Roleplaying

Talk, and write what your character does.

say

say <message>
"<message>
'<message>

Say something out loud to everyone in the room.

Example: "Nice night for it.

to

to <person> <message>

Say something out loud to the room, aimed at one person.

Example: to Prismodal One root-fibre tea, please.

whisper

whisper <person>[, <person> ...] = <message>

Speak quietly to one or more people. Others in the room may catch part of it.

pose

pose <text>
.<text>
:<text>

Write what you do in the first person and leave your name out. The game puts
your name in front and fixes your first verb for each reader. Put a dot in
front of any later verb that needs the same fix. Your I, my, and
me become your pronouns for everyone else.

Example: .wave at Prismodal and .give them a nudge.

You see: You wave at Prismodal and give them a nudge.
Others see: Sol waves at Prismodal and gives them a nudge.

Name people the way you see them: their short description, the name you gave
them with recog, or a few words from the end of their description, such
as the willowy woman. If two people match, put a number in front:
1-willowy woman.

Anything in quotes is speech, shown exactly as you wrote it.

comma pose

,<text>
pose ,<text>

Start with a comma to open the pose your own way. Your name does not go in
front, and your first verb stays as you typed it. Your first I becomes
your name.

Example: ,Grinning, I .lean back in my chair.

emote

emote <text>
emote ,<text>

Write what you do in the third person. The text is shown as you typed it,
after your name. Start with a comma to leave your name out. Names of people
in the room change for each reader, as in a pose.

Example: emote waves at Prismodal.

You can name yourself in the text. If it starts with your name, the game does
not add it again.

lines

emote <text>|/<text>
pose <text>|/<text>

Break a pose or an emote into lines with |/ (a pipe and a slash) or \n.

Example: emote waves at Prismodal.|/then turns away.

@pecho

@pecho
@pecho on
@pecho off

Choose whether you also see your poses and emotes the way others see them.

For how poses, emotes and speech look to you, see help @reading.

language

language [<language>]

List your languages, or choose the one you speak.

looc

looc <message>

Send an out-of-character message to the room.

tease

tease <worn clothing> [at <person>]

Use the move written into a piece of worn clothing. Alias: flaunt.
