"Fine, whatever." You suddenly feel a sense of freedom.
"Speaking like you're in a Shakespeare tragedy gets old after a while, doesn't it?" Sienna asks.
"Yes, yes it does."
Glenda comes over. "What art thou discussing?"
"Language like that," Sienna says. "You don't need to do that.
Glenda stares at her for a moment, followed blinking repeatedly in her stupor. "Art thou serious?"
"Are YOU being serious?"
"What doth thou mean?" Glenda isn't budging.
"Language like that is a distraction. Just talk normally, but think like your character and focus on the narrative you want to tell. That gets drowned out when you focus on speaking like you're in Romeo and Juliet. You do know the casualty count of that one, yes?"
"She has a point," you tell Glenda.
"Verily I must exclaim my agony! For thou to not speaketh like doth is heresy!" Glenda is glaring at you.
"Please tell me you don't want to have a fight over something as silly as LARP language."
"Thou art the one who tossed the gauntlet. The choice to fight was thine."
Sienna interjects. "Actually, Glenda, you're the one who challenged him on this, when he said I had a point."
Glenda turns to you and points her finger. "The tide of thine affair is verily clear!"
"Woah, woah, woah," Sienna waves both of her hands in front of her, frantically. The visor on her helmet comes loose and covers her face. "We're not doing ANYTHING like that!"
"Glen, take a deep breath and think this through," you say.
"I have. Doth thou have one single clue?"
"Do YOU have a clue?" Sienna asks. "Seriously, this is the dumbest battle to pick. And because he refuses to speak like that, he's having an affair with someone he met just last night? Does your character always jump to the most ridiculous conclusions?"
You know for a fact that Glenda's character doesn't. Nor does Glenda... usually.
Glenda is still digesting this comment...

What do you say to her?
A. "I'm sorry, but Sienna is right. Using language like that does distract me from what LARPing should really be about. It feels freeing. Try it."
B. "I'm not cheating on you. I have no idea why you would think such a thing. Was it something I said or did? Please enlighten me."
C. "If thou shalt feel accusatory, then fare thee well."
D. "So... we have a DARGON to tend to, yes?"
E. Absolutely nothing
