These LARPers are so fascinating, they have a "script" that they go through, like they imagined how things would play out, and when their target goes "off script" they just kind of reset and try again. Like, this is a person who consumes an obscene amount of fiction and can no longer tell fiction from reality, and thinks they are the protagonist of their neighbourhood or something, and don't understand that the movies don't reflect real life at all, and real life isn't scripted and they don't "win" just because they think they're the good guy.
I saw it a lot with the QANON people, when reality would confront their fantasy, they would insist reality itself is wrong, and would try to reinforce their LARP by repeating lines in their "script" until they could ignore their cognitive dissonance.
