So far as the point where you stopped in the bluffing to say that he is a player line, I have two possible routes you could go. The general rule while trying to deceive like this is to tell the lie that 1. gives the least information so that you can't be checked on it, 2. is generally the most believable. In the case of an MMO of any kind, that option is almost ready-made for this situation, that being "trolling," (or whatever they call it in that world, perhaps it has another name in each of the two in-story worlds. That could make things interesting.) He just likes messing around. The only other believable lie, that he is some kind of obsessive, gets overturned by the piece of information that she already gave that there is an invisible mode he could have done this in. That other beleivable lie leaves a few more bread-crumbs than trolling, but avoids a few other problems in that he will have a more ready-made reason to tell her to leave him alone. He still has the ability to explain away the questions that could be raised by the "obsessive" route. Trolling still gives the ultimate advantage tough in that if he goes that route then it would not make it at all out of line for him to answer "I don't know" to questions that, from her view, he ought to know the answer to. The exact delivery of this "I don't know" answer would probably involve him jumping back and forth between calling himself a player and a lifie. (feel free to re-phrase any or all of this in Xander's words in order to explain his thought-process. I still want to leave this mostly to you since, while I feel somewhat competent in writing for Xander, I do not feel so secure in writing for this player girl since she has knowledge of your world that I don't.)

I think I have most of the icons from the character template figured out (couldn't find a key anywhere so it's guess work). It was a little difficult since the computer I use to... indulge here... is very old (read ancient and nearly worn out, obsolete would be several steps up) and the only icon I can see is the happy face. Fortunately it shows up fine on my phone so happy/sad is pretty obvious, crown/pawn I assume is dominance and submisivness, and the two hearts are platonic vs. romantic love. The one I couldn't figure out is open hand/closed hand. As I'm writing this it occurs to me that it might be friend vs. enemy? BTW I'm going to start making requests now. --[[User:Notsooldpervert|Notsooldpervert]] ([[User talk:Notsooldpervert|talk]]) 19:22, 15 October 2016 (CEST)

Ok, I just looked through a google searched image gallery of anime female police officers, and I think this is the one that most closely matches my mental image of officer Thompsett in terms of attitude. I actually wanted her to be darker skinned with short hair, but all of those images were scantily clad dominatrix style. This is about the only modestly dressed professional one that also had the attitude I wanted, so I am going with it despite the hair length and skin tone being wrong. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kC5MT2r5U8s/SVYflDOflAI/AAAAAAAAH_o/0BX2ZlIzpoQ/s320/you're+under+arrest_+Miyuki+Kobayakawa.jpg

As for the name, I would say "Maria "Mary" Thompsett, police officer." If he does get closer to her, she is probably going to start having him just call her "Mary." Jemini (talk) 13:35, 14 October 2016 (CEST)

Yeah, that does sound pretty good. We'll go with that then. Jemini (talk) 14:51, 14 October 2016 (CEST)

So far as the point where you stopped in the bluffing to say that he is a player line, I have two possible routes you could go. The general rule while trying to deceive like this is to tell the lie that 1. gives the least information so that you can't be checked on it, 2. is generally the most believable. In the case of an MMO of any kind, that option is almost ready-made for this situation, that being "trolling," (or whatever they call it in that world, perhaps it has another name in each of the two in-story worlds. That could make things interesting.) He just likes messing around. The only other believable lie, that he is some kind of obsessive, gets overturned by the piece of information that she already gave that there is an invisible mode he could have done this in.
