Heart: You guys playing swords? Dean: Actually, we're "larping." Boy: We're all three larpers. Heart: Larping? Dean: Live Action Role Playing. It's a game of strategy and cunning, requiring an in-depth knowledge of medieval weapons and fighting skills, with a "story teller" who runs and judges the game-play. I'm using the singing sword of demon breath! Boys: Cloaking device! Cloaking device! Kat: Sure looks like playing swords to me. Heart: Once again, Kat, it seems the geek subculture has out-geeked itself.
LARPing would later be used in politics by white supremacists because we can’t have geek things.
