....No, really sometimes I feel like I'm drawing flowcharts and stuff that led to this exact moment until people are like "I get it, no worries."
I honestly prefer that over radio silence and then finding out later I triggered someone or they were unhappy with a scene. ...There's a time and place for it, but I think a lighthearted OOC conversation can help keep a scene going sometimes. Especially if the IC motivations are still being worked on. Or if there are potential IC issues that could arise that'd be easily solved with a simple "what?! I need some clarification."
This please!
While it hasn't happened in FFXIV as I simply haven't done enough I have had this problem elsewhere. Was roleplaying with someone and they quickly got bored of it. Later admitted they wanted to incorporate some mature thing I won't go into. After talking to me a bit and seeing my character they apparently thought I wouldn't be okay with it.* Truth was it wasn't something that bothered me and I didn't care so long as my character was not harmed.
* I apparently seem SUPER innocent/conservative/whatever to some people. To give an example, going through high school people would think I didn't swear and then were shocked when I finally had a reason to. I'll admit there's some truth to it but come on people I'm not some delicate flower!
