WARNINGS: Likely nothing
Natalie had never been to anything like this before in her life. Everyone around her was excited and going crazy over things she barely understood at all, and doing so while dressed up in some really outlandish and amazing costumes. (Natalie, having no such costume she could wear, had chosen to just don a red cheongsam as she was pretty sure she could remember someone wearing one in a video game and figure that, at some point, a character must have worn something like it in some anime or other. Either way, it made her feel slightly less out of place.)
Even if she had little idea what was going on, she was enjoying herself anyway. She tried not to look like a complete loser who didn't know anything - even though that was exactly what she was - and she'd even bought some comic books to read in the hotel later, having no idea whether they were good or not. She'd picked them solely because she thought the art was pretty.
She also had, in the same bag, a Iron Man action figure that she was going to take home and introduce to her small shelf of other figures. They would be best friends and have movie superhero parties, Natalie would command it.
