[@Leoven] You don't always have to be up in an other character's face to interact with them. You can also indirectly collaborate. Like how [@Synthesis] and [@Americore] used a text message to establish contact between their characters while still leaving themselves free. But it doesn't even have to be "that" direct. Giving a public speech, breaking a window, leaving a gift box, there are many things that can be done to snag another character's attention without directly collaborating with them.
