Alison Drinks Alone

Scene 1: Dakota (#2)

Wait, what did you order again? You think you just said fruity and strong, with an umbrella. Why did you do that? It's not like you're all that thirsty. And some nuts? Minty Nuts? You just... You just have all the FEELS. And the drink is your character's drink! What happened to your regular go-to drink?

There are people looking oddly at you here at the bar, including the bartender and the waitperson. Did you really push your way past several people, muscling them aside? Are you still channeling your Consensual Pirate Sexy Throne Time Games character? Did you order the death of any of them? That would be embarrassing. Perfectly in character, but still embarrassing.

OMFG! You love Alison's games. You can't wait until the next one is done. You're always the first to mash the mouse for her new game on the first signup day for the convention. They're always great. BUT. NOT. LIKE. THIS. This is the best character you've ever played, surrounded by the best LARPers ever. (Even newbie River surprised you with their intensity.) This, this was incredible, unreal, life-changing, orgasmic, and emotional. This took all your favorite fandoms, shipped them all together, and threw you from the Ur Scrolls into the soul-wrenching Vortex of Forever.

And where did that great dragon sex mechanic come from? It was SO HOT, and not just from the open flames. How did that get past the hotel and con staff?

You will never be the same.

Alison is always going on about having really good port after the game, in some kind of tradition. You've heard that port has all these flavors that explode in your mouth and down your throat. She says it's great, especially if you can get your hands on the 'good stuff'. That sounds more in character, more like you're really feeling. Why did you order something 'fruity and strong'? It's all wrong. Does Alison know where to get this good stuff?

Sadly, you know that no one out there is going to understand your experience, outside of a handful of LARPers. There's no one to share this with, and right now, you want to keep feeling the FEELS. In this entire community, with all of its similar spirits, why can't you find someone? It's probably because of your intensity, your feeling, and your need for more.
