There are a lot of really good responses in this thread, and I hope people are keeping them all in mind when approaching strangers. Now, let's take a look at how our characters behave when they're the ones getting approached.
There you are, either minding your own business or perhaps engaged in casual conversation with somebody else, and a total unknown approaches you and begins to insert themselves into the conversation. Under what circumstances would your character go along with this? Antihero loners, I'm especially interested in your responses.
Bear in mind that these responses can, but don't have to, include instances where your character is in an extremely important or personal conversation when this happens. If your character would balk at an unknown third party getting involved in that, that is fine, and doesn't need to be addressed.
Again, Verad's:
1. The most common instance of this is when a third party interrupts Verad's sales pitch in order to provide their own commentary, whether that's to derail the sale, question the sanity of his business, or try and escalate the pitch further by suggesting even more dubious products. He always gamely attempts to incorporate the questions.
2. Somebody is actually approaching him about buying or selling dubious goods unprompted. Verad would be so ecstatic that he'd probably drop whatever he's doing, up to and including his own wedding, to conduct the transaction.
3. If somebody were to approach Verad claiming to know him or remember his actions from the larger blank space in his past that is not represented by his memoirs, he would be skeptically interested in learning more.
4. Anybody challenging his self-proclaimed status as Eorzea's Greatest Archer (Pending Certain Conditions) and Lover, among other grandiose titles, would immediately start a blustering match.
5. Verad is a sucker for a sob story or somebody in need of emotional support, and he will always be happy to lend an ear to somebody in a bad spot. Even if his advice is often terrible.
