{ LARP sounds so fun though. I've only done it once as like a kid during recess and i didn't even know it was LARP. It sounds like you're having a really cool time though? And that story sounds really interesting. It'd be cool to see how things play out tbh. }

And that story sounds really interesting. It'd be cool to see how things play out tbh. } (hahaha yeah it's so much fun. Gonna die this month irl though because the next game is next weekend and our last game was only two weeks ago, so they were much closer together than usual. And I still have to do... so many things... in like 4 days... plus write a speech for class... kill me. And then next month I have my own home game plus I'm going to the massive national event in Indiana which is gonna probably take, like, an entire week of time what with preparing and travel and everything. Hahaha it's gonna be like August before our Salt Wise actually end up coming in, we're too busy stopping vampire soccer moms from killing communists right now.)
(Edit: it's fine robin, I totally understand. Feel free to come back at any point if you do end up getting the time! Assuming this survives lmao)

{ Aw, we're sad to see you go Robin!
I feel you with the busy-ness tbh?? I have two papers to write this week, plus I'm retaking the ACT and my birthday is next week. And I'm graduating this year and this is the last quarter and so it's a bunch of screaming about finals and end of course testing. }

(aw dang I feel for you. At least most of the LARP stuff I have to do is stuff I agreed to do, it wasn't imposed on me. Mostly I just have to finish painting a really bad armadillo and maybe sew some leaves or something to a scarf. Idk.)

((LARPing sounds like fun but I can't take myself seriously ever and I'd just burst out laughing a lot or just make a ton of crude jokes, I'm bad at acting and I feel like that's a big part of it))
Edit: ((congrats 2 her!!))

((LARPing sounds like fun but I can't take myself seriously ever and I'd just burst out laughing a lot or just make a ton of crude jokes, I'm bad at acting and I feel like that's a big part of it)) (lol if you're interested in giving it a try you should look up Dystopia Rising... that's the LARP I'm talking about and what got me into it. It's post-apocalyptic with just a dash of fantasy and there's chapters all over the US so if you live in the mainland US there's probably a chapter within a few hours of you. It's full weekend, full immersion, so it can be pretty intense sometimes, you have to be willing to get woken up by raiders bursting into cabin at 4am, but it's super worth it. Also I don't know how bad most chapters are about that, like in [FL] we get hit by raiders, zed, or whatever at least like once a game, but when I went to the VA game the worst thing that happened in the middle of the night was some shady af NPC "entertainers" knocking on the door and being obnoxious while everyone was trying to sleep. But anyways, of course it can get serious at times but it doesn't have to be, like some characters are meant purely for comedy, like my chapter's "Texaco" family who is basically this massive family of stereotypical rednecks who are all super dumb and like half of them follow St. Earnheardt and the left turn.... and like, even though my character is semi-serious like 85% of my time is spent sitting around the campfire being vague about my backstory and making... inappropriate anatomy jokes... if you know what I mean. My third game we started a cult based on wall graffiti left by 10-year-olds in the cabin at the Bible camp our game is at. It's only as serious as you make it lol.)
(Edit: Yeah I think they'll do alright. Unfortunately we live in different states right now so I wasn't able to be there but hopefully I can go see them soon.)

(yeah we don't take D&D seriously at all lol. And the Texacos are pretty great. Like, they're really annoying on the one hand [and my boyfriend's character is from a rival family so one of the Texacos keeps breaking his legs in-game] but they're also hilarious. Like, the Texaco that sort of ended up being the leader, one of the first Texacos to come to game, is Hank and the guy who plays him hasn't been at game for a while so now two of the Texaco girls [including my irl sister] are gonna have basically a political campaign to see which one of them gets to be "the new Hank." Their names are Taquito [pronounced tah-qwit-oh] and Bacon Beans. It's also funny because when like running into battle and stuff they'll just scream "TEXACOOOOOOOOO!" and at this point it's so well-known in Gatorland, and there's so many of them, that if you stand on one side of camp and yell TEXACO you'll just hear other people across camp screaming it in response, and probably only like 2/3 of them are actual Texacos.)

(haha yeah that would be a good Texaco name. Currently off the top of my head there's Hank, Frank, Burt, Jon Duan, Taquito, Bacon Beans, Arizona T [who's a NERD], Bubba Ray, and Slim John [who I haven't met yet, though I think he might be abandoning that character in favor of a communist...]. But I know there's more bc they did a count and there's like 16 pc Texacos so idk who the rest are. Not sure if all of the 16 have come to game or if that's just how many are registered.)

Maguura let out a chuckle at the question. "Of course I was. Your mother was the most beautiful woman in the whole tribe. Even if I was the son of the chief then, it was hard to believe that she would agree to marry me." He continued the design, pausing only for a moment to look towards the entrance of the tent. The light was beginning to fade- he would need to finish this soon, before it got too dark to see what he was doing. It was terrible bad luck to make a mistake in the marriage design, after all, and that would be inevitable if he had to finish it in the darkness of night.
(so in my post-apocolypse LARP there's a strain [race] called Natural Ones who are very tribal and stuff and I didn't figure I'd ever play a Nattie just bc I didn't really have any ideas for one but now I'm seriously considering using this tribe as a basis for a future Nattie character lol.) (I did reply to Takoda, idk if you saw that or want to reply right now but I figured I'd just make sure)

(It's in High Springs, which is about 20 minutes north of Gainsville. So I guess it depends how far south you are? Either way it would probably be a couple hour drive. But seeing as you stay the whole weekend, a few hours Friday and Sunday isn't that bad.)
