📔Common RP Terminology

There are many translations to common IRL phrases that help you remain in-character no matter what you need to convey. #AvoidOOC

VERY IMPORTANT: These are words to use in emergencies. Please, do not use these words and add them to your every day volcabulary. You should avoid mentioning ANYTHING that has to do with life outside of your character.

Examples include:

- Have to daydream for a few minutes

- Have to setup my bodycam/go pro

Just because they are IC terminologies to convey these human actions, it doesn't mean you should get into a habit of doing so. Please, stay immersed and avoid using these unless absolutely necessary. Overt usage can be seen as Fail RP.
