WHAAAT-- THIS IS ON TRENDING?!?!? TYSM Full title: FURCON FUR*accidentally opens bookmarks*SCON FOIURiKECON CURUJFN FUROCN In case you can't tell I am very excited lol And yes, I did actually open my bookmarks by accident when typing the title-- I guess I hit a keyboard shortcut or something. xD Uh anyway Let me tell you about my time at Further Confusion 2024!! It was SO much fun!! First of all, I wore Marmalade, of course. Tsukasa was originally going to wear Puffball and Crow (he planned to switch around the middle of the day), but literally one day before the convention the Tsukasa (the character) cosplay outfit he'd ordered came in the mail so he decided to wear that instead. We woke up at 6:30 AM so we'd have enough time to get ready (my dad was picking us up at 8 so we'd be able to get there super early and stay most of the day). We had breakfast, got our stuff together, and when my dad arrived, we got in the car and started our journey! Tsukasa got to pick music-- so, unsurprisingly, we were listening to Ghost and Pals the entire drive. Not that I minded lol, their music is good-- Anyway, when we arrived we got registered and headed down to the main hang-out area to get settled. I texted Scout to ask if they had arrived yet, but apparently they weren't going to leave until 10:30-- So we had some time before they arrived. We walked around taking pictures with fursuiters. My dad also signed us up for an escape room, since we wanted to do it last year but hadn't realized that it required signing up beforehand. Also, apparently my dad registered me and Tsukasa as sponsors, meaning we got our names in the Con Book and got a bunch of cool free stuff! It also meant we got to go to the Sponsor Brunch, which was exactly what it sounded like. I ate some cantaloupe, honeydew melon, pineapple, biscuits, and waffles with whipped cream and fruit! It was all really good. (Tsukasa also took a picture of my food, but he didn't send it to me, so it's not in the project. He also dared me to eat plain butter... and I did it...) After that we went to the Dealer's Den to pick up our sponsor gifts and buy some stuff, and then we returned to place we were before to wait for Scout to arrive. Tsukasa played some Project Sekai music on his phone and did some dancing-- No one stopped to watch, but he did get recognized a few times! My favorite reaction was: "Is that Tenma Tsukasa? AT THE FURRY CONVENTION!?" Anyway, after a while we got a text from Scout saying they were at registration. We went to the tables near the registration area to wait for them-- But just as they'd finished registering, we realized that it was almost time for the escape room! I texted them to tell them we'd meet them afterwards, and we hurried to get there in time. When we arrived at the escape room, there was another group of 3 other people waiting there, and we all went in once the person running it opened the door. He explained the rules and basic things like that, and then we got to work on the puzzles. Some of them were more difficult than others, and we didn't end up solving them all in the allotted time-- But it was really fun nonetheless! After that, we went to get some lunch at a food place inside the convention center and let Scout know where we were. They said they were at the fursuit group photo and would try to make their way over to us. We ate while we waited, and Tsukasa played some Project Sekai, until we got a text saying that Scout couldn't get through the fursuit parade, and asking if we could meet up at the dinomasker panel we were planning on going to. So we agreed, and once the time to go to the panel came around, we got up and headed towards the area where it was being held. We had to go through the fursuit parade to get there-- I would have stopped to look at all the cool suits, But I was too busy keeping my eyes locked on my dad's back in front of me so I wouldn't lose him (and occasionally looking over my shoulder to make sure Tsukasa was still with us)! Eventually we made it there, and it was clear that the other people attending the panel were having trouble getting through the parade too, because there were only two other people there. Soon enough, though, people began to pour in (including Scout), until the room was packed! The panelist didn't have anything planned, so we kind of just wandered around, talked, and took pictures with people. At some point there was also a sacrifice circle... Not sure what that was all about... It was chaos! Towards the end, we took a group photo and a group video, and then we left. The next panel we wanted to go to, a writing panel, wasn't happening until 5:00, so we went back down to the lobby area to hang out some more. Tsukasa danced some more while Scout and I went around taking pictures with people. Eventually Tsukasa suggested we go outside. I agreed, but Scout wanted to go to the Dealer's Den, since they hadn't had a chance to yet. (continued in notes and credits)
