FBM09 – FROM KIRYU TO ARUKENIMON





Welcome to the next journal of mine! ^^
This time, I can tell you that the next convention is already over and was on this weekend, and yet again it was really eventful. *__*
I can say that it was not as good as the Hanami convention of this year, which in my taste was the best, or else it would have not inspired me to start a comic to put up the memories in there to store them and never forget them.
The FBM09 was kinda okay. I started out as Kiryu Kyosuke and then later on decided to change my cosplay costume in that of Arukenimon, which if why I dubbed this event “FROM KIRYU TO ARUKENIMON”. I really love my creative names.
So yeah, I came to Frankfurt by train, since I as a student am allowed to take the train there for free, while most other people had to pay quite an amount of money to get there, especially when they came from other parts of Germany, or even overseas. Many people on the FBM for sure did come from America or China, since China was the special guest on this event.
When I arrived, I had to find out with horror that the place of the FBM was so much bigger than the one on my very first convention, the LBM09. Really, 8 halls on such a big big place, I doubted that I would find ANYBODY of the people I wanted to meet here. But yeah, mobile phones are pretty useful to find people.
Anyway, in the first few hours I felt kinda lonely. A lonely Kiryu, that was, until a Kiba from Naruto suddenly jumped me, and screaming a loud “KALIN!!!” to me. Kalin?? who the heck is that? No, I do not want to hear my crazy dub name... but then again, I really like it, it is my personal hinting for KiAki. Not long after the Kiba found me though, I saw Aki, another Kiryu and a BLACK BIRD DELIVERY CROW! *__* Looks like we had quite the 5Ds group there already, huh?


This shot is just for you :iconasuka-rose:, you big big Crow fangirl. XD

But shortly afterwards, I was alone again, when I decided to phone Dark-Nudelsieb, who was an Arukenimon on another previous convention and wanted to come as Arukenimon too... but too bad, some friend of her took her Aru-wig from her, so she came as the Pikachu I knew from back of the Hanami. Still, she was cute. But the funny thing is when I tried to phone her, I realized that she already stood beside me.
Then, Aki aka Aiyou and Divine aka entered the scene, and all of a sudden we had our beloved troubleshipping together. Okay, not that beloved, but at least, they could take some DivAki photos. But first, Divine had some duel, when I got a call from my Meowth who wanted me to get her from hall three where I told her to stay until I come to fetch her.
My Meowth was my Itachi from the Hanami con, and who remembers that, yeah... it was the one with whom I had “gay moments” including the unique yaoi shipping of Kiryu x Itachi This time, of course, I as Kiryu became a Pokémon Trainer, as you can see here.




I really love my Meowth. And without her, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the day as much as I wanted to. Because, well, Divine and Aki wanted their moments, so I left them alone for a while, and in the meantime, met a Johan and his “girlfriend”.


and as I and my Pokémon were running around, suddenly, I screamed when seeing a James!!! XD and this is when we had this half Team Rocket! XD



Later on, I decided that I was fed up with being Kiryu and that I want to change into Arukenimon, so we checked back with Divine and Aki if it was okay for me to change my stuff, but they again were deeply into a photosession so much, that I decided not to bother them and get on with my life.

This is when I had the idea of the day: If I change my clothes, my Kiryu cosplay will be free to wear for someone else. I glanced down at my Pokémon, asking her, if she doesn't want to become Kiryu by any chance, and she happily accepted, and it made me happy too since I KNOW how much of a Kiryu fangirl she really is and if I can make her happy, I am happy as well. And this was when we started to find a toilet to fit into one single cabin and change our stuff there. But then, on the way to the toilet, something happened which I have never thought would happen.

WE MET MUMMYMON AND ARUKENIMON!!! O­_____O




Just right before the toilet they were standing with a Tai. *__* Of course, this caused a massive fangirl squee for me, and I grabbed my Mummymon plushie which was right beside me in my open bag and THREW it at that Arukenimon. How dare she try to be a better Arukenimon than me!!! Nah, jokes, she really looked awesome! I only hoped to get to them and join them as Arukenimon as soon as I changed my clothes, so I slipped into a cabin with my Meowth, we stripped off our clothes and changed them, and so, I came out as Arukenimon and my Meowth as the new Kiryu.
Bad thing was, by the time we got back, the other Arukenimon and Mummymon were long gone. So, kinda disappointed, we went outside into the cold, where I got recognized by people who were shouting a loud “ARUKENIMON!!” at me, so I asked them about the mysterious cosplay corner, in which cosplayers could gather for photoshooting, but where nobody knew of its whereabouts. But, lucky enough these people knew where it was and were kind enough to guide us there.

So, the rest of the day we stayed on the inside, where it was warm enough and not as deadly cold as outside. Seriously, now that I think about it, how can it be, that I, a person who is freezing easily, was able to stand or walk for more than hour in the coldness where there were temperatures of around one number? O___O
anyway, in the cosplay corner, we were able to meet Aki and Divine again, as well as the rest of the 5Ds group. So there we also made nice shots, the last ones of that day for me.




This one was rather... eh... I wanted a Kiryu x Divine picture, but Molly seemed to be pissed. <.<



This was another cute shot with Arukenimon and Aki. But the for me cutest picture is the next one below. and it brings me to some weird pairing: Kiryu x Arukenimon. This might also fit with the title of the journal. From Kiryu to Arukenimon.



THIS IS SO CUTE!!! and it makes me wonder why I can only have such cute shots just with you, my Itachi, my Meowth, my Kiryu. I just hope that one day, you can really finish your Aki Izayoi Cosplay, because then, and I am sure of that, we will finally be able to take a dream photos of KiAki which we always both wanted so much...
and, you really looked amazingly cute in general in my clothes...


well, the best ConHon entry of the day was from Wormmon, who accompanied my Digimon Emperor, in which Wormmon simply wrote and I quote "HELLO ARUKENIMON, LEAVE YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY KEN-CHAN, DO YOU UNDERSTAND??". Aki nearly died of laughter, saying this was the best ConHon thing she EVER saw. Oh well.


On sunday, the digimon emperor was the first one to meet for me, if I remember correctly, we both met at the train station, and there also with Divine and our previous Aki who this time came without a cosplay. well, the first few hours I had my digimon emperor, and we were joking about how good it would be if Arukenimon would be the digimon partner of her, despite the earlier warning of Wormmon from the previous day. Later on, the Digimon cosplay group gathered and we shared some time together.
The hours passed by, and we came back to the cosplay corner, when I heard the rumours that somewhere outside, an Arukenimon and Mummymon must be running around. Nobody could tell me though where exactly they were, so I had a small problem with finding them. I asked Johan from Saturday to take care of my bags and ran off into the cold to find them, but stumbled across a marriage ceremony, in which all of them were screaming for me to come to them.
I came back, and only to get some time passed, I took Johan's dueldisk, and went off to show this around.

"Hey... wait, Arukenimon, you are from Digimon... how come you have a dueldisk?"
"err, well, I decided I try out to play cardgames, why?"
"Oh, it's nothing. You look amazingly good with a dueldisk though. It really fits you!"



so, I had fun with Johan, and with Maike from Pokemon, until I decided to run off and try find my Mukeni again.
so yeah... outside, I found a Taichi, Mimi and Miyako instead and lead them to the cosplay corner. Just right when the DCM finals started and everyone who cosplayed went inside to watch the tournament of cosplay in its finals, I chatted a bit with Taichi about Yaoi and why everyone is so madly in love with MattxTai, because I just don't get it. and then suddenly, my dream came true, and my mission reached its end.
ARUKENIMON AND MUMMYMON ENTERED THE COSPLAY CORNER!!
I screamed so loudly for them that people turned their heads.
anyway, the rest of the day I spend with Mummymon, and we talked abit. I also watched one or two of the cosplay finals and of course took some Mukeni photos.
so, yeah, this was my FBM09, the on my opinion third or second best convention I had.
and now for the end, I show off some more of the photos of the event.











and this was Mummymon writing into my conhon... the cutest entry so far. It showed a little Mummymon in human form, saying “I like spiders, they use to eat their males.”
