The last few times I've been in RP, I've remarked about the skin color of a fellow Miqo'te. Â In-game (if not in the lore) the darker skin tones seem uncommon. Â Mia has dark blue grey skin so she feels a bit of kinship when she sees someone similar, especially if they are a Keeper. Â She might also feel the same way about white hair...or face scars.
What I've done lately (since it's so rare for me to even be in-game) is attend FC events or RP events posted in the forum here or on tumblr. Â Everyone is arguably there for the same reasons so you should at least have that in common with whoever you want to talk to. Â Hopefully, being an IC RP event, people are dressed in ways that might give you an way into conversation. "I love those boots! Â Where did you acquire them?"
If I'm out in the wild, if I see people speaking out in the open and it looks like open RP, I'll walk up, apologize for the interruption, and ask if they've seen Mia's sisters. Â Sometimes, I'll small talk for a while before doing that. Â Or I'll just "Finding Nemo" it and ask "have you seen my..."
Truthfully, that can be a little godmoddy because I'm basically shoving my plot in the middle of what they are doing. Â But real life is like that - people interrupt you. Â I've had people brush me aside or get irritated that I'm bothering them and I'll move on, just like I would in real life. Â To my knowledge, no one has got pissed OOC'ly.
