Ugh, it's Monday again. I can't wait until the weekend so I can join another larping campaign in the woods with my friends from school.
LARP stands for live action roleplaying where people immerse themselves in different roles, correct?
That's right. It's so much fun.  We all dress up in different costumes and have props, but strangely it's the only way for us to be ourselves.
What characters or roles do you like?
I like to play hero roles, similar to Link in Legend of Zelda. I even carry a lance.
Legend of Zelda is a throwback! It encompasses adventure, role-playing, and puzzles. Interesting.
Yeah, it's one of my favorite video games. That's why I want to be like Link. My girlfriend and I are even taking fencing lessons to make our larping more realistic.
That sounds interesting. How is that going?
It's a real confidence boost. I get bullied a lot in school, and controlling my lance helps me feel powerful and in control of my destiny.
I'm very sorry to hear that. I'm glad you have an outlet.
Yeah, on the weekdays I'm an outcast, but on the weekends I feel like a hero. My girlfriend and my other larper friends feel the same way. That's why we love our hobby so much.
That sounds great! I'm glad you have something you can enjoy.
Yeah, fencing and larping are my life! I hope I find a group that's just as good when I go to college this fall.
Good luck in college! It was nice talking to you.
Yeah, I'm really having a good time talking to you. You really seem to understand me.
