"A drifter plushie?" Yul chuckled. "Okay, I've gotta get one of those. Maybe two."

His expression grew more serious. "Sounds good to me. Lead the way, Koseki-san."

"Sure! I was gonna take a break, but if you'd like some help I can certainly try!" she said with a bright smile. Resting the shirt into the crook of her arm, happy that it'd served it's duty proudly.

Leaning in a little she awaited just what he was hoping for help with, an ear slightly turned toward him to make sure she heard him well.

Mumei showed up a second later, tugging the tiny skirt into place after changing into also freshly bought, by Akemi, costume that shall be left vague until there's a bit more time to find a good picture. Spotting Akemi, she angles toward her and then points to where a Starlight Neko Five cosplay cover band looks like they're setting up in an unused corner between a fashion shoe store and a the edge of the food court. "Music! And that looks really cute out of the bag. I kind of had my doubts about that skirt, but it works!"

"A-" she furrowed her brow a little. "A hero?" she asked, uncertain, tilting her head a little to the right. With a soft laugh, she said, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand," she said, bringing up her free hand to cover her chuckle.

"You mean like me?" she raised her arms a little to show off her outfit a bit, glanced around with a light but strained laugh. "We have plenty around here, yea?"

"It is okay to feel grief. Otherwise, we would not have funerals." Nozomi glanced over at the seat next to Hyeon-ju.

"I hope you are right. I wish I knew more of her, famous as she was in life."

Tetsu shrugs. "Yeah, me neither. First time playing." If the man was trying to insult him, he wasn't very good at it.

He also cocks his faux armored head at the man's requests. "Are those characters I don't know about? Sorry, it's a big fandom out here"

Ichika glances to Tetsu for a moment raising her brow, keeping it raised as she looks back to the man. "A thief? Maybe over by the roleplaying tables, unless you mean a real one? Did someone take something from you?" she asked, uncertain and concerned. Furrowing her brow as she started looking at the man with a little more focus, like looking at him might tell her something.

With his volunteer knowledge of the layout Koseki led Yul over to the costume displays. He started looking for info on the designers. "Maybe the guy has a massive ego. Let's see if we can find his stuff?"

The Firefly started looking around for any sort of name tags or similar.

"Yes, but... if I feel it too much, it will be like a floodgate opening." Perhaps once this miai was concluded and she had found that treacherous designer, she'd allow herself to fully grieve.

"Would you like to sit, Kitsu-san?" Hyeon-ju gestured to the nearby spot on the bench.

As they walked along, Yul kept trying to push the hair away from his eye. "Maybe I should have picked a different costume. This one just seemed easy."

He helped examine the name tags, but then he frowned, glancing around. "So... where'd you get the plushies?"

Tetsu shakes his head, pocketing his holorecorder. "Never mind. It's a Crab thing."

The Tsuki-toons game ended up running for quite a long time, and Shion got quite carried away doing that "Harmonautics" board game, so it was quite late in the Con when she finally took some time to walk around and try to see who else was there and what they were doing.

Seeing Ichika and Tetsu, and Koseki to one side, she nodded and waved to each of them with a smile, but refrained from interrupting their current conversations and just kept chilling to the side for now.
