/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

The folowing occurred about 20 minutes ago, on the bus home from work.

I pulled out my phone to check the time. The wallpaper on it, which has been unchanged for years, is a sneering Suigintou. A kid of around high-school age, let's say 17, was sitting nearby and noticed. "Hey," he pipes up, "so you like anime?"
"Some of it, not most," I reply.
He brings up Soul Eater and Dr Stein, I mention Franken-Fran in exchange as a comparison. So far, it's a ittle nerdy but okay.
And then.
"So you know about the jutsus, right? You know how some of them are real?"
~~OH BOY HERE WE GO~~
He proceeds to tell me about how there are mystic powers that science can't explain, and that ninjas are real and can train themselves under an Elder to use magic. I'm trying not to laugh. Damn it, I'm trying. I can't hold it in. Thankfully, I'm saved as a friend of his boards the bus, and pulls his attention away from me but not from the subject matter.
Apparently, there are Mysical Bings in the world, empowered by The Lord to fight evil. He's studying to become one. He's already a warrior who can channel the Black Rage (which I thought was exclusive to the Black Panthers) and has the soul of an angel living in his body that helps him learn magical powers. Also, he can make his eyes change color.
I made it to my stop, took a deep breath to collect my sanity, and came straight here to report. Through all the cons I've been to, I'd never had anything for these threads before. Thanks for reading.
