A Smuggler's Life For Me, part 1
Aug. 2nd, 2007 09:40 amSo last weekend I played the best game of anything ever.
That's right, I'm talking about the Freefall Game again.
It was technically an Airsoft game, but it was really scenario-oriented and came across more like a LARP only less pretentious and more exciting. We had a lot of people out who had never played Airsoft before, but happened to be a) actors, and b) Firefly fans, and just about everybody stayed in character the entire game, and it was SO COOL!!! It was like living in the Firely 'verse for two days!
The only downside is that the guy who was filming the event (I'll link to that if it ever hits the internets) was also playing the Alliance Commander, so none of the cool scheming that occurred onboard the Waxwing Bulk Transport got recorded.
Anyways, it's kind of a tradition among Airsofters to post an After Action Report (AAR) after an event (especially a scenario game) so the folks who couldn't be there can get all jealous and clear their schedule for next year. It's just like a convention report, really. Anyways, the event coordinator asked all of the more actory types to write their report in character, and since mine ended up reading like fanfic I thought some of you would be interested. All of the AARs, as well as all of the character profiles, can be found here.
Title: A Smuggler's Life For Me, 1/2
Fandom: Firefly, Airsoft
Characters: OC's a-plenty, POV of Margaret Blake, smuggler pilot.
Timeline: Two years pre-Serenity
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,164
Authors Note: This'll make a whole lot more sense if you read the character sheets that the event coordinator wrote. I'll C & P mine over here, and that should get you through, but if you want the full perspective you can go here (because it never hurts to ink to the same thing twice).
