Live Action Role Play - Recap

The scene opens and all the campers asleep. Poppy wakes up the campers with an annoying song and all wake up and get out of bed except for Will who is still asleep. Poppy wakes her up by counting to three. Outside the campers recite their daily affirmations that they are perfect and that they will achieve what they have set for themselves. Trent tells Ian that he needs to tell Alistair that he needs to take a shower. Ian is uncomfortable about this and is not too sure how he is going to tell him about the problem that is bothering the rest of the cabin.

In the girl’s cabin, Becca puts up a sign for “Larping”, a medieval fake war that involves a wide variety of mystical creatures. Will is asked to come but she doesn’t think that it is a good idea for her and others think that she is silly to even come up with such a game. Alistair is talking with Ian about his dream about how he was in a camp and that they had to eat each other to stay alive. Dr. Rand announces that the first campfire. Becca and Will go up to Ian and Alistair and tell that they have to go “Larking” with them. Alistair is excited and Ian looks over at Trent who is telling that a boy in his cabin smells really bad and that it is horrible. They tell it is the gay kid Alistair that needs to take a shower and Chloe finds out. She shows no sign to care.

In the forest, Becca and Alistair are talking about the Larking. Ian talks to Will and admits that he has “Larped” before. He tells that he has a question and automatically, Will thinks that he is going to ask about Amber. They talk about Alistair and that the fact that he smells and how to tell him smells. Ian wants to know why Will thought that he was going to ask about Amber but Will doesn’t answer. Becca finds the spot where they are going to lark. Alistair tells that he wants to be a cat. They are interrupted by campers from the other camp and one of the campers recognizes Will as a girl from his school. They tease them off their weight and tell that the spot is their spot and for Will and her friends to get away. They leave and the campers make fun of them still.

At Yoga that afternoon, Will tells that she should have done something. Will tells that Becca found the place and that she needs to “Larp” there. Will tells that they’re going to “Larp” together. Alistair is not holding the Yoga pose right and George politely tells that he needs to get up. Shea tells Alistair to get up in an angry tone. Trent and Piznarkski start horse playing and Shea screams at them. She pulls George to the side and tells that she hired him for a good reason and that he needs to make Shea look like a good teacher and that she doesn’t want a repeat of last summer. When George asks what that means, she ignores him.

Back at the cabin Piznarski and Trent are teasing each other of Amber talking to Trent and George enters and yells at them. He tells that the cabin has to do better and for the boys to follow the chore wheel. Ian walks into George’s office and tells that he can’t tell Alistair that he smells. George offers to tell him but Ian changes his mind and tells that he will tell him and that it probably would be better coming from a cabin mate instead of George. Meanwhile, Will and Becca are talking about Larking and Will is changing the rules to get people excited. In the cabin, Amber and Chloe are talking about Trent and Amber tells that she might like Trent and asks Chloe if she doesn’t like Trent then she would go out with him. Will is changing the game rules of “Larking” and Becca is getting a little irritated.

Dr. Rand is posting a piece of paper on the board and Shea talks about the first campfire and tells that Lorraine did something to bring the campers together. Dr. Rand is frustrated that she keeps getting likened to the last camp director and that she is not doing a good enough job. A night outside the cabin, Becca, Will, Ian, and Alistair practice “Larping”. Ian tries to get Alistair’s attention so that he can talk to him about the showering and Becca wants to know what Will is going to do if the Tennis Camp kids are going to be there. She tells that she will fight them. She shows Becca how to block a punch and Becca is a quick study. Ian sprays Alistair with the water gun and he finds out that Alistair has a fear of water. Ian apologizes and Alistair tells that it was refreshing trying to hide his true feelings.

A note goes under Dr. Rand’s door and Joe visits Dr. Rand and she talks about how she is trying to match up the last camp director and that people are still talking about her. She admits that she has not been doing her job right because she had Will leave the camp. Joe tells that she got her back and that she can’t stop someone who has their mind up to leave. In the lunch hall, Will is changing the rules of “Larking” again saying that they can come back as Zombies. Becca is upset and gets some water. Dr. Rand tells Becca that the area where the “Larping” is going to take place is off limits. Becca tells that there were other kids there and that they won’t go there. Dr. Rand looks concerned. Becca pulls Will to the side and tells that they can’t do the “Larp” at the place they first thought of. Will tells that they are going to have to go behind Dr. Rand’s back.

Alistair is talking about his “weirdness” around the circle and that he is excited to loose weight. Dr. Rand tells that it is tough but with the right people supporting, you can achieve everything. In the tomato garden, Joe is there and Dr. Rand tells that kids from Lake Knoll Tennis Camp were on their property and he tells that she needs to call the manager. She tells that she has a history with him and that it might be bad. In her office, she calls Jonathan Deluca, the owner of the camp and leaves a message telling that his kids were on her property and that he needs to do something about it. She attempts to delete the message but sends it by accident. The camp is getting dressed up for “Larking” and Becca is hiding from Will. Amber and Chloe laugh at Will’s outfit but Will doesn’t care. Becca comes out of the bathroom and Amber tells that Will is looking for her. She lies on her bed and hears Amber give Chloe a quiz about what type of person you are.

On the “Larking” battlefield, the campers have fun and start the battle. Back in the cabin, Becca has it with Chloe and Amber teasing and gets her outfit off the hanger and puts it on. At the battlefield, Becca sees will and shoots one of her arrows in a tree. She gets into character and tells Will that she can’t change the rules of the game. Back at the cabin, Amber tells that she is going to go to the “Larping” and tells that she can’t help that Trent likes her. Chloe tells that she never said that and that Amber can do whatever she wants. Poppie and George are sitting out and Dr. Rand asks if their kids can help setting up for the campfire. Poppy tells that they are “Larping”. Amber is trying to find the “Larping” and meets up with Will’s schoolmate instead. She blends in with them and they hear Will and the rest in the battle. They laugh and ask if it is “Fat Halloween”. Becca tells the campers from the Tennis camp to leave and the rest join in her chant. They leave. Becca screams and the rest shout a victory cry. Dr. Rand shows up and the campers freeze. She tells them to get back to their cabins.

Will tries to apologize and Becca tells that Will changed the world that she created. In the boys cabin George takes him aside and tells that he needs to shower. Alistair tells that he can’t ne with the rest in the shower. Jonathan Deluca visits the camp and he tells that her kids were actually on their property instead of the other way around. Joe walks up and Dr. Rand introduces him as her cook but he tells that he is her father. Outside the showers, George tells that he will keep watch and Alistair tells that he can’t tell anyone at all. Dr. Rand tells that his campers need him and wants to see that he is committed to the job.

Chloe and Amber sit together and Chloe apologizes but Amber tells that she doesn’t like Trent like Chloe does and for her to go for it. Chloe gets up and walks over to Trent and starts talking. Ian sees that Amber is alone and Will signals that he should go and talk to her. He walks over and says hi and talks about the “Larking” they did earlier. Piznarski asks Becca when the next game is and she is happy that he was interested. Will sits next to Becca and Becca apologizes for not speaking up. Will tells that she will tell Dr. Rand that it was her fault but Becca tells that it feels good to be in trouble.

Dr. Rand brings paper to the campfire and she hands them a pierce and tells them to rip the paper and pass around the pieces. She tells that they are holding a white flag and that they need to stop being at war and that they need to surrender and be themselves. All the campers toss their flag into the fire and surrender, all except Will who puts the paper in her pocket. Later that night, Alistair is talking to Piznarski about the many rules of “Larping” he tries to ignore him but he keeps talking and follows him around.
