A hypothesis, as asked in as circuitous way as possible and via my own characters. Many apologies.

Sallie, after her recent very un!Scooby-Doo like ghost antics, went to the infirmary to get checked out, which eventually happened with Kim Ford. Her main goal was yes, to get looked at, but also to not run into Simon Tam, as that would have led to more questions than she felt like answering. Batya later pinged me with something along the lines of "He could always find her chart, you know".

I guess my question is this: Do you often read other pups' threads (especially pups who are friends with your own) and think of ways that your character could get involved and then offer that involvement to the original player? Or do you more wait to be approached? This goes to spontaneous plot development, this goes to keeping an eye out at other folks' threads, etc etc. It's just something that was in my head.

I...I tend to wait, although sometimes it depends on how well I know a person, or their pup knows mine. I often have great difficulty in predicting pups and how they react, so the pups are unfamaliar, the most I can say is 'this might be interesting'

In this case of my pups being friends (or lovers) then, yes, my brain tends to come up with ways, and sometimes I'll suggest them.

Or, depending on the circumstance, point out my pup'd notice something, or get pissed if they knew, or would be going 'ohh, shiny', or what have you. But, aside from pointing out reactions, I tend to wait and see.

I definitely like having other pups (canonmates, friends etc) let me know what people's reactions would be to my character's actions. Example: POTC3 plot, where plot got delayed and Mal was out of the bar for two months. If people hadn't let me know what was going on elsewhere, I could not have edited plot participation to have Mal come back and deal with things at home.

*nods* Exactly.

Also, I do tend to do the joke-y thing that others mentioned. :)
