You've captured my typical rp experience to the "t" when it comes to spontaneous or walk up rp.
Allow me to introduce my ULTIMATE RANDOM WALK-UP RP TECHNIQUE!!!!!!
You're hanging out at the Quicksand, you see a miqo'te walk in named... Jeff. You would like to RP with Jeff so what do you do?
So-and-so walks up to Jeff, waving and smiling brightly! "CARL!!! How are you doing? I haven't seen you in years!"
Jeff looks confused... "Wh-what? My name is Jeff...."
And boom, there you go. How did you mistake Jeff for Carl? You now have a jumping off point for a conversation.
I cannot tell you how many times I've done this and it's worked almost every time to meet a new person.
