Help Topic: Whisper

Category: Roleplay -- You must be alive to use this command.

---

Usage for speech:
whisper <text to whisper>
whisper to <person> <text to whisper>
whisper to <direction> <text>

Only the people in your immediate vicinity will hear a whisper
without any obfuscation. Those at the same place as you will hear the
whisper with less obfuscation, and depending on someone's acuity,
they might be able to hear more of the whisper from further away.

If someone is not very acute, all the actions of your emote might be
hidden to them and they might not notice it at all -- unless you
are actually whispering and saying things, in which case they will
see a message that you are whispering. You can use it for secretive
gestures such as a squeeze while hugging someone, without many
people being able to see. But having a conversation will be more
obvious!

When you whisper to a direction, you need to be standing in the
vicinity of that direction, and need to use "to" in your syntax --
whisper "to" <direction>. The only people who will be able to hear
you decently are people who are standing at the vicinity of that
return exit in the other room.

Usage as emote:
whispermote <text that describes an action>
wmote <text that describes an action>
hmote <text that... you get it>
whisper: <text>

You can use any of these emotes with 'to', in order to whispermote
to someone particularly. Anyone in your immediate vicinity will see
a whispermote, but instigating a whisper towards someone -- when
you are not in their immediate vicinity -- will move you there,
and give you OOC roundtime.

If you don't want to stay 'touching' someone, you may wish to
politely distance a step after whispering.
