Maybe they're reading a book in the street, and as they're walking, they trip over another character. I recommend sending a tell that you do want to roleplay, and your character is just an antisocial grump, to keep it going. He could bump into people, accidentally spill drinks on people, mistake someone for somebody else... the possibilities are endless.I used this maneuver to my character's advantage yesterday. She's very shy and backwards, but she also hates offending people, so she always is quick to make sure that the other person isn't mad/offended/etc.
As a crippling shy person myself, OOC tells are my greatest resource. I've discussed this in another thread: it is far from a necessity, but in my opinion, it makes you just that more likely to keep the roleplay flowing.
I made it my only shy character a complete klutz so I could get random RP whenever I wanted. You'd be surprised at where a simple trip gets you, especially if you trip over a pirate or a similarly questionable type.
I'm on a ps3, and sometimes things don't render right away, including player characters. So Eorla was in The Quicksand yesterday, standing at an unpopulated rail...or so she thought. Suddenly she's standing almost IN a Roegadyn. Turned it to my advantage. Made her jump in shock and stammer out an apology...led to a refreshing RP session and a new friend for Eorla.Â
