Nero!

[NEROtrinNERO]

Okey. The folks have decided I -can- go to Nero. Check the May calender section for more details, but because I'm bored I figured I'd give you all the heads up in case yer interested.

Nero: a LARP (live action roleplay) game in which you actually get up & roleplay. I'm talking phys reps, costume, actually getting hurt (rare; happened to me last time), and sore muscles for three days after. I'm talking late nights (work till 5-6 AM) and sleep deprivation (then getting up again at 8).

Okay. You're all role players. Y'know how we live in our cute lil fantasy world & play out our characters via the internet? Imagine actually dressing up as your character (this includes fake ears, face paint, whatever makes you look most like your char, even wearing actual chain mail or even full plate!) and roleplaying. Of course, swords are PVC pipe wrapped in foam & ducttape, as are shields, bows, staffs, & the huge "whack-a-mole" looking hammer, but hey... they work. Our "spells" are lil bits of cloth wrapped around bird seed & tied by a rubber band, but they're our spells. Y'know what? If used by a tough person, the weapons & spells can still hurt. Esp if it's cold out and they hit bare skin... talk about 'oww!'

Ahem. Yeah. So, you've got yer PC's (Player Characters) and your NPC's (Non-Player Characters)... it costs money to PC, but it's free to NPC (and it's a kickass way to learn the game). Our Nero chapter rents out a campground, so we get a tavern and we are out there on the trails through the woods fighting. Yeah, last evet it was muddy, but still. Talk about a great weekend.

I'm tired of typing now, but for more info, run a search on a search engine near you for "Nero" or "Larp" or post here -or- IM me over AIM... there's a chapter just about everywhere.

Actually DK, try running a search for Nero. You'd be so surprised... even in the big cities.

This weekend went over quite well, for the most part. I'm too lazy to tell you all about it because then I'd be typing things over and over again, repeating myself... so here's a convo I had with DK.


Trinazan: poke.
Shadow Kam: indeed
Shadow Kam: welcome back yew
Trinazan: lol, nice cow
Shadow Kam: Thanx ^^ I've had a million ppl comment on him -proud-
Trinazan: lol
Shadow Kam: so how was it?
Trinazan: great... 'cept, it was 39 friggin degrees out last night.
Trinazan: and I was up till 4 AM in jeans & a sweatshirt.
Shadow Kam: lol!! smooth. that's cold.
Trinazan: plus my mom's on my back about vitamins... I fell and have a bigass bruise on my arm.
Trinazan: that, and i've learned shaving bruised & scraped up legs is not a good idea.
Trinazan: and uncle dave broke his leg... mike got sick, louis had a stomach ache...
Trinazan: roflol, all that aside, it was awesome ^^
Shadow Kam: O.o wow. yew go away and all hell breaks lose.
Shadow Kam: -claps-
Shadow Kam: if yew insist
Trinazan: oh, and I also discovered that if it isn't that -one- week out of every four weeks, Midol has the reverse effect on me.
Shadow Kam: Well done. Someone out there love yew
Shadow Kam: loves even
Trinazan: lol
Trinazan: of all the bad things that happened, the kickass things that happened outweighed the bad things 20 to 1
Shadow Kam: Thrilling. Do share.
Trinazan: I got to be a 12 foot rabbit.... and we were the chess peices from hell... and I was an 8 year old mute caster (odd...), and... uh...
Trinazan: drakelings
Trinazan: mosquitos
Shadow Kam: lol!! wow. talented acting.
Trinazan: -nod-
Trinazan: spider
Trinazan: s
Trinazan: one of which ended up getting charmed & becoming somebody's pet spider named "bob"
Shadow Kam: Okay. Now I'm curious
Trinazan: -that- was fun....
Shadow Kam: lol!
Shadow Kam: Bob XD
Shadow Kam: amusing
Trinazan: and I was a glowing green critter
Trinazan: skeletol archer
Shadow Kam: glowing. nice
Trinazan: lol
Trinazan: yeah, too bad we weren't -really- glowing... considering we started up the hill about an hour before dusk and nobody thought to bring lights... so we had a good portion of the town fighting in pitch black on the "bigass mod(ule)" then getting us all down the stairs on the trail via glowstick was interesting.
Trinazan: oh, and under the influence of Midol i was one bitchy peasant.
Shadow Kam: lol!!! I love it. Too bad yew folks don't like tape this stuff. its great
Trinazan: we did this time
Shadow Kam: seriously? awesome
Trinazan: at least I know I saw Kevin runnin' around with a camcorder when i was bob.
Shadow Kam: lol!!! spiffy
Trinazan: did I mention I'd been a 12 ft rabbit with 2,000 body swinging 100 massive?
Shadow Kam: bwha. that sounds amusing. didja get t kill anything?
Shadow Kam: to*
Trinazan: under all technicality, I should have. Massive means that you take the damage, even if you block it with your weapon or shield.
Shadow Kam: -nods-
Shadow Kam: indeed
Trinazan: and let's put it this way... a friend of mine who started playing last halloween has probably been to 8-10 events has 7 body.
Trinazan: body = hp
Shadow Kam: lmao. holy shit. that sure puts it into proportion
Trinazan: yep.
Trinazan: it was so funny...
Trinazan: lord pheelyks, owner of the town (pretty much), was turned into a wolf scavenger (think half human half wolf)....
Shadow Kam: lol!! amusing
Shadow Kam: how'd it all end?
Shadow Kam: drama?
Trinazan: he tried using his scent ability, then mike (the guy running this specific mod/miniquest) got this wicked smile on his face. he made me run, the butthole, but it was funny... I was a normal sized lil fluffy bunny rabbit with 15-20 dodges (if they hit me and I say "dodge", then they technically didn't hit me... i could say it 15-20 times)... I had 1 body and -nothing- to attack with.
Trinazan: so then I turn into this bigass 12 ft rabbit swinging 100 massive and I had 2,000 body...... the -strong- people I was fighting were swinging 60's, at best.
Trinazan: the rabbit thing? they cast a spell on me and mike told me I was dead.
Trinazan: the mod itself? Well, I had to be Gambo's (one of the characters, a scavenger kangaroo) brother, only I was in a dragon's liar and I'd been turned to crystal.
Trinazan: it sucks trying to hold still when mosquitos are targeting you. -full of mosquito bites-
Trinazan: d**n ed dirty mosquitos.
Trinazan: mind if I copy this convo & post it at WF?
Shadow Kam: lol!!! wow. sounds like yew need to rest up now
Shadow Kam: not at all
Shadow Kam: -feels like a test subject. bows-
Trinazan: lol, I'm pooped... since I'm the oldest, I was kinda unofficially "in charge" when Uncle Dave left... he was our supervisor.
Trinazan: I was last to get to bed, first to get up, -and- I was lead driver on the way home.



k, i'm gonna go talk to DK s'more then I'm going to bed. That's the jest of the weekend tho... pretty much everything I'd have said here was said in that convo.
