I manifested it!! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Anyway, I'm Chen. Or Dust. I like cosplay and cosplay accessories. And pranks. And modifying nerf guns for a bigger kick.

(◔◡◔❁). Mine now~

Why aren't you cosplaying then? 8l. I'm joking, mostly. Yeah, being able to make your costumes is a big plus side. I could make a living as a tailor if I wanted to - at least if I weren't going to acting - and that's if I survive the whole 1-year mandatory army training and decide not to stay on. Damn Big Reds running my life 8l.

whoa, sounds like you've got a whole lot going on there. you're serving in the army? but you want to be an actor? is that right?

The "stepping on me today, growing on your grave tomorrow" type of flower? xD

Well, the great US of A decided to emulate South Korea and have college-aged students serve a mandatory 1-year army enlistment. Bunch of boring details are involved with that but we have demons that'll occassionally come out of summoning rifts - kryffin Big Reds - that like to go on a walk and murder everyone. At least that's the official stance, but really they just mostly use us for free labor.

Good ol' Capitalism. Can't live with it, can't live without it.

ehehe i don't know about that. i'm certainly no pushover, though.

Ooo, slow down, tiger. I'm easily scared. I have a fragile heart.

(´；ω；`)

Please tell that to my government before I finally graduate in 2-3 months. Maybe you can be the voice that matters. Or spirited away. Who knows?

Here's some pics I snapped while I was still at the Crystarium:

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

mostly I just tinker!! I spend a lot of time taking things apart and putting them back together just to figure out how they're made. I got my hands on a dangerous sentry bot a while back and I ended up programming most of the hostile behavior out of it and then dismantling the weapons so now it's just, um, almost a pet? I don't have very many reasons to worry about my safety where I live or anything, and I don't have an interest in making weapons myself. I did make some smaller drones that could be used for observation purposes but other than that I don't necessarily go into those projects thinking about making something useful!

and um. no, it's not the government I worry about. I just do a little bit of research on SOULs on the side.

Don't worry. Even people in my world who go to public school find it weird.

I dunno. Having a dangerous sentry bot has its perks though, though you already mentioned that you don't need any of those said perks. Do robots have sentience in your world or something? We haven't quite gotten there in our world - they're like fake AI or something. Do enough machine learning and it can pretend to be human until it can't.

Ohhhh. You like spying on things. I see. (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ Well, I can't say I don't appreciate the sentiment. There's alwaaaays a pleasure in knowing things you're not supposed to know - and knowing more than the other person is always fun.

If you're not worried about government, what are you worried about then?

Ahh. Did the Big Reds get to your world too? Our government started researching into souls after a whole bunch of aliens arrived and started killing people years back. What sort of Soul research? We have like two schools of thinking? There's the "Rainbow Soul" theory where there's seven colors of souls like a rainbow. Or do you subscribe to Sephirot theory, which is like an older theory?

Being nervous about cosplay means you should cosplay! There's nothing that promotes getting thicker skin than getting all the eyes on you. What sort of magical girl is your thing? Saturday morning save the day magical girls - or the tragic kind?

Well, I was very obsessed with Phantom Brave when I was younger, so I cosplayed Marona for Halloween. But then the Big Reds happened, and I wasn't in much of a mood for cosplay for a while. It's was years after I started doing it again, but here's one of me being a nurse under the readmore.

actually when you put it that way, maybe being weird isn't so bad after all.

I'm happy to call you Chen if that's what you prefer. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) Seems a little silly that school won't just let you use your name??

I actually don't know if any of my hobbies are that weird? maybe they are a little weird just because of the EXTENT of what I do. I'm a little bit of a robotics engineer myself, and I program, and I bake a little, and garden every now and then, and I started working out recently. I do some independent research on a few very specific topics too.

Feel free to call me either. I'm used to either 8).

Well, Amaranth is a bit of a weird school. It's a weird acting school + religion. I'm pretty sure the principal hates anything asian lol given he insists on an english name for everyone. Pretty sure the only reason he hasn't been sacked is because the justice system is corrupt. And well, sometimes you gotta make your own justice. 8)

What do you do with robotics and programming? Sounds like you can already cause a lot of mayhem with those two things alone. Like all I did is figure out how to program this cricket-mimicking chip and bury it under a tile, and it's driven my English teacher crazy lol. What sort of independent research? Is it the type of secret research where if you talk about it, the government will spirit you away? Oooooo. Give meeee the deeeeets.

Maaaaaan. The better question might be what I haven't cosplayed. Anime is always fun, especially anything with magical girls. Dressing up like royalty in a fancy uniform is also fun too. I can't really stand wearing a fursuit though because they get warm and suffocating. That's also why I can't wear a proper juunihitoe with all their layers too.

It's so simple! You just gotta be stuffy and boring and wear the most drab of clothing and talk about something dumb like finance in the most bland of tones, and no one will ever call you a weirdo again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm Chen. Or Dust if you really gotta insist on a translated name like my school does LOL.
