* Discussing organized traditions and history. The player sees her as someone who might have been an orphan due to Alma's temperament, but Alma got pushed over towards the euthanatoic tradition due to the aspect of caring for people who have to deal with grief and death (including dead people who have trouble finding their way across or get lost or have unfinished business). She is not used to woo. The fact that she uses that word sometimes is telling. She'll be gobsmacked a lot by woo experiences, overtime. She has trouble with their ethos. She struggles with the concept of reincarnation. Graham called her a judge. She is judging them.

I enjoy casual conversation and mundane activities. And ostensibly casual conversation has the potential to change characters. I don't expect your character in another sphere to discuss sphere stuff. "Did you +bbread the article about the thus and so?" My character has a muddled and non-linear thinking style at times. If you need me not to pose that so much, let me know. I don't mind adult themes and RP, but I don't feel like RPing male gaze and some -isms. If that is IC I'd prefer to FtB, and we can establish tenor and what happens with an OOC conversation.
