So Im just going to leave it as first come first serve. Unless I come back to find two people who replied nearly the same time and missed each other. Then two people I guess. There's two IN GAME rps started and I really wanted to get one going outside of it. Since I kind of decided Seyl lives in America, I just kind of... shoved her into New York. Which is a state/city I personally dislike, but eh. And its a popular tourist spot. Makes it easier to meet up with those from other countries. Meh. I personally don't know much about NY, feel free to correct me on some stuff. Im just going to leave it as she lives somewhere in Hell's Kitchen. Don't ask its randomly chosen.
also, If you don't want to join, feel free to leave this thread for a while. Its just that this section was so bare I had to start something.
Seyl stood in the dog park along 12th avenue, also know as pier 84, sitting at the edge of the waterfront staring at the Intrepid Sea,Air, and Space museum, or what is behind the main building for that matter. Jets, ships, and a whole assortment of vehicles lined the opposing pier. Its not that she particularly wanted to go there or anything, she just found it interesting to watch those visitors on the other side walk around oblivious to the fact someone was watching their every move. It would have looked creepy if she didn't have her sketchbook out, along with a pencil. She squinted through her glasses, and drew the people on the other side, walking about and doing whatever they were doing. She paused for a bit, taking off her glasses to rest her eyes, and pulled her arms in a stretch.
She normally would have gone online to Collapsed reality by now, but her mother demanded she leave that virtual reality and her house for once. She had complained that she left for school almost every day, only to be kicked out, nowhere to go. Sure, New York was famous, "Big Apple" and all, but if you've been there for a loooonnnggg time, it gets extremely tiring. No where to go that you haven't been to, or is too shady to go to, or they're just too far away. Only thing fun really was the game. And doodling on peoples faces when they're asleep. Seyl got into really bad trouble for that last time though. She stopped stretching, and replacing the glasses back onto her face, squinted at the other side to find the person she was drawing again.

-okay, question. Does this have to be MY character? Because... chances would be SLIM, even if my character travels a lot, even if it's especially a lot due to family. Also, where are we in the timeline, relative to the first RP? -I'm totally signing up, actually do want it to be my character, maybe once the two have known each other online a bit, enough to recognize each other if they talked IRL -yup ideas.

So: -been playing this game a LOT (at least by my character's standards) for almost two months, gotten to know each other well through questing/hunting/hanging together most of the time in-game. -Siph goes on an especially-long hiatus, vacation in America before the (southern hemisphere) school-year... -know each others' real first names
...and where exactly are we in NY, being a rather large city? Sydney has family there.

Sydney was on vacation in America. Okay, not really. The MAIN reason she got to visit New York for the sixth or so time was a real-life meeting for an online class she was in. Organic chemistry- not her strong subject, but not all-too boring, at least. It was a useful subject for a future medical student, which, no doubt, she was going to be after high school. Being towards the end of the summer vacation back in the Southern Hemisphere, Sydney had plenty of extra time on her hands.
A girl in front was sitting on a bench, staring at her. Sydney smiled politely. She was in a good mood. The girl returned to her notebook. Sydney passed by, sneaking a glance at the notebook, surprised to see her own profile. At least... it looked that way?
"Oh." she blurted. The girl looked up. Sydney cleared her throat, "You've been... drawing me?" she said to keep the awkwardness levels down.

Seyl looked up at the other girl. She was about her height, and was a standing still for some time, a perfect quick sketch model. Unluckily she noticed her. "Oh.. yeah. Sorry if that bothers you." Seyl said in a low voice, slightly nervous. She didn't seem to mind, but alot of people did.
She Flipped the page, not paying attention to what she was doing. She kind of wanted to run off. The sketch book pages flipped one after another, some being sketches from the game she played. She seriously wanted to go home and play it now, seeing how she was feeling extremely awkward with the other girl staring at her.

"No, no, actually," said Sydney quickly, feeling bad for falsely making the older girl feel bad. "It's actually quite... flattering." She'd never had someone draw her before. Definitely not for FREE. "Wow, somee of those are amazing!" she commented stil without thinking. She should have walked off by now. Usually she'd excuse herself anyway, but today she didn't really have much to do. She'd been at the pier once already, so it wasn't even like she'd miss out on touring the place.
"Collapsed Reality, huh?" She grinned broadly, sitting down by the girl on the bench. "can I see this?". CR MAY have been pretty popular, but she usually didn't bump into fellow gamers with notebooks full of its sprites.

"... sure." Seyl replied, handing her her notebook. She smiled slightly, glad someone enjoyed being drawn by her, or her artwork for that matter. All the critique she ever got was pretty harsh especially at her college. No one was really that friendly here. Remembering one of her older pictures was still in the notebook, she slipped her fingers between the pages quickly pulling out the older drawing, and stuffed it into her pocket. Guessing that this girl was a fellow CR player, she couldn't show her such a terrible drawing.
(just imagine stick figues and things)

"So, what's your name?" Going backwards through the notebook, Sydney noticed that most of the scenery dawn reflected the last few places she'd visitd, the last few quests and dungeons she'd done in CR. Then she noticed a picture of four characters. Four very familiar characters...

"Seyl. You?" She said, noticing recognition in flicker through the other's eyes. Perhaps she was someone she knew, or has visited those areas recently.

"Siph. I... I mean, you drew Siph. And- my real name is Sydney by the way. Like Sydney, Australia. The country with the boomerangs. even though I'm from New Zealand, but I still like boomerangs..." she was just blabbering along, and she couldn't even be completely sure that this Seyl girl was who she thought she was."Are you, are you really Syn?" she ask, suddenly getting uncomfortable. She was so worked up with the excitement of meeting her bst online friend that she didn't even think of asking, and now realized that the chances were so small, and was already blushing with embarassment. 'Please say yes. Please, please' She begged for the answer she was hoping for in her mind.

"OF COURSE I AM" Seyl broke into a grin "If I wasn't I would have interrupted you at boomerangs." She said, her grin turning into more of a smug smirk. "Which was at the beginning of your speech, if you don't remember." She laughed, really glad to have finally met Sydney. She was going to rub the fact that she met Sydney in their other group member's faces. ALOT.

(ALOT!!! NOT MORE OF THOSE NASTY CREATURES (~a lot~))
Sydney couldn't stop smiling... this, this utter coincidence did not happen often, in fact, she was pretty sure she was one of VERY FEW gamers who met a guildy (WE'RE GUILDIES RIGHT?) IRL without planning it, and without even knowing they were so close. "Speech? Well, you know, this doesn't happen often..." she blushed more. She was one of those people who had the tendancy to talk a lot when they were shy or something like that. "I totally forgot that you lived in New York. Wow, we've got to arrange another meeting before I leave back to the Southern Hemisphere." It WAS getting dark.

Seyl laughed at Sydney as she blushed, finding this reaction interesting. "Yeah, well it is getting dark I guess.... I live near here, so want to meet up here... maybe tomorrow?" She shrugged, she didn't have school tomorrow, so it wasn't like she had anything better to do. "Maayyybeee noon? I know a good place to eat." She suggested "or you could come over."
