While it's fine if you play NPCs that don't matter, for instance the waiter at the cafe you went to for some coffee, if the NPC is doing something important like in your most recent post, it would be for the best if I played it.
Exceptions are for when they're semi-important but suggestion is being used on them, but even in such cases I would prefer to play them, as it prevents things from getting out of hand too expediently.
So, I'll have to ask that you edit your post accordingly; once you've done so, I'll post a response. Apologies for the inconvenience~
What I'm trying to have Hector do probably wouldn't work quite well if it was in a "sentence-long post then GM's sentence-long response post". Would it be better if we worked on a realistic and reasonable dialogue in a PM, and then I edited it?
