Live Action Role Play

My boyfriend and his friends get together at a park and LARP. I don't play myself but it is interesting to watch and listen. This is of my first time meeting everyone in a LARPing game.

Creeping along the edges of the light

Never getting to close lest end up blind

As a group meets up and begins rituals 

Foreign to me as a language unknown

Music thumps through speakers

Muffling the conversations held in clusters

Strange hand signs are done to make decisions

And personas of creatures emerge from minds of these...

Vampires?

Witches?

Ghouls?

I know not yet I watch with interest

Not wanting to be noticed and interrupt

Laughter erupts and strange movements are done

Stragglers travel from cluster to cluster

Words exchanged

Spells cast

Strategies cooked

I step slowly from the shadows to a corner

Unnoticed by the crowd

Words of Princes and betrayal

and silly creatures begin to wander in my ear

Everything is new and exotic

These topics and conversations

Papers passed

Points accumulated

Skills learned

Familiar faces begin to notice mine

Some wonderful, others horrid

A straggler comes towards my corner

And I ask what all this is

He smiles and answers

"LARP"
