[17:29]   Odaith: *waves in greeting* Hello there! You probably don't remember, as it was a little over a year ago now, but we touched base a while ago when I found and had interest in Mirkrali. I managed to get you on Discord, but the mood wasn't there at the time, and the account seems to have been mostly dormant since then. I've been on the hunt again the past few weeks, and have been taking my first steps into f-chat. I just caught sight of you in room, and noticed your status, so wanted to peek in, to at least re-establish contact, if not get a chance to enjoy some breeding fun *smiles*
[17:29]   Kriidraandir: Yooo, yeah, I dont really use discord all that much
[17:30]   Odaith: Everyone has their preferences *smiles* I always thought f-chast was just a web page based thing, but I found out it has it's own client, so I snagged that and have been snuffling about
[17:31]   Kriidraandir: yeah, it's an interesting place, what with  the worst of the worst kinks being here :V But, I keep to channels that are at least slightly more tolerable
[17:33]   Odaith: *smiles* Ferals and Dragons are about all I've got currently. I tried peeking into a few more, but for one, it was too hard to monitor it all, for for another, I wasn't seeing the sort of people I'd mesh with, or who had any interest in dragons. Granted that's still an issue often enough, hehe - but just because odds are higher doesn't mean they are good
[17:34]   Kriidraandir: it's a lot
[17:35]   Kriidraandir: I mostly just derp around on my chars in chat
[17:37]   Odaith: I haven't gotten quite there yet *smiles* Delving in to a large crowd is not my sort of thing. If Mind you, if I've got one person to interact with, I'm certainly not shy about doing so in front of a crowd - I'm just not comfy trying to draw attention in a large group of strangers. I've just been watching and reaching out privately now and again when I see the potential for interest/connection
[17:38]   Kriidraandir: it's hard to actually connect with people, imo, without first attracting attention to yourself in a chat. Some rooms tend to be clique-y, but once you get past that, it can be fun
[17:40]   Odaith: Yeah, I've reached out to a number of interesting individuals who seems to share much in common in the way of interests, only to simply not get a response. I think it's the 'some stranger is trying to talk to me, bleh' syndrom. I may get there in time, but I'm sure I've muddled the chance to enjoy the company of several by providing a 'poor first impression' in that manner
[17:40]   Kriidraandir: such is life :V
[17:42]   Odaith: Indeed indeed! I liken reaching out to new people to be similar to applying for jobs (in my experience). Only getting a response for 10% of attempts to make contact, and only making a connection with a tenth of those! Expanding social circles is not for the feint of heart, hehe
[17:44]   Kriidraandir: it takes time and effort
[17:45]   Kriidraandir is lazy, in that aspect
[17:46]   Odaith: *smiles* I go though phases where I devote the time and effort, and then diminish my reserves and have to rest for a while, then try again (the last time being about a year ago, when first making contact)
[17:47]   Kriidraandir: I just tend to have a lot of people trying to talk to me, and I only have so much attention or energy. Especially with an exhausting job
[17:49]   Odaith: *nods* Being female, with an array of alluring chracters, I'd imagine you need not do much more then poke your nose out of hiding to find more attention that you know what to do with  *smiles* Of course, then you have to work in reverse, filtering out all the bleh, 3-word-reply, and overly 'quirky' people
[17:50]   Kriidraandir: I think people just enjoy talking to me, characters aside.
[17:51]   Odaith: *nods* I wouldn't presume to know on that front, but it's certainly another aspect for sure :)
[17:53]   Kriidraandir: the faults of being introverted
[17:56]   Odaith: I can commiserate *smiles* We seem to be in the minority too, but ah well - life goes on. Doing the right things with the right people still results in good enjoyment in the end, even if it's a little more difficult to achieve
[18:02]   Kriidraandir: it all works out in the end
[18:03]   Kriidraandir: but as for rp, I'm waffling on it. I typically prefer in channel rp as it is
[18:06]   Odaith: *nods* Well it's certainly not something I'll push you for. It has to be enjoyed on all sides if there's going to be any point to it. But I will keep that in mind for the future. Knowing someone (even if a little) can be more than enough to reach out publicly. If you end up tipping more heavily to the 'yes', I'd happily breach the surface on a public channel, but only if it can be enjoyed
[18:07]   Kriidraandir: I'm just very tired from work, yanno. and half the time I say I'm looking and I'm like "wait nvm"
[18:08]   Odaith: Hehe, yeah - I know how it can be. I've been working long days (and had to take my work home with me this weekend to boot), and the mood can shift, particularly given that good RP is generally not a 30 minute done and over affair
