Rumors have been murmured of a new super elite club that is
growing on campus, a club that one can only join if found fit and invited via a
blood written letter slipped beneath your doorframe. Rumors like these were of course
far too tempting not to investigate. While I was investigating this
super-secret society I stumbled upon the Cosplay Club. Like this rumored group
of hooded monks the Cosplay Club is brand new, but that’s about where the
similarities end. Unlike the monks who venture forth only at night to perform
great feats of magic upon the quad the Cosplay Club accepts everyone. For those
who have never heard of this hobby don’t search for it on google because all
you will find is the worst (which is possibly illegal) and the best (which is
also possibly illegal) of what Cosplay has to offer. Instead imagine this:
every one of your favorite video game, book, anime, or movie characters going
out to a convention of sorts to do whatever awesome fictional characters do
together, except that one of them is you. Now this explanation isn’t
necessarily true but is what you feel as you go out to Cosplay. So of course
after this explanation I discarded the bloody letter which had appeared from
under my door and immediately set out to discover what Cosplay really is.
Cosplay it turns out is really just you and a bunch of friends going out and
having some of the best fun possible while being costumed as your favorite
fictional character kind of like Halloween, but all the time. I was
flabbergasted. Of course this club is new and has to resolve a few kinks. Such
as what conventions should we attend; how much material will we provide
members; how large should the dues be; and most importantly where should we
hide our hooded robes when the general public comes around. The idea of the
club is sound though. It is a place for nerdy, artistic students to get
together and dream up some of the wildest designs, then build and show off
those designs in a friendly and helpful setting. Now whether this is for you or
not is a question to answer for yourself. I for one am ecstatic to see a spark
of school-run, artistic light shine through the daily trials of science and
math classes. I look forward to seeing where this club goes in a couple of months
and how it holds up. Now I must attend to my second order of duty; where best
to hide my new hooded robe.
