Otherwise known as the "..."
So before I ask, usually there is a sort of pattern to rp when you talk with people. I'm referring to the you-post, they-post, you post, ect pattern. If your character likes to talk a lot, sometimes they can even get in a few more posts before the other person posts.
Then there's the mysterious "..." I know -what- it is, but it's used in a bunch of ways in video games, literature, and rp! I've seen it typed alone, usually meaning the character is at a loss for words or is remaining silent. There's also when it's used at the end of a sentence. Mostly from what I've seen, it's when a character hasn't yet completed their train of thought and either are hinting that you should inquire further, they do not wish to elaborate further, or (if they type fast) they will continue their sentence afterwards. This is sometimes done for dramatic effect~.Â
In the pattern rp (you post, they post, you post) how would you treat an "..." ? Would that be them skipping a turn and allowing you to post again? I do find some broody folks over-using it because their character is silent or grumpy... which just makes it my job to make the rp fun for everyone anyway (hehe, sometimes~)
So how do you approach the ellipsis? I just wanna ask everyone! Post away~!Â
