I mean, say your character is in a hectic pursuit of garleans... but you really want to attend that bakery cafe(sponsored by Mandragora's Munchiesâ„¢... Damn that rolanberry cheesecake!), do you just kinda pause the session and attend the event as if you weren't doing your plot and kinda leave it off your character's canon lore? Or is that just something that varies by an RP'ers intensity to keep a constant?
I'm pretty sure RPers still attend events when they're in a long term plot. Consider the fact that not everything you're doing has to be happening sequentially. You could've attended that event before, after, or during a break in your plot. You can put the event where you want it in your timeline though it could become a problem if you compare your timeline to others involved or if there was a development as a result of your plot.
But that's assuming you're keeping everything canon and not relying too heavily on time bubbles.
