Cosplays for Närcon Vinter

I think I finally settled on what to cosplay at Närcon Vinter, 22-24 February 2013, my first con for the coming year. My Saturday cosplay has been decided for some weeks now but the Friday cosplay has been a question mark... until now. Here goes!


Friday

Series: Rurouni Kenshin
Character: Kenshin Himura


I finally started watching Rurouni Kenshin late yesterday and I'm already hooked after 5 episodes... I had expected nothing less haha. As you might know I got myself a (manga color) Kenshin wig not too long time ago and I already happen to have passable clothes, for a blue kimono version Kenshin, thanks to previous cosplays so... why the hell not? :'D Besides I'm itching for a new make-up/special effects challenge.. namely creating his cross-shaped scar. This will be fun.


Saturday

Series: Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan
Character: Toshizo Hijikata


The Hakuouki roll continues. I'll probably never get tired of cosplaying from this awesome series. <3 Why Hijikata? Because two of my new-ish Swedish con friends plan to cosplay Chizuru Yukimura and Kazama Chikage and they really wanted me to join in as Hijikata so that we would have the complete trio. I happily accepted!
and it seems we will have a few more characters too, a group yay!


What I will cosplay on Sunday, if anything at all, remains a mystery for now. The con ends pretty early on Sunday morning (as far as I remember) so maybe I can't even attend it the last day.. it will depend heavily on when I have to leave Linköping; after all I have a long journey home. We'll see.

Zombie Café



Ingin menikmati sensasi berbeda makan di cafe? Cobain yang ini, Zombie Café. Zombie Café ini hanya dikhususkan pada saat Hallowen doank, sih sebenarnya. Aslinya café ini bernama Schatzkiste yang memang para pegawainya berkostum maid (pelayan). Schatzkiste berlokasi di Chiyoda, Tokyo. Ketika Hallowen, para pegawainya berkostum zombie-ria yang terlihat seperti nyata. 



 

 

  



Menu makanan yang disajikan pun tak kalah seramnya, Zombie Meal. Agak-agak gimana gitu liat makanannya. Hahay... 



Minuman ini disebut "Sangeria". Liat, tuh dua buah matanya di gelas, hiii....

 


Berikutnya, “The Beyond”: chocolate cake topped with fresh brains (raspberries). Liat isi otaknya, hiiiiiii.......

 


Yang terakhir,  “Let Sleeping Corpses Lie.”.  Ada jari-jari di piring, huuaaaaa.....




Jika tidak ada perayaan khusus seperti Hallowen, Schatzkiste hanyalah café biasa dengan para pegawai yang berkostum maid doank. Tapi jika ada perayaan atau festival, maka café ini pun menjelma sesuai dengan perayaan atau festival yang akan berlangsung. Jadi, kalo mau makan di café ini, lebih baik cek dulu di kalender, sedang ada perayaan atau festival apa di Jepang sana. Seru, kan?



 


Store name: Schatzkiste
Address: 6-5-11 Sotokanda, Chiyoda, Tokyo
Hours: 12:00-22:00 (L.o. 21:30), closed first Tuesday of every month
