The Quicksand is a great place to meet and mingle, but if it's plot you're looking for, things may have to go a bit beyond that! I use it for pretty much the same purpose -- meeting people. I actually just go stand there and figuratively flex on my character until I have a couple new contacts to play with (by flex I mean: Look interesting to those willing to approach, and be willing to approach those who look interesting).Â
Once that's done, the OOC communication opens up. Hi hello, nice to meet you, I had fun! What time do you usually roleplay, would you like to roleplay some more? Your character mentioned X, Y, Z, that sounds interesting! Can I get my guy in on that? Yeah? Awesome! Hey look, I don't have all that much time to play in game but I would still love to be involved! Do you have an account on the RPC so we can PM? Or tumblr, maybe, or skype if you're comfy with that?
I should also point out that it is sometimes crucial to bend your character concept a little to get into things. I'm not knocking your character, or saying anything is wrong with him. It's just a little bit of advice that I've found PRICELESS when trying to get into the swing of things. For example, PLOT OF ALL PLOTS is about to begin, and to get involved, Kale will have to eat mushrooms on a pizza. BUT KALE HATES MUSHROOMS ON PIZZA, BLECH. NO WAY. But if he doesn't eat the mushrooms, you're gonna be hard pressed! People may argue that NURR I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE MY CHARACTER EAT THE MUSHROOMS...but in reality, if people want something, sometimes compromise must be made. So: OH WELL, MAYBE HE'LL EAT THEM THIS ONCE BUT GODDAMN WILL HE BITCH ABOUT IT AND GET A CASE OF THE HERSHEY SQUIRTS AFT-- well, you get the idea. BAM. PLOT OF ALL PLOTS ATTAINED.Â
When time is short, keeping as many channels of communication open as possible, as well as opening initiative when you DO have the time can mean the difference between fulfilling enjoyment and being on the sidelines. The internet is rife with tools to do so with willing people -- and believe me, there are a LOT of willing people.Â
Hell, I might hit you up sometime and see what you have to offer, since there's a bit of a murder mystery AND a huge quarrel with the Corpse Brigade involved in my FC's plot. I'm open to connecting, so let's see how we can get it done. With regard to the rest, good luck!
