24H LARP

[baloonworld]

I'm not sure if I want to play Biccy or oolong more. Any preferences from fellow players?
Dom- any part of Lucian's lines you object to ?



"Doest thou wit, fair brother Lucian, that that good warrior that height Caled is to be married unto a damosel? And at that place, there are to be games and a great tournament?"

"Ah! That is a sorrowful tale, for I wot well that so good a knight as he must have some fair warrior that he loveth. This marriage unto a damosel must surely sunder these true lovers, so that they know naught but dole. An were were to travel unto the tournament then surely by some adventure we might come upon this warrior, weeping by some fountain, and making great dole."

"Would that it were so noble cousin! For by such an adventure we must surely win great worship. But list further, for I have other news: That this is a love-match."
"It beseemeth me a strange thing that a warrior should love a damosel, and not some worshipful warrior, for how shall a warrior know a damosel's worship? Rose hath won no tournaments, nor ever entered any that I wot*. Nor has she defeated any warrior of note in worshipful combat nor yet hath she dured long against some strong miscreature and so overcome it. Yet I ken that she is a goodly leech, for she was infellowship with me when I was at the great tournament that hight the Circus of Destiny."

"In sooth, it must be that this knight hath suffered some grievous wound, that he might not stir from his bed, and that Lady Rose hath tended him, and so by her goodly care and cunning leechcraft these wounds were amended, and thus he might know her goodly tatches, and therefore he doth know her a worshipful damosel."

elsewhere

"BREEZE! CALED IS TO BE A MAN-BRIDE! BRING FORTH THE LARGEST GRAVY-BOAT: WE MUST ATTEND!"

TL;DR oolong: Caled's dating a non-combatant. Eww.

*oolong's knowledge of tournaments, unlike mine, is encyclopaedic; he could tell you who was 5th in the champion's league in 1972**

**Standard Liège, beating Internazionale on aggregate, but losing on the away goals rule

Whoever you play will be a delight - I'll either be Mistral (currently somewhat evil) or Kavara (permanently sarcastic).

Thank you :)

*Laughs* Bring them both? I'm toying with the idea of playing Katrin as well as Rose and she'd love to see oolong again :)

They both have excessive kit, Biccy has makeup, and I'd have to bug you more to do my hair again. Carrying them both down on the train (or rather carrying half of oolong down, and getting Marcus to bring the rest up) and then swapping between them is probably a no :(
Still happy times!

Lucien's line are fine, no complaint from me.

There's no reason you couldn't bring both

[baloonworld.livejournal.com]

Yay! The knights have finally met, even if it is in non-canonical fanfiction :) Also, I do have practical issues with bringing both, even if no one minds.

[undecided-guy.livejournal.com]

one slight thought - wile playing 2 different characters is fine by me, bear in mind that the competition will be team based and going on throughout the afternoon, so flicking backward and forward might be difficult - it's not entirely fair on the rest of a team if they need a team member who isn't available because their player is being someone else.

that said, if you're happy to stick as one person until all of their games related obligations are done, i don't see why they can't then wander off and be replaced...

Good point. I was most worried about getting all the kit to the right place, but I take forever to get into kit too. Thanks!
