rings which become larger toward the bottom of the dress. Sadly,
one of those plastic rings found its way through the thin
fabric; and a section was awkwardly sticking out of the dress.
(The image above is after I fixed it up) So I, being the
well-prepared butler that I am, got out needle and thread. Some
buttons on my tailcoat were lose, so I kept sewing supplies with
me in case of need. It came in useful there. I spent the next
half hour kneeling on the floor (my knees still hurt), getting a
temporary sewing job done. We were in the main lobby, so there
were people/witnesses everywhere. I'm not sure exactly how many
took photos; I was looking down at the dress the entire time,
trying not to sew my gloves to the dress fabric. XD But Ciel
said she lost count around 68; so a good number. Anyway, that
mini-emergency turned out to be an amazing photo opportunity.
I'm still trying to find some pictures of this; shouldn't be too
long because there were so many photographs.
Well, these are just the highlights of my con trip. As I said,
I'll add more to this as I find corresponding visual aid.
Originally, I was planning on switching between Sebastian and
Edward cosplays; but I ended up being Sebastian all three days
due to my amazing Ciel and my popularity. We were fairly well
known by the end of Friday; and more people would be coming on
Saturday and Sunday. So, in order to satisfy requests from those
I'd like to call admirers; I was Sebastian all weekend. Ciel and
I were constantly in roleplay mode; much to the enjoyment of the
many people there. Yes, I did spend time admiring cat pictures
and stuffed feline animals (I saw an awesome tiger one that I
almost bought); only to be poked by Ciel's cane until I moved
on. Anyway, I'm already excited for my next convention; Momocon;
which is in March and located in downtown Atlanta, GA.

Wow, I have never seen someone stay in character for three days
straight. Amazing how you can do that. xD
I, myself, am getting ready for some conventions next year, as
my mom (FINALLY) allowed me to go. I am looking to go to
Metrocon with my friend in Tampa, FL. I don't know whom I will
be going as, Winry or Mei-Rin, but it will be pretty fun.
I hope you have a fun time to your next con, as well. C:

It was quite enjoyable. I got to as many conventions as I can;
the next one is Momocon in March; also in Downtown Atlanta. If
any of you plan go there, shoot me a pm and we can meet up there
if you'd like.
And here is a picture of that cosplay emergency; finally found
one.
