Daunting would be a perfect one-word description of what his laptop had revealed. Boris was signed in to<i>Innocent Innuendos, </i>searching specifically in its<i>Female Requests </i>section. There were 20 request threads per page, and it was 44 pages deep! Surely he could find one poor soul willing to role play with him. Pierre had instructed him to focus on threads within the first few pages, as those were more active and current instead of those buried deeper.<br/><br/>His next dilemma was deciding on which one or two threads to invade with his inquiry. How do you choose? he thought, already feeling overwhelmed. As far as he could tell, there were three routes to select from: Avatar, username, or title of thread. Some avatars were far sexier than others, though he knew that didn’t necessarily mean anything. All three options appeared to share similar traits, such as a stab at humor, seduction, or even simplicity.<br/><br/>Finding himself on page three, nothing so far had managed to catch his attention. And then a simple avatar, or lack thereof, stopped him from proceeding any further. The avatar with stopping power was nothing but a black square. It was as if someone was in a room and decided to turn all the lights off. It actually reminded him of a black hole, not that he’d ever seen one up close, of course.<br/><br/>With no defined way of proof, Boris was under the assumption that if a thread was in the female section, then that member had to be female. He didn’t really believe this, but he convinced himself that it was true. The black hole’s username was GhostWriter, and she titled her thread,<i>Looking for a Good Story. </i>Aren’t we all, miss? he thought. He decided to read her entire thread.<br/><br/>Upon completion, he began to craft a salutation to her.<br/><br/><i>Hello, GhostWriter,</i><br/><br/><i>Thought I’d take the time to drop you a line and see if you’re interested in an RP. I go by 47 (named after Agent 47 from the Hitman books, movies, and games), and all three of your themes sound good to me. Reply here to discuss further, or start a PM if that’s your chosen route of communication. Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you. Happy RPing!</i><br/><br/><i>47</i><br/><br/>POST REPLY was clicked on, and there was no turning back now. Oddly enough, he felt as though he was crossing a room to ask a girl if she wanted to dance. Rejection terrified him, but his legs just ignored him and continued their march toward her. A simple question, which called for a simple answer: Yes or no.
