The Unspoken
Protocol
The unspoken protocol that guides
the actions of the patrons of the Harbor House is rather simple to
learn, if time is taken to truly observe. What does this mean?
For example, there are some psychics that reside in Abyssia...they
*can* read your thoughts. Others might "see" what you
are thinking through your actions. Others, for example, three
Imperial Knights have been together for so long, that they
anticipate the others' actions. How does this relate to you?
Reading the body language of those around you. Being aware of your
own positioning. And speaking clearly when you wish to be heard,
or lowering your tone when you are speaking confidentially.
"/me thinks" is something that should be avoided, unless
it is in a narrative: Even then, care should be exercised. Many
times, inflammatory statements have been made under the guise of
"thinking." And then the "Thinker" crows,
"But I thought it, I didn't say it aloud."
Define your actions. Or conceal them. But by watching the others
interact, you too can adopt the secret language of the Unspoken
Protocols. And you will be all the more refined for doing so.
Enjoy your stay
