I usually try to work with game mechanics in my RPs, but I also try to
build "time holes". Say: I was passing through a region and met John.
I start a conversation with John, but John doesn't respond and I need
to move out. If John's player agrees, we can continue the
conversation, pretending it all happened while we were both sitting
there. Of course, to an extent. After a few days, this bizarre time
hole should reach real BM time. For me at least.

Just offering a few tools to work with...
