The IC meet thread

Can Richard meet Mallory for a possible friendship?

I was wondering how many paragraphs do you usually type for a reply? I only ask because I tend to type 2 - 6 paragraphs (or more if I really get into a RP.)

I like your idea for why Mallory would be in the Middle ring. Richard could be taking a walk around the same area that Mallory is in and they could run into each other. Richard always has an interest in meeting new people.

I was just wondering about the post length. No problems there. I just like to know for reference.

Yo, people, I have some ideas so here goes. First off; I'm looking for characters to have a thread with either:
- Neil, who is a dealer, and a pretty assholish and opportunistic one at that, though he is certainly not just black and white evil; he is a combination of stupid, reckless choices of his own and a product of his upbringing and environment. He is fully to blame, yet at the same time not likely to have ended up any other way.
 - Then there's Scott who works and lives in Inner, but isn't really the type for it and actually has a harder time making ends meet than it seems. He's a tad grumpy, though certainly not a bad person. Has a passion for music and just kind of wants stuff to get better. Seems to attract trouble against his will.
- Cecilia, a World Council member and a pretty power-hungry one at that. Not the kindest lady, though more ambitious and a hard worker than genuinely mean. She does look down a bit on people from the lower regions and is rather entitled.
- I also wouldn't mind another topic with Niodin, who is a guard who is actually an infiltrant from the resistance. Dude has, understandably, a few trust issues and isn't the most social one, so he might need a nudge in the right direction.

Now, for the ideas:
- In Neil's case a character that he, unexpectedly, can become friends with in the long run can be interesting. Neil letting someone in can really damage his ability to always let himself come first and might even cause him to slip up.
- One of our characters is on the run from the cops (can be justified, can be a set-up) and the other helps him or her out
- Both characters are lost in a ring they don't belong in and happen to run into each other, after which they decide to just try and figure it out together. Will likely work best with Scott or Neil.
- A resistance member and a government member, who do not know each other, get stuck in the same place
- The characters are in an abandoned location and happen to overhear something they should not (I'd like to use Neil for this, as he's the most likely to go to a place like that in the first place)

Am always open to more ideas, of course.

My only Middle ring character is Bryce Logan, a foul-mouthed party animal with his heart in the right place, who is quite social, but I think I can cook up a reason to be in Middle for a visit for some of my other characters as well.
Scott Donoghue (described him in my previous post) would likely prefer going to Middle if he goes for a drink, so that's an option as well.
Erin is Inner ring, but she's not the sort to feel too good for other rings, so she could work as well. She's intelligent, compassionate, but really doesn't like confrontations. She's allied with the resistance as well, but currently doesn't play a very active role either.

Anything in there you think would work?

Well, Bryce borders on being a little homophobic in the sense that he's not very comfortable with guys hitting on him, so him having to deal with a guy flirting with him again (Iah did that as well) could be funny, as he has no right to complain whatsoever since he himself hits on girls a fair bit. However, getting Bryce really angry is hard, so an argument would be less likely to happen. He's just too easy-going, I think. He's usually up for a brawl, though, but that's more in good fun, as far as he's concerned.

Scott's response to being flirted with by someone he's not into himself would most likely result in him just being direct about it and resuming whatever it is he'd been doing before that :') Though drunk Scott is a little more likely than Bryce to get himself in a heated argument, but he does need a push, being rather introverted.

So yeah, them meeting while going out could definitely work. Or maybe a situation in which they, for some reason, are forced to rely on one another? I don't mind having a thread set in a club or bar, but with Bryce I already have one, so for him something slightly different would maybe be more interesting for me.
Maybe the characters get stuck in a building together, after it's been locked down for the night. Or perhaps Bryce has gotten himself into trouble again, has to run like a mofo and gets unexpected help from Roque? Just brainstorming a bit here

Brb, dinner ^^

That's so nice to hear : D
Hmm, how about this: Bryce fucks up - again, because he is Bryce Logan, careful is not in his dictionary - and gets tailed by, say a cop or something, or just some rando he pissed off. He convinces Roque, whom he meets along the way, to help him, as he figures going indoors would be best way to shake his 'enemy' off. The location Roque thought would be a good one turns out to be closed, but now he's been seen in Bryce' presence, which probably makes him a target as well. So together they find a new spot, which is an open door to some store's backroom. Door shuts, they hide, but once they come out of hiding, the place is locked down. And there is no telling wether they're their on their own or wether the chaser has snuck in with them >: D
