The Lost Zerlin

The First "Quest"

[Elazen stabs the sword to the ground behind a tree. In the background, there is laughter, chanting, and screaming. There is also a distinct clinging of metal and wood. Elazen looks at the sword and thinks it's not enough to hide it even though he's far away from the gathering of people.

Elazen: I think you need a disguise too.

[Elazen looks around and finds 3 measly twigs that were barely able to stand against the sword slightly obscuring it from plain sight. Still very poorly hidden.]

Elazen: that will do! For now.. ah whatever I won't take long.

[Elazen walks away going towards the camp. The sword is seen glowing.]

Voice: So, why didn't you take the sword with you?

Elazen: Don't worry about it. This is supposed to be quick. Haha...

[He gets nervous as he is being asked what his intentions are exactly.]

Voice: You know someone here, don't you?

Elazen: It's more complicated then that. Look I just need to get out of this place as fast as possible before I get recognized.

[Elazen goes to what seems to be the tent that controls the entrance to the camp. Standing behind a small table in metal armor, Two women with long blonde braids and weapons by their sides and back. The leader, who seems to be holding up a sheet of paper, has war paint and a sword on her back. While the other has two axes that dangle from her side. Both of which, aknowledge Elazen's arrival. The leader goes through her ritual greeting that seems almost forced at this point.]

Leader: Welcome to Quest by LARP. My name is Dena and this is Avery, we are your innocent townsfolk ready to give you a quest!

Elazen: OH, well, I'm not really here to participate in any roleplay. I'm just here to see your shops.

Leader Dena: that will still be a fee to enter as they provide an experience for you and me alike.

[At this point Dena is so out of enthusiasm and is talking in the most monotone voice you could think of. Avery steps in the conversation.]

Assistant Avery: Wait, aren't you that competitor?

Elazen: uhhhhhh

Leader Dena: Elazen??!!

Elazen: SHHHHH!! Please, I beg of you to not announce my name out loud for people to hear. I'm here on another quest and it is timed. So, I just need this to be quick. How much is for entry and do you have a helmet?

[At this point, Elazen caught Dena's attention.]

Dena: Do you need escorts? Very important person?

Elazen: that's going to bring attention to me but that would be so cool..

Avery: At your side, my liege.

[Avery gets on one knee and bows her head.]

Voice: is this how hierarchy is established here?

[Elazen speaks outloud, unknowingly, to answer the Voices Question.]

Elazen: This is all pretend -

[Dena looked disturbed by his comment and reaches out towards him with her sword.]

Leader Dena: Do not disrespect here! It is not pretend, that's kindergarten shit. This is roleplay. Two different things, got it?.

Simultaneously Elazen and the Voice:
Okay..

Voice: the world has its ways to give you answers, I suppose.

[Elazen enters the camp with a plain white face mask that only have holes for his eyes to see. The mouth is slightly opened and always smiling. By Elazen's side, Ally Avery is seen on the look out. Without turning his head towards Avery, Elazen speaks to her]
