RP Comedy

I was a brand new player on Darkspires. My character approached the scene of… something going on, to find bits and pieces of some creature that had been splattered.
Branwen (RIP Usekh), having noticed my character’s queasiness, flew down in crow form (Darkspires was a game taking place in the Dresden Files universe), picked up a… ewh… testicle, and wiggled it at my character. “Is this yours?”
I hurt myself laughing… then the damned bird swallowed it. xD

I enjoy humor in my RP.
Today while listening to @Snackness talk about one of her scenes, I was reminded of the time me and @KarmaBum had characters “escaping” a hospital via icy fire escape and just… failing
Over and over.
It was a good time.
Give me yours!
You and @Rathenhope tried to KILL ME WITH A CAR.
Oh man, that was a brilliant one. Fucking Erik.

I always had fun with the concept of messengers on Arx, but one of my favorite memories was receiving a really spicy one after one of those big assemblies and just on a whim wondering, ok but what if my character said something really dumb and fucked this up? Knowing the other player would run with it.
The growing disgust in her responses while we cackled OOC was just
It’s stuff like that that makes me miss having the spoons to play, and remember this hobby fondly!

I always enjoyed getting messengers on the tortise that arrived months after the fact.

I loved the one I got lol
-
@tsar I was so confused when I got one and then I figured it out and was SO DELIGHTED!
-
@Tez Oh my GOD how dare you compliment me SO STEALTHILY by @ing me
AND THE PPL THAT UPDOOTED YOU
I LOVE YOU ALL im cry ;_;
I love comedy in RP. A lot of my friends are fucking great at it and I am 100% shamelessly biased. My favorite kind of RP comedy is the kind where it’s not just amusing, it’s side-splitting hilarious and it affects YOU as the PLAYER so now you get to channel that mirth AUTHENTICALLY through your character.
There have been multiple times where I’ve posed my character trying to resume the flow of the scene but then having to continue laughing in the middle of it because I was still cracking up. Shout out to @ham @sao and @Pyrephox
Naturally, @Tez is amazing at it too. I haven’t played too much with @tsar but I STILL remember how amused I was when Erik came to patch up Gil’s broken nose. scar has been absolutely killing me.
-
Me and @hellfrog and @Rathenhope being elitist and wearing hats.
-
@Yam the praise of the praiseworthy is the highest honor. you are consistently funny.
-
I keep struggling to come up with specific examples of things that were hilarious, and yet so many of my favorite RPers have made me laugh. One shout out:
@junipersky Whoever is next the Dominus is still going to have an inexplicable stick tchotchke in the Dominus’s room.
-
@sao I GOT TO RP ABOUT THE STICK!! I think. Maybe. I might’ve just been examining every single object in your room and every object within an object. I feel like I ICly asked about that stick though.
Also how could I forget @Rathenhope who ALWAYS rolls with the punches for comedy. I am particularly fond of a fish-out-of-water character he played in a WoD game with me.
-
@Yam so help me I’ll get a newspaper and bap you with it.
-
@Yam RPing with you and Tez is one of my biggest most sparkly RP highlights of 2022. Top 3. Hands down.
-
@Yam yes, you looked at the object ooc and asked why and I made Eiran rp with Aureth abt why there was a stick there, while giggling mostly
-
So many funny moments, but a very non-exhaustive list:
@tsar more than one ridiculous bowling alley scene on multiple games, how do we always end up in bowling alleys??
@bear_necessities agree re: the fridge (also @KarmaBum)
@Pyrephox for the best/worst/best non-date date, complete with star-studded cake
@sao with the most amazing dialogue I’ve ever seen in a barfight
@Yam my pc trying to diffuse a situation and yam pc coming in with “YEAH AND YOU’RE UGLY TOO”
@Roz’s excellent poking of all my stoics
@Tat I remember a scene on SL where we got very drunk and ended up in a lake (predictably @tsar also there being hilarious)OH YEAH AND @Rathenhope stealing a candy jar from a bank instead of money
-
-
@tsar OF COURSE
-
My character and his sigot getting caught in a met trap (for pirates?) and flung into the air upside down. She was squeamish about bugs and he was trying fruitlessly to blow, stare, wriggle a bug innocently marching right to her. I think @KarmaBum saved them.
-
@heysparky hah! I remember that. IIRC, Thez showed up completely unprepared to help with anything (as was his custom) and wound up dangling from the rope at one point before he let go and they just thumped to the ground.
I miss that idiot PC.
