Costume Party

Spent the first half of last evening signing in all my active and semi-active and proto-active toons on to get the 4/28 costume tokens. Will probably do the same today to get the 4/29 (re)costume tokens.
Didn’t do much, costuming-wise. I already had a fine Golden Age costume for Psi-clone (and a rather less lovely Silver Age one), and the only other one I had to do was Ho Ho, for Monday. Alas, women’s top styles don’t have much in the way of “normal” clothes, so I went for the mannish look — man’s dress shirt and tie, black jodhpurs tucked into stiletto black boots. Actually looks pretty nice. Unkinked her hair, of course, into a Josephine Baker-style bob.
It’s hard creating a stereotype from a stereotype, but at least it was something.
Flew over to the Pocket D party — main — to see what was happening. What was happening was, evidently, a lot of people who hadn’t done anything to their costumes standing around and bitching that the Devs weren’t there, hadn’t been there, had been there and gone, and dude, where was their costume piece / new mishes / jetpacks / rebate check?
Feh.
Eventually ran off and did some Fazenda/Araware gameplay. Ironic, since Fazenda’s already close to being Golden/Silver Age in her costuming (female stage magician in top had … a visual that hasn’t changed much over the decades). Actually, it worked pretty well — there are some distinct similarities to the Hildy/Torchy combo — PBAoE combat grinder gathering up mooks while the blaster blasts them — except that (a) Araware’s an empathy-backed scrapper, not a tanker, and (b) Fazenda’s blasts are single-target, not AoE.
Fun times. May do them some more.
