story time:
it’s tekko 2025. I’m cosplaying Zoro. I have been cosplaying Zoro all weekend. vendors are starting to recognize me. I am a very distinct Zoro.
my wife and I are circling a stand in the dealers hall with blind boxes. person in front of us gets the last one piece one. we go “oh bummer, no blind box for us” but the guy behind the stand goes “hold on I’ll make another one”.
i watched him grab a figure and went “oh no he did not.” then he went over to his friend, showed him what he grabbed, pointed at me, and started laughing.
transaction complete. my wife looks at me and goes, “I wonder what we got!”
I respond, “I think I know.”
exit the dealers hall. open the bag. it’s the newest god damn mihawk figure.
that guy laughed every time he saw me the rest of the weekend, I just know it.
