[quote=@The New Yorker] Its a matter of how they write it. Honestly, it seems like these conversations could realistically be addressed with a "thank you," and a shy nod. RPing is a collaborative medium. And, certainly, outright ignoring the dialogue of others is rude. But we have to consider the interests of others as well. If a player feels like their character wouldn't engage heavily in a certain discussion, and does so respectfully, we ought to respect that. A silver lining in the whole business is that you and SirBeowulf can spark up a conversation of your own. [/quote] [@Fairess][@The New Yorker] Perfectly said. However, I intend to kill two birds with one stone. I'll address Catarina and Wes, in one post, wherein, Omero, who can freely engage Artemisia on conversation, but I don't think Artemisia would trust him enough no matter what he said to leave the company of good cheer, food and excitement. Then, that would leave either of you the option to respond directly back to me (: or carry on elsewhere. The point of our collab basically is for an introductory dialogue between the two of our characters. Or I would at least assume :gray:
