Tongue-in-cheek, light drama, romance
Author: Bee Eckert
Runner: Bee Eckert
“Even villains have a happy ending every now and again”
During the Great Writers’ Strike of 2023, the Writer is bored out of their mind. No new scripts, so the Writer invites all the villains to a speed-dating event. Find love or a partner in crime: your happy ending comes after the main story and lasts forever. Or at least until Disney gets its hands on the rights.
Physical contact: Moderate contact; for example hugging, formal partner dancing
Intimacy: Affection; for example hugging, walking hand in hand
Conflict: Intimidation without touching. Players may deviate from this—in consultation with their scene partner—for example pushing or a theatrical slap in the face.
Triggers: Touch, affection, aversion, conflict, verbal violence, light physical violence
Special notes for this scenario:
Suitable for players who have never played a short larp before
No clothing requirements
Play this LARP if:
You enjoy romantic games with a wink and humor
You enjoy light drama and can handle exuberant (loud) characters
You understand and respect other players’ choices about whether or not to engage in play
You can play a character independently of (assumed) gender
You can play a character independently of their romantic preference
Do not play this LARP if:
You are under 18 years old
You dislike tightly timed games (the schedule is fixed)
You find it frustrating that the ending is predetermined
