Air Neophyte Lulah says to Mirai, "What's that?"

Mirai Skyplume says, "What's what?"

Air Neophyte Lulah says, "What you are doing."

Lulah tilts her head curiously.

Mirai Skyplume says, "I'm telling the guards that I think highly of them."

Mirai Skyplume says, "And it empowers them."

Mirai Skyplume says, "It's a type of influence battle."

Air Neophyte Lulah says, "Ohh."

Air Neophyte Lulah says, "I see."

Mirai Skyplume says, "You can empower denizens and it makes them a little
stronger."

Mirai Skyplume says, "And gives you esteem."

Air Neophyte Lulah says to a Guardian of the Dodecahedron, "I think you're
pretty."

You give a trillingly melodic laugh.

Mirai Skyplume says, "And experience."

Lulah tilts her head curiously at a Guardian of the Dodecahedron.

Mirai giggles happily at Lulah.

Connoisseur Yiila says to you, "For the record, that Shaddus is a horrible kisser."

Connoisseur Yiila says to you, "Speaking as one young lady to another."

You give a trillingly melodic laugh.

It is now the 9th of Vestian, 274 years after the Coming of Estarra.

Connoisseur Yiila says to you, "That Malarious is quite well equipped."

A cherubic smile comes over Yiila as he gazes around, wide-eyed and innocent.

*envy* I've been wishing Giallyn would chirp on the Spiritsingers channel since I got her! She does the guild emote (a modified version) and we've been joking that she should count towards guild rites. Most of the guild always tells me they consider her a member. Envy envy envy.

Hahahahah.

But I would never do ".....".

Me too! The emote NOTHING is there for a reason!

Yeah that part struck me as quite un-Lendren-like. I hate when people say "..." on any aether, in says, and especially in yells or shouts.

It's a commonly used habit in the RPG franchise, especially during dialogue where a character is sort of baffled or doesn't know what to say. Though not to say it has a place in Lusternia.

I never understood why people had such a problem with it, especially since I thought it was universally known for being baffled or speechless without saying as such.

Because on an aether, the sound of someone saying ... is precisely the same as the sound of someone not saying anything. How can I tell from halfway across the world that you're not just not saying anything, but pointedly not saying anything? It's actually worse than the widely-reviled idea of
(YourGuild): Somebody says, "*romp*"
and for pretty much exactly the same reason.

@Iamos: While yea, we have emotes and whatnot sometimes your brain just isn't able to process correctly and goes to a default which for several is the dreaded "..."

Yeah that part struck me as quite un-Lendren-like. I hate when people say "..." on any aether, in says, and especially in yells or shouts.

True. Although I do like the ellipses as part of a well-executed What? as per the following example:

...what?

(Aquamancers): Fania says, "Reiha I demand you come back here."

Cupping your hands before you, they fill with water and an image forms within of Reiha at ACQUISITIO OFF, ACQUISITIO OFF, ACQUISITIO OFF! (the Aetherways).
