Hmmm.. I had actually never thought of a ritual for switching in and out of the role. I think we would both have to put some very deep thought into it, but then , anything that's worth doing is worth doing right.

I know it's not good to play with emotions like that but it was honestly the only way I managed to get into the mood in the beginning, I mean I even had a hard time in rp to begin with.

I'll ask him if there's anything he would like to do when we switch, as a preference over everything else that is. -grins- heck, we might be able to incorporate it into some of our more far-fetched rps.

Thanks again for the help, and I'm really grateful for all the ideas everyone's giving me to get over this problem. I appreciate any help I can get, I'm almost at my wits end.
