opinions?
Observing in public for educational purposes is something I think everyone new to Rp should do or those getting back into it for a while.
Observing for the purpose of gathering IC knowledge is a little different though. I always try to emote something so people "know" Ros is active ICly and listening to them to give them a chance to reply. IMO it's kinda dick to just stand there silently then turn around and be like "Oh, I heard you that night."
Ex: Roswyn leans against the nearby pillar, eyes focused ahead and her ears pricked forward. She occasionally peers to her right, sipping her drink in hand before looking ahead again.
It's too easy for people to assume you're afk/chatting in LS/tabbed out etc.
