This is a short tutorial for those of you usually recognized as "immersionists" a.k.a. digital people, genuine avatars, post-roleplayers… all of you whose identity and personality are not the same in the meatspace and on the grid. Yes, you!
This is a tutorial how to jump into the meatspace. Don't ask why, just go out there and play!
There are four types of situations of interest here:
-
You and human, f2f, alone Though this sounds like a horrible, dangerous, even impossible way to go, it might be easier than you think. But it's you, the avatar, that has to make the first step. Make it slow and gentle. Stay firm but mean no harm. Don't be afraid to look in the eyes. You two are friends. Or lovers. Or whatever. But on the same side. Even enemies if you both like to play that game. But still, you're in the same game together. So, depending on how you two define your relationship, go play, or talk or cuddle or … or whatever.
But it is you to start the things going. By every chance you, as an avatar, are the one that is flirtatious, more outgoing and more confident one. And better looking, but that is not important now. Use your full range of the avatarian social skills and lead the night.
For what it's worth: drink responsibly. And one more tip for polimorphs and shapeshifters among you: once you smuggle/snuggle one avatar in the atomic bed, it's easy to get the other too and you're on the road to cross-world threesome ;)
- You and known humans That is you and your human's friends. It is not recommended to do this if your human is not hanging with considerably crazy people. Rules are more or less the same as above but be even more careful. No matter how scared your human might be, others can go much worse. On the first mentioning of words like schizophrenia, nervous breakdown and alike, retreat and calm down the situation.
- You and the unknown humans It is fun to use strangers to break into the meatspace. Easy spots are cities where everybody is meeting strange people everyday. No matter how alienated you feel most of the people won't notice it because of all the other freaks that walk around. So, just relax and explore the limits. Don't be afraid to be weird. Don't hesitate to role-play. Good victims are employees on public spaces. Each day, they see too many faces to notice anything non-human on you.
- You in the crowd This one is either you alone or you and your human. First option is easy but not much interesting. Other one is also better when two of you are alone. But crowds are place for some activities that you might like. Dancing in the clubs comes to mind. Also walking the busy streets or swimming. It's nice to get sweaty or to feel the muscles moving.
So, what are you waiting for? Go to the meatspace if you haven't already. And get some adventures to tell us about.
Oh you did it again! *tries to stop laughing* no… *tries to stop the human laughing* no… *both try to stop laughing* or somesuch… *uncertain look* :D
So, the two of you are laughing together. That a good starting point.
hmmm… slightly offtopic… I wanna know everything about your latex suit, your guns and that reactor! ;)
ROFL…
catsuit is … well, a catsuit. Dunno where I got it.
Reactor is placed just under the club Reactor in the Mirage Space Station (check my picks for LM). It’s nice and new and made by Nicki Petrichor, as well as helmet. Guns are C-Tech’s Redemptions.
