I think public events are one of the potentially worse venues to go for someone green looking for connections. Most people going there are already in their circles and it can be incredibly hard to insert yourself somewhere, without even speaking about the huge amounts of scrolling chat and whatnot. It's overwhelming for a lot of people. This is especially true if you try to portray a shy character or a character that is not especially prone to make the leap and start conversations, or if you are just shy/anxious IRL.
Well I know that opinion is probably going against what's generally offered to new people around there, but I stand by it.Â
Anyway, that being said, on entering public RP, I usually play it as fair game. I will always take into account someone intruding in a RP I'm in (unless the people I'm playing with really don't want to...).Â
But that also means since everything IC being fair game, be prepared to get told to fuck off depending on your approach. I mean, my character has already been approached when she had a discussion with friends in the streets by someone that was just being creepy, and being overly clingy even when told "what the heck do you want"... Well, the only logical answer was showing teeth and yell "fuck off".
