Sci-Fi Convention

This past weekend there was a sci-fi convention that the toy store went to. This mean that they toy store would be closed. I went to the sci-fi convention with a few people from the toy store to see them interact in a different place, but with the same kind of people there are at the toy store. The people I went with were Star Lord and Guy. Mr. Piccolo was also there, but he was working at the booth for the toy store.

Star Lord and Guy interacted in the same way as they would do if they were at the toy store. They asked each other how their week has been, and would complain if something bad went wrong for them. They also talked about the possibility of the store closing, but the subject was soon quickly changed to what was at the sci-fi convention. The two guys walked around, looking at the different booths, and saying hello to people that they knew.

The people seen at the convention are like the people you would run into at the toy store. The only difference is that a lot of the people are dressed up in costume, which is called cosplaying. The two guys I was with did not cosplay, but they admire the cosplayers work and compliment them if they saw one that they thought was well done or was a character that they liked. There were also some of the more famous cosplayers there. The guys talked to one of the more famous cosplayers because they have meet her before, and they also talked to another one because of the Chun-Li costume she was wearing.

There is a certain set up to the sci-fi convention. One row consists of artists who sell their work. This is typically called artist alley. The next couple rows have booths from different stores and people who also wish to sell things from their stores or things that they have made. Finally, there is a section for playing board games and video games. The two guys mainly stayed in artist alley and the booths from the stores. They seemed to be more interested in buying things or looking at the merchandise rather than playing games with strangers. The booths that the two guys mostly stayed at were the anime booths.

After the guys had walked around the convention a few times, they went back to the toy store booth to talk with Mr. Piccolo. The three talk about their normal subjects, except the owner of the toy store is here. This means that the three guys are unable to complain about the toy store. They also talk about the convention and the different featured guests that are here. Star Lord asks how the toy store has been doing, and Mr. Piccolo responds saying that they have been doing really well with sales for today. Star Lord seems surprised because normally people do not buy a lot of things from the toys store. Perhaps being at a convention is different because people who normally do not go to the toy store are able to see their merchandise.
