“Bluewall” RP

There you were… minding your own business then you’re RP Bluewalled! Out of the blue, you’re in a RP scene or exchange…
Eep! Someone is talking to me!

First, don’t panic. Really… don’t! *grin*

Second, reply in kind, as you think you would if you were IC. (Think how your character might reply in the game’s setting.) Even a simple “Hello.” is something. Who knows, you might just have found someone to rp with. Playing along may open a few doors and some fun. Remember - a brief exchange does not bond you to another for “life”. Just like in everyday life, you will meet good and not-so-good people. You also see them once in a while or never again. Just be cool, be IC and do what you would do in character “normally”.

Note: If you are not ready for it just yet, just let the person know OOC via Whisper using (( )) to show it’s OOC. Most will be understanding, and may be good people in the future when you are ready. Don’t be afraid to try to “wing it”. *grin*

I can’t think of anything to say! Okies, you’ve encountered RPer’s Block. It’s like writer’s block. All thoughts turn to mush and have no clue what to type. It does happen, but just be calm. Wing it as best you can and try to get your “second wind”. If all fails, send a quick whisper and let the person know what’s up so he/she can understand and maybe help.

If you are not actively in a conversation, you can move to another or leave. Just act “natural” *grin*. In large groups and events, playing the wallflower can work since these tend to be rather scattered and hard to maneuver through. You may be able to find a smaller group or a person in the crowd to speak to and recover a bit.
