Logan was... more than a little self-conscious about his cosplay of Dr. Bunya, truth be told.

It wasn't just that it was crossplaying, mind, though that was part of it. But part of it was just... Logan still associated dressing up as a character from some game or show or whatever with Halloween costumes, with little kid stuff. It wasn't what adults did. It wasn't what serious people did, the kind who would go far in life, and he did want to be that kind of person down the road, really.

But Logan figured there was no better way to shake off that feeling than to go to the Artist's Corner, grab a quick STAMP, and see all the other people cosplaying there, too. Not only would he be among like-minded souls, but hey, his costume couldn't be the worst of the bunch, could it?

And no, no it wasn't... but that only helped a bit, truth be told. Because his costume was far from the best of the bunch, too. For every "cosplay" that was clearly thrown together with items the person had already owned in their costume, there was a cosplay that was hand-sewn, the product of a true labor of love, hours of time and effort poured into a single outfit to be shown off here.

That wasn't Logan here, either. He'd bought the items for his Bunya costume as they were, with the lack of customization required being part of what had drawn him to the character in the first place. The outfit could look like regular street clothes at a glance, which was nice for fitting in everywhere else, but here it just made him feel like an amateur.

Too nerdy for regular life, too regular for nerd life... Logan knew the feeling all too well, but he detested it just the same.
