Leave it to a squirrel player to be nuts for philanthropy! Blorg's Hobby Shop will have a bulk box or two out for folks to look through in the spirit of 'take a card, leave a penny', with all proceeds from it going towards the local Metro Trans Umbrella Group. Take a peek in between panels!

The poll results have spoken, but the counts were close.
@gatewayfate.bsky.social lineup!

Sphene Saturday

Hythlodaeus for Amaurot Prom, but I’ll play that one by ear depending on if I have time to change.

Rufus on Sunday (assistants in Tseng and Reno). Not wearing coat until after lunchtime.

-Symphony of the Past-
Inspired by the Scions symphony painting, I have to do one for my beloved ancients 😭 #Hythlodaeus #EmetSelch #Themis #Venat #Hermes #AzemZoe #FFXIV

I do agree! Rufus would have to be dressed down for a chunk of the day. Two of my assistants are wearing Tseng and Reno 😅

Our cosplay gatherings were a hit last year, and we’re pleased to announce they’ll be making a return! Join us Saturday at 10:00am for some outdoor fun before the hall opens, or Sunday after the cosplay contest concludes at 3:00pm. All Final Fantasy themed cosplay is welcome!

Yes LOL

We have a discord channel with gathering info; it’s also a friendly community! discord.gg/JTZGmyfeN
The “Scions General” thread (each day has a theme but not required) has a shot lists that you can reference if you need to step over to the fountain between shots.

There are also small lounge spots on lower level behind the escalator like this one

Additionally, the lower level of the hotel has this nice indoor fountain that reminds me of Ul’dah

We’ll be doing a big cosplay gathering outside Saturday at 10am, before the hall opens. The fountain nearby is a great spot for small groups and solos!

For context, I’ll likely be in Sphene on Saturday since she’s the new costume and that’s when I’ll be at my table.

Sunday I’m staffing cosplay contest, so I prefer to be a “friendly” character that is simple to wear. Most folks won’t be seeing me until the gathering unless you’re in the contest.

And then last night Tyler says she plans to bring Tseng, Ethen responds he’ll bring Reno, and then I ponder if I should bring Rufus 😂

That might be too much. I think in the end I’ll probably do my symphony fit Hythlodaeus.

To be continued

We are less than two weeks away, and I’m still indecisive about my second Gateway costume. Been leaning towards Hythlodaeus, but then a tiny voice in my brain tells me to bring G’raha (again)

Someone's about to be caught in the forbidden section of the library again... 💦
