Walking around restocking lantern oil... what a fantastic idea!! 
Welcome to Balmung Elyscia! Your character looks charming! Â I too made a sort of a displaced foreigner to make up for the fact that I was new to FFXIV and lore. Â So that definitely helps with not knowing every ins-and-outs of Eorzea. Â AND my first exposure to roleplaying was with just ONE other player! Â (it was tabletop D&D though, years ago)
As for how to get with the roleplaying community, I think everyone already gave you some great advice. Â I too am a fan of roleplaying in /say, since if people are close enough to you, or you are talking in a normal voice, some others should be able to overhear. Â And it does allow for others to get involved! Â
Like Kiht said, roleplaying events are also great ways to meet folks. Â Grindstone is an example of a good opportunity to watch or participate even as an audience, and I got to meet Kiht! Â There is another one coming up this Saturday at Coffer and Coffin Tavern. Â I know it is a tavern social setting, but people will be showing up there looking to roleplay with others. Â Just keep that in mind when you bring your not-so-social-maybe-even-super-shy character around. Â Just make up an excuse that she would be there! Â I know I've come up with an IC reason to go even though my character wouldn't show up to a tavern just looking to hang out.
So anyways, I hope to see you in game soon, and if you see Roen around, she's quiet but a friendly sort. Â Feel free to say hi! Â I welcome random RP.
