If I feel uncomfortable with an RP situation, I just remember that i'm not actually the one facing it.I can appreciate that, in the spirit of RP. I don't necessarily want my chars to have peaches and cream and rainbow-crapping unicorns, because Eorzea (and life in general) is tough. There are bound to be bad things that happen.Â
Mak's pretty naive, though, but when it'd turn something like that, he's built in a way where he'd literally pick up his stuff and walk away from the person.
Eorla got a huge Roe fist to her jaw when she witnessed him yelling at a Mi'qote girl, calling her a whore. They were at the table next to hers, so I reached out OOCly to both the Roe and the Mi'qote, explained that my character would normally say something in a case like this, and I wanted to make sure that was okay with them before she did. They both responded warmly, and the RPer of the Roe said "My char will probably try to punch yours in the face, because he's a jerk. If you're okay with that, you're more than welcome to jump in!" And I am okay with that, because that kind of stuff can happen, and is a risk when you stand up for people who you feel are being wronged. I also knew that Eorla, being completely useless in physical combat, would not be able to dodge it. And she didn't. And I was OOCly okay with that. The Mi'qote healed most of the damage (after Eorla came to, lol), and whispered her thanks to Eorla for sticking up for her.Â
But OOCly, in the case I stated in my OP, I know that my character is not comfortable saying no to people, and I didn't want to put her in the position where saying no would be even more awkward, both IC and OOCly. And in hindsight, in reading a lot of input and advice, I groaned out loud because there were so many things I could have done and didn't even think of. I'm thankful that the person I was chatting OOCly with came up with a solution for it. It was kind of like the RP version of the girl code.
