Got to LARP as a tradie for a couple days

Had to do some work on a large industrial campus for a couple of days of field testing as a engineering consultant. I was accompanied by a hand full of tradies to do the actual wrench turning and digging, but I got to LARP with my safety vest and white monster and ride around in a work truck for a few days.

It was glorious and fascinating listening to their language/speech patterns, the social dynamic of alphas and betas, and dietary habits throughout the day. The only down side was seeing some hot 20 something walk by and just knowing they thought I actually was a tradie and how different you are treated because of that (no eye contact, contempt in voice, etc.)

Would recommend to anyone with the opportunity though, if given the chance.

You think she just mogged you because of your standing in your aforementioned tradie hierarchy?

This too.
I hesitated to include because I knew *******s wouldn’t be able to resist a dunk, but this is for science, so I wanted to include a complete account.

Blood Hound because I had a knack for finding buried chit (srs). In reality, I was the only one who could read a plan lol.

You weren't a tradie brah. People saw you standing there watching while the real men did the work and understood from somewhere deep in their ancient DNA that you were a beta larper. Your pocket protector, clean boots/jeans, and smooth pale officecel face probably didn't help. Step aside poindexter the real men have actual work to do.

Tradie detected. Do you enjoy quick trip hot dogs as much as my crew did?

Not dissing QT.....it was fully endorsed by connoisseurs of fine gas station cuisine which is good enough for me.
