Emotions in psionic communication

[Erythil]

I find that treating telepathic communication as an exchange of emotions and a few images as well as simple speech makes for much more interesting and subtle roleplay than thinking of it as a cellphone.  It's called the 'Unseen Way,' and to me, that implies a bit of mysticism, or else it'd just be the 'Talking Technique.'

That said, I don't usually use the emotions unless it provides a subtext that the words alone could not convey.

My take on it:

It is convention to send emotions or images enclosed in sentinal
characters like *.  It is alright to do this so long as you are not
imposing any emotions on the contacted character.


Example:
   > contact sanvean
   > psi How are you today?
   > psi *mirth* That's really funny.  Good one.
   > cease

Which is from help psi.
