Mini and Komi discuss: MiniComi

Komi: Ah....this tea is so delicious~ *dreamy look*
Mini: Komi, we're recording already...
Komi: Eh?! 0A0

*title screen drops in*

Mini and Komi discuss!
MiniComi!
What is this new fabulous event??

*Fads*

Mini: Good night, everyone! Welcome to our first episode of Mini and Komi discuss! I'm Mini--
Komi: I'm Komi. And today's topic is--
Mini & Komi: MiniComi!
Mini:??!
Komi:??!!??
Mini & Komi: MiniComi!
Mini: >:D
Komi: :D
Mini & Komi: Mini-
 ???: OH STOP IT YOU TWO! It takes a lot of time to change the colors of the font you know! 
-皿-#
Mini & Komi: Sorry~~~~~ ^^;;;
Komi: The rainbow effect was just so amusing for us...


Komi: So, what do you think about MiniComi, Mini?
Mini: It's mostly like Comiket right? Should be fun!
Komi: Well, not exactly. Comiket in Japan is more concentrated on the distribution of doujinshis (fan manga), right? Sadly, there are fewer doujin circles around Vancouver, so not all of the tables will have doujins.
Mini: That's okay! While we only have a couple of doujin circles, there are plenty of other artists too! Not to mention craftsmen as well! There's quite a few fan artists' prints that I'm looking forward to seeing, not to mention of the the original comic's publications! Komi, what are you looking forward to?
Komi: I really want to check out some of the craftsmen selling dessert or food related crafts. I want to put those up as decorations at my food stall! I've been lacking them as of late, and was wondering if I could put some up. 
Mini: Aren't you afraid that some of your customer might take them? XD
Komi: Well, if they really like them, I don't mind really. But then I'll tell them to go and buy more at MiniComi and give one back to me. XD
Mini: Ahahahahaha! XD


Komi: Mini, I know you're definitely looking forward to the cosplay.
Mini: Of course I am! You have to come and take pictures for me!
Komi: Of course! XD
Mini: It's nice that they are keeping it open to cosplay despite it being public event. Hope everyone will be on their best behavior!
Komi: Will you be cosplay at the after market concert too?
Mini: Of course I will! It's also a free event too! Hope lot's of people will come!
Komi: I'm looking forward to Final aNix's performance! They're awesome!
Mini: Yep! Hope to see everyone at 7pm then! ^_^


Mini: Ah...but one of the planners was saying to me it's really hard to plan this event because so many things are free...(she was practically crying about it...poor her - -;;;).
Komi: I know...I remember doing a free food day at my stall... my heart bled a bit too...
Mini: Yeah...but she says she's hoping that lots of people will support them and buy the door prize tickets. All the proceeds there will go towards paying for this year's event! Any extra will be used for planning the next MiniComi. 
Komi: What are the door prizes though?
Mini: Hm...let's see. For $2 a ticket, you get a chance each in two categories. One is the artist prizes, which consist of donated items from the artists participating from the event. These can be discount or gift cards for items at their stall, free items or on-site commissions.
Komi: Artists-san, thanks for all the donations! (We're still looking for more! Email minicomivancouver@gmail.com if you have yet to participate and wish to!)
Mini: The other one is the MiniComi prize, which has three prizes. These are prizes donated to us from the UBC Anime Club and the MiniComi planning team. Oh! and the prize draw times are divided into three different times. They are at 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm. This is so that people who come later during the event will also get a chance to the draw as well. There will be numerous artist prizes per draw time, and only one MiniComi prize each time.
Komi: Wow. I wonder what those MiniComi prizes will be...
Mini: I wonder too...I heard there's an a*transmission interrupted*, and then there's a pair of p*transmission interrupted*, and the last one is something like a set of V--*transmission interrupted*
Komi: Huh? Really?! 0A0 Those are really great prizes!
Mini:...I only heard them from Ninja-san though. Though normally his intel is pretty accurate...
Komi: Aaaaahhhh I really want the p*transmission interrupted*!
Mini: Ahahaha, why? XD
Komi: Because it's special! Someone actually went and *transmission interrupted*!
Mini: Put it up at your food stall! It'll be like an advertisement!
Komi: Ahahahahaha! The customers will probably asked where I got it, and where they can get the same service too. XD

Mini: So that's all about MiniComi today! We hope to see everyone there!
Komi: If any one has any questions about MiniComi, feel welcome to leave a comment below! We'll be glad to answer them! 

Edit:
Ninja: *sigh* These guys area so forgetful sometimes...
Ninja: MiniComi 2011 is set to happen on 23rd of July, 2011 (a Saturday) at the UBC Student Union Building Ballroom. The market will run from 10am to 5pm, the concert is at 7pm, and door prize draws are at 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm! Door prize tickets will be on sale at the event, at the price of $2 a ticket, and you get 1 free every five you buy! Hope to see you all there!

An Introduction: part 2

Mini: Hi all! *waves* We're back! And this time, I thought we should formally introduce ourselves! So I'm Mini....
Ninja: Ninja.
Komi: Ow....And I'm Komi...my neck still hurts....
Mini: Ah...some one already went and posted our information up!
Komi: Really? Where?
Mini: Under the "About Mascots" section...(eh? We're mascots?)

Click here to go to the About Mascots page!

Ninja: ...Even I'm on there... (-  -|||)
Mini: A...Ahahahaha....it's okay Ninja-san. At least you didn't get labeled like we did...
Komi: I'm inclined to agree with their personality profile for Mini.
Mini: Excuse me? -_-#

Ninja: Hm?...They used Mini-san's real name there...but Komi-san's nickname only.
Komi: Well, I guess they had to fit the "MiniComi" pronunciation, right?

Mini: Even though your actual name is "Shin"....ehehehehe....XD
Komi: I was new to Kanji okay? I mixed them up!
Ninja: I still can't believe you forgot how to write your name for all those years...
Komi: I didn't know I was writing it wrong! T_T
Mini: But you never realized we were calling you by the wrong name either!
Komi: ........

Mini: And of course, our shared birthday~
Komi: The event is actually happening on our birthday this year.
Mini: It'll be like a huge party for us! I'm so looking forward to cosplaying! ^_^
Komi: I'm gonna need to clear out the memory on my camera...
Ninja: Mini-san, Komi-san, which one of you is older actually?
Mini&Komi: I am.
Ninja: .......
Mini: Weren't you born in the evening? I was born in the morning!
Komi: But if you take the time difference into account, I'm older than you by three hours.
Mini: ...Ah...you're right....
Komi: Ninja-san, when's your birthday?
Ninja: That's a secret.
Komi: But...but I wanted to try out this new ninja themed birthday cake...;_;.

Mini: Ah! They revealed my height on there!!
Komi: What? Is that a problem?
Mini: No~~~~~ It's suppose to be 165! 165!!!
Komi: Missing those 5 centimeters won't kill you...you can just wear heels ==U.
Mini: Komi! It's all your fault for being so tall!
Komi: What? What about Ninja-san?! He's --
Ninja: SH~~~~~! THAT'S A SECRET!!!!
Komi: *muffled shouts*

Mini: Eh....don't reveal my blood type too! It's embarassing...
Komi: I'm more interested on who gave these information to them...
...
*Both glares at Ninja*
Ninja:...Not me! I swear!...it's still a secret though.
Mini&Komi: So you actually know who it is?!

Mini: Komi, you still draw?
Komi: Occasionally, but I'm spending more time on cooking lately.
Ninja: When do I get my Shroomyaki?
Komi: It's almost ready! I just need to make a couple of changes...T_T
Mini: I want some too! Ah, bring it out to my next cosplay photoshoot! I want my friends to try it too!
Komi: Am I going to have to prepare a huge bento again?...You'll have to drive me then.
Mini: Ah...but I'm taking Honda-kun with me...You're gonna have to ask Ninja-san for a ride.
Komi: Thanks Ninja-san!
Ninja: I don't even know if I can go!
Komi: Then no bento then. Sorry Mi-- 
Mini: *Glare*
Ninja&Komi: ...We'll go. There will be bento.
Mini: *Smile*
Komi: Why do you need to take your Honda with you though?
Ninja: She itasha-ed it to the character she's cosplaying.
Komi: Oh...Remind me to bring my camera. I must post this online.


Komi: Ah! Don't tell people that!
Mini: That you like strawberry parfait? Oh Komi, you never change...
Komi: Well, it's not just ANY strawberry parfait! It's a modified version that uses pancake instead of granola! It's also topped with maple syrup too! As it's name sake, it's PERFECT.
Mini: Every time he talks about food, he gets so enthusiastic...

Komi: Not to mention, the yogurt has to be frozen just right, otherwise the texture would not be right, or you'll get chunky bits of frozen yogurt instead, or the inside isn't frozen well. You can also eat it with maple syrup that has been heated up a bit and--
Ninja: Komi...calm down...this isn't a food channel...
Mini: And as much as I want cheesecake, they're so fattening though...T_T
Komi: I can always make a low calorie one for you.
Mini: You're the best Komi~
Komi: What dessert do you like, Ninja-san?
Ninja: Green tea Mochi.
Mini&Komi: He answered!
Ninja: At the moment...what is was and what it will be is a secret.
Mini&Komi: Or maybe not...

Mini: High school was horrible without you two around...
Ninja: I know...my high school was miserable...
Komi: Really? Mine was okay, actually...
Mini&Ninja: That's because you went overseas!
Komi: My parents said it will be easier for me to get into the university I wanted! You guys did join me afterwards though.
Mini: The application process was so hard for us though. T_T
Ninja: At least I got full scholarship...
Mini: *glare*
Ninja: But you had time to get a job though...I didn't.

Mini: Ah! We spend so long on looking at this page alone! Look at the time!
Komi: I need to head back home...need to prepare for tomorrow's opening.
Mini: Can I reserve a lunch? I'm heading around where you are for fabric shopping.
Ninja: I'll like to reserve too.
Komi: Okay, just don't forget your wallet like last time...
Mini: No worries! I'll buy you your entrance to Grouse Grind!
Komi: Noooooooooooo not again.... *runs away*
Mini: Lazy! You need to improve from your 3 hours at the very least!
Ninja: How did he take that long? ==U
Mini: I don't know, he probably fell asleep half way?
Ninja: Anyhow, next time, we'll be talking about MiniComi! See you next time!
