ACen
Well, another ACen come and gone. I wish I had a few more hours to just walk around the con, but otherwise it was a total kickass con. First, we got these awesome executive suite parlors, which worked much better than the average hotel room, and cost less, too! Secondly, Masquerade totally r0x0red. There were some *gorgeous* costumes, including a Maestro Delphine, a Rosalie, and Yubaba with a giant head. And omg, all the skits were actually *funny*, and *pre-recorded*, and *well-choreographed*. Not only was it quicker and of much higher quality than previous years, there was no downtime. Even though the judges were delayed in making a decision, there was first this really cute j-pop singer (half our group got totally wibbly), and afterwards, the DJ put on various disco music and congo lines were formed for YMCA, etc. The green room suddenly became a bunch of happy nuts running around and dancing. A bunch of very well dressed nuts, but nuts nonetheless. (Including a King of the Cosmos that had *sparkly lights*) So there was no angst of waiting, and the sound system worked with nary a glitch, and ... omg it was the best Masquerade evAH.
As for the skits, we submitted two.

Setting: A woman’s locker room at the Ohtori Academy.

LOCKER maneuvers to stage center with help of EX1, EX2, who begin lockerly
activities like drying hair and chatting. UTENA and TG walk to stage left where
they begin having a mimed conversation.
0:04
YOMIKO steps onstage from stage right, walking slowly and engrossed in a BOOK
As YOMIKO is close to Center, MIKAGE runs onstage
MIKAGE: “Hey! Come back here!”
YOMIKO stops at DISPENSER and turns to face the audience, still engrossed in her book. UTENA and TG pause momentarily and look at MIKAGE but then go back to conversation. Mikage circles Yomiko, looming. Perhaps grabbing her shoulders and shake gently
0:16
MIKAGE: "Duel with her! What do you want? Wealth? Power? Men? [pause] Women?”
YOMIKO ignores him, flipping a page.
0:27
MIKAGE, annoyed, pushes book down to face Yomiko: “Deeper, Go Deeper”
YOMIKO stands up dazed, locates the book in MIKAGE’s hand and makes distracted grab.
0:32
MIKAGE keeps several steps before her, leading her on a circuit from far stage
right to next to UTENA. All the while, YOMIKO is crying weakly “My book! Give me
my book!”
At UTENA, MIKAGE suddenly thrusts the book into her hands.
0:38
MIKAGE (pointing): “Look! Now you have no choice but to revolutionize
the world!”
Holding YOMIKO back, MIKAGE pins a BLACK ROSE to YOMIKO’s chest.
UTENA (startled): “But I...”
UTENA turns, holding the BOOK in her hands
MIKAGE: [to UTENA] SILENCE! [turns to YOMIKO, points to UTENA] REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD!
0:45
YOMIKO looks angry, and brandishes her Paper Whip. UTENA hands the BOOK to TG and steps back, making warding gestures. TG stays behind UTENA and starts reading. Duel commences between Utena's towel and Yomiko's whip and shield. Meanwhile, Seifuku girls poke at Mikage, who loops behind the lockers and re-emerges behind the action, perhaps seeking to hide behind the locker. Seifuku girls grab poof-rod from locker and commences beatdown.
Utena's towel gets tangled in Yomiko's whip. Yomiko drops the shield and runs to Paper towel dispenser to get sword. UTENA dips TG and shouts:
1:20
UTENA: “Grant me the power to revolutionize the world!”
UTENA grabs off the CENSOR BARS (revealing pixilated costume areas) and snaps
them into a SWORD and faces off with YOMIKO
Fight resumes with swords. Seifuku girls pick up Yomiko's paper shield and conks Mikage, who collapses to the side of the stage
At about 1:50, EX2 reaches into LOCKER and pulls out a ROSE UMBRELLA.
1:56
Final blow crossing. EXTRA spins the UMBRELLA.
MIKI runs on stage right with a GIANT STOPWATCH (with 2:00 showing on the face) and stands upstage center, plunking down the STOPWATCH as he arrives.
MIKI then slaps the STOPWATCH’s button and all action freezes.
1:59
MIKI: 2 Minutes! Time’s up!
All remain still – crickets chirp – sound of dropped locker room sign, then all
gather up props and dash offstage stage left. Locker needs to be ushered off.
THE END
The Katamari skit won best skit. Yay!
As for the skits, we submitted two.
