Sadly she vanished right after that. It was like encountering a cryptid in the wild.

Complete with the odd combination of “this is creepy, but wow!”

You can play a bossy character with an IC title who micromanages everything while waving that title around. You can be a slow poser.

What you can’t - or at least shouldn’t - do is be both of those during large, plot-critical scenes. Because now that your PC has ICly appointed themselves the only one permitted to act or make decisions, your 15-20+ minute paragraph long poses (and they’re always at least 15-20+ minutes) force everyone else to endlessly wait. I’m sympathetic to being a slower poser for whatever reason, but when you’re constantly making yourself into a bottleneck in plot scenes where everyone only has three hours at most, it’s just disrespectful of everyone else’s time. Play something else, write shorter poses, whatever.
