(in case you thought aradia wasn't a nerd)

tavros had a really neat suggestion about what we could do with the costumes we got!
i mean aside from the human holiday thing which were also doing
um so
if we get to keep the costumes after
we were thinking of starting to FLARP again!
i think that could actually be fun
so if youd like to FLARP with us
i guess let us know :)

... Do I want to know what FLARPing is?

[ariseanew]

i hear its a lot like your human larping!

[misery_chic]

I knew I shouldn't have asked.

[misery_chic]

But I guess it's not surprising that trolls have nerd activities as well. Maybe we are more alike than we all think.

[ariseanew]

yes thats an excellent way of looking at it!
while we do have some differences and find some things we dont share
a little silly and strange
it seems we do have some shared cultural practices
and its good to concentrate on those :)

[misery_chic]

Maybe there's hope for intergalactic peace after all.

[misery_chic]

So, um ... what do you usually dress up as for this FLARPing stuff, anyway?

[ariseanew]

im sure feferi would agree emphatically!
and um i used to dress as an explorer
kind of like troll indiana jones!
but now i guess i can dress as whatever a crusader is
and itll still be fun

[misery_chic]

Oh, sure. If you don't mind pretending to commit genocide.

[ariseanew]

um
no thats not really something id like to do
i just thought it was cool it had a sword!
so maybe its time to find another FLARP outfit...

[misery_chic]

Well, that's traditionally what crusaders do, so if that's not what you're into ... yep. You'll probably need another costume.

[ariseanew]

hmm i see
thank you for letting me know!
no one else really explained anything about the costume
i guess its time to scavenge for something else!

[misery_chic]

Um ... no problem. I read a lot, so I guess I've managed to pick up a few tidbits here and there.

[ariseanew]

maybe its something well learn about at the schoolhive one day
but we hadnt really so far so
i suppose maybe i should go seek out some information myself!

[misery_chic]

The stuff you get taught in school tends to be pretty watered down. I'd definitely check out what books are available in the library. Sometimes, you have to do your own research if you want to learn anything useful.

[ariseanew]

thank you um
im not sure what your name is
but youve been very helpful and kind!
