Oh yes, eyeing them up is always a great ice breaker in Roleplay. Not always the case in real life, but here, most certainly!
Â
All jokes aside, there are two ways you can go about it which are received differently between roleplayers. I myself usually make my presence known by doing something alone as my character or just, as you say, examine the situation which displays that you are up for joining in with their consent.
Â
For example…
Â
Gene Hunt strolls through the pub, paying very little attention to those around him before hearing Sam Tyler’s comment. He smirks as he sits down at the bar, slamming his fist upon the counter to gain the bartender’s attention as he listens further…
Â
There is also the second option, which some people aren’t too fond of. It all depends on the roleplayer, I for one have no problem at all being approached this way, it sometimes makes for more fun and cuts straight to the chase.
Instant interaction, be it interest in their clothes, over hearing the conversation and chiming in, a pat on the back whilst agreeing with what a character just said or just asking a question. You don't have to be overly polite in considering yourself a possible annoyance for approaching people in character, no roleplayer should banish you for want of joining in. You always encounter that one bloke, who’s either drunk or just confident within himself in a bar that claps you on the shoulder and talks to you as though you've been best mates for years. My character is much like this, though again some people see it as an intrusion and shrug you off. You’ll never know until you’ve tested the waters and never be disheartened if that’s the case, take it as your character would take it, adapt to your roleplay surroundings!
As for whispering, I think it is /tell <name here>
