I really dislike doing scenes in chat, whether Aim or gchat
but this guy was all, hey, we should have ties!
and wanted to do a scene and it doesn't hurt me much to go along, so sure, why not
and then we start the scene,a nd I have my charcater show up, and now she's in trouble for not calling ahead?
he chose the locationa nd the setting for the scene
why is it my responsibility?
he's the one who is bored at work
he's the one who wants us to do a scene, even though it's seriously hard to justify my charcater being there
he really doesn't need ot make it harder
I find google docs also works well. But... Ugh.
it's just super annoying because it doesn't make sense for my character to do this way
it's a four hour drive to where the other character is and Lady Red is super schedualed
she wouldn't take that much time to visit someone without making prior arrangements
and she wouldn't enter another's territory without prior permission
and if she was going to be in the area, she'd have made arrangements to visit with her family there, not just with this random guy
the best i can figure is that the player is not aware that my character is in Bloomington, not Terre Haute
so it's all just super frustrating because I don't want to ignore the other player, but he's making this so much harder than it has to be and it's so much harder for me
it really don't like doing 'random scenes' anyway
and I don't like the speed expected of chat based scenes
it's this akward kind of 'come hang out with me'
there's no structure or reason for the interaction
but when you have to travel that far and take up that much time, you have to have a reason
