It doesn't take long to find him.

"Rose, is he actually..."

"It would appear so."

You have both arrived to a crowd circled around a cosplayer. And not just any cosplayer. A giant smuppet cosplayer.

No guesses as to who is inside it.

You both wait until the round of posing and pictures has ended and then move in to greet Dave.

Because really, who else would cosplay a full mascot Smuppet suit to Anime Expo ironically or not?

>Dave: Take off head of suit and see friends
