The LARP
Yesterday, I had quite a lot of fun. First, I had my shortsword and buckler along with my spear and I decided to wear my gauntlet. Unfortunately, I went back and grabbed a buckler after realizing that I had grabbed something too big. By the time I got back, the mission was over. I was gone for at most two minutes. Then everyone got eight gold. So I bought another wakizashi and gauntlet combo. I found that, like at Tony's LARP, dual wakizashis works really well. So I got pretty good. Then we went on a mission to deal with a drake. We almost got it, but about half of us were wiped out by those ----ing mole sharks. (I kid you not.) I was one of those people. They ate my weapons, too. So we went around, and that time I was a baddie. And so that time, on the way back from the mission with the goodies, who had managed to defeat and take the drake hostage, along with one of the mole sharks, the baddies won. We defeated all of the goodies carrying the mole shark and ate it. Then we defeated all of the goodies carrying the drake and ate it. Then we found a wounded dwarf goodie, and ate that one too. So, when we got back, we got to demand reimbursement for what we lost. We each got back one equiment set's worth of stuff, so I had another wakizashi and gauntlet. Then I traded in my shield and shortsword for another four gold, and bought another wakizashi and gauntlet. So I had my stuff back. So then we did small things, because it was absolutely pouring, and I, as a blacksmith, worked to clean up the weapons and stick them under the tarp. I got six gold for it. Then, Stone and I made a sacrifice to our goddess (Hel) to make him a half vampire. Essentially, one of his other characters is on good terms with Hel, the norse goddess of the underworld and death. So even if I PD, I can get ressurected by Hel. However, I sacrificed my ring fingers for stone, so now I have two skeleton fingers that I cannot move when playing as my character. I just have to tape them together. It's not like I actively use them to hold weapons during LARP anyway. Besides that, I can now call myself 'Skeleton Fingers', although it is quite likely that Stone will just call me 'Boney', because he can.

Glad to have you writing again. I enjoy your post. Even when it's about getting your fingers lopped off so your friend can gain favor with their god. In the pouring rain.
