this for me is where events really come into play. i love seeing people that i already know ic for chit chat there but it's such a great way to have a causal meeting with someone. even more-so if they're at a more specialized event that caters to their characters (for example the crafting one on fridays i believe...) if clio was more into making things from raw materials (or artsy-crafty) she'd totes be there buzzing around the other crafters asking for tips, suggestions on projects and use that as an opener to get some conversation flowing.
tavern nights and fight nights are good for that as well; set up ooc a reason for each to be there and why then pop on in. works well for people you don't know but see sitting off to the side. give em a tell asking if they're up for rp then scoot over, compliment their clothes, drink/weapon choice or just a question in general. one i liked to use with people i know ooc but didn't get much chance to rp with ic is "i know this sounds like a pickup line and i swear it's not, but you do look familiar....have i seen you around ____?"
once the contact is made; it gives you option to get to know them for a little bit, then set up a time to meet again for mover conversation, once they've made ic "friend" status. then you can drag them into more detailed plots (as they can with you) and so on. as far as travel goes; i imagine it takes awhile but there's airships, boats, cocobo back. just say you've traveling for awhile to reach said destination. you don't have to make the trip out to someone each time, after the initial meeting; you can then invite them to vist you when they're closer to your home.
