>YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME TO COMBAT! I SHALL RIP YOUR SOUL FROM BODY AND MAKE A SACRIFICE TO MY DARK GODS! FOR I AM THE DARK KNIGHT OF LOVE AND JUS-uh, PAIN!A cosplayer in black knight's armor points a prop sword at a small child, who is shaking but holding his own prop sword up, clearly terrified. A bunch of other kids watch the "fight," happening by the entrance to the LARPing festival.
>...erm...ENOUGH TALK I SUPPOSE! HAVE AT YOU!The Dark Knight dramatically flourishes their sword, pointing it at the child. The kid freezes, unsure what to do.
>......psssssst. Hit me.The Dark Knight tries to whisper loudly. The kid awkwardly walks up and pokes the Knight in the chest with his prop sword.
>AGHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I HAVE BEEN SLAIN! CURSEEEE YOUUUUUUUU WARRIOR of lightttttttt....The Knight dramatically cluches their chest and falls to their knees, before falling to the ground and playing dead. The kids in the crowd cheer, running over to the victor of the duel. A couple run to the Knight and deliver a few kicks.
>Ow! H-Hey...!The Knight tries to muffle their annoyance under their helmet. The crowd of kids walk off excitedly, to another area of the festival as the Knight rises to their feet, taking their helmet off.
>Geez, I didn't think they'd get *that* excited...Kanako said annoyed as she rubbed the back of her neck where one of the kids kicked her between her foam armor.
>Well at least they had fun! Now I gotta buy a REAL sword at this festival...Kanako exclaimed to herself before starting to walk towards the festival.
