A good lesson in RPing...

[G_yoshi]

This is a quick summary of what happened to my whilest I was RPing the other day. This is not to bash anyone, just to show what could happen in a given situation, such as the one I was stuck in.

Anyway, to begin, I was outside the Dustari gate waiting to be granted permission to enter. My RP character enjoys naps under trees and Dustari has some of the nicest trees to nap under. So I find me the closest one and take a nap. I am later attacked by a rogue Dustari member who eventually steals 6 Gralat from me after running me down on his horse. I was also kicked out by him as well.

Not too much longer, a kind samaritain-type Dustari let me in and took me to a bed to rest...but not before I had collapsed when I had gotten across the bridge. I came to a little afterward and was quickly escorted into a room with a bed upon which, I fell asleep instantly.

Several hours later (some time around midnight IRL) I awake to find a darkened room and the only way out, locked. In a panic, I began to pound on the door and call for help. No response. Eventually, I find myself hungry again and in need of food...the nearest thing...some books on a bookshelf in the back of the room. I then quickly begin to tear out pages and voraciously eat them. Still not satisfied, I wound up eating several whole books.

Then, I was rescued. I ran out of the room gasping for fresh air and was welcomed and offered food and drink which I graciously accepted.

The lesson? Try not to get locked in to dark rooms :x

On another note...I *could* have said leave...but because that is not very RP like, I refused and waitied for real-time assistance.
