Usually Arvid will sit somewhere and eavesdrop, listen, stare into space, drink something and wait for something to laugh at/butt his head into the conversation over. Sometimes people get pissed off and tell my character to fuck off, I don't take it personally. That's a legit thing to say to someone who's eavesdropping and laughing at you. Other times when my character tries to insert himself into the conversation he gets ignored.. that's when you just find a different conversation to get involved in.
Sometimes, well, usually, it's a conversation in the Quicksand my character got ignored from that is SO OUTRAGEOUS that you can just walk up to someone who is RP walking and go 'YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD THOSE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT, IT'S LITERALLY INSANE!' ...Other people's RP can make RP hooks for you.
Or, there is the ever favourite, 'There's nowhere else to sit in here. Do you mind if I sit at this table with you?' Sit down, have your character eat/drink something, do some small talk and you might suddenly have a new friend. ...That's pretty much how I met my RP friend two years ago and we've been RPing ever since.
