Looking for Marta

Looking for Marta — Hall B, comic expo, Barcelona, 2016

Hall B, comic expo, Barcelona, Spain Autumn 2016, afternoon

We queued together for nearly two hours outside Hall B and by the end we had invented an entire backstory for the guy in front of us. She fixed my broken badge lanyard with a safety pin from her cape. We agreed to meet at the same spot the next day and my phone died before I could take her handle. I stood there for an hour. If you were the hero with the safety pins, I still owe you a coffee.

What they remember about them

Around late 20s at the time · female · Cosplayed as a lightning-bolt hero, safety pin holding the cape, laughed at her own jokes first.
