Jackson smiled back thankful that the awkwardness would end or at least be not as focused on him, he gestured his hand towards Sue and said Laura "Come, let us sit with the others"

[KatherinWinter]

Briza said
Laura quickly looked over at Sue, "That sounds wonderful," she said plainly, hoping the word 'wonderful' would do its job in explaining her excitement. She hoped she did not come off as cynical. She probably sounded rude to Sue, she kept making negative comments. The least she could do was be nice as nice to the closest person to her, which was none other than Jackson, and hopefully, not creep him out. So, she let out an awkward smile at Jackson. The auditorium was supposed to solve all of their problems. She wasn't sure just how, perhaps, a closed off area. . For containment, ah, the word, containment.

"Good." Sue lead the easy to the big room/ she was hoping having chairs would help some of them relax.

When Michael arrived at the convention he was surprised to see so many people. He was filled with excitement to see there were so many people that care enough about role playing. He was wearing a black shirt with the heartless sign from kingdom hearts and blue skinny jeans with grey DC shoes. He couldn't wait to meet some of his fellow role players.

[Clockykiller]

Sits down next to no one. "Geez, a lot of people are here" blows some red-Brown hair out of face.

Sue was encouraged to see the others auditorium. She saw a new arrival. Thankfully he had arrived before they left the hall. She called out. "This way."

Straightens steampunk goggles on head. Looks at clothes. Dark brown shirt with tan vest, short dark brown skirt, lace leggings, and brown boots. "I think I'll be good...." smiles and looks back up.

[Clockykiller]

"Lets see what she has in mind" looks around then looks at Sue.

[Vortex]

Since they did not get off to one of the best starts in the world Jackson sat a few seats away from Laura but close enough to maintain conversation without shouting from across the room.

[Clockykiller]

Wait for the convention to start. Pulls down goggles to see closer.

[SniperWolfv]

Michael heard Sue call and quickly followed. He looked around for somewhere to sit. "Hmm. where to sit? AH why do you always do this? You get nervous to sit next to someone because you think it will be weird. I'm just going to sit here." Michael thought to himself as he sit away from everyone. He kept looking around as if he would see someone he knew or if someone would wave him over. "Your a marine vet and you can't sit next to anyone." Michael thought nodding his head. He knew he liked to have an exit though if anything happened, somewhere he could find cover and lead others out. He continued looking around and thought to himself about what a weirdo he was.

[Clockykiller]

Thinks."I may be known as Steampunk Natalie ,but what a weird girl I must look like but who cares what I frickin look like we're all role-players here.....right?" Looks at clothes again then at some hair in face blows it away. Thinks."this is going to be a long day...."

[Clockykiller]

Waits patiently. Looks around for someone who might want to talk.

[SniperWolfv]

Michael looked around for someone his age. He wanted to talk to someone but he didn't want to creep out anyone. Most people didn't like his sense of humor and he could come off as obnoxious. He caught eye contact with Natalie as she looked around. He smile and thought how he probably looked like a creep. He looked down and nodded embarrassed.

[KatherinWinter]

"Alright boys and girls." Sue moved to the front of the group. She would just pretend they were her cousins. "I know most of our shy and social awkward. But we come here to met the people behind the screen name and that's what we are going to do. So I want you to all stand up and move closer."

Myah flinched, she stood outside of the convention center. Her parents sat in a small car, waiting for her to go on without them. She picked at her fingernails, a sure sign that she was nervous. How could she not be though? She was new on the forum, so no one would know her, she was also a kid. A kid in a place full of adults, her mother and father had left without her noticing so she was definitely alone. How would she defend herself? You got this, eye of Merlot(my pet kitten) She punched the air, and nodded to herself. "I got this." She whispered, trudging forwards and into the convention.

Bad idea, bad idea...I should have went with mom, at least then I would have gotten a candy bar. She started to bite the inside of her cheeks, where were all the people? She thought she heard talking in another section, but she wasn't sure. She was lost, she didn't know where to go and she couldn't see anyone. She made her way through empty stands, hoping to find someone and closing her eyes, hoping to hit a wall. Maybe she could knock herself out. Then she would get to go home early. She sighed, opening one eye and turning to scope out her surroundings. She would have to ask for directions, and if she learned anything from her mom, asking directions was a last resort. "If only dad were here, he could start a conversation with a stranger."

So she started walking, walking towards the voices and away from the silence. So much fun.

Michael stood up and moved closer to the others. He sat next to Laura and said "Nothing like being forced into that awkward bubble huh? I'm MIke." He said hoping hoping he wasn't coming off weird.
