"Captain Prankster produces a spider, making sure to keep it out of Little Miss Muffet's view. An evil grin plays across his face..."
(At which point LMM can choose to respond in character- /em gets goosebumps and shudders for no obvious reason- or instead contact CP's player through /tell- "Hey, LMM is seriously creeped by spiders. Are you sure you want to do this?")
This approach can both avoid awkward situations by allowing for prior communication, and enhance the effect of the IC actions by building anticipation for the next step.
At least, that approach makes sense to me. Not that I know from rp, though- most of my alts are built for comedy or light, reactive rp at best.
The Beatnik,
not completely at home in this new format just yet.
