( SETTING INTERACTION. )
As of 2/3/24, this is the new page where all character interactions with the setting/explorations/etc unrelated to events will reside. Here are some examples of the types of things to post on this page:
- My character would like to search the library for xyz, would they find anything?
- My character is going to approach an NPC outside of an event and do xyz, what happens?
- If my character goes asking around for x, what will they be told?
Examples of things that should still go on the FAQ:
- What kind of books does the library have on x topic? (Character is not specifically searching the library IC).
- Does the town have x facility?
- Is my character able to do x?
And, when in doubt, it's fine to just post the question on your best guess and I can move it as needed!

You certainly are feeling bold tonight.
Do you remember what I told you, Norton? The day we met?
You should be careful here.
...And I'm a bit old for a honeypot operation, don't you think?

Of course. I'll behave.
Or only misbehave in fun ways.
[His hand is still resting on Norman's and he shifts his fingers to lightly brush against his knuckles to signal what sort of fun misbehavior he's talking about. Then, a change of subject to show he can be good. No pushing the matter.]
I met Ian Fleming once, back when he was with Naval Intelligence. Very dashing man. Popular with the ladies, I thought. If I were to write spy novels, they'd be very different. And probably not publishable.

[ Beat. He watches Norton for a moment. ]
Why don’t you? Become a writer, that is. You’d probably be good at it. No reason not to. Show Americans exotic locales like Cambridge and Leeds.

[He expects Norman won't forget Norton's misstep quickly, but he's not dragging him off for torture either, so Norton will consider it a win and also not the worst date he's had before.
Then Norman calls Leeds an exotic locale and Norton bursts into bright, genuine laughter.]
Leeds?! It's not a bad city, but if it's your idea of exotic you need to travel more, darling. Not that I'm in any position to judge. I've always wanted to travel but the salary of a civil servant isn't really up for globe-trotting adventure, and there's no family wealth to speak of. So I'd read reports about other people carrying out work in exotic locales, never seen them myself.

You could write about those guys, then. Take some creative liberties, become a famous author adored by women and homosexuals everywhere. You know what the demographic wants. James Bond was never my type. Or the receptionist's.
no subject
Maybe I will give it a go. Famous author sounds much better than department store shop clerk. You'll have to be my reader, though. This was your idea so it's only fair you take some responsibility for whatever my mind births out. I could come by with new pages once a week.
no subject
You know, Norton, I wouldn't mind that. Not one bit. ...And I don't think Clancy would, either, would you, boy?
[ He takes a glance down at the dog who has settled himself between the couch they sit on and the coffee table, giving the dome of his red-and-white head and enthusiastic rub. ]
He likes you. You know, they say that there's no better judge of character than a dog. Don't prove him wrong, Norton. I've been enjoying your company.
