@oceangrunge I used to play FFXIV on Balmung and every once in a while something would Take A Turn

like an auction for a guild to afford an airship, selling rare items, and WHOOPS NOW SOMEONE'S PUTTING THEMSELF UP

@Dauntless I'M PARTICIPATING IN A CHARITY DATE AUCTION ON EBHAWK & I'M VERY EXCITED TO DISCOVER WHETHER IT'S POSSIBLE TO LITERALLY DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT

@oceangrunge OH GOD

🍿

@Dauntless also for the pre-requisite horror story: my guild used to do paid security jobs for other guilds at parties & social functions. IC security/OOC drama-squashing

one of which was a weekly ERP party

I was /constantly/ posted outside the sex rooms

I eventually livened up the job by hollering encouragement at the patrons

@oceangrunge Okay but imagine this in-character, though

You hear from outside the door you just shut, the guardwoman shouting "YEAH REALLY GIVE IT TO HIM"

@Dauntless "IT'S SMALLER THAN YOU THINK IT IS, BUDDY"

@oceangrunge OH MY GOD

@Dauntless I GOT FIRED FOR THAT ONE

@oceangrunge Jobs are temporary. Stories are forever. 💯

@Dauntless the real emergent gameplay
