/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I was never really a 'weeb' in the sense of what it is now, but looking back I remember a girl who was and tried to pull me into her twisted world.

In grade 7 Gundam Wing was starting to get popular with my group of friends. One day a friend (we will call her Tess) quickly shoved a note in my hand and told me not to read it until I get home, it was 'top secret' info. Get home and inside is a letter detailing how this guy 'Matt' has been protecting me from this evil organization, that the gundams were real, and his code name was 'Duo'. I laugh as it is all totally in her handwriting. Next day I go to school and find out 3 of my other friends got similar notes (each one from a different main character from Gundam Wing) We all laugh it off, humour her some. Then she gets really crazy insisting that we had to wear all denim on a certain day, tried to get me to break into this summer home near me because 'Matt' was being held captive there, and all this crazy shit. She honestly would NOT stop until my friends and I got together, told her we switched sides and wrote a fake note detailing how we killed these imaginary guys.

A few months later Escaflowne became the big thing. Tess brought in fake news articles stating that scientists had discovered a planet that orbits behind the moon and may hold life. She proceeds to try to convince us that the world of Escaflowne is real and she is in touch with Vaughn. She even went out and bought a necklace like Hitomi's. At this point we all stopped talking to her because we saw how 'humoring' her just makes her more scary.
