You'll need a license from Lucas Pope, and a permit from the venue. The permit-issuing authority will want to see your license before granting the permit, and Lucas will need to see your permit before granting the license, but you can get around this by obtaining a provisional temporary interim permit from the protests and demonstrations secretary at the mayor's office. You will need to claim that the LARP is actually a protest against government bureaucracy, which it is, technically, albeit satirical. That permit is only valid for the grassy verge between the sidewalk and the west wall of the city government annex. So you will need to apply for a change of venue on your real permit application, which requires approval from the police chief. Since the best place is the county administration center, you will also need to get approval from the sheriff. Now the sheriff and the police chief don't like each other, and won't agree on anything, so you will need to make the first approval look like a rejection to get the second. I'm sure you can figure it out from there. Good luck. There's nothing else that I can do for you without possibly getting fired.
And I'll agree this quote seems pulled right out of Papers, Please
