janestarzIn this age of science, I'd like to remember that sometimes there is still wonderment in life.
At Maerquin I played a farmer's daughter, who has suddenly signed up for a holy quest. Her life literally was turned upside-down, and she was amazed at how she was suddenly part of a very magical story. (Of course, she was very down-to-earth about the whole thing, but still.)
Do we still have that in our daily lives? I think sometimes there is an explanation for everything. Wouldn't it be nice to just for a moment believe that miracles do still exist?
Also, dinosaurs!
These parents try to bring back some wonderment in the lives of their children, claiming November is DiNovember, and that the toy dinosaurs come to life at night. The children's comment is priceless. "Uh-oh, Mom and dad are not going to like this."
I think that sums up why I love live roleplay. If you can look past the fact that the "wall" is a 50-meter length of fabric, and that the undead is just wearing a mask, you can be part of a magical world and live in this wonderful adventure. Sure, it's dangerous (and cold!) and your character can die, but meanwhile, you've had a great experience that other people can't even begin to imagine.
And secretly, everybody loves that feeling. Look at this video of Improv Everywhere, where suddenly a really normal park is transformed into Jurassic Park; the public just adores it. Because for a split second, they believed it was true, or they were just surprised and amazed.
