Hi there, I'm fairly new to Lusternia, though not to IRE (been on Achaea for quite a while). So far, I've loved it here!

Today, I saw this and didn't know how the person was doing, and they wouldn't respond on how.
Basically when I walked it, the person's QL description read something like " is quietly sobbing at NPC", etc.

I honours to check for title change, and didn't see that in the title. Is this some sort of skill? Is there some sort of position/emote command I don't know about?

Thanks in advance!

Those are poses, certain emotes that change your room desc. Others include frowning, chin rubbing, hand holding, etc etc. There's a bunch, a whole list can be found in HELP EMOTIONLIST or some file like that.

Check EMOTIONLIST for the ones you can do and itll list whether it can be targetted and posed. Perform said emote and voila, posed. To unpose just STAND.
