That's what I'm aiming for right there. The reason I say it's long-term is you can't just forge bonds of friendship without the work/chemistry, and I expect a false start or two.

It would be lovely meeting you in game and maybe share some reading tips!
It would actually be nice to run into another bookish character, he'd immediately have something to talk about that might get him distracted enough to forget he's talking to a complete stranger.

I suppose I should just start doing that. He's already had one person tell him to "get used to it" (that is, being around more people), it might be enough of an excuse on its own.

And this is why I don't want to completely revolutionize his personality--he's compelling like this, he's fun and different from what I usually play, but I'm sure he's getting a little frustrating to the people around him. He's gotta start growing and this is a good place to start.

Marcy has experience working rooms and is an extroverted, obnoxious, annoying and pestering insect that will go out of his way to make people feel included. I like hitting up events myself, and hover around even if I am performing that night -- if you see me, feel free to toss me a tell. Or get in touch with me in game! I swear, my character might start giving lessons on public confidence at this rate (and I am very okay with that).
I will probably take your suggestion and just have him show up at stuff, and if I see you around I will message you.

Sorry he was so curt with her, but he had a good reason. Given a few more days to cool off he'll be more approachable. I'll try to message you if I see you on.
