I gotta do this thing IRL and it would be supremely funny if I went as a libertarian.

Just be as much of a contrarian as possible really. Devise elaborate, implausible imaginary situations to explain why any human interaction is a violation of your rights. Do strawman misunderstanding of socialism.

The thirsty in the desert metaphor is one they use a lot, or the "you have two cows." You're thirsty in the desert, a capitalist offers you water for 3 days of work, but the socialist says you have to wait your turn to drink no matter how much work you do.

Libertarianism is the ideology of 13 year old white kids who grow up comfortable and bored, so just channel that.
