@tsar takes a seat at the table farthest from tsar and opens their book, completely absorbed

[Herja]

@tsar At least people aren’t parking their asses in the rafters. Back in the early 00s, there were places on IRC where you could find no less that half a dozen dark, brooding strangers hanging out there in the rafters.

[KarmaBum]

@tsar sits down next to tsar at the table and demands she tell me her entire life story in this, our first scene together, and also here’s all my backstory. Now we are best friends. Forever.

[Pavel]

No matter what you choose, the scene goes on for hours with nothing actually happening. Because scenes have to go on until one party dies.

Peeve: How certain names are forever ruined by your experience with them.

E.G. I went on a game to check things out and froze in my seat when I saw the name Eloise. I did what I could to make sure that /that/ player was not there before even going beyond guest bit.

I hate you with all the fire of my soul if I set being at the bar and you pose joining me at a table.

joins @tsar at the table and immediately demands to know all of history from the beginning

[Snackness]

@Herja If I could lurk in some rafters I almost certainly would.

@Herja I LOVED ME SOME RAFTER LURKING

[Herja]

Oh, I was right there in the rafters with everyone else. I was an archer with a dark and tragic past. Where else was I supposed to sit??

[BloodAngel]

@Herja IN A CHAIR IN THE RAFTERS!

[crawfish]

@Herja oh so that was you sitting next to me! I was the naked blue demon with spoons in her hair.

[Herja]

@crawfish I feel like this says so much about our relationship and role play styles, rofl

[crawfish]

@Herja hhahahahahah oh shit it does

[Herja]

@crawfish It’s like I’m the overdramatic Method actor that has like a full history of every character that no one else will ever see except revealed in small drips and drabs. You are a chaos demon that delights in putting together as weird of combinations for characters as allowed.

[crawfish]

@Herja You forgot the part about being naked.

Certain played-bys, too, which is a bummer. There are a couple actors with faces I find very evocative but they’re too strongly associated with Annoyances in my brain for me to ever use.

This. There’s a handful of very skilled actors that I can’t not associate with people I’d rather never think about again, and it kind of sucks.

[MisterBoring]

That’s part of the reason I don’t use played-bys for my characters, and pretty much ignore them on wikis and stuff. I don’t want to ruin an actor in my mind if my interaction with a character using them as a played-by turns out terrible.

[Floof]

@Third-Eye I’ve stolen these sorts of PBs to reassociate them in my head, honestly. Not, like, on the same game. But other places. Because if anyone’s going to ruin a PB for me, it’ll be me, dammit.
