Heyo RPN, long time no... write!
I had a friend recently describe to me how she, as a symptom of her ADHD, is prone to dropping any current hobbies of hers at around the 6-month mark in exchange for new hobbies. She might be really into knitting for a while, and then suddenly she isn't, and...
Hey RPN,

@Idea
I don’t double. I have had the exact train of thought that you expressed in your original post. I have nothing against playing multiple characters, I have no qualms about introducing an NPC cast and incorporating them into my 1x1s, and I’ve even participated in roleplays where I’ve had...
