Borrowing gear for Chimera

Wellington
#1

Hola! in order to lessen things that need to be taken up to auckland and In order for me to borrow a couple of things for costumes i was wondering if the 04 crowd had a few things for me to borrow.

things I would like to borrow

  1. a larp sword or two, I am in the jade empire game. so I kind need a daisho ( short and long combo) for my character. In that is last round

  2. a kimono - I am having trouble finding a kimono that fits a chunky brother. For the same game.

  3. a sword for a knight on friday night

in return I may have space to take stuff up to the con in my car

#2

I’ll have a sword you can use for Friday night Paul.

#3

What colour kimono, Paul (what clan are ya?)

#4

This reminds me, we have borrowed 2 boxes of gear from Wellington for the Gordian Knot. Norman has already brought them to Auckland, and they are currently at my place. Will anyone have space for taking these 2 boxes back to Wellington after Chimera? One is a white plastic box with lid, the other is similar volume cardboard box with Christmas lights, so has a bot of weight to it.

#5

You’re welcome to my “Samurai” sword from paddywhack.co.nz for Jade Empire in the last round, if it goes with your costume.

#6

I’ve ordered a Kimono on Trademe for the Gordian Knot, which you’re welcome to borrow if it fits.

#7

Mountain clan. So according to the info I have Clan Colours: Brown, Gold and White

#8

I can’t gauarantee space, but I could endevour to bring them back if they fit.

#9

Sorry, just found out from Ryan this won’t be here in time for Chimera. So I’ll be needing to borrow a sword myself.

#10

Water clan. So according to the info I have Clan Colours: dark blue, dark green, and silver[/quote]

Ok, sorry - I’ve nothing in those colours. Would it be appropriate for you to wear a hakima and gi? I’ve a set of those in dark blue (but expect you might as well…).

#11

I only have black gi, so If I can find another top I am good.

#12

I’ll dig out the blue gi I have somewhere and let you know the size (assuming it’s got some kind of size indicator on it). Will try and do this tonight :slight_smile:

#13

I have a woodland 104cm sword someone can borrow for chimera… I’m not going so I won’t need it!

#14

I have a blue kimono you can borrow Paul. It’s really big on me. I don’t know how big you’re wanting but you’re welcome to try it.

#15

I fund one tucked into the coat section at the back of rebound yesterday thanks for all the offers but I do not need a kimono anymore.
it almost fits as well, at least it won’t rip when moving.
YAY!
