[vvanquishing]

Yeah, I thought so too.

What the hell is a cosplayer?

[justacafeowner]

Oh ya know, a person that dresses up in costume. Usually, as some sort of famous character.

[vvanquishing]

You mean like FLARPing?

[and now, some interest!] Only a couple of the others are into it too, but --[his expression darkens]-- I'd be pretty fuckin' hard-pressed to call 'em my friends.

...What's flarping?

Ahhh, but ya could, couldn't ya?

[vvanquishing]

[flatly] No. I really fuckin' couldn't.

[and then a frown.] FLARP. Huh, guess I was mistaken. 'course your kind don't have advanced forms a entertainment like that. [siiiigh, how to explain without watering down the exquisitely intricate mechanics of the game.] You could call it extreme roleplay I s'pose, but it's more than that. It's life or death out there for the player, and only the superior survive to gain levels and win treasure and legendary weapons and shit. People like me, for example.

[justacafeowner]

Hahaha, whatever ya say.

So basically, LARPing.

[vvanquishing]

FLARPing.

So wait, you dirtlickers have somethin' like this on Earth too? But you all seem so fuckin' embarrassingly unequipped for fightin', is everyone just shitty at it or somethin'?
