Two or more characters or groups are involved in a "conflict" that they at first glance seem to take very seriously. Yeah, there's a huge war going on here. They really hate each other. Well, except that they don't. It's just a game, and there's actually no hard feelings involved. They simply fight each other because they know they all enjoy it and are comfortable to trust that no one gets hurt for real. They might even have a [[Safe Word]].

* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'': Much like the Valhalla example above, Billy finds himself in the Asgard world after being transported via an electrical discharge on Grim's scythe (switching places with a norseman, no less). He enjoys the feasting, but tries to convince Thor that they didn't need to fight. They both die on the battlefield, but only for a few moments.
{{quote|'''Thor''': You see Billy, there's no need to worry. We fight for fun in Valhalla. And if we are slain, we end up back here in the feast hall.
'''Billy''': Cool! Let's eat! }}
