Most of my RP circle has had their head down doing the HW content and has been taking a break from RP in the interim. I had one interaction with an Au Ra claiming to be someone I already knew and responded to it with disbelief.Â
I'm actually not sure how I'm going to handle a lot of it. A dozen or so people I know, and about a half a dozen of my RP partners, had a race change into the same race that's never before been seen. That's pretty freaky.
It's really, really hard for me to not think that my character would notice this "pattern" and think "there's more to this than people are letting on," but at that point I think my response is getting too meta especially since the ultimate answer to the question of "why so many people transformed into Au Ra" is "because you are a video game character Lilia."Â That's a bit too fourth-wall-breaking for me.Â
So I dunno. I think I'll just take it at face value for the most part and try to go along with it. I just wish so much of my RP in the near future wasn't going to be variations on the exact same theme (wow, you're an Au Ra now!) because it's going to get stale pretty quickly. I wish I could just fast forward past it and carry on with actual non-race-change-related RP. So maybe I'll just have Lilia passively take notice of it and somehow decide that it's not a big deal, just in the interest of it not consuming all of my RP going forward.
Of course this is going to depend on whether everyone else takes this approach because there's certainly going to be one or two characters who feel like they're living in a world full of insane people. Though in fairness it does make sense for Lilia to contribute to this since she's kind of dense when it comes to things that are obvious to everyone else.
