Ok then, here goes:


Imagine the scene. You're walking along one day, doing whatever it is you do, minding your own business. Then, suddenly, everything goes a little funny and you find yourself falling through a hole in time and space. When you come to, you are lying on the ground in an appropriate gameworld, and standing in front of you is one of your RPG characters - looking as bemused as you, most likely. What is the first thing that you do?

Pick five characters.

Polly...
Swear and run. And probably die, unless she has something more entertaining to do.

Izza...
Try frantically to convince her I'm not an eidolon, and hope she's not under orders to guard the area. Fake a message from Amirah if necessary to survive the first minute. If going home remains out of the question, tell her a huge long list of things she needs to hear, and thereby ensure a fanatically loyal friend with combat skills, and (hopefully) less angst.

Adelaide...
Look around for her lackies, who will probably be trying to kill me for appearing in such an obviously unnatural manner.

Lady Tecalla...
Curtsy as best as I can while keeping an eye out for half-ogres, and do my best to convince her I have information she's interested in hearing. Then sell her ideas for gadgets. "Hey, did you know you can put Helium in blimps? Makes them burn and die slightly less often... let's go talk to someone at the University, shall we?"

Myta...
Look around anxiously for Horrible Monsters. Say how glad I am to have found such a well-respected adventurer, and hint that there might be a reward for getting me home.

Good god. Porting in to be greeted by polly - now *that's* a nasty surprise...

*OOooooOO! Another toy! Daddy will be pleased...*

Yeah. Mostly, people would be at some advantage manipulating their own characters, thanks to knowing exactly what to appeal to (loyalty, curiosity, business sense, ego, etc). Unfortunately, Polly has no redeeming features. The Mother Voice has been known to control her, but I really don't think I'd be scary enough for that to work.

... on the plus side, you know it wouldn't hurt much. It always surprises Polly how easily humans break.

It would be rather amusing, in that 'oh fuck don't kill me' way to see which buttons you could successfully press without getting killed. Angst-triggers ahoy!
