i have 2 questions about props.  my first question is what is the policy on props for oc (original character) characters ? one of my cosplays is an oc anbu from one of my fanfics im working on and one of my oc's main weapons is a crossbow.the main reason i ask is because of the policy of weapons have to be what charcter usually carries. i have a airsoft crossbow that has the orange tip. if i dont bring any projectiles and have the trigger locked will it still be able to be brought?? i plan to just pose with the crossbow as its my oc's main weapon.  my second question is about my second cosplay. im also going as shawn "the clown" from SLIPKNOT. usually when shawn is on stage he has a black and red baseball bat with him. the bat i am bringing is one of those cheapass hollow plastick bats you can get at the dollar store, and i plan to paint it black and ducktape it with red tape.  will it be okay to bring?  hopefully you can get your anwers back soon, and to everyone have a kickass time at fanime 8)
