Well, you seemed to be perfectly happy with the idea at first. And #4 doesn't really count unless you had some other undisclosed plan for another FF7, because there is a difference between entering the masquerade, and entering with masquerade with _me_.

I offered to if you wanted me, and said as much. And by 'not particularly intriguing' I mean the ratio of interesting plot to really stupid gameplay (I maintain 'brute force' is not a valid boss-strategy any RPG should have) was such that if you had wanted it back, I wouldn't have been OMGdestroyed to mail it back to you. If you don't want it, then I'll probably start playing it again eventually when I'm bored enough to deal with really stupid boss fights, which is where I'm stuck. Which is more than I can say for KotOR, or MGS, or Goldeneye.

...Well, you gave off the distinct impression that you were doing Devil's Trill, and that was your cosplay plan for AB. Which means none of those are getting done while I'm still here.

And I think Mara's sentiment is more that she doesn't want to be around you if you're going to secretly hate it and/or pretend nothing ever happened. Which, to be honest, you haven't shown any inclination of not doing, at least as far as I can see. Having hung around with two people who are secretly glowering at each other isn't an enjoyable experience for _anyone_ - I've been there.

No, Devil's Trill is for Otakon. But it's my top priority.

And I really don't think Mara has much to do with our discussion.

...So...you're not cosplaying for AB? Going to AB? Something like that?

And you brought her up by saying you weren't doing groups because she doesn't want to see you. I was clarifying that particular remark.

No, that you had someone else that was doing it.

I tried that too. Which means spending far too long leveling up, which I can't do because I'm low on health items and there isn't anywhere I can get them, I think.

I didn't the last time I talked to you.

What level are you? Which characters? Are you using the right element for Fusion? (One of the guards on the lowest level of the stairs on the screen with the boss fight in it is a store. You'll miss out on a lot if you don't talk to people.)

... Um. You don't mean the first of the two boss battles with Dehuai in a row, do you?

...I have no idea what you mean by that first sentence.

Yuri, Zhuzhen, and Margarte or however you spell it, who are the only three I can - don't remember the levels. I'm using the right element. I must have missed the guard I usually talk to everyone (mostly because in FFX, they give you free stuff!)

Which ever one is after the Badger Devil. Which I personally think is kind of a stupid evil creature - I mean, a _badger_?

(Congratulations, this is the most replied-to entry on my LJ)

...It seems logical to me to work on the costume that's for a con that's eight months away before working on one for a con that's twelve months away, but they're your costumes, not mine.

I don't intend to be - the fact that you blocked and defriended someone who you once considered a friend and then more or less vowed to never speak to again, and now are claiming that you're perfectly fine around isn't in any way anomalous at all?

Ah.

It's probably low-level or bad luck. And you can save, I think - I tried looking up some guides on GameFAQs.

(I guess.)

... That up there was supposed to be a 'not going to finish it before I start on anything else'. I don't think I will, anyway. I'm not sure. Either way, Devil's Trill and possibly King of Swords are my only finalized plan(s).

Okay, then, the conclusion is the same: there aren't going to be any cosplay groups with both me and Mara in them.
