Oh you fiend :)
LuckyDee:
This is a nice move from the player/character point of view by the way. As a player, I'm outraged that I'm the one on the receiving end of this, instead of both us with HD holding the triggers for example.
From the character's point of view: Lazerus is pissed as hell, but refuses to let his emotions get the best of him. Instead he masks this with another emotion:

Had all be fine, he would have gone for the blank stare again. Watch for these things in Lazerus, since it might help in reading him while I try to play him as emotionally dead as possible.

@Silhar: About earning xp for good roleplaying, what are your ideas there? As you just demonstrated on a second occassion (since this incident was purely based on character interaction), xp will follow out of actions taken. But what about the general portrayal of characters?
And yes, part of why I'm asking is because I put a lot of thought in every post, forcing myself to see the situation through Lazerus' eyes if I feel I'm not hitting the right chord... I'd do this even if there's no xp to be earned, but for others (generally speaking) awarding xp say after each chapter might be an incentive to do the same, from which in the end the story would really benefit.
Silhar:
What are my ideas on awarding good roleplaying? Well, one of my ideas you've just seen. I award interesting (from a role-playing point of view) actions right away with small amounts of points. In PBFs it's much more effective than dealing them out at the end of the chapter.
Is it okay with you?
LuckyDee:
Yeah sure, I was just wondering what more tricks you might have up your sleeve.
