1. A Day at the Con

Wednesday September, 3

"There are conventions, then there is the great and commercially powerful UniverMax. UniverMax is one of the world's foremost powerful of conventions. Where all people from professional geeks to the hard-core gamer. Mass media conglomerates to small start-ups but it's all the same. It's the ultimate make-or-break battleground for those who want to make their stuff shine and forever bare the bragging rights for being the best.

So I was thinking, what does it have to do with the studio? Well it was a matter of flip-flopping from my boss when last year he wanted to make it clear that the studio doesn't need to prove itself by showing itself off by going to cons that that was until the movie "Parker's Way" became a box office bomb. So me and the rest of the staff were sort on red alert to get everything that they need to prepare for the event. Including a failed attempt to take up more space than we can ever handle. But we got a fourth of an aisle space to display most of our new movies and hope to get "Parker's Way" out of the way. *heh*.

As a courtesy from the studio, I get a all-access pass to the restricted places around the convention from the looks of things I try my best not to act like a spy but in the end I ended up being the hottest woman in the con after I left the doors. I mean, I didn't know they make t-shirts this big!" It was a lazy day for her to fly all the way to Anaheim so so managed to arrange for a character plane in her human form all the way there. Jet lag was no stranger to her the moment Sarah arrived at the hotel and collapsed on the doorway of her room. But after hours of heavy sleep and a good change of clothes, She was ready to head off to the biggest commercial conventions in North America, UniverMax. Wearing just normal clothing and in human form sit would feel nice to walk around the grounds of the convention without really standing out as a hulking dragon woman all day. Enjoying the sights and getting a load off of the new previews of the latest that the convention as to offer, Comic book artists, the hottest movie directors, the newest stars to hit the big and little screen were all there. And and so are the principal staple group of the entire event. The Geeks.

Every where you turn there they are. Whipping out their cameras to record the trailers to upload to YouTube and diving into heated debates with others on important subjects that make the political pundits look like pussies. Sarah has gotten the sample of it all, signed comics, movie trailers and even immerse herself in those heated debates with the crowd when dealing with the shows that her studio produces. Though Sarah never spilled the details the info was more than enough to blow even the most seasoned geek out of the water. Working for Twin Studios does have it's benefits. The next up was to finally check up on the Twin Studios section where the latest movies were previewed there including the season premiere of Mutliverse Unlimited and nearly jumping from the shout out from a familiar face. It was none other than Pachua, the massive red dragoness sporting a really sexy two piece. Well sexy when you sporting only a 50XL t-shirt and the biggest pants you can sport for one who's muscles can rip out of them with the slightest movement. Sarah was still human, with a sleek body and not an ounce of muscle on her, how can Pachua possibly know it was her when she walked up to her and can't help feeling shadowed by her incredible bulk. Her answer was coated in laughter that dragons can use their sense of smell to I.D. people as easily as spotting people from their fingerprints. A feature that Sarah herself forgot she can also do.

Pachua was already finished with signing autographs and shooing away the three-block-long line of fans waiting to get her signature or just to gawk at her gargantuan body and walks with her but not without telling the site supervisor that she's going with someone. The to converse and Pachua couldn't help to hold back and mention how "small" Sarah is even mockingly placing a big clawed finger on her head in a fickle attempt to prove her point. But she reminds her that she can shift back to her dragon form and take her one if she wanted to but she won't because (in a sneer comeback) it's nice to actually fit through most doorways. A touche moment for Sarah. When asked about her big blue boyfriend, Xendrian, Pachua said that he's in Paris promoting the new season doing the same thing she is. Last time she heard from him, he was getting a workout from lifting two full tanker cars.

The sounds of a crowd cheering from the main stage area drowned out their conversation and curiosity has gotten the best of them as they peered on and discover that it was the show's premiere stage show where costumed characters actually make out fight scenes from movies or out from scratch and see who's the winner. Watching contestant after contestant go at each other in a wide range of motions from crowd-pleasing shows of practice, the laughter of the comedic moves and defeats to the unforgiving boos of occasional tossing of objects for bad performances. Seeing enough to know what to do Sarah tells Pachua go inside the crowd while she whips out her credit cards and runs to the nearest costume booth.

Minutes later Pachua waits in the crowds sticking out like a big red sore thumb in a sea of people of various species waiting for the final performance and the stage goes dark. There was this goofy-looking knight wearing a poorly made costume named Gus stood alongside a better dressed warrior named Richard who coincidentally was one of the idiots Sarah was in a heated debate with. Previously the two argued who was the better fighter type in the fantasy genre. It was all going to be played out once and for all on the stage. On the opposite side came a tall figure donned in long boots that reached up to her thighs, Donned with a long flowing loincloth with the sides riding up high around her curvaceous hips, stomach exposed and a top with a diamond hole to show off her cleavage donned in a long flowing cape and staff in hand. Pachua and the crowd couldn't believe that was actually Sarah behind the persona she deemed herself as "Mistress Marianne".

The fight was good and even impressed a few until Marianne pulled a little trick up her sleeve. She pulled out a small orb and throw it to the ground while laughing manically. The two knights wondered what happened. Then a large pair of muscular wings shot out from the clouds and the voice grew deeper and more intimidating. With a single flap the clouds were gone and standing before them is the same woman but this time towering before them at over fifteen feet tall and packing real muscle complete with a overstuffed top. Flexing her muscles and letting out a flame-filled roar the crowed cheered at such a performance not as much as Pachua who looks like she's becoming a fan of Sarah and cheered on to see her kick those two losers out of the stage.

The battle was on as both Richard and Sarah now in her hulking form duke it while a laughter from the stage came through as Gus backs away knowing it was too much to handle. Sarah saw this and thinks of a personal opportunity to give the guy a special chance but first she has to deal with the pro. With a single tail whip he brought Richard down on his back before getting back up but Mistress Marianne took the blade end of her staff and slice him down with deadly speed and precision. Richard did cringe at the movements but soon sees that she didn't even touch him. Marianne stated otherwise with a loud snap of her fingers, his thousand dollar suit of armor instantly fell apart leaving him with just his socks and underwear. Getting a huge laugh from the crowd Richard runs off the stage leaving Gus to deal with the titanic dragon. While making a run for it, Marianne leaps over him and stops him in his tracks. Quivering in fear Sarah reassured him that if he plays along he can be the victor playfully suggesting that he deserves a chance. Gus smiled and then they continued with their little game. After a few impressive moves and sudden burst of real sword yielding talent from Gus, he successfully defeated the evil Marianne lying dead on the stage with the makeshift sword in her chest. Getting a victorious gus stands over the body feeling a bit of confidence flowing into him with her help. Gus thanked Sarah after wards and hopes to see her again, With what happened in the past few hours. He can count on it!

The day at the con was coming to end end and after getting I few photo shoots of Sarah as Marianne doing a few muscle flex shots with a few new fans and even Pachua jumping in on the fun. Sarah returned back to her hotel room once again in human form and throwing her costume aside. She looked out at the balcony with a hot tea in hand looking back at today's events and the joy of immersing herself in the fan culture the day didn't became a total loss as she once thought. But for now all she can think about while she sips her tea is on day two of the con and planning the next show with her new friend Gus, the Underdog knight.
