[the video starts up and, hello you may recognize this fidgety tall lanky teen here! he might stand out awkwardly around Odin district but also often visits freya district a lot.]

Soo...

[looks like he's got something in his hands, something that resembles a dark green cloak as he turns it in hand thoughtfully.]

I was wondering.. Does anyone know what larping is? Live Action Role-playing? I, uh.. use to do it a lot back home. Figured it could be fun here too. I mean hey, even if you don't know what it is, you could still try it out and see for yourself- it's really fun!

[and he's looking a bit excited at the idea. till, he shrinks back a little, rubbing at his neck sheepishly.] If you want to know more about it, go ahead and ask. I could also try and show a demonstration? 

If any of you do have an idea what it is though that would be cool. Maybe.. we can plan something?

[HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE GUYS.. LARPING.. yeah okay just, gonna end it here. maybe he should think what kind of demonstration.....]

[ but of course, Mike's watching from a bit of a distance as Chuck does his post. he's glad to see that Chuck is branching out from just hanging out with him and Julie - it might be good for all of them to start getting friendly with the other travelers while they're here. it was what brought colour after all, right?

so once the broadcast is done, enter Mike. ]

Need a partner for a demonstration?

[ WOW DON'T JUST COME OUT OF NOWHERE!! never mind he was suppose to be meeting up with you guys anyways but--]

W-- What?

[yeah, seriously, what. ..well, they did help him out during the battle so..]

You mean, you would..? [really mikey, he kinda suspected the battle was a one time thing for the rest of the burners. you know, heat of the moment. not something you'd actually consider indulging in too! not that it bothers him, it's just.. a surprise?]

[skullshift]

'Course I would! You didn't think I'd just leave the Smiling Dragon back in Motorcity, did you? [ le wink. ]

Besides, protecting the Realm was actually pretty fun. I wouldn't mind giving it another whirl.

[Larping...?]

Live action... role playing? [Oh, that sounds like theater! Maybe this is a theater nerd! It's not really theater but you know, e for effort.]

Is it... like a giant play?

video;

[larp]

[ close enough?! ]

Well.. in a way you could say that it is. Except you aren't really following a script, you just act in character however you want.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Never heard of it before. [It sounds kind of weird....]

What is it?

[Audio]

[larp]

[no you don't understand it's fun]

It's kinda like being a part of a really good story. Say you can be anyone you want, whether a warrior or a wizard or something. You can make a name and status for yourself and play as your character.

[playerkills]

I know what larping is.

[ Yeah, and she's a pretty girl, too.

Just. Wow. ]

I don't mind giving it a try.

[ Because acting exercises will help her make friends in real life someday, etc., etc. ]

video

[larp]

[well ruby the darkslayer is a pretty girl, so pretty girls can totally larp too! but

wow, more people, this is so great how exciting!]

Alright, um let's see.. do you have any ideas of a character?

Is it a WoW thing? [ It sounds like something Stiles could potentially be into, so...

Too bad he's not here anymore, otherwise she'd suggest Chuck talk to him about it. ]

video;

[larp]

WoW? What's that?

[stiles would have been such a great asset. maybe when he's back they can rope him in. ]

[odokuro]

...Can I be a Queen, ruling over Candy Kingdom? [ In reality, Karuta is just thinking about this as a chance to get food. Her mind is really one-tracked. ]

[larp]

[ WELL... ]

Sure if that's what you want, it would be interesting to have more royalty. [it would be like they're coming together in a peace treaty or something. or even allies in kingdoms.]

Next is to think of a name. Back in the Realm, er.. back home, I was known as Lord Vanquisher. And there was my great friend who was named Sir Smiling Dragon.

[digifan]

So it's a game where you're pretending to be someone else? Like a video game character or a monster or something. I've never heard it called that before, but yeah, I used to play games like that with my friends!

video

[larp]

Exactly like that. There were people being warriors, wizards, evil kings, dragons and so forth. So you really could be whoever you want.

[lot describe it like playing pretend when you were kids, but that's implying you have to be a kid to enjoy it. anyone of all ages can!!]

video

[wristbands]

Oh man, that's like how you used to play pretend when you were a little kid, right? That... actually kinda sounds like fun!

video

[larp]

Basically just like that. [..oh, she likes the idea-?!] It is, a lot of people really enjoy making their character. You can decide on what kind of clothes you'd wear and make it, get props, make a weapon and a name for yourself.. Things like that.

[tl;dr you go all out.]

[derpiest]

... like at a ren faire?

[larp]

Sure, the larping back home centered close to those times. But you can expand on it to involve other things depending on who you want to be.

[intenses]

[ oh man she's so enthused by this. you go get em chuck!! ] Man, I should get myself a title for this thing if we're doing it here, too.

[larp]

Y-You too, Julie? [HE REALLY HAS THE BEST FRIENDS EVER??? he's surprised but it's the good kind]

Flarp? I don't know, what does the "f" stand for?
And it is so not. I know plenty of dudes that play too.

[Video]

[adventuretime]

I don't know what larping is but I know what flarping is! Maybe they're the same thing. They sound kind of like the same thing at least.

[She sounds so excited. She hasn't flarped in a long time.]

I'd love to larp if you don't mind a newbie.

[Video]

[larp]

You're actually the second person to mention "flarping", they are pretty similar in name so maybe they are?

[to be honest it looks like you're already larping, the looks and all.]

Course not! No I wouldn't mind, sounds like plenty of people would be new and are interested, so you won't be the only one.
