the melbourne ultimatum - ausmeet 2015 (all over red rover)

[Oman]

Oh first week of July. Shitty week for me. I'm pretty much out all July. I hope we'll do some more of these and have a blast, but it won't be this month for me.

[DeasVail]

Espeonage and I have booked flights early in the morning of the 2nd July, and late Sunday evening.

[N]

I don't think I've posted it here yet, but I'm unlikely to be coming during the week. My current plan is to maybe roadtrip Friday night after work, but idk!

[Cheery Dog]

That seems kind of pointless when you'd have to road trip back sunday night presumably. It earlier knowing what time your shifts often start got monday.

[AcRv]

My heart says yes, but my wallet says no.

I'm looking forward to the next meet, assuming one is planned.

[2birds1stone]

I've checked my schedule and my travel options and other shit, but things just aren't quite coming together.

Will totally aim to go to the next one if this one goes well enough for there to be a next one.

[DeasVail]

I am at Espeonage's hotel, so I'm calling this as having officially begun!

[Espeonage]

MUTHA FUKIN HYPE TRAIN

[Hanasawa]

I don't mind telling MS what happened on the day if I can actually remember things in general. I'll probably be on my phone writing stuff down that was great and then taking pictures with people who want their pictures taken that will inevitably be blurry...

Otherwise you just get a text summary but nevertheless this is happening today and hopefully we'll be posting everything that's happening right as it happens in real time.

[Hanasawa]

Met up, Om got lost on the way and took the wrong exit, met up at State Library instead. Really windy, eye and Espe talking about Pokemon, DV being awesome always and Om talking about a model he might know. We then decided to go the hotel that DV and Espe are staying together.

[Om of the Nom]

"I should have done you"

My summary of Day 1:

Spoiler: Hello from the better half of the aussie crew (minus Mikazuki)

(DV, Espeonage, Eyestott, Hanasawa(Lily), Me)

We played a cute card game brought by Lily and she ended up winning in a clutch victory.
We got Nando's for lunch and it was super great because I love chicken :)
I laughed so hard that I nearly ran out of air on at least 5 occasions.
"Fuckable Hair"
Everyone is flirting with everyone.
DV is super duper great and nice as heck :)

Spoiler: Espe, Eye, DV and Lily play the Game of Thrones boardgame

Everyone was trying to work against Espe.
I took a cute selfie with DV!!

Somewhere along the line the plan was a tour of the city for the Sydney-scummers but we spent most of the time in the hotel room whoops.

[Quilford]

Haaaa, looks great. I'm jellyyyyy

[Cheery Dog]

Haaaa, looks great. I'm jellyyyyy

This.

Stupid other crap I'm not as interested in but happen to be more needed.

Plan further in advance next time please.

[DeasVail]

DV AND ESPE: THE FIRST 24 HOURS

-DV arrives at the hotel. Confuses Espe by turning up at the hotel room (what else was I supposed to do, gosh). Sleep ensues.
-Did not get randomly selected at the airport. Flight was delayed, but zero fucks given. Espe flails in excitement.
-Landed in Melbourne safely. Shuttle caught into the cbd and free transfer to hotel. Remarkably efficient considering lack of prior planning! Espe flails in excitement.
-Both DV and Espe determine the lifts are scum trying to lynch them.
-Eye arrives at hotel (right after we do, perfect timing!) and the pentatonix fanboying begins.
-Espe rages at 'clock' that is actually a fobwatch.
-Meet Om and Lily in town. Om says it's Christmas because of all the hot guys. Teaches DV to look out for hot guys.
-We show everyone the hotel. Played Love Letter, which Lily brought and then won, because she's a cheater of course.
-Espe demands Nando's and tries to explain what fuckable hair means. He fails dismally.
-Eating occurs at hotel room.
-GoT board game played. Everyone gangs up on Espe, causing Eye to win.
-Om needs to go home.
-Espe goes to sleep. Meanwhile, we all took the opportunity to cuddle him, which he did not realise had occurred until later. Truth or dare begins, during which DV makes a complete fool of himself completing the only successful dare of the afternoon.
-Espe wakes.
-[REDACTED]
-Thoroughly worn out and with the hotel room exceeding a comfortable temperature, we set off for dinner. Eye gets night killed by parentals and it's 3P LYLO.
-Lily and Espe show DV the wonders of Schnitz.
-Lily gets mislynched. Turns out everyone was town.
-Espe spots a bowling alley, and a plan to get revenge on Regfan is formed. DV comments on how shit he is. Gets a strike on first bowl. However, is beaten three times by Espe, who breaks his record high score. Shows himself worthy to take on the current champion, Regfan.
-Head back to hotel room to get ready for Day 2.

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS

Number of people DV walked into: 6 (including Espe) Conclusion that DV can't walk, or in fact do anything, straight.
Number of hot guys DV noticed: 0
Number of hot guys in area: Too many to count (according to Om)

MELBOURNE: WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

-It's so green! Espe flails in excitement.
-Trams! Espe flails in excitement.
-Yellow taxis! Espe flails in excitement.
-Two Nando's! Espe flails in excitement.
-People actually wait for the green man before crossing. DV and Espe demonstrate the ways of a true Australian.

Redacted was the best part of the meet for me...

[Om of the Nom]

Day 2 summary:

Everyone but Mikazuki arrived in the hotel room to hang with DV before Espe even woke up.
We were all just chilling have good conversation, occasionally watching Espe toss in his sleep.
Eventually we go to try and wake up Espe, Eye jumps in his bed and cuddles him from behind.
He literally whispered "Sweet Nothings" into Espe's ears and Espe just cracked up.
Eye and Espe continued cuddling so I cuddled with DV to spite them.

"BPC can deal with it!!"

- DV and nearly everyone else in the meet on multiple occasions
Lily joined the hug train by hugging DV and I
Lily left the hugging train and eventually after more talking Espe joined our hug train, followed by Eye.
Cue 3 guys crushing DV in a pile of cuddles.

We played a couple of games of resistance, Eye and I won both times, as town the first (Lily/DV spys) and as the Spys in the next game.
DV is always scum, even as town.
Everyone seemed to be convinced I was town in the second game, which I'm still in disbelief of, but Espe accidentally saw Eye's card so we had to call the game (consensus says my team won).
Shortly after, we dashed off to get lunch and meet Mikazuki.

Mika came by and we had to hurriedly order food so we could eat before the karaoke booking expired (hooray for Schnitz again)
Cue about 5 hours straight of karaoke.

Spoiler: Karaoke time

(Me, Espe, DV, Lily) (not present in photo: Eye and Mika)

Everyone was having a ton of fun.
Music was super loud.
We got DV to sing more songs it was great.
Eye put us all to shame with his actually great singing (I'm still spiteful).
Everyone laughs at me singing (not because I'm bad but because I'm having fun with it hehe).
Apparently I killed it on Grace Kelly.
More high notes were hit than in my wildest dreams.
"Fuckable nails!"
DV and I pretend to be straight but we both fail horribly.
Eye sung the infamous John Legend song, "All of me", to Espe, who was instantly seduced by his charm and voice.

"How are you single!?!?"

- Espe to Eye
Mika and Lily sing some Japanese songs together.
At the end of it all we all jam it out to Bohemian Rhapsody hardcore for a lovely finish.
Not before Eye puts us to shame one last time, of course, with his rendition of 'Superstition'.

Everyone held hands to lead me back to the station so I could catch the train home.
Night time train rides are fun :)
