It was a good attempt. And in the process, you've better demonstrated comment nesting.
Do you see how she replied to me twice, and I could reply to both? Roleplay threads don't usually split like that when they're between two people, but the ability for a comment to branch out into multiple threads is frequently used in other ways.
Now, in the context of roleplay, comments are usually called tags. You won't see that terminology used in reference to out-of-character discussions on Dreamwidth - a "tag" is a comment's worth of roleplay. It's a verb, too, as in "Frey tagged me twice".
"I have three tags waiting for replies." "I will tag you back after work."
And so on.
A thread is a series of tags that comprises a sequence of events in roleplay. It can also be a verb - in this case, it's not so much about the act of replying to an individual tag as the general act of playing out a scene with someone.
"Our thread is becoming very dramatic." "Can you link me to the thread?" "Our characters should thread together when you're less busy."
Of course, terminology isn't vital to the process of roleplaying, but if you intend to play with those established on Dreamwidth, understanding the lingo will no doubt make things easier.
