WARDED TO ROXIE:

~~Hey, so~~

~~If you're not busy this weekend~~ ~~No, that's~~

~~Have you ever thought about joining LARP? It's cooler than it sounds~~

Do you have any interest in watching me pretend to be a four and a half foot tall Scottish man with a magic battle axe?

That's a very specific question.

It's a +2 battle axe of disruption but I didn't think that was relevant.

It might not be relevant, but I was wondering how the battle axe was magical.

It's great vs undead.

Is that a problem you have often?

Semi-regularly.

Huh.

And they tell our parents this school is safe.

That isn't a no, before you worry.

I would, in fact, be very interested in seeing you be a four-and-a-half foot tall anything.

We've got some new people dropping in for LARP this weekend so it'd be a good time to, you know. Drop in for a day.

Despite spending a disproportionate amount of my time outside of school wearing costumes, I have no idea how LARP works. Do I have to know how it works?

Nope! We actually super simplified the rules already since it's mostly just us improvising and smacking each other with foam weapons and since we'll have a few new people we'll probably go over everything. [...] But if you do want a catch up lesson I can help you.

I suddenly feel very justified in my years of pouting when my sister refused to let me play with her swords. That would have been useful now. But - please?

I could teach you something back?

Sounds like a fair trade. But probably not anything involving a tightrope? I think I might be a lost cause for that.

That's fair. Heights aren't for everyone. What are your feelings on knives? Or the relative morality of pick-pocketing when half of the game is putting everything back where you got it from?

I know you'd like what my Opa does, but I'm terrible at it.

I could probably definitely throw a knife.

[...] Wait, whose pockets have you been picking?

If it helps, most of them aren't sharpened.

Nobody here! I'll have you know I'm a very well behaved member of the student body who obeys the majority of school rules. It's [...] a really stupid game we used to play with my cousins. And the object wasn't to steal anything - sometimes we'd just put things in people's pockets, honestly. The object was not to get caught?

So really just one step up from what we're doing at LARP anyway.

I don't know how good I'd be at that. I'm not very sneaky. [...] Your LARP character should definitely be a rogue, though.

Depends on how hard you're throwing it. But, essentially? They're charmed not to hit anyone.

Jon always just flirted with every pretty girl, stole all their pocket-change and hair ties from their purses, and put it back into one of their friends bags. Little to no subtlety involved.

Is that a thief, then?

I also probably couldn't pull that off. [...] I bet I could make a toy bug to do it for me, though.

Yeah, they're sneaky knife fighters.

The flirting or the petty crime?

Stealing things and stabbing people. My father would be appalled. Am I supposed to be motivated by something or am I just a terrible person?
