The QUERY command allows you to put in a request to staff to interact with a certain NPC. A query doesn't necessarily need to be tied into a character's personal story and can be used for relatively quick and simple interactions.
Usage
QUERY <npc> <reason or availability>
The query can be as simple or as detailed as you'd like, within a 100-character limit. You don't need to know the NPC's name, or even necessarily have a given NPC expressly in mind. If you can only meet on certain days or at certain times, or have a particular place you want to meet, providing these details can help streamline a meeting, but they're not necessary.
Examples
query a barber I need a haircutquery donna I need to make a serious bread order, available 9PMquery lucy I'd like to meet with her in the pawnshopquery the shipwitchquery a fisherman To ask what sea serpents eat
Notes
- It takes 3 presence points to put in a query.
- Only staff can see lists of QUERIES.
- The text of the query details is limited to 100 characters because it shows up in the admin view as a concise list.
- Response times will vary with staff availability, but generally can be expected within a few days to a couple of weeks.
