My usual strategy at that point is to look at whatever info is available on their character, brainstorm 2-3 locations our characters could conceivably overlap, and offer all of them as suggestions.
Then once we’ve picked a spot and the scene starts, it’s just a matter of picking something that brings the characters into contact ASAP. Either that’s posting a starter the other person can directly respond to, or responding to their starter in a way that gives them something to work on. A scene can still be shaped a couple poses in - you’ve almost always got more time to figure out what you’re doing than the 30 seconds before you have to answer that question in your scenario. You’ve just got to break it down into smaller steps.

you know, it’s hard to want to play somewhere when all it seems to attract are actors that want to play damaging stereotypes (keep playing up the Slavic accent for yuks, I see you.) and use wildly outdated and offensive language in their (as yet unapproved – but, seriously) descriptions.

The urge to disappear forever when the Interesting Conflict Dynamic was not actually that. As ever, I am my own biggest peeve.

Anyone who uses typed out nigh-incomprehensible accents in the year 2024 should be fired into the sun.

@Pavel I ardently agree

People who are consistently always nice to staff.
… And only to staff.

Believe it or not, but you don’t actually have to touch a woman in every single scene you’re in. It’s weird, creepy, and gross.

Seeing cool new characters that look like they might be fun to RP with but not wanting to instantly PM them and come off creepy/overexcited/stalkery/etc.

Jill guest still making the rounds!
Annoying? Yes. Impressive?
… in a way, yes. It’s been fucking 20 years.

This is some torch being tossed down is it not?
Like one day you’re brought into a room and told this is a sad job but if you don’t do it the aliens will descend and destroy us all.
One of those mysteries that means very little that we will never have the satisfaction of solving will be the niche Jill the Guest mystery.

What if Jill actually is one of the aliens, desperate to connect with humanity? But sadly all they know of human culture is volleyball and high school sports physicals.
You’re not fooling me, Jill. You’re not fooling me!
