Merri Posted January 31, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2014 Hey there~ I'm Merri! I sat here for a bit, contemplating whether or not I ought to make a post like this. I inevitably decided I would, though I'll try to keep it to the point. Long story short, I keep busy in-game. Between endgame and other commitments, it's been difficult as of late for me to really find many meaningful connections in-character. I've my friends and the like, but they also have friends, linkshells, and FCs. That's more or less the point where I feel like my connections come up short, as they naturally keep busy with their respective groups. While I obviously find time to roleplay with them still, a lot of the time I find myself without much to do outside of bumming around the adventurer's guilds, hoping something comes along. I'm unable to join a Free Company, as I'm already in an endgame FC that I simply don't want to leave. I've been with them since 1.0 and they're basically family to me at this point. I've thought about joining linkshells, but even then I'm not sure how much time I could dedicate to it, nor would it be easy to justify my character joining one due to his prior affiliations. (Namely with his own linkpearl, the Blue Skies, which I'm slowly working on rekindling.) So, tavern roleplay is generally what I find, and it really only goes so far in most cases. There's exceptions, naturally, and I've met some people with whom I've developed lasting connections, but such occasions seem few and far in between for me. So I guess the point of this thread here is to throw my hat in the ring for some new connections and friendships! I absolutely love meeting new people, and I think it's about time I start branching out some more. Whether it's just with one person, or a few members of a linkshell, or an entire Free Company-- ...I'm game, so long as my independence isn't really an issue. Maybe your character is eager to pair up with a veteran of the adventuring trade. Maybe your Free Company is in need of a seasoned Magitek Engineer for whatever reason. Hell, maybe your character just needs more friends in general. I'd like to think Merri could fit the bill, and then some~ Feel free to drop a line here, or give me a poke in-game if you'd like to see if something can't be sparked up!

Lenna Faris-Mynhier Posted January 31, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2014 Wanna hang with me? I'm fairly new here, but not to rp. I'm looking to expand my circles too. Link to comment
Shizuno Posted January 31, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2014 If you'd like, you could join the Hungry Wolf IC, but remain just a part of our linkshell. We're still small, but we really are looking to expand. If you're interested, lemme know. Link to comment
KitKat Posted January 31, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi. I roleplay* and also need to expand my social circle. I would be more than happy to, err, play with you. *"Roleplay" is used very loosely as I consider myself a roleplayer but cannot seem to bring myself into it here but would very much like to.

ArmachiA Posted January 31, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2014 I run an endgame FC myself (That is also extremely plot heavy Roleplay wise so I'm always having to play GM) and I get it can be hard to make a lot of connections with how much little time you have, I do see you running around when I am so maybe we're on the same schedule which will make this easier ;o. Many moons ago me and you played with the idea of Merri meeting Loki so she could get to work on her Magitek leg (Which still isn't a thing *sigh* SO MANY PLOTS) because Merri is big into that but you never really got back with me ^^;. If that would be a plot you'd be interested in (I can even have you meet some of our engineers in the Night Blades, for more connections) let me know. I can set something up. Link to comment
Aya Posted January 31, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 31, 2014 Aya would definitely like to make a new friend! As Shizu mentioned our FC is also trying to recruit for RP Link to comment
Xydane Vale Posted January 31, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 31, 2014 Go ahead and shoot me a friend request whenever I'm online, Merri. I won't say no to more connections. Link to comment
Lhea Korolon Posted February 1, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 1, 2014 I'm New to Balmung and Don't know many people!! I would love to meet some more people and expand my Friend list some! plus new people <333 My name is Lhea Korolon in game when im online !! Link to comment
Gar Posted February 1, 2014 Share #9 Posted February 1, 2014 I almost tried to RP with you the other night, actually. Add me to the list of people, here. In fact, I'm going to be vulturing this thread to get a hold of some of the other people who are looking for more connections. See you in Eorzea. Link to comment
Merri Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted February 1, 2014 I really appreciate all the responses! So, thanks to everyone who posted here, those who sent me PMs, and those who poked me in-game. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to meet you all! I'll say now that I'll be doing my best to get around to everyone, so don't fret too much if it takes me a bit to reach you! I'm not really going about things in any particular order, of course. Already spoke with you, Lenna, so we've got that ground covered there. If you'd like, you could join the Hungry Wolf IC, but remain just a part of our linkshell. We're still small, but we really are looking to expand. If you're interested, lemme know. Gonna lump you and Aya togethere here. I'd have to give it a glance over. I think the biggest issue that I can see from the start is Merri's reluctance to really be anyone's "employee" so to speak. He's very much his own boss, and definitely places a high amount of value in his freedom. He's not above helping people or working for coin, but he's not one to really be lead around. Either way, maybe we could figure something out~ Hi. I roleplay* and also need to expand my social circle. I would be more than happy to, err, play with you. *"Roleplay" is used very loosely as I consider myself a roleplayer but cannot seem to bring myself into it here but would very much like to. Friends are friends. I'd be happy to roleplay with you some time~ Go ahead and shoot me a friend request whenever I'm online, Merri. I won't say no to more connections. You got it. I'm New to Balmung and Don't know many people!! I would love to meet some more people and expand my Friend list some! plus new people <333 My name is Lhea Korolon in game when im online !! Hey there! I'll be sure to keep an eye out~ I run an endgame FC myself (That is also extremely plot heavy Roleplay wise so I'm always having to play GM) and I get it can be hard to make a lot of connections with how much little time you have, I do see you running around when I am so maybe we're on the same schedule which will make this easier ;o. Many moons ago me and you played with the idea of Merri meeting Loki so she could get to work on her Magitek leg (Which still isn't a thing *sigh* SO MANY PLOTS) because Merri is big into that but you never really got back with me ^^;. If that would be a plot you'd be interested in (I can even have you meet some of our engineers in the Night Blades, for more connections) let me know. I can set something up. I do remember that, now that you mention it! Truth be told, I would love to start delving into some more magitek related roleplay. It's such an important aspect of my character, and I really feel like it comes up short, as most people I've met thus far don't really have any particular interest in it. Anyways, yeah, we could absolutely see about getting something like that going. Though I'll say it now (and I think I said it back then), it would take quite a lot to get Merri to part his lips on that whole subject, let alone fix some one up. That, and he's not the one who could actually do the real work. That'd be another character of mine. Merri just knows how to build and maintain his own prosthetics. I'll try and get ahold of you here relatively soon and we'll see if we can't get the ball rolling this time around~ I almost tried to RP with you the other night, actually. Add me to the list of people, here. In fact, I'm going to be vulturing this thread to get a hold of some of the other people who are looking for more connections. See you in Eorzea. Absolutely! I actually had a similar thought, honestly. I mean, if I'm just out roleplaying and some one else pokes me, the more the merrier, right? (Don't shoot me.) Connections are connections. Hope to see you around! ...Man, more and more people keep posting and I keep going back to add them in. Gonna cut myself off here for now before this post becomes a black hole that sucks in the rest of the page. Thanks, guys! Link to comment
Lottie Posted February 1, 2014 Share #11 Posted February 1, 2014 You already know Lottie and him have grown to be close friends, but I'd love if he'd involve her in more of those adventures we spoke about and help her get out of that shy shell! :3 But that goes for other folks too! She can be a tad distant with strangers but don't feel discouraged! She's just naturally derp when it comes to new people. She usually gets stopped to heal others or recognize her as one of the healers for the Grindstone events, so don't feel afraid to approach, even when she's running around and being stressed out for no reason.

FreelanceWizard Posted February 1, 2014 Share #12 Posted February 1, 2014 If you might be interested in meeting an excitable practitioner of the arcane arts (who would be absolutely intrigued by the perspective of a magitek engineer), then by all means, please give me a poke. And that goes for anyone else posting on this thread, too! Link to comment
Faye Posted February 1, 2014 Share #13 Posted February 1, 2014 I'm always happy to role-play and meet new people. Feel free to say hello anytime you see me in-game! Furthermore, if you see anyone with a <> tag running around, they likely wouldn't mind some role-play! Link to comment
Lhea Korolon Posted February 1, 2014 Share #14 Posted February 1, 2014 Yay I'll Be online mostly all today :3!! Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted February 1, 2014 Share #15 Posted February 1, 2014 Magitek Engineering, eh? I'd have to say Ellaria is also had been into Magitek science recently so I am sure both will just get along if they need to. Perhaps a small session would be nice! Link to comment
Merri Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #16 Posted February 1, 2014 I'm currently in-game and free until around 8:30 EST, so you're all welcome to give me a poke if you're up to it! Keeping my eyes out for others in the mean time~ Link to comment
Fulcrum Posted February 2, 2014 Share #17 Posted February 2, 2014 I still need to hire you for some magitek stuff. X.x Link to comment
TheUnknown Posted February 2, 2014 Share #18 Posted February 2, 2014 If you're one for random RP, then you're more than welcome to take notice of Raine walking about. If I'm online, there's a 95% chance I'm in character.Though of course if I'm already engaged in something like a raid run, that's obviously a time I'm not open for being poked. Good luck and happy hunting! Link to comment
Sophia_Grave Posted February 3, 2014 Share #19 Posted February 3, 2014 If you're ever looking for some conflict in your RP, I think we could figure something out, especially if you know your way around magiteck. Let me know if you're interested! Link to comment
Merri Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share #20 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks again, everyone! I'll try and poke each of you individually when I have the chance. Link to comment
Dyani Posted February 3, 2014 Share #21 Posted February 3, 2014 If you'd still like some more IC friends, Lyr is always open to meeting new people! I'm not on as much as I used to be, and PLOTS are happening, but I would still love to RP with you! Both you and your character seem really cool ^^ Link to comment
Almil Posted February 3, 2014 Share #22 Posted February 3, 2014 Well, Merri, you know I'm always ready to meet you *twirls hair* :angel: Also always ready to talk OOC if you get too bored! You have me in friendlist, gimme a poke! I've peer at your name many times, but I'm never sure how busy you are with things (might have those symbols that you're in dungeon or waiting for party etc). And...Almil is currently IC only in Gridania and Shroud....and you seem to be in wrong areas all the time for me to seek if you're IC or not. Come to think of it, Almil is planning a trip to go beyond Shroud, see more places. So she might need someone to come with her (she has ask someone to come with her but it doesn't seem likely atm that they'll join) , be her guide and keep her safe. She gets lost easily, has horrible sense of direction, and is clumsy and might fall of cliff or whatever, lol ^^ So if you feel Merri could join her even part of the way let me know! It can be from when she leaves Gridania (if Merri has any business there so they could meet!) or somewhere on the way of her journey. Though depending how long Merri would want to tag along with her it will take some hours of RP. And Almil will likely travel on foot, chocobo with her but she's not riding it much. She won't be teleport traveling, or using other transportation much. Because I just never felt comfortable with speedy traveling IC. I will be making many stops! Maybe Merri could walk with her from some camp to another? ^^ Now ... Merri and Almil met briefly in 1.0 but never became good friends. Since then Almil lost her memory. Merri might still -maybe- feel she looks familiar, but I'd be guessing he can't remember her after all this time either? ^^ Anyways, poke me here or in-game! Not 100% sure yet when Almil is going to leave the Black Shroud. Link to comment
S'maia Rahz Posted February 3, 2014 Share #23 Posted February 3, 2014 I, too, am always up for meeting new people IC. Janna's on a journey right now, which means that I'm not in my usual spot- but I could very well wind up coming to yours. Feel free to give me a shout any time and we'll see if we can sort something out I will say Janna doesn't know the first thing about any sort of engineering, but would likely find it to be very fascinating :geek: Link to comment
Nykkus Trachspyr Posted February 3, 2014 Share #24 Posted February 3, 2014 I am always happy to get involved with others on both of my characters, so please feel free to hit me up. Fortunately I am involved in a great FC with a story arc that lends to being very compatible to others. Look me up on either Nykkus or Rhuvian Vastitas. Side note: Rhu is quite evil, so perhaps avoid him unless you are looking for that sort of thing. Link to comment
