I felt horrific on Sunday morning. I had a serious LARP hangover, something much much worse than I've ever experienced from such an experience: my legs were aching, my mouth was persistently dry and sandy, my head aching and whirly and I was completely spaced out.
So, my Fruits Basket game was not what I would call ideal. It was a fantastic group of players, but we were all I think, a little worse for wear. I'm not sure why but I feel disappointed in this game and I think it's completely that I'm disappointed with myself. I tried though, and it was funny and cool and everyone seemed to have fun.
Ayame: Yuki! Just because I was bad to you as a child doesn't mean that you can be mean to Tohru now!
Yuki: why are you on school grounds?
Ayame: I paid for this sports event!
Akito re: Tohru's school friends: all these girls in your house, who are they?
Yuki: friends of Kyo's.
Ayame: The winner of the race/card game/eating competiton wins this dress!
After that round I went to the airport to say goodbye to my sister and brother in law and 1 year old niece. It was sad.
Last round at Kapcon was Nick's Matt Damon game. I had tossed up whether to play this or Scott's Little Fears game, but had figured that my brain couldn't cope with anything anything remotely thought-requiring.
Around the table we had Departed Matt, Jason Bourne, Titan AE Matt (with the +4 trait of kick-ass girlfriend) Loki from Dogma, Ocean's 12 Matt with severe Daddy issues, Good Will Hunting smart Matt and me, Matt from School Ties. We had to rescue Ben Affleck. It was seriously amazingly crack smokingly hilarious. There was a point when my stomach started giving me pains because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
I don't expect these quotes will be terribly funny to anyone who wasn't in the game, but I felt I had to share them with those who were in the game :)
Departed!Matt to SchoolTies!Matt: Kid, this is how it's done. Crack! Crack! Crack! (shooting bad guys)
ST!Matt: why are you saying crack over and over again? Are you on drugs?
D!M: No!
ST!M: Can I have some?
D!M: Only if you give me a lot of money. MATT DAMON!
O12!M: I have Daddy Issues! My father doesn't love me!
ST!Matt: Yeah, I'll never be good enough for my Father, he's a successful lawyer.
TitanAE!Matt: My father saved the world! How can I ever live up to that?
Dogma!Matt: *my* father rejected me. And he's everywhere! He's everyone's father!
TitanAE!Matt: I can fix anything!
ST!M: except the relationship with your father.
Ocean's12!Matt:George Clooney! Why don't you love me?
A cellphone is FedExed to Ocean's12!Matt, it rings, he answers it.
On the phone: It's Jason Bourne! Duck now! Now! Take 3 steps to the left! Stand up! Is there a guy who looks like me there?
(Having followed Jason's instructions, O12!Matt is now facing Will Hunting)
O12!M: Yes!
JB: Kiss him on the cheek! Don't ask questions! There's no time!
D!M takes the phone: who is this?
JB has hung up.
In the Arctic we had to fight polar bears, SchoolTies!Matt and Will Hunting shared a ski-do, having bonded over being the only two Matts wearing ties and blazers.
Will: I think I've figured out an equation that will keep the freezing ice out of tweed!
O12!M: What? That can't be done!
ST!M: He knows the formula for tweed, ok? That's how smart he is!
GM: how are you going to take out your polar bear?
ST!M: I could flick a cigarette at it?
Fraser: that'll do it, polar bears are highly flammable, that's why they live in the Arctic.
GM: They're full of glycerine, that's why they sometimes look a bit green.
Jason Bourne: I thrust Ben Affleck at you!
ST!M: who?
JB: you!
ST!M: I receive the thrust of Ben.
O12: I'm going to eat George Clooney's liver.
JB: when did you become Silence of the Lambs Matt Damon?
